#biting my tongue about things like dramatic structure and the role of the clown in shakespeare and the bucktommy daddy kink joke#it doesn't tonally wreck the episode to have a brief moment of comedy in an otherwise nonstop suckerpunch ep#we have a few moments of levity and then we have one moment of comedy and that's all structurally sound#like we see levity with the mara-at-the-hans reveal and we see it in the grant-nash photo reunion#we have moments of joy throughout the ep#and the bucktommy scene is both setting up the gerrard reveal and thus is structurally integral for the ep#and also provides a moment of not just levity but COMEDY#(and also it's hot as fuck)#but seriously for as long as we have had tragedy we have had moments of comedy to allow the breath#it allows the tragedy to strike it gives ROOM for catharsis and for horror#because it cuts through the onslaught of suffering#and yeah it's a tv episode not a three hour epic play#but still#to imply it tonally detroyed the episode i think is like. just not accurate?#and you're totally allowed to just. not vibe with tommy or bucktommy or daddy kink or whatever#but to see people try and argue that it's bad writing#when it's fitting into the style of writing that defines the western canon?#anyway. this is the last i'm gonna say because i refuse to house negativity on mine own blog so i'm gonna take my honours degree in#Analyzing Storytelling and go
