McCoy not being able to stand without leaning / holding onto something for an entire episode

The Episode literally starts with him holding onto the captains chair, moving towards Spock- still gripping the chair - and immediatly grabbing the railing

And it just continues from there:

He only stands freely three times in the entire episode (Yes I counted) (The episode in question is S1 E9 Dagger of the Mind)

SANDCASTLE - Weather has not been kind to Lily's little sandcastle. The once mighty towers are quickly eroding away. You can see something shining back to you from what must have once been a vast underground catacomb network. YOU - "Broken..." KIM KITSURAGI - "The little castle?" The lieutenant smiles a little. "The reigning lord must have come upon some really tough times to let it slip in such decrepitude.

Kim silly goose moments... is he trying to cheer up Harry perhaps? Or just being silly about the sandcastle

(Note: yes I did correct the typo for screenreaders)

can we talk about the apology scene between niko and jenny in ep 6 after niko's psycho date? we start out with jenny being emotionally vulnerable that she's sad about what happened and despite it not being niko's fault, niko immediately takes it personally

and the delivery of this line honestly truly captured the essence of being a teenage girl. Like yeah, it's a knee jerk reaction and probably an immature one but it is so incredibly relatable to immediately jump to that conclusion. And then Jenny instantaneously replies that no she doesn't hate her "But even though there's no way you could've known about Maxine, I also don't forgive you. Just not yet, anyway." Which in my opinion is a great response? Like it clarifies that she holds no ill will towards niko but she's also still coming to terms with the emotions of a traumatic event. But Niko is still not convinced and frankly again has an incredibly relatable response

And Jenny immediately says stop that bullshit because ofc she should. But I just found it so emotionally impactful that this scene validated both Niko and Jenny's emotions but managed to call out that Niko's thought pattern wasn't healthy without demonizing her for it? To have a scene between two female characters that acknowledges the ambivalence between them without villainizing either of them was just incredible

And then at the end something about Jenny saying "So if you love love, wanna help people, then do it." (Even if she says don't try to help me, which is honestly a valid boundary) and Niko's tiny smile afterward WAS SO TOUCHING

you know, for a comic that claims to be a "feminist retelling," it is incredible how meaningless and vapid the actual "feminism" tends to be

just using the latest update, where ouranos is verbally trying to tear rhea down and metis just kind of ... does this? and let's be clear, i don't expect metis to break into some kind of longwinded speech, considering the moment, but it doesn't like ... do anything.

is there even any reason to say rhea and metis knew each other? beyond just being fertility goddesses, have they ever actually met? metis reaching for rhea would have a lot more power if we knew of their relationship prior; because we don't know if there was one (and there very likely wasn't, rhea mentions metis to zeus while she's dying in his arms and tells him to use metis like ouranos used her) the casual aspect of this interaction falls flat on its face.

it's great to have girl boss moments and "fuck yeah" scenes, and those can be great as a feminist aspect, but feminism and women solidarity is more than that. it's something rachel has tried to do numerous times but can never actually stick the landing on. the concept of all the fertility goddesses working together could be empowering, but thus far, we haven't seen them connecting - they're just posing in their met gala reject dresses, framed in such a way that we see their breasts over and over. wouldn't this moment have been better if metis and the other fertility goddesses had put their hands on rhea's shoulders, or shown that they were together beyond ouranos? there wouldn't even need to be text; showing the three of them surrounding her, showing her love that she couldn't find with kronos, showing her that she wasn't alone.

if rachel wanted to prove that rhea was too badass to be affected by ouranos, then metis reaching for her just serves as pointless space filler. there's no point to her repeating "no, no, no" because it defeats the whole purpose of rhea being strong. it makes it seem like rhea is as fragile and timid as ouranos is trying to claim. again, we don't even know if metis and rhea know each other, and we have to remember that in previous chapters, rhea is the one who told zeus to consume her, and that metis slept with zeus when he was very much underage. we don't exactly have positive links between the two, so having metis act as some kind of comfort just feels. obligatory. like, throw in some surface level girl comfort.

