People who truly dislike Edwina Sharma are wild. Heaven forbid an 18 year old be charmed after being almost relentlessly pursued by an older man. Three married women, including her mother, are for the match. THE QUEEN is for the match. The only person saying he isn't right for her is her sister and like I'm sorry but my sister could swear that a man wasn't that into me and I would not listen if he BOUGHT ME A HORSE!???!!?!!

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo should've been one of the greatest bisexuals we've ever seen on cable television.

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:

that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.

because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.

like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.

this scott 3l rewatch it so so strange. i was right with my original notes, their relationship does not read nearly as scary from the scott pov and im really wondering why this is. My first theory was that it was an editing style thing or a background music thing or maybe the specific scenes that are missing but now that I’m really thinking about it I Dont Know

After "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" (bad episode only saved by the actors' performances), "LaFleur" is a nice change of pace. Good episode. Until the last three scenes. No. Noooooo. No no nooooo.

Like what the actual fuck was in the writers' minds when they decided to parallel the story of Amy, whose husband got killed while they were having a pic-nic, with Sawyer's, who had a less-than-a-month-long thing with Kate that he decided to "desert" because he didn't have anything back "home" for him. Like, this episode as well establishes that Sawyer is actually better off on the island than in the "real" world. It's like a second chance for him, he even manages to get his revenge and life purpose there. Deciding to stay on the island had something to do with Kate for sure, but it wasn't something he did for her.

Let's be real, I love me some Kate and Sawyer because they're super cool together but his relationship with Juliet deserved better, Juliet deserved better and we all know that.

"LaFleur"'s last three scenes are absolutely awful, I stand by my blonde queen in this case, he fucking asked her to stay, they fell in loveeee, he believed in her, she told him "we're already saved", grrrrrrrrrr!

hannibal is really one of the shows where you pick up on something new every time you rewatch

Me at 8 years old, watching Fantaghirò 3 for the first time

[itswhatyougive]

I'm going to go out on a major limb and suggest that Nancy is a way likelier candidate of clocking what was happening between Eddie and Steve than Robin.

It seems like a lot of people assume that because Robin is a lesbian, she had some automatic gaydar for Eddie, but I don't necessarily think so.

Robin looks perplexed or pulls a face when Eddie flirts in front of Steve

In contrast, there are several moments in S4 where Nancy's reaction to a Steddie interaction is subtly captured. She is an aspiring investigative journalist and she is OBSERVANT.

A lingering hand, the close proximity to one another, the sustained eye contact...she sees it!

And lots of people thought that Nancy's smiley comments to Jonathan about Steve growing up a lot at the end of Vol. 2 suggested that she was back to thinking of Steve as a romantic option and I VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE. Their goals are wildly different and she knows that.

Rather, aside from just acknowledging that Steve was maturing and responsible with the kids, I think that was a very subtle allusion to the fact that she had clocked Steve "expanding his horizons" with Eddie in contrast to how he called Jonathan a queer in S1.

// FHSY spoilers

Rewatching the end of FHSY and oh my god the moment where Cassandra goes "well, if you want to follow me, then I want to take care of you" is hitting me right in the religious trauma!! Like, growing up in a neo religious cult, there were so many rules for how to "worship properly" and the overlaying threat of imminent hell for breaking any rule, and even though I'm no longer practicing damn,, hearing it put so simply in such a way is making me actually sit here and reevaluate my life. Holy shit! The hard hitting one liners from Mr. Mulligan have done it again
