Julian Bashir is actually the strongest person who ever existed because if I had to go to work knowing that all of my coworkers had met the physical embodiment of my fantasies about one of those coworkers I would probably quit my job. IF I survived the experience

Miami Vice S1E16: Smuggler's Blues
Sonny and Rico fly to Colombia with Eagles frontman Glenn Frey.
The first time I watched this one was before I'd watched Wiseguy, so I don't think I had much of an opinion about Glenn Frey other than TAKE IT EEEEEASY, TAKE IT EEEEEEASY
Anyway I actually really like him as an actor and I think he does a great job of playing a super burnt out aging hippie Vietnam vet here
This is also the second (and unfortunately the second to last) episode directed by my best pal Paul Michael Glaser, so it's thoughtful and well-paced and fairly homoerotic, which is all one really needs for a solid Vice episode
The DEA does not come off well at all in this episode:
Sonny tells a callous and "results oriented" DEA agent who blames casualties on the "politics of contraband" that "the politics of contraband does not involve killing children," and then straight up calls him a fascist
And later a Rico expresses a sense of surprise that they're involved in such "a big operation, moving people to Cartagena," and a DEA agent responds with "not people, just you two"
...which is all fair because the DEA is terrible, although we're still in the portion of the series where (Sonny especially believes) "regular cops" are still positioned as good, so a bit of pot-kettle going on there
Trudy SO wants to go to Cartagena and make a drug deal but the DEA agent tells her she is staying in Miami and posing as Rico's wife. : (
We'll see later in Prodigal Son that PMG is really good at directing Don Johnson, but it's very clear in this episode that he's also extremely good with Philip Michael Thomas
There's a bunch of moments in this one that are very Starsky & Hutch -- the fight in the alley could literally be ripped from an S&H episode, and the later scene where Sonny and Rico have a wordless conversation in matching doorways feels very S&H as well
The lyrics to the Glenn Frey song Smuggler's Blues straight up narrate part of the episode, to the point where it feels a little silly. Trudy sure does have a suitcase when you're singing about suitcases
We don't get to see if their hotel room only has one bed but I like to believe
So. I think this is the episode where Sonny, who is very good at ignoring his own feelings and refusing to process anything, suddenly realizes that he might care about Rico More Than Is Normal or Acceptable. When Tubbs is captured by the Colombian police, he lets him go fairly quickly, and without pushing back too much on Jimmy-- until they get back to the hotel. He doesn't freak out until he has the time and space to process, and then he snaps. Jimmy asks if he's going to just take on the entire Colombian police force, and Sonny says 'maybe,' and he tries to strangle Jimmy. When he calms down, and Jimmy offers him a cigarette, he breaks the filter off. And then as he and Jimmy sit and discuss loss, Sonny genuinely looks like he is (and frankly he could be) crying. He tells Jimmy that Rico is the one guy he's "gotta wait for," and then when Rico gets out of jail, he sees that Jimmy has left and Sonny has completely trashed the hotel room.
You know.
Normal coworker kind of behavior.
Thank you PMG for always supporting your loyal queers
There is an unremarked upon and incredibly ominous small boy who follows Grocero (the drug dealer) around throughout the episode, and I'm sure the intention is something-something the way the drug trade fucks up kids bla bla BUT what it actually comes off as is just. David Lynch Red Room shit. Haunted child.
When Trudy is captured later and Castillo is deciding who is going to try to defuse the bomb she's strapped to, twice Gina asks for it to be her, and twice the entire rest of the team ignores her. It's a really interesting little moment, especially coupled with the DEA agent shutting down Trudy's desire to go to Colombia earlier-- Gina and Trudy are often given short shrift, but it's not usually remarked upon. These lines didn't need to be included-- Gina and Trudy could've just been excluded from the missions as they often are-- but instead this episode actually highlights the ways they're sometimes dismissed and prevented from fully participating in things the men of Vice are never questioned on. I'm not 100% certain, but from what I recall this may be the only time this tendency is lampshaded in this way-- I suspect because this episode was written by Miguel Piñero, which is to say: Calderone himself.
Piñero was a playwright and poet known for piercing portrayals of modern society and its ills (especially with regards to the treatment of Black and Hispanic populations). He died very young, but in that time was nominated for or received a number of prestigious writing awards and helped found the Nuyorican art movement. I do not think it's a coincidence that this man saw some things (Vice's iffy track record with women, the abject uselessness and evil of the DEA, even the portrayal of the Colombian police captain not as corrupt but desperate) more clearly than many of the other writers on the show. It's also worth noting that Piñero was bisexual, and in a relationship with gay painter Martin Wong at the likely time of writing this episode-- which is to say I don't think Sonny's "oh. Oh no." moment about Rico ought to be brushed off as "straight writer accidentally makes something homoerotic because they don't think or care about women."
Tubbs blesses himself when he hears that Sonny and Trudy are okay-- he is not generally portrayed as particularly religious, but he probably had a Catholic upbringing, given his background, and it feels like a very real reaction.
The episode ends with Tubbs waxing philosophical about why anyone would do any of this shit and deciding that "the bottom line is money," and Castillo agreeing, "usually is." That's it folks! That's the show!
So uh. Is Jimmy dead
I know in a later episode some other smuggler will be like "yeah Jimmy told me all about you guys" to Sonny and Rico but like. Someone forgot to wrap up Glenn Frey's storyline here
He gets shot and then we just never see him again
R(?)IP Jimmy

