#MFS:2x04

[time-lord-hilarious]

Realistically if Daniel will bring up anything in those files to Armand, which I believe is nigh inevitable, it has to be mf Marius - they’ve already spoken about him in the context of the painting in the penthouse, and I also believe it’s gonna be either in 2x04 to parallel Loumand museum date and the conversation we hear in the promo, or after the San Francisco flashbacks, Daniel desperately trying to regain sense of control, which isn’t going to be pretty at all

Damn this episode was intense, I was on the edge of my seat all along! My heart ache for Abigail, she’s going through so much. Part of it she can only blame herself for, but there’s so much she can’t control. But I’m glad Tally is not letting her former link to Alder cloud her judgement and the unit is still her first priority no matter what. Shit is about to go down, and I’m a bit scared for her, because unless the link they shared can keep Alder from hurting or killing Tally for any reason, she might try to get rid of her.

I’m scared but also very curious to see where this will lead. This show is truly amazing.

Anacostia and Scylla in 2x04 Not Our Daughters

A.K.A MFS hitting us with the social commentary

[riosnecktattoo]

The 2x04 scene !!!!!! The writers were in their bag when they wrote that ep!! The fact that she went to his bar hoping he would be there. IT ONLY TOOK ONE LOOK ARE U KIDDING ME??????? It's the fact that Rio had to walk past Dean to get to Beth for me. I absolutely love that he just waited for her like?? and they were just staring at each other in mirror!!! The intensity!!! The music a MF bop!!! The fact that it felt like everything they've ever done was leading up to this moment. . Love love that she made the first move . their Lil sway!!!!! Switchin' the positions for you, The tissue dispenser , Stroke king ! I simply just think we should have saw them together more often literally they're so sexy pls!! the writers fumbled the bag .... And don't even get me started on the vet smash. An ICONIC episode... Anyways

anon omfg "Switchin' the positions for you, The tissue dispenser, Stroke king!" made me snort laughing 😂

I can split my life in to March 23rd 2019 BPYP (Before Pick Your Poison) and March 24th 2019 APYP because shit CHANGED when they aired that episode.

[tiffgeorgina]

do you have any favourites parts of season 2? (I agree that the plot has been.... Thin? Non-existent?) But what are the things about this season that you've enjoyed?

hello anon! a few things i’ve enjoyed are:

-the new guest stars. watkins, hill, and raphael are knocking it out of the park. we waited longer than i wanted to to see june and dulé but hey, at least they’re here now! im already kinda attached to their characters and im pretty sure all of them are gonna get fucked over so im scared fjgkjhfdg

-just seeing all these mf characters again. ive missed them so much kjhgkdfjh i could watch them watch paint dry and i’d be okay with that bc i just MISSED THEM

-CONNIE. RESURGENCE. OMFG. i saw xosha roquemore (the actress who plays her) credited for 2x05 a couple weeks back and i FREAKED. OUT. god why do i love this narc. acab except for connie because i like her and she’s pretty (seeing her in full color and 80s style was a REVELATION)

-mo coming back ugh i missed him at the jammer group. seeing him complacent and beaten down HURT. im ready to see him fuck blair up i love blair but he’s walking away in handcuffs this season if mo has anything to say about it

-blair/harris. ok they’re cute i said it (plus they’re easily getting the most screentime out of all the couples this season which is nice bc their relationship is so much less established than the others)

-mo/dawn flashbacks mo/dawn flashbacks mo/dawn flashbacks mo/dawn flashbacks mo/dawn flashbacks!!! i knew we would be seeing their backstory but i didn’t expect it to be the first thing we saw all season!!! i love mo/dawn and i love getting backstory since i was waiting to know more about their past for so long and!! it’s here!! now we know everybody at the jammer group used to work for leighman and that’s why they hate them and we know mo and dawn go back a decade and!! it’s just so satisfying to KNOW i love to see it

-the entirety of Fore! (2x04) yassir. fucking. killed. that. shit. he was the sole writing credit for that episode, and when i saw that on the imdb page i simply knew it would be god tier. and it was! admittedly a little plotless, but that’s par for the course this season, plus it was early enough in the season to get away with it i think. the twist at the end. corky’s entrance. blair/harris. blair being an idiot. blair being a high idiot. yassir x being the king of feminism. yassir lester writing andrew’s emmy reel like that. we haven’t seen season 2B yet but 2A peaked with fore!. period. try to disagree with me. you can’t.

