I love how vindicated Malcolm looks every time he's told to fire weapons. He looks so satisfied. He's a guy who loves his job.

i have to reconcile the fact that quantum leap has a lot of embarrassing situations. i think i'm going to die. how do i get in the mindset that it's funny and not awkward???

also for a guy with an italian name, al is not helping poor sam sing "volare" at all. like this is going badly for them.

i'm watching Bride of Reanimator and Dan and Francesca are kind of cute. I am worried for her!!!

And then it cut-scenes to Herbert, alone, and irritated, in the basement.

WOW Herbert got distracted for half a second and got kicked in the face and choked. Hmmmm...

[ionamalachite]

this man is genuinely so pretty

[ionamalachite]

jeffrey combs is suchhhh an amazing actor, damn

[ionamalachite]

"Daan, we can bring him back to life!"

[ionamalachite]

Herbert got the hospital blanket and covered dan with it???

al: "you know those 6 doctorates you hold? not one of them is in psychiatry"

i hate when herbert laughs. he's done it twice and it's obnoxious every time

[ionamalachite]

OKAY FINISHED

I LOVE that dan and meg left herbert in the morgue, uh, *checks notes* getting strangled to death with a large intestine, because in the final scene, dan was alone, acting by himself when he reanimated meg. the lean, the stare, the soft "i love you" before he does it is what gets me. Whoever the villain was throughout the movie doesn't matter because it sets up the scene for Dan to turn into the villain/protagonist/herbert's helper for the next two movies.

TIME to write fanfiction -- after I'm done watching all the extra scenes and whatnot. stay tuned

Ok!!! Enterprise s4e15 Affliction with Malcolm being interrogated (and put in the brig) by Archer.... wow this is delightful. Rewatching that scene today, I can see that Archer grabs Malcolm and gets really in his space. Like uncomfortably close. I love that Archer is a touchy guy like that. So in character. But also delightfully awful.

"Malcolm, I never would've believed that you, of all people..."

GUYS????

I definitely re-watched all that. I love the Section 31 arc so much! Over the course of the two episodes I like how Malcolm goes from being defiant and belligerent to telling Archer what colony Phlox is on and helping him transfer Trip from Columbia to Enterprise. The change of heart as he realizes where his loyalty lies is wonderful and vindicating to watch. What a great arc!!!

I am watching Stream (2024)!!!!! I can't wait to see evil hot Jeffrey Combs.

'oh i'm sorry little guy, little man, there's no wifi'-- "This inn is about spending quality time with the people that you love because you never know just how limited that time is."

foreshadowing much. i love him. horrible horrible horrible.

[ionamalachite]
