#Season 3 episode 7

[clustermuck]

okay, so y'all know I have some issues with this season (esp. part 2), but one of the things I'm just having trouble wrapping my brain around is this scene:

I guess for me, I have a hard time understanding why Pen saying "I love you" this time was such a big deal to Colin (I mean, he takes a step back as if it is the first time he's hearing this from her.)

She already told him she has always loved him in the church - why would her saying this now be such a surprise to him??

I guess, I can understand that her telling him in the church is pre-Colin finding out about her being LW...so perhaps since his discovery he's questioning everything she told him before??? But if that's the case then why would he believe her now?

I'm just having a hard time understanding why this dialogue was needed here - just for a big romantic kiss scene? I could have almost done away with this for a slightly longer conversation about how her being Whistledown doesn't change how she feels about him but how she's now worried her being Whistledown does change his feelings for her irretrievably. We sort of get this when Colin talks to Kanthony, but it still would have been an interesting question hanging in the air for Colin and Pen after a talk between the two of them-especially the night before their wedding. I feel like that would have been a better use of time than a (in my opinion) redundant "I love you" from Penelope and a make out scene that doesn't really do much to forward the plot or their character arcs.

Don't get me wrong, I love a Polin kiss as much as the next guy (and the scene is hot!), but idk...this felt more fanservice-y (almost like they knew they weren't giving us much Polin togetherness in the final few minutes of episode 8 so they threw us a bone here...)

But I'm looking for someone to point out what I'm missing and help me make more sense of this scene! More than happy to hear thoughts, feelings, headcanons, etc! Thanks in advance!

“It seems easy to apologize.

It’s just a couple of words sitting in the back of your throat and you just got to get them out.

But if you don’t let them out fast, those words go deeper and deeper into you, until you can’t find them.

And it’s stuck in your ribs, in your heart, in your lungs.

And every mistake you’ve ever made,and everything you’ve ever done wrong, grabs on to them, and holds on to those words so tight, they ain’t never letting go.”

Thoughts on Episode 7

Spoilers below the cut so read at your own transgression.

Am I the only one disappointed by this episode? It was the best of the season, but I still felt like a lot of subplots leading up to it were just thrown away.

Like I still don't get Paz's son subplot. He didn't act like a scared parent until they got the nest but if that had been my kid after a few days I would be burning the whole planet down to get to my kid. And for Paz to choose to sacrifice himself once again orphaning his foundling... either Paz has NO fatherly instincts or this wasn't thought through.

I also keep side eyeing Bo. It's great she's admitted to some of her failings but she should have let Koska spill the beans about her crimes cause so far it seems like almost everyone is in the dark as to what Bo has done in Clone Wars and Rebels and it's giving me a lot of anxiety. I'm glad people want Bo's redemption but the sins she committed aren't the kind you just... forgive overnight no matter how much you love her as a character.

I do applaud them for writing in her third failed attempt at taking back Mandalore by proving her curse exists for taking back the saber on a technicality. But I'm still unsure of how they didn't know the base was there when they put together a whole fleet for just that reason and Bo's home was destroyed by those same TIE fighters. I don't get why she's shocked.

I might be being overly critical thinking about this, but I just didn't like it as much as I had hoped but it's exactly what I had expected and longed for at the beginning of the season. Still excited for next week, but at this point I feel like I'm tapping out of the show if it continues like this next season.

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

Season 3, Episode 7: Fresh Blood

Oh, this is a match made in Hell

She probably doesn't know much

I think this is the first time they actually called him the Antichrist

This went about how I expected

She has him on speed dial?

Interesting...

Risky move

Why did he say that 😩

Nah, he was fine

That girl is not wearing a bra

I believe her

I wonder what happened

Even more interesting...

Dean. Don't be mean

We already know she's a vamp, stop dragging it out

Poor girl

Oh, Dean...

Dude.

That's all he needs

There he is

Solid punch

Oh good, she ran

Well crap

Seriously? Just start right out with the shooting, I guess

Parkour!

Okay...

Dean.

Low-key forgot about her

He kinda is

I'm listening 👀

Those poor girls

I'm okay with this revenge plot

Okay. They may be 'blood-thirsty,' but they're not even remotely close to mindless

'less humanity' interesting word choice

Ooh, that's horrible, I love it

I mean, good for Sam, but also bad for Sam?

Uh, thanks Bela?

Weird

Is... that supposed to be a heartbeat?

Oh, it's the ticking

He won't

Do you feel it now, Gordon?

Foreboding

Uh...

Poor...guy...?

Here we go

Not yet

The "oh crap" moment

Freaky

Do it

Come on, do it!

Wow, okay

That didn't go as well as I'd hoped

Ditch the sim cards

And... why does Sam have to stay behind?

Not the point, Dean

It's his coping mechanism, chill Sam

But not well enough

Sam. He was never "just your brother"

Demon potpourri

Still doesn't explain everything, but alright

Oh, that'll get him

It's like she was a feather

And they didn't see that coming?

Stop being creepy

And you think they didn't?

He turned her

Yikes

Hey, Dean's here!

And now he's useless

Ouch

This is disgusting

Oh, Sam...

Pfft, the "days without incident" sign

You're one to talk, Dean

*le gasp* something's wrong with Baby???

Aw, he's teaching him how to fix the car!

Please, Sam

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Awww stop it now, I am getting a little embarrassed

Marathoned a show with a friend tonight and felt compelled to make this

Hope this clears things up