-ofc the 80s aesthetic that we all know and love. i saw somebody describe black monday as a period piece once and it seemed kind of ill-fitting bc it’s not set in victorian era england but yk what? it’s totally fitting. this is a period piece. the 80s slap.

-blair being the villain that we know he is. i wish they would quit stalling on this because it’s making all the characters seem monotonous and non-distinct, but i like those moments where blair snaps (“WE ARE DOING THIS” and “i am the only family you need now. just me”) andrew’s such an excellent actor and it’s fun to see this side of his range since he’s usually played really nice and wholesome (or at least not downright villainous) characters. he’s sending chills down my spine with some of the shit he’s doing and saying this season. andrew. emmy. nomination. now. GIVE IT TO ME NOW.

-momentary mo&blair resurgence (even if it’s fake). i miss mo&blair as father-son so fucking much anon you don’t even know. finding out that they were the ones clicking their heels in 2x06? i could’ve CRIED

-being right. ok this has a bit of lore but i have been STALKING the imdb page for black monday for MONTHS. bc they’ll add episode titles, or screencaps, or cast members all the time without telling anybody, and everything’s been accurate so far (so it’s not some troll lying on imdb we know that lol). specifically, in 2x09, there’s a character credited as dr. gabe egon. the tl already had suspicions that he had smth to do with conversion therapy bc there’s this one picture that sho released where you can see all this shit mo’s written on this board, and it DEFINITELY SAID CONVERSION THERAPY. and this episode comes around and roger is walking out this door that says “dr. gabe egon ~ therapy for the religiously erect” or whatever and i was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then roger blurts out that it’s literally CT and i !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this shit is in different areas for better or for worse and even if im confused and bored at the same time being pulled along for the ride is fun as hell

-the naming scheme for the episodes. i literally had no idea what they would do for the episode titles this season since there’s no countdown to black monday, but i like how it’s shit that the characters say/write. bc then a character says the episode name and you’re like !!!!!!!!!!! jfhgdfjk. plus it kinda tells you what’s going on--i knew 2x06 would be about a ponzi scheme before blair even proposed the idea in 2x05 bc the ep is titled Arthur Ponzarelli. and i knew fore! would be the episode where blair and the harrises are golfing and blair gets hit by a golf cart since “fore” is a golf term. and i know that 2x07, “who are you supposed to be?” is the weird halloween party ep where everybody looks ridiculous and ppl are def gonna be getting into it. 2x10 is titled “i don’t like mondays” and idk what that means but i bet mo says that line in the show. and 2x09 is titled “at that time” and im so scared bc that episode has a blair flashback and WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHAT DOES IT ALL MEANNNN

-more women and more women being relevant to the plot. good. it was getting a little obnoxiously man-influenced here. cmon the majority of the cast AND the majority of the directors AND the majority of the producers AND a majority of the writers AND both the creators can’t ALL be men. like pick a struggle.

whew that list was longer than i expected it to be! thanks for the ask anon! what are y’all’s favorite parts so far?

[zalrb]

What did you think about the S and K scene in 2x04 (the flashback)? I truly believed she loved Stefan and never stopped loving him. That’s why when she returns, everything is always about who? Stefan. It’s always gonna Stefan? I always thought after she took elenas body, she had her vampism back and she could have left MF but she stayed, for who? Again, Stefan.

[misskathgifs]

In 2x04, Katherine accused Stefan of coming back to Mystic Falls to fall in love with her all over again. Do you think it's true?

not really, i mean Stefan specifically said that every few years he would come back to MF to visit Zach Salvatore, to visit his home. But he did stay in town because of Elena, he was very confused because she looked exactly like Kat, and i mean who wouldn’t be, and thanks to that he spent some months analizing her. I believe that for the first few months after Elena’s first car accident (the one in which her parents died) he stayed in town because he thought she was Katherine, but along the way he realized that Elena was completely different from Kat and he kind of started to care for her, so i think that he actually stayed in MF for Elena in the end.

