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.

this man is genuinely so pretty

[ionamalachite]

jeffrey combs is suchhhh an amazing actor, damn

[ionamalachite]

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.

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

[ionamalachite]

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

[ionamalachite]

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

[ionamalachite]

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

the glare of hatred is palpable through the screen

on today's episode of "ionamalachite watches old jeffrey combs films on tubi"...

I'm watching From Beyond 1986!!! I've actually already read the short story by H.P. Lovecraft... Can't wait.

[ionamalachite]

oh my god do you know how stupid sam beckett is

[ionamalachite]

I'm watching TATV!

[ionamalachite]

S1e14 Sleeping Dogs-- I love Hoshi, Malcolm, and T'Pol sitting in the decontamination room together. Enjoying it like a spa. I love that for some reason they have to be in their underwear. Make it make sense writers.

[ionamalachite]

I'm watching s3e10 similitude and here are the highlights:

Archer's looking at newborn baby Trip with Regret™️ and T'Pol is thinking "i fucking told you so"

Phlox is happy to have baby #6 and Archer wants to be an absent father. He's riddled with guilt. And uncomfortableness.

SIM HAS TRIP'S MEMORIES. LOL. NO POTENTIAL FOR THAT TO GO WRONG. NOPE.

The conversation with baby Trip:

"Did you always want to be a starship captain?"

"Always. It's what I was meant to do."

"Sounds like a fun job."

Nope, baby Trip, you're wrong... Archer looks so pained omg.

OH MY GOD hes showing baby Trip how to fly the little drone. Like the opening scene of this whole damn show where Archer's dad showed Archer how to fly a drone. Oh my god. The cinematic parallel. This is some twilight zone shit.

Wow it must be soooo awkward for T'Pol that baby Trip is asking her if she's going to movie night or going to get dinner.

BABY TRIP IS NOW ADULT TRIP.

ADULT TRIP HAS A BIG FAT LOVE FOR T'POL. NOT JUST AN ADOLESCENT CRUSH. OMG GIRL.

Oh my god Archer just implied that he'll kill baby trip for real trip. Oh my god. Omg. Omg. This is so unethical.

T'pol kissed him omg.

And the funeral is over. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Trip whipped out his harmonica again, I guess its not a one-off but an integral part of his character personality
