Me enjoying a rewatch of a Red Dwarf episode, having a good time: 🙂

My traitorous brain: Hey, this scene takes place away from Red Dwarf and Starbug, Lister probably doesn't remember it after M-Corp

Me: 😧

Now that the psychic damage over Paisley's redemption has worn off, here are some hopes/episode ideas I have in regards to the future of her character arc on the show. Assuming that she isn't written off the series (which would be nothing short of a giant middle finger to her voice actress and the fans who waited 3 years for the character to return).

An episode that gives us closure for Rex. Whether or not he'll redeem himself alongside Paisley. I frankly do hope he does because like Paisley, he has had so few appearances in the show. Paisley getting redeemed after only 6 episodes of being a villain is one thing, but it'd be VERY hard to accept Rex becoming a main antagonist after serving as an underling [maybe they could make it work but that feels like a stretch] Plus they have the healthiest relationship among all of the villains on the show, so I don't like the idea that these two would wind up fighting each other in the future.

An episode akin to "Adapto the Coyote" where Paisley has her own subplot learning about the animals around her through misadventures. Maybe she's trying to build an eco-friendly environment but the animals keep getting in her way, so she tries to find an ethical loophole only to find out that the animals are the key.

On that note, I think Pave Nature Incorporated being kept in business but having their goals change would be an easy loophole. Construction, but in ways that leave animals and their habitats out of harm's way, or better yet, put them under protection. It would be a natural change for the character without doing a complete 180 of everything established with them [which can ruin a good redemption/development story]

Post-redemption Paisley meeting and facing off against the other villains. Again, this is something that the special kinda left on a thread that I think would be interesting to follow up on. Despite having minimal appearances in the show, Paisley and Rex have established themselves to be allies to Zach, Donita, and Gourmand. So this would be a game-changer to hear that she's with the Wild Kratts. Would the villains attempt to go after her? Would they try to use her to get to the Kratts? Zach's a specialized hacker, maybe he could intercept Paisley's tech to use it against her and make her look bad in front of the crew. Really interesting shit there!

And while we're still on that, a 1v1 interaction between Paisley and Donita. Paisley's been on the show for 8 years and a member of the villain team for 6 years and the 2 female villains on said team [as far as I recall] rarely exchange that much dialogue. It's already enough that we didn't have them team-up, but them being on opposing sides opens other opportunities. They could face off or be mirrors to each other, one could try and convince the other to join their side with no avail.

Her interacting with the other Wild Kratts Kids. As far as I'm aware, she's the only villain not to, which, whilst a testament to how badly unterutilized she is, could be interesting. Do the WK kids know about her if they've never reported her? Are they as easily willing to buy her overhaul as the rest of the crew is? Are the kids and Paisley willing to learn from each other voer their stance about nature? Interesting stuff!

I'm probably aiming too high when it comes to expectations but they backed themselves into a corner here with no way out, I'd really love to see how they handle this.

one thing I have noticed in the last few years of discourse about star wars canon is the attitude from some parts of fandom, where when people go "hey, I don't like this problematic aspect of canon/I don't like that this canon significantly contradicts the other", others will respond, stating that star wars is a tapestry of stories, and that it's fine, actually, because you can just take the parts you want and/or to just cobble one's own canon together from whatever.

this isn't bad advice per se, and if that's someone's preferred way of interpreting canon or dealing with discrepancies, I'm genuinely happy they reached that solution (hell, I even do it myself sometimes—rey mind-tricking finn and poe in the tros novelization is something I absolutely choose to ignore on account of it being ooc and not in the movie), but the majority of the time, I like treating canon as a puzzle that I can put together, and when some of the pieces simply can't fit right, or if there's blatant disrespect to the other stories in the tapestry (hi, caleb in tbb), I don't think it's wrong to be pissed at that and expect the corporate entity managing the product to do better.

Whilst the return of Doctor Who in 2005 brought lots of good things, including, for sure, the return of Doctor Who, I think it did untold damage to Big Finish audio stories

There's something tragic to me about the way sam (in the first few seasons) was this defiant courageous boy who took the risks, who rebelled against everyone and saw his ideals through to the end, fearless and unrestrained even when the whole world was against him, including heaven and hell. And how in the latter seasons he's different, he's still a hero, but he is weak. His goals and aspirations are not the hanker he rests on. There's something else that punctuates this whole formidable fortitude and makes itself a pillar his entire being rests on instead, and it's Dean.

Sam went from occasionally thinking it's a pain how Dean centers his life around him and protects him to actively seek exactly that from Dean, to be relieved his death is Dean's worst nightmare, to going in circles and turn on his principles moved by his feelings (e.g his whole thing with Benny which is inconsistent with how Sam always argues against harming monsters if they kept themselves in check. But with Benny, he blindly wanted to kill him out of jealousy re:dean).

How Sam is notorious for thinking logically and rationally, but the moment Dean is concerned, he loses all sense of reason. His righteous and noble traits being shoved to the side when he goes from being the one to stop the apocalypse (though him breaking the last seal and stopping lucifer were ultimately both for Dean) to unleashing an evil so much worse on the world it could destroy it just to save Dean. Not mentioning the morally fucked up things he does to others in the process.

Up till season 7 or sth, he was relatively still not as unhinged as he is now. But the worst part of it all is the emotional blight he suffers, Dean not approving of him is enough to shake his entire core, not being Dean's priority gets him all yards ugly and petty, he gets mad with jealousy. Disappointing Dean is enough to trigger a desire to die within him. He's the hero and driving axis of this story. He rebels against God, tarnishes fate's axioms, and he lets himself grovel under the guillotine Dean holds over him, completely in Dean's mercy.

When Sam is with Dean, and he says things like 'for me?' Or 'even me?' Like it has been craved into him he's the one exception to every word Dean says and you can't imagine but you know how it could fundmentally break him if the answer was no.

Not even mentioning how Dean inevitably takes even the place of faith/God in Sam's eyes and the whole religious devotion thing of it.

Sam is a character who not only defied the destiny that has been set for him to rule hell before he was even born. He defied lucifer, heaven, God himself, and his plans for him. He's the one character that escaped the all-looming narrative that from episode one promised him doom. But he was ready to toss it all away, to lay his life in Dean's hands, to make him the one who decides whether Sam lives or dies. It's absolutely terrifying and beautiful.

The emotional turmoil Dean invokes in Sam, how he drags Sam from this all-powerful valiant hero to a mortal that gets swayed by emotions, especially someone Else's when Sam's whole arc at the beginning was about him reaching the true freedom, away from outsider influence. The way Sam's story changes from him being deprived of choice to him fighting to get that narrative autonomy back only to lay it in Dean's hands this time. Going from unwillingly being a tool for lucifer/God/author to willingly being Dean's property. Dean gets this treatment because Sam saw him as worthy. Sam puts his full trust and faith and hope in him, and he constantly has seen how not a single other soul treasures Sam as Dean does.
