You asked me to teach you chess, and I've done that. It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. Do you know why not?
Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little and everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings and pawns.
I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. I don't envy you the decisions you're going to have to make. And one day I'll be gone, and you'll have no one to talk to. But if you remember nothing else, please remember this:
Chess is just a game. Real people aren't pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice.
The lesson is: Anyone who looks on the world as if it were a game of chess deserves to lose.

#person of interest#harold finch#michael emerson#if then else#remains on the shortlist for 'best episode of television i've ever seen'#i posted this monologue once years ago but the formatting on old tumblr quote posts gets super mangled so let's see if this is any better#as a bonus now it can come with a clip of emerson's actual performance#the whole ep being framed by flashbacks of him teaching his machine chess and then this one laying it all out... destroys me. every time.

honestly, the people bitching about an objectively insane episode of wwdits are SO BORING. it's just a silly little comedy about some idiot vampires that live together and commit atrocities in new york. like what is so difficult to comprehend about that.
of course lazslo would create horrifying animal lab experiments that can talk that guillermo has to take care of.
of course nandor and colin are besties.
of course nadja makes 50 dunkin runs for a crazy lady.
it's just a weird show that is outrageous and funny and sometimes carries an emotional wallop. it's not fucking rocket science.
#wwdits#wwdits s5#wwdits spoilers#what we do in the shadows#i just#was it the best episode of television i've ever seen? no.#was it the worst? no fucking way.#it was just ... INSANE#absolutely batshit crazy#and sometimes that's fine#stop assuming everything has to be ~prestige television~ or it's bad#like that is a TERRIBLE way to consume media#anyway it was weird and silly and colin and nandor having a besties moment just HIT SO HARD#and like y'all are so pressed about these frankenstein creations that you're forgetting NEW NANDOR LORE DROPPED#LIKE WHY ARE HIS CLOTHES AND DIARY AND HIS MOM'S NECKLACE IN A FUCKING MUSEUM#HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO#PAY ATTENTION LOSERS#edit: HAHAHA OHMYGOD WHY DID I SAY NEW JERSEY#sorry i didn't realize i even typed that

I watched 2x05 of Interview with the vampire again and holy fuck. It hit so hard. When Armand sat in front of Daniel, told him to rest, told him how his future would be... I started crying so hard and I don't even know why. Beautiful but heartbreaking scene. Wonderfully acted. I'm very much in love.
#Armands little speech deeply resonated with me i guess. holy... still can't stop thinking about it. about the whole episode.#one of the best episodes of television i've ever seen.#interview with the vampire#armand iwtv#daniel molloy#iwtv

paranoia agent is a very good show and mellow maromi is maybe the craziest episode of television of all time. it's a horror comedy about an animation crew scrambling to make the deadline of the pilot of a cutesy kids cartoon but the production is so chaotic they don't notice that a serial killer is killing them one by one. of course in a very darkly ironic fashion it is revealed that the moral of the cartoon is to not overwork yourself and rest from time to time :3 and this episode is not at all necessary to the rest of paranoia agent so you know it's just satoshi kon's cry from the heart. and then the craziest thing is that in real life satoshi kon died at 49.
#i know he died of cancer#but the trend of japanese artist dying at a young age must be taken as the systemic issue it is#anyway it's one of the best episode of television and you should watch it#it's also very funny#paranoia agent#satoshi kon

eddie begins and buck begins together are sooooooooo 😖 😖 😖 😖 like what if you were a deeply unloved child who can only see yourself through the lens of how unwanted you are and you don't know why but you know that it's real and the only person who loves you in the entire world leaves you alone and the people that are supposed to love you no matter what look right through you and your sister gives you her car but you don't want her car you want her to come with you so you can protect each other like it's supposed to be but she doesn't so you leave and wander the world and you're so so lost but you're determined to BE something and eventually you find it. and you find a family but still something is missing. and then. and then. a man shows up and becomes a part of your family and you become a part of HIS family and then a well collapses on him and you are so important to him that he uses the image of you and his kid that you love to claw himself out and you were once unloved and unwanted and everybody that was supposed to love you either looked through you or left you but now you have somebody who loves you enough to claw his way back to you as you try to dig him out by hand.
#RAHHHHHHHHH 👹 👹 👹 👹 👹#i rewatched buck begins last night and. dare i say. best episode of television ever ?#and this isn't even getting into the maddie and buck of it all but if i speak about that i'll kms so.#buddie#evan buckley#eddie diaz#starting a new sideblog and still having to use tags is so tough........

Despite this being the Steven universe discourse website for most of a decade I'm still kind of surprised whenever a cartoon just has gay people in it for anything that's not a Very Special Episode.
#my adventures with superman#television#end of the episode getting dangerously corny and sincere/'oh right this is a cartoon for children' for my tolerance#but still hey cool the woman with the best character design is gay

The Hollywood Reporter critics name “Napkins” directed by Ayo Edebiri as one of the 10 best TV episodes of 2024, while still making a dig about whatever The Bear is. When will they stop and just praise the series and leave it at that?

someday soon I’m going going to inflict my intense feelings about the first twelve episodes of Goodbye My Princess (the director’s cut) on you all. A preview: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRIAKCBRGFBWHALL,th e pain the pain th e
#this show is phenomenal#goodbye my Princess#I came for the Chen Xingxu and the visuals and the tragedy#it’s been an A+++++++++ on all counts#anyway it might be the best cdrama I’ve seen to date#admittedly I haven’t seen many#and also#I’ve got forty episodes to go on this one#but those twelve first episodes were like. astonishingly good#last time I rode a stretch of TV that solid with such an amazing culmination of everything the show had been building up to#was the legendarily brilliant second half of season two of Avatar: The Last Airbender#which remains my gold standard for television writing and directing
