Say what you will about the actor who plays Marisol LastName 911, but I’m firmly on team Marisol Dump Eddie’s Ass and I have been since 7x04. You can do better than this girl.

The West Wing + The Onion headlines (?/?)

one of my all-time favorite pieces of television writing is in the west wing pilot when c.j., the press secretary, asks "is there anything i can say except for 'the president rode his bike into a tree'?" and leo, the chief of staff, responds "the president, while riding a bicycle on his vacation in jackson hole, came to a sudden arboreal stop"

surprised that no one (afaik) has moved to claim 'holding out for a hero' as The Buddie Song

#one edit of them to it please I beg #“racing on the thunder and rising with the heat” #“like the fire in my blood” #“he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight” #what more do you want? #911 abc #evan buckley #eddie diaz #buddie

both the avatars we've seen so far are such cringefail losers. mr “i cuddle people to death and will break down the moment someone says i'm not scary” needles and mx “i changed my entire wardrobe and aesthetic as soon as i realized i had the power to wreak chaos, but i gave up my spooky artifact the moment i witnessed one really gorey consequence and died immediately afterward” whatever-their-name-is.

honestly got no patience for any of the main midge/man ships when it’s blatantly clear to me that the true love story in tmmm is susie/midge…. like doesn’t matter that it’s not romantic, that’s the only love story that isnt obviously doomed and lasts and is healthy 

#prev tags are exactly how I feel

Here's a pride month flavor musing for you:

There's something to be said about the fact that even when works of period art are deliberately using a fun house mirror version of history so they can have more modern/progressive sensibilities for either race (Bridgerton) or feminism (Mrs Masiel) they still almost always maintain a period accurate attitude twords homosexuality and queerness.

It's almost like this weird tacit acknowledgement that though we can expect the audience to accept a desegregated British Aristocracy or a 1950s house wife doing stand-up comedy that speaks to modern feminist struggles, we can't expect an audience to accept gay people having happy fulfilling lives and relationships in the same way. Queerness still has this edge of enforced tragedy, secrecy, and shame to it. Of course Shy Baldwin is forced to marry a woman in order to keep his fame and to loose his best friend after nearly being outed. Of course Suzie's one romance is a tragic heartbreak that embittered her to love and left her "happy to be alone". Of course Reynolds and Brimsley must steal moments in secret and ultimately be separated- without even a passing explanation as to why their not together in the "later" timeline. Their is certainly no scene of them reuniting in the same way George and Charlotte get. Reynolds and Brimsley are queer, it's assumed they don't get to be happy and end up together, even as the show lauds the undying and unyielding love of a interracial Queen Charlotte and King George.

I know that it's just a reflection of where our society is and yet....I can't help but wish it was different. I love all these big budget glossy period pieces that look back at our history and ask "what if it had been different? What if we had been kinder and more accepting and less hateful?" and I genuinely do believe that is a question worth asking. I just think it's a question worth asking for everyone.

still thinking about how the final season of marvelous mrs maisel said that yeah Susie IS gay and never really got over her first love until she met Midge and never dated anyone else again after she met her either. and then it said Midge married a bunch of different men but what she was really looking for was someone to make her laugh. and then the show ends with Midge and Susie as old ladies laughing together. because they're the love of each other's life

I am literally so obsessed with Poker Face. I truly can’t believe I’ve never talked to another person who’s seen it, especially on tumblr (the Benoit Blanc website AND the Natasha Lyonne website) ???? I would watch One Thousand seasons of the devastatingly sexy Charlie Cale solving murders in the most dykey reckless adhd-hyperfixation way. Side note I think I’m in love with her

Casting Natasha Lyonne as Columbo is, in retrospect, so head-smackingly obvious that I’m legitimately upset with myself, and everyone else, for not loudly demanding it for the last fifteen years

Forget Community, get Poker Face six seasons and a movie.

Any character portrayed by Natasha Lyonne, experiencing horrors beyond human comprehension: “Oh, hello, very good, okay then, understandable. Horrors, horrors, horrors, et cetera, I’ll be getting the fuck out of here now, thank you for your time.”

hi Neil! hope you're having a good one! silly little question -- in Good Omens 2 we see that demons have to be invited into the bookshop in order to enter, but Crowley doesnt. is he an exception to the bookshop wards, or does the bookshop have enough sentience/psychic ties to Aziraphale that it just doesn't recognize Crowley as a threat?

What makes you think that Crowley wasn't invited in on opening day, over 200 years ago?

Did John Finnemore have anything to do with John Hamm's joyous delivery of Gabriel in series 2? I just felt like there was a element of Arthur from Cabin Pressure.

This is my first ask on Tumblr but I'm itching to know if I'm seeing more into it

Ta

John wrote the first few scenes with Gabriel meeting Aziraphale and the "Jim" scenes, and really set the tone for the character.

#this is a psa to everyone that sees this that if you enjoyed season two's shenanigans go listen to cabin pressure #it's just a full on radio show of shenanigans (which then becomes awfully poignant from time to time)