[stefan-always-in-my-heart]

I remember KWv& JP in season 1 not wanting show Elena to be like book Elena.. Because book Elena is more Katherine like & to make DE work thats who she became. Only difference Kat loved and slept w S & D had the same time... Elena didnt ..

Well, the main problem of this show is Elena. I mean writers and actors always says that Elena is pure, innocent girl and two vampires came into MF and destroyed her human world. In books Elena is spoiled, selfish girl who always gets what she wants and doesn’t care about consequence. As writers says they wanted make Elena more compassion and “good” so viewers would love her from the first episode. So in the beginning of TVD Elena represented as good girl with high moral, fiercely loyal and selfness friend. But when Elena died and became a vampire she completely changed. She became a poor version of Katherine and more like book!Elena. Its funny that one reason that DE happen is Elena’s death and sirebond. I never believed in DE bc of Damon’s obsession over Katherine. He spent 145 years loving this woman. And in 2x01 he wanted to forgive her for everything he’s been through when she was gone if Katherine would say she loved him all this time. We saw that she didn’t and what Damon’s done? He went straight to Elena bc he didn’t get Katherine. And when Elena rejected him - Damon killed Jeremy. Not because Damon magically fall in love with E for one second and forgot his love for Katherine. He did that because he was rejected by the girl who 100% copy of woman he loved for 145 years. Elena was the replacement bc Damon always wanted Katherine. In 2x04( I don’t remember correctly, but this episode about E&D&Alaric went to some university and found The Petrova book) Elena manipulated Damon and he says that she’s more like Katherine than just look. In 2x08 D says E that he loves her. I mean how long it where since 2x01 or 2x04? Maybe month? Or 2 weeks? And he just forgot his obsession over Katherine if he thinks that Elena has a lot in common with Katherine than look? Yeah, I don’t believe that. Or 3x05(3x04) Katherine in Elena clothes and Damon didn’t find that out(but writers telling us that D loved E back then). Or when Elena without humanity acted like Katherine? He liked that Elena, they spent time in bar, they kissing and Elena fooling him(like Katherine did before). Or my favorite - Katherine in Elena’s body. How you can’t find out that it’s not the girl you fall in love with? They spent whole summer together, started dating almost 6 month ago and still you don’t know her? It’s a bullshit. “You should’ve been the one who notice that I’m Katherine, that Katherine was in my body.” He didn’t notice maybe bc he doesn’t know the difference? I always thought that Damon fall in love with his “illusion” of Elena. For real DE doesn’t know each other. When E needs someone to talk she went to Stefan, when D needs someone - he went straight to Bonnie.

What are some of your fav Good Girl music moments?!? For me its the vet smash scene in s2. Dean being upset means everything to me also!!!! Also Rio in this scene ... So chaotic and having the time of his life. love that for him honestly . plus that song is a MF Bop and just matched the scene perfectly.

Oooo amazingggg question!

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree about the 2x04 closing scene! It all just works for the scene. The menacing pulsing beat of Switch Screens playing. The tone. Rio being chaotic. The charge between Beth and Rio. The messy crash-zoom in to Rio smiling and saying now let's go make some money as the crescendo of the song goes apeshit?!?! Fucking iconiccccc and my favourite ending to an episode. It literally makes me want to like jump about it makes me so crazy!

Other stand-outs would be Wild Heart for the S1 Finale. That haunting, almost witchy piano playing as the build to the Rio reveal? UGH! Also it's so fuckin sexy playing over that whole scene. It completely elevates the tone and drama and yes perfection. Every time I listen to it I feel literally possessed.

