i don’t want my kid to be like me.

[Image ID: five gifs of Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1 episode 3.09, "Fallout". He is in Frank's office:
GIF 1: Eddie smiling humorlessly, cocking his head as he explains to Frank, "I have these moments that are good."
GIF 2: Eddie shaking his head like he's reflecting on something as he continues saying, "We save someone from dying, my kid does something awesome."
GIF 3: Eddie smiling humorlessly, off to the side as a pensive expression takes over his face. The subtitle reads, "It's moments where I should be happy or proud or both."
GIF 4: Eddie looking at Frank, then lifting one shoulder in a weak shrug as he looks away again. The text reads, "I know that."
GIF 5: Eddie pursing his bottom lip in a facial shrug, shaking his head as he says, "Just don't feel it."

Round 3 of 8, Group 1 of 2
propaganda and summaries are under the cut (May include spoilers)
Leverage: 3.11 The Rashomon Job
Each member of the team recalls the story of an artifact all of them tried to steal on the same night five years ago.
its a great little bottle episode, if bottle episode meant something completely different than what it does. we get a sneak peak into everyone's histories, we get people making fun of each other by changing their stories once they realize oh my god that was YOU??? and we get shit like the Shrimp Allergy Debacle
Succession: 3.09 All The Bells Say
Matsson's vision for the business leads Shiv and Roman to manage the fallout, while Logan weighs his options.

hi!! i love your succession meta/discussions and I just rewatched 3.02 where all four Roy siblings talk about what was happening with the migrants/dancers/cruise ships etc. and how Connor and Kendall wholly admitted to knowing, but Roman and Shiv didn’t … or didn’t actually know. I’m so interested in seeing more of these kinds of things in s4, like warped versions of their experiences, completely different perspectives depending on the sibling. Also, in 3.08 Caroline corrects Shiv that she was 13 when Caroline and Logan divorced, and not 10 like Shiv says… like these details are super intriguing to me! i hope to see more of their childhoods unpacked (especially Connor)! take care by the way!! <3
Hi! Thank you so much, anon! This was a really lovely ask to get. <3
I totally agree about being fascinated by the distinctions the show makes and what that means in terms of memory, ignorance, accountability and complicity, and luckily for both of us, I think the show is too, haha. It circles around a lot - in the examples you gave, but also in Kendall, Roman and Connor's different understanding of the dog pound game, Roman repurposing memories of Connor to use for Logan and in - - well. Pretty much everything in the fallout of Shiv's wedding.
Hell, even in today's episode, memory is weaponised twice over - first with Logan choosing to use the past against Greg ("Where's your old man, huh? Still sucking cock at the county fair?") when Greg tries to use the present against Logan ("Where are your kids?") and then, in a much more complicated scene, with Tom and Shiv at the end of the episode, where Tom wanted to talk about the past while Shiv couldn't allow herself that vulnerability.
If we're the sum of the things we've done, what does that mean when we and the people we love have done terrible things? When do these things become memory, and what power do we have to re-write our stories? How can we protect ourselves from what we've done, and others from what we've done to them? How do we hold them accountable for what they've done to us? Who does a truth belong to? And why is it that sometimes it can heal, as it does for Kendall in 3.09, cut, as it's done to Shiv and Tom now, and lock us down, as it's done to many of the people on the periphery of the Roy's lives?
It's complicated! And man, am I just glad this show is back.
