I think my simplest overall problem with TUA season 4 (i have multiple) is the fact that it feels like a first draft. there's plotholes, unanswered questions, unnecessary parts and confusing relationships that don't really make sense. but first drafts get edited, season 4 of the umbrella academy clearly was not.

the bare bones of the season are good (the train, the jennifer incident, the timelines leaking into one) but it was missing so many things that shouldve been edited or delved into, like a first draft.

it's honestly such a shame. i, like everyone else, had high hopes for the final season but quite frankly it sucked.

[image id: four screencaps from bbc ghosts, series one, episode three, 'happy death day' when pat tells alison tomorrow is his death day. the first screencap features a subtitle that's been altered to read, 'tomorrow's bbc ghosts final series day.' the following three screencaps show alison initially looking happy, then progressively more sad. the subtitles for these screencaps have been changed to read 'oh! happy...bbc ghosts final series day'. /end id]

Somehow Kitty learns the phrase “ok boomer” and has a delightful time using it on everyone in the house. All the other ghosts get so offended, they ask Alison to intervene. Unfortunately, Kitty says this just proves how boomer-y they are

finished reading "tell me I'm worthless," which was an interesting experience. I think there's something really good for you in your soul to be able to understand the genre conventions you're in and the kinds of structures and language and character that can be explored in these genres. I think about how people tend to -- with fiction about marginalisation and/or about people who are marginalised as a blanket whole, regardless of the story -- operate on a checklist of dos and donts, but mainly donts: don't ever tell us a deadname, don't ever use these "problematic" words to describe them/or have them describe themselves in this way, don't ever describe negative emotions or "problematic" emotions, don't let the characters have harmful traits (either towards themselves or others), don't hurt your characters at all actually, don't make your characters politically uncomfortable or "problematically" complicated in their political outlook and/or journey, don't make your characters be assholes ever, certainly don't traumatise your characters, and under no circumstance do you kill your characters!

which of course, this book does praaaactically every one of these things, thank goodness

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for my brother. Is he here?"

"What makes you think you're welcome to my house after-"

"My mother just died, Craig. I don't give a shit if I'm welcome or not. Is Jonas home?"

"...Yes."

"-Oh."

Honestly, the ending of the last episode was strangely abrupt, especially after the emotion of episode 5, and doesn't really make sense as a final moment, but I'm hearing buzz about there actually being a Christmas special, so I guess that final moment is still to come.

Even so, this felt like the best series in years. I would put it up with series 1 and 2 in terms of quality, and I'm just so happy that this show gets to go out on a high. Roll on the Christmas special!

Alfred Burke strikes a husbandly pose as concerned neighbour Mr. Barnes in The Man Upstairs (1958)

the discourse about this on ask a manager is so funny to me, esp bc honestly “mama” is just sort of a filler word to describe a female person amongst some latin-american people. it doesn’t actually mean mom/mother specifically.