Then Angel by Massive Attack as a blend with that scene in the 2x01 opener with its pops and clicks and dangerous beat and the beat dropping when Rio shoots Dean as love you love you love you echoes in the lyrics? Yassssss

Other music highlights:

- Danger by Anjulie over the 1x01 montage

- Gravedigger by MXMS over the Eddie scene in 1x04

- I Feel Like I'm Drowning by Two Feet over Rio being slutty in his car/walking to Turner in 1x10 (such a fuckin sexy song)

- Written in the Water by Gin Wigmore over Beth leaving the pearls in 1x03

- Work by Charlotte Day Wilson over Ruby in 2x02

- Shake Baby Shake by Lisa Caruso over I’m gonna teach you scene in 2x02

- Love and War by Fleurie over the 2x13 finale. (I can't really listen to it cause it gives me anxiety lol but it was an amazing choice for Brio)

- All out of Catastrophes by Marissa Nadler in the 2x10 raid

- Daydreaming by Dark Dark Dark. I'm blanking on the episode right now but it's incredible. The refrain of oh if you knew what it meant to me and oh the unspeakable things is just dark and sexy and longing and still soft in a way GG, specifically S1 & 2, did so fuckin well.

- Whole Life by Perfume Genius over 4x06 Brio. I can't even talk about it it kills me so much.

-Floor Seats by A$AP Ferg being played by Rio and over the scene in 4x13. It's just. So Rio. So sexy. I'm insane over it.

Anyway! That was a ramble there are so many more!. I will link my Good Girls Playlist which is just the good songs/bangers aka no filler or score just the songs you would notice and it's flamessss if i do say so myself

1. Beth/Rio - Good Girls

Absolute shocker!

I actually owe it all to @hopelikethesun who I've been following for such a long time. When S2 started she was the only person I followed posting about it. I saw a few gifs and thought 'eh, he's not that hot' LOL and then a 2x04 gifset popped up and I went ummm excuse you? Then I felt the 'I want to watch this' urge. Thought it would be casual. It was not. This ship is flames and controls my life.

2. Karen & Frank - Daredevil S2/The Punisher

I deadass can't with Kastle. Seeing this violent angry but loving man fall apart about his soft badass fave lady constantly? Him tearing down an entire building to keep her safe? That's love mf. Absolutely beautifuly acted by Jon & Deb. I'm still gutted about Marvel stopping their shows. They were holding off till S3 to make these two fuck. But they still made it canon that they love eachother so I was thrilled. But I deserved my kiss. The almost kiss in the Elevator before forehead touching will always be iconic.

3. Carol & Daryl - The Walking Dead

When I say I used to think it wasn't possible I could ship anything more than these two? I mean it. The ship of Dreams.

I watched the show up until S8? Then I couldn't take it anymore. I had waited 8 fuckin years for Caryl and was tired of being baited. As much as I still do love them and check in, tptb are cowards and won't make it romantic explicitly. They'll just keep stringing fans along for views cause they know it's so popular.

And rightfully so. It's the most beautiful relationship. I remember watching S5 thinking 'this is my year! Caryl will be canon!' I fuckin baked Caryl cookies and put quotes on them! I was THAT much of a Caryl saddo! But they are on S10 and it's still not gone further than implication. It makes me so mad.

4. Jaime & Brienne - Game of Thrones

I have a lot of GoT ships, but Braime really is That Bitch™

I had loved them from the books, then NCW and Gwen are just far too perfect for these roles. They are ridiculousy adorable and beautiful and everything good about love. They put so much work in to understanding eachother. Jaime becomes a better man for her. They fight to the death for the other. They are just amazing.

The show absolutely destroyed them in the end, but fuck em, the books won't be ending that way. The show did an amazing job until those last few eps. Forever salty. Braime 4eva.

5. Sawyer & Kate - LOST

MY FIRST SHIP EVER! THE BEST SHOW EVER! This show made me the fangirl I am today. 11 year old Tay was born when this show aired.

If you didn't ship Skate, you were wrong. Jate was the most sauceless garbage ever and I'm still fuckin fuming about it.

