Brilliant Minds 1x08 The Lovesick Widow

[heliomanteia]

I do appreciate how Solas' writing is still heavily tied to the concept of reflection on the player's character and how the final opinion on Solas you end up with relies on what version of the story you believe/how you interpret his words. Ultimately, Solas' character denies being placed within extremes (hero or villain) but seeking the middle ground is purposefully difficult both in DA:I and DA:TV, in my opinion.

Varric was so right about his "clever half-truths" because no I don't think Solas lies in DA:TV. My favorite example is his stance on blood magic — and his ability to sneak between definitive statements.

"I abhor the use of blood magic" sounds like a deliberate lie, especially with further context of the game, but he does abhor it, which does not mean he won't use their tenuous connection to Rook when it's offered. He's not lying, he's just answering to the implication with an emotive stance instead of practical. Someone can hate something and still utilize it, especially when they did not directly force it to occur (for all we know Rook's bleeding was an accidental consequence of a deliberate attack).

Solas is the same way within the base game of DA:I, actually. He says he "does not use blood magic" when approached by Cole with a request to bind him but he approves of the Inquisitor's open-minded approach to blood magic as a concept in a conversation in Haven. Which are a bit further apart as statements than his actions vs. words in DA:TV but they're still not cancelling each other out.

He's made of "contradictions" that are actually just nuanced approaches to aspects of a bigger topic: "blood magic is interesting and those who blindly deny its intriguing nature (as a topic) betray their close-minded approach to the unknown and the taboo (disapproves) whereas those who are eager about learning its theoretical boundaries are a delight as it shows their curious spirit (approves); however, do not assume the use of it of me (for it comes with moral judgement and assumption of my nature) or that bestowing it upon another is an approach chosen by me on purpose (but using it if offered, with no other choice in sight, is, while abhorrent, not something to deny)".

I have to say Teddy looks really good in green and Zach looks good in blue. Like their outfits in those stills with the patient really compliment their eyes and hair in a very pleasing way. Outfit department really knew what they were doing!! 😌👏

AND THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER, LIKE ITS SIMILAR IN A WAY. THE SHADES COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER!!!

This ep is a win for me Blood Solar real

[starheirxero]

ACTUALLY, TODAY’S EPISODE HAS KINDA MADE ME REALIZE A LOT.

Mainly the dynamic that the “bad guys group” had, yk? Like. KC and Bloodmoon and Eclipse (and Solar Flare). None of them really wanted to be around each other, huh?

It was less “the kill code family” and more “the outcasts that no one else wanted to be around.” It wasn’t a group like in UTMV where each member of the gang all bounced off each other in fun ways and truly cared for each other’s well being despite their status as “evil” or “villainous”. They were always toeing a line with each other.

They were always seeking each other out for a want or need rather than just because they could. KC took Bloodmoon under his wing out of pity, Bloodmoon stayed with KC because they could hunt together, and Eclipse only tolerated both of them because they were useful to have on his side rather than working against him.

None of them loved each other, especially not in a familial way. They just all had a mutual enemy who outcasted them and they were all useful to each other in some way. They were all just lonely and bored and bitter enough to be a “family.”

blue lock spoilers!!

specifically for ep nagi! ^^

i dunno if anyone has said this yet (i havent really checked), but I genuinely think something will happen to chigiri's knee again

like in chapter 27 of episode nagi, it makes a weird little cracking noise for a brief second, and chigiri looks a little thrown off by it, but ultimately decides it's fine

right after, nagi is reasonably concerned, but chigiri brushes it off, responding with this:

not to mention nagi's:

"you'll break" ????? that HAS to mean something.

like I feel like it's important to remember that episode nagi is fully canon to the original blue lock manga, so adding small details like this DOES impact the main story too. I'm aware that he plays with no problem during the u20 and previous nel matches, but manshine still has one left to go.

from what chigiri said, I think what may happen during that match is that nagi (and reo I guess) will make their epic comeback, like they're been planning, but during the match, something will happen to chigirI.

he says his leg OR nagi's dream, which leads me to believe we're either getting one OR the other in the manga, we can't have both.

and with most pieces of media, when something like this is introduced so early on as a previous problem that had a quick resolution, it's almost SURE to be brought back up again. call it chekhovs gun or whatever, but I think this is either gonna be insane foreshadowing or the biggest red herring ever 😭🙏

(anyways, it's either gonna be him or Yukimiya. they both clearly have something with the potential to completely ruin their soccer career and disable them for life, and if Kaneshiro doesn't do anything with that then what's the point)

[hikkokoro]

HOORAY A RUIN EPISODE! FNALLY, everything would be answered..

Everything was indeed not answered..

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WAS NOT IN THE ROOM???

WAS HE KIDNAPPED AGAIN OR IS IT SMTH ELSE?

IS HE STILL EVIL AND FOUND A WAY TO MAKE THE PROGRAM SHOW MOON THAT HES JUST IN THE FAZCADE OR SMTH???

1x11 || The Other Woman

[brilliant-minds]

I’m so iffy on how I feel about Ericka and Jacob. They are very opposites attract like Wolf and Nichols, but I’m not sold on them as a pairing. Maybe if we learn more about Jacob I’d be more interested because at this point in time I know he wants to be a good doctor but struggles with investing in hopeless cases (like John Doe) which in episode 5 made him come off as a jerk. He did have some good moments with giving JD a shave and the rooftop, but the understanding between Ericka and Jacob on the rooftop felt a little rushed. Then they had that final scene at the picnic table that hinted at rival pairing vibes between Ericka x Jacob and Ericka x Van.

[sol-arium126]

you guys I’m pretty sure we’re getting more prosopagnosia mention in the next ep, I kinda felt it was on the back burner for a little bit but I’m so curious to get to know more how it affects Wolf and to see things the way he sees it.

also Josh totally was not going to let Wolf go alone and I love that about him 😭

screenshotted a small clip (thank you @brilliantmindsnbc) I first thought it was Ericka that they were helping, but now looking I don’t think it’s her. Maybe it’s the other girl in the elevator with her?

but what I’m wondering now is if they are in danger from a secondary collapse. It looks like they are pretty deep in the ground. this might be ground for some nice co-working moments as-well as some nice possible angst/kinda sad moments. Makes me wonder if they think they’ll die in there and maybe we’ll get some sort of love confession. Anyway, I’m just saying things I’m having MANY thoughts about this show 🥹👍