I rlly thought people were over exaggerating when they said that Dr Chase was super fat-phobic but I just started the ep with the girl and I have been proven extremely wrong. Like why the fuck did they make him that fatphobic????

Day 13: Favorite scene where the Gaelic language was spoken
My favorite scene would have to be the conversation between Murtagh and Jamie at the abbey in Season 1 Episode 16 To Ransom a Man's Soul. When I first watched this scene I had no idea what was being spoken between Jamie & Murtagh. One could imagine what they were talking about considering Jamie asked Willie to kill him. You also hear Murtagh mention Claire's name during the conversation. I recently read a translation of the scene and it broke my heart but also warmed my heart because of Murtagh and his loyalty to Jamie.
Tumblr media
I found this translation from Great Scot blog - https://greatscotblog.com/2015/06/01/outlander-episode-116-to-ransom-a-mans-soul-the-gaidhlig-bits-i-could-decipher/
27:11
Jamie to Murtagh - Ciamar as urrainn ​mo leigeil ris a’ chràdh seo​?​ – How ​can I be left to ​this pain?
Murtagh to Jamie - Nì sinn ar dìcheall do leigheas.​ – We shall do our utmost to heal you.
Jamie to Murtagh - Cha ghabh cuid de ​nithean​ leigheas – Some things ​don​’t ​take h​ealing​.
Mar as miann leam, cuir crìoch air seo a-nis. – As is my desire, put an end to this now.
Murtagh to Jamie - Chan ​fhu​ilinn mi ​’n c​òrr. – I’ll suffer no more of this.
Jamie to Murtagh - Chan fhaigh mi seachad air seo. – I won’t get ​past​ this.
An toir ​u orm aslachdainn? –  Will you force me to beg?​
Murtagh to Jamie - Thug mi geall do d​’ mhàthair. – I gave a promise to your mother.
​Sìth air a h-anam​. –   Peace on her soul
Nach tig​eadh cron ort​. –  That no harm would come to you.​
Jamie to Murtagh - Is anmoch an uair, a ghoistidh - late is the hour, oh godfather​.
Murtagh to Jamie - Agas Claire? – And Claire?
Am bitheadh i na banntrach, air a treigsinn? –   Would she just be a widow, forsaken?
Tha do cheann sa bhrochan. – Your head’s in the porridge (you’re not thinking straight).
Chan eil smaoin agad oirre ann. – You haven’t a single thought for her.
Jamie to Murtagh - Chan eil smaoin agam ann ach oirre-se. – I have​n’t a single​ thought ​of anything but her.
I was thankful the blog had the timestamp of the conversation so I could go right to it.

What's your spirit animal?
As I understand it, dearie, that particular gift is granted solely to members of certain specific cultures native to this realm only. Even in my curse memories, I laid no claim to being part of one of those. Afraid I have neither answer nor animal for you.

Abigail Spencer and Matt Lanter in Timeless (2016) The Red Scare
S1E16 Season finale
With one of our heroes' lives on the line, the team chases Flynn to 1954 through the paranoid corridors of Joe McCarthy's Washington D.C., en route to a secret, once-a-generation meeting of Rittenhouse leaders. While there, Lucy must wager the ultimate sacrifice to save history as we know it.
*This was going to be the last show of the series, as NBC announced on Wednesday 5/10/2017 that it was being canceled. However, the internet "erupted" with protests the next day, and the network's response was unprecedented. On Saturday 5/13/2017 NBC "uncancelled" the show and ordered 10 more episodes.
