One thing I adore in movies is when a prop or set piece is introduced and it's hilariously obvious that it's going to be used as a murder weapon at some point.
My favorite example of this is the fucking giant spiky wall sculpture in The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.
Hmmmm...what a strangely ominous addition to this scene. I wonder if anything will come of it?
An hour later:
OMG WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?
Dario Argento gives the people what they want.
It's me. I'm "the people."

The term “filler episode” is blatantly misused in fandom spaces and it's really goddamn annoying.
In the book "Manga and Anime Go to Hollywood: The Amazing Rapidly Evolving Relationship Between Hollywood and Japanese Animation, Manga, Television, and Film," by Northrop Davis, Davis explains the that concept of a “filler episode” in animation comes to us from anime adaptations of manga. Anime is frequently produced at a faster rate than manga, which means that anime adaptations of manga often have to come up with their own “filler” stories to slow down the pacing of the main narrative, because the manga isn’t finished yet.
"Filler" does not mean "low-stakes episode that doesn't progress the main plot." Filler does not mean "character moments that you did not like." "Filler" does not mean "anything that isn't breakneck-paced main plot."
It's a specific term and you are misusing it.

the entire point of the blue food was that it was the only way sally could consistently rebel against gabe without getting her or percy punished. sally is not and never was submissive in the books. percy himself says sally has "a rebellious streak, like me." however, sally and percy were under threat of serious abuse from gabe and therefore had to pick their battles. blue food was sally's way of telling percy "i am here and fighting with you" and "there is hope in the world still."