visuals can be so powerful, and just seeing all the fertility goddesses rallying together facing ouranos, rather than separately posing, could have been so phenomenal. isn't that the whole point of this narrative? isn't the whole point that love goes both ways, that strength comes from connection and love (not just romantic, but maternal, friendship, allyship?)

unrelated, i don't think it's a coincidence that both persephone and rhea have been bashed by their father-in-laws in The Big Showdown, or that the bashing follows the same line of taunting. both have been called useless and weak, and it just seems to drive the point home that rhea and persephone are more or less twins. this is the most persephone-looking rhea has ever appeared, which is gross for a lot of reasons, but i digress.

showing, not telling, goes a long way, and it would be nice if we could see the actions of women supporting each other, rather than being told it's happening.

HSR spoiler talk ahead

.

I think this is a popular theory, where we are in a timeloop dream in Penacony, and upon a re-watch im starting to think it's true.

Some moments that stand out to me are when we first arrive in Penacony and meet Acheron, where she seems to recognize us. We also have a series of images flash on screen that might be what we've experienced before. That being said, I don't think the Acheron we interact with throughout the story is anymore aware of a loop than we are, this moment felt like a slice out of time.

Another moment is when we're tracing Firefly's footsteps and in the tv room, she says she wants to try again. I wouldn't have given it much thought had Acheron not drawn more attention to it. She also seemed more attached to us than what a day would allow but thats my own view.

What really kinda sealed it for me was when we met Aventurine at the end. When we were walking down the hallway, he said it was a familiar hallway to a familiar room and says he remembers the little game we played. The way it's phrased makes it seem like he's just talking about our meeting at the beginning of the game when he gives us his room but he says "I finally remember". I think that memory he was referring to was that but now it seems so far away since he did indeed remember everything. To us, we met him a day ago. Maybe with his memories back, it's been much longer.

There are other things that I'm absolutely missing but these were three key moments for me. There's just some little stuff that seems to allude to reversing time, such as clockie and the clockwork powers. And there's definitely something going on with Misha, and I bet we've had a closer relationship with Robin at some point.

Whether it's the Watchkeeper's legacy or the family or how anything is possible in a dream or hell if there's another memokeeper around who's less benevolent and is messing with everyone's memories, I don't think this is our first run.

And a fun similarity: Acheron sometimes speaks with red text, something that happens in umineko no naku koro ni which happens to be a time loop of sorts, or rather a retelling of what story was actually told. When a certain character speaks in red text, it means that what she's saying is the truth.

I'm very curious to see what the red text means for Acheron. She says we will see the world in black and white, but sometimes red will appear when there's a choice being made.

So maybe the red text she speaks is a choice being made - but there's no other choices. Like when you refuse for her to join you and Black Swan, she asks for you to repeat your answer until there is only one option left - also in red. This would also call back to what Aventurine told us when at the beginning of the game and what he repeated at the end:

Allow me to make you an offer - one you can't refuse. No reason to choose otherwise...

If it's a time loop, maybe the red text she speaks are things that will absolutely happen in every loop?

Anyway this isn't any actual theory crafting, I'm more just typing out my train of thought. I've seen other theories too - especially about Acheron and Firefly - and I'm really curious to see where this is gonna go

Zoom, Booze, no Doom

Good Morning friends,

another week has gone by, I managed to put a Shark on a plane, and it's about time to finally announce the Zoom.

Let's Zoom together and meet at our usual time:

UK 8pm

Germany 9pm

Wisconsin 2pm

We'll be staying with Waking the Dead, this time "Mask of Sanity" with Jemma Redgrave as Sophie Wall.

Given that I've not seen this before, I can't give accurate trigger warnings, but I've been told that tw: child abuse might be a thing.

We're also going to have our weekly Catherine shenanigans review at the end of the Zoom.

I'll post the link as usual shortly before we start and I'm looking forward to seeing you all. 😊
