thing my brain has decided to scream incoherently about this time around rewatching fellowship of the ring: isildur getting three arrows in his back running away to save himself vs boromir getting three arrows in his chest facing the enemy in defense of his friends

Lwaxana tenderly cradling liquid odo was more intimate and tender than any of "the link" connections.

If Dukat was real I think he wouldn't care at all how depraved people got about him. He'd see I've used the tag "mpreg Dukat" and say some shit like "thinking of me, aren't we?"

The scene in Gilmore Girls where Lindsay's mom confronts Rory in the town square for "breaking up a marriage" is so interesting to me because it is such a Lorelai moment.

Lorelai is the type of person who would yell at someone she thinks has wronged her daughter: to try to make them feel bad, to try to make them take accountability, regardless of the environment or if the person she is confronting is actually the most responsible or if her accusations are accurate (see her fight with Max and Headmaster Charleston when Rory isn't allowed to take her test in s1, her fight with Luke when Rory and Jess get into the car accident, etc).

And the framing of the scene visually cements the similarity between Lorelai & Lindsay's mom: the director, Daniel Palladino, chose to use extremely similar shots, but with the mother daughter pair's position flipped across the y axis as though they are mirrors of each other.

In addition, the mothers are both making direct eye contact with each other, both openly angry, thinking they are protecting their daughters. But their daughters are also acting similarly to each other—both embarrassed and uncomfortable and sad, avoiding eye contact.

Although Lindsay's mom is trying to contrast "monster" Rory with her innocent daughter, the parallels between both mothers & daughters highlights the fact that Rory and Lindsay are not so different—they were both manipulated by Dean.

That time Julian called Kai Winn a petty coward to her face and gave zero fucks.

Shame they didn't get any scenes after this together.

One of the things I love about Buffy is that it presents knowledge and research as an absolutely vital part of the process of world saveage. So much of the show is dedicated to the characters sitting around doing research. And that’s pretty rare. Usually if research is a plot device in these kind of shows, it happens off screen. Which does kind of make sense on a storytelling level - it’s not usually that interesting to watch people look stuff up. But I really like that BtVS finds a way to make it interesting, not only because it leads to a lot of great group scenes, but also because it foregrounds the value of educating oneself about something before engaging with it. Which, you know, is an excellent value to foreground.

FINALLY after so many years I am reading Anne of Green Gables and ofc I love the sweet relationship between Matthew and Anne but we need more appreciation for Anne and Marilla bc Marilla wants to act like she's no-nonsense and hard and shit and she IS in a way I guess but deep down loves Anne and I love the moments where she finds herself having to check her emotions bc she wants to laugh at things Anne does or how she deep down agrees with her on things she feels she SHOULDN'T agree with her on like Mr. Bell's prayers and the ministers sermons lmaooooooo

remember that episode of voyager where the doctor gets kidnapped and forced to work in a hospital managed by ai and is so disgusted by the status-based tiers of medical care - where the working class is left to suffer and die while the medicine that could save their lives is used on vanity treatments for the elite - that he kidnaps the chief admin guy, makes him deathly ill, and hacks the computer so it thinks he's fucking useless and not worth saving, and refuses to do anything until he changes the system?

i like that one.