It's not like Sawyer and Kate were the main ship for 5/6 of seasons? 🙃

They were fuckin beautiful and broken and had the most insane chemistry. That first kiss? Flamesssssss. Cage sex? Flamesssssss.

My first EVER fanfic was Skate! And I read it on my family computer! And it was filthy! And I minimised it thinking it was gone! It wasn't! My Dad found it! He read it to see what his 12yr old was up to! I've literally never been so embarrassed! 🙃

The day the finale aired I was wearing a SKATE FOR LIFE T-Shirt I had printed. I baked a LOST Cake. I baked cookies and wrote quotes on them. I dressed up as Charlie. I still have a Lost shelf in my bedroom.

This is who I am.

(Plz don't ask me for pictures of these things cause they do exist but I'm so tragic I just keep them to laugh at that lil nerd)

I'm taggin @medievalraven and @sothischickshe cause u gotta have some good ships in your repertoire! 😊

[zalrb]

how is katherine badly written?

Well I said she was a badly written version of a character like Gemma Teller but my problem with Katherine is she doesn't live up to her hype. Julie Plec, Caroline Dries, the characters and the fandom herald her as this badass bitch, this puppet master and manipulator but her schemes for the most part are petty.

The most egregious is the body swap with Elena because she does it and then does nothing but try and get Stefan back. For Stefan's story, that's fucked up and I maintain that Katherine's obsession with Stefan and the ways she's victimized him are diabolical for Stefan's story but on a larger scale, that is entirely anticlimactic.

No, I'll correct myself the most egregious is her being the Queen of Hell because SOMEHOW she manipulated the devil (when she couldn't even manipulate Klaus) and she's STILL only focused on getting Damon and Stefan to turn off their humanity? Those are the stakes with the devil on her leash? Seriously?

In season 4 her feeding Jeremy to Silas is like ok well a) at this point Damon has killed Jeremy because he was mad at Elena and Liz accidentally killed Jeremy trying to shoot Damon so Jeremy dying for a third time isn't new or a cruelty unique to Katherine b) she didn't plan on killing him, she left as Silas started to wake up which is bummy, yes, but not diabolical or puppet master-esque.

And even in seasons 1 to 3. In season 1 we're supposed to find her manipulative and awful mostly because of Damon, they downplay the fact that she compelled Stefan and had him do things he didn't know or want to do, and focus on her relationship with Damon because he's the one who came back to MF for her but Katherine doesn't actually do anything terrible to Damon. She told him she was into both him and Stefan, she told him she was a vampire, she told him that she runs from him because she knows he'll chase her, she promised him nothing, she didn't torpedo his life, she didn't tell him to wait for her forever, the fact that Damon does all these terrible things in pursuit of being with her again actually has nothing to do with her because she didn't ask for it so her not being in the tomb is frankly minor. It's just like sucks you loved a girl who didn't love you the same way, dude but she'd been upfront with you the entire way. She didn't ensnare him with sex, she didn't convince him to give up everything for her, she didn't lie so her being framed that way because of Damon is false. If they emphasized how she fucked with Stefan's head then sure.

In 2x04 this epic music plays because we find out that she's immune to vervain but what exactly is epic about her deception when really all that happened is she tried to convince Stefan he loved her and scared Elena a little bit?

Even the flashback to the church burning, it's not like Katherine was the one who outed other vampires to the council and came up with the plan to burn them, George Lockwood used the vampires to deflect from himself and Katherine just blackmailed him to keep her secret and fake her death, which again is terrible but that's not being a puppet master because she didn't actually create the round up of vampires.

In 2x06 Damon kills Mason so she has Jenna stab herself. OK?

I will give her the 2x07 masquerade, that's probably the most diabolical episode for Katherine, and getting Tyler to turn into a werewolf.

Plus there's the minor things like the fact that I didn't find Katherine particularly charming or seductive, having her in tight-fitting clothes doesn't make her charismatic, she also wasn't particularly threatening or formidable, I never believed that Pearl, Pearl who comes off as a G, would take her cues from Katherine.

So all in all I think Katherine has her moments but I just find her WAY overhyped and prefer Rebekah as a foil to the group.
