this. essay. was. AMAZING OP
youtube
Alright everyone, this beast is finally out! This is a project that I’ve been working on for a long time, and a big reason why I’ve been so quiet on this blog. Season 4 really never sat right with me, and after stewing a bit I finally decided to bite the bullet and fully dissect why. A year and change later, I had a three hour essay on my hands, which I guess is something that happens to even the best of us sometimes.
This is a full critical breakdown of every major element of Carmen– what I liked, what I didn’t like, what went wrong, and, most importantly, how it could do better.  I broke it up into about ten different chapters, each focusing on a different character (or plotpoint), so if you don’t have time to watch it in one sitting and/or don’t have superhuman focus, you can certainly watch it in chunks and not lose a whole lot. I don’t expect everyone to agree with every point or position I present, but the most important thing to me in this project was breaking down why I take the positions I do and to deeply examine the underlying ideas and logic of the show; so even if you think differently, you still might get something out of what I have to say. I’ve seen so many people discuss the worse elements of the show (evil Carmen, the mindwiper, the ending, season 3, the copganda, Gray. Oh My God Gray.) but I think what I’ve really wanted to see post-Season 4 was a dissection of the actual mindset and creative process behind the writing. I genuinely can’t tell you how many arguments I’ve watched people have in this fandom where I could see how both sides were reasonably correct about the same thing, they just (IMHO) failed to see the common factor at play. Who knows! Maybe this video will settle some longstanding debates. Anything is possible. I hope people enjoy what I have to say as much as I enjoyed writing it! (TW for discussion of police/state violence, racial police violence, simulated gun violence, death, etc in the section about ACME. Basically what’s already in the show anyway, but just in case, I’m definitely going to talk about that)

QUESTION
We love Carmen Sandiego, but i’m sure we have some parts we aren’t fond of. So tell me, what are the things you guys don’t like about it that you think could be fixed in CS5?

Pride Prompts!
Time for my favorite June tradition! Send me some Pride prompts! Send me a character and I'll write something gay for them! Maybe how they figured out their gender or sexual identity, how they came out to their loved ones, what them attending a Pride parade would entail, or maybe just a sweet date! All June you can send me Prompts!
I'm tagging all my fandoms so feel free to send prompts for any of them!

tfw you belatedly notice the Critical Role social media feeds making Carmen Sandiego jokes
And, I mean, setting aside the whole "Liam was in the Netflix animated series" thing, which is obviously the most relevant connection for them, where my brain goes is straight back to the early '90s and a certain game show on PBS.
Which I might have watched, um, a lot of.
Like...a lot.
(To be fair, there were 295 episodes, and between our two PBS stations it aired at least twice a day, often four -- and, during one summer at the height of its popularity, five times, as late as 11 PM -- so there was a lot of show to watch.)
Anyway, I'm having a really weird flashback right now. And 30+ years on (god help me), it's still hard to read the words "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" without singing them.

Damn it's a shame Liam isn't here for the Carmen Sandiego joke since he voiced Professor Maelstrom in the Netflix show, that would have been so funny to see his reaction 😆
