Thoughts on Jack Ryan as a whole....

So with season 4, Jack Ryan comes to an end. In the end, the show has always struck me as a competent, enjoyable, espionage thriller with likable characters, but fairly by the numbers in terms of execution. There has never been anything that has stuck me as 'wow' about it, but I have always enjoyed it. I think Season 1 was probably still my favorite. I think Season 1 and Season 3 were the best seasons. Season 4 was good, but due to reduced episode count, it felt less fleshed out than previous seasons. I didn't quite completely understand the various intricacies of the criminal organization. Season 2 was the weakest because I think it fell into the tropes of Jack Ryan seeking revenge, and in general the story was the least interesting. I think the show benefited by a likable group of actors in key roles. John Krasinski was consistently strong. He is very innately likable and doesn't come off as a superhero. Wendell Pierce as Jack Greer was excellent throughout. Michael Kelly as Mike November was a standout for me. Betty Gabriel as Elizabeth Wright lent a formidable presence in the last 2 seasons. Michael Pena was a big boost for the show in the final season, as Domingo Chavez. Abbie Cornish had a relatively thankless role as Cathy Mueller but she also leaves a mark and she has good chemistry with John Krasinski and was able to be seamless reintegrated into the show, after being absent for seasons 2 and 3. All in all, I quite liked the show. I am glad it didn't overstretch its welcome, even though I would have enjoyed another season.

WIP excerpt for RaineyDay behind the cut; "Smallville does not approve of Clark Kent’s parenting style". (( chrono || non-chrono ))

Unfortunately, this particular drive he’s apparently going to be spending trying to figure out what the hell Conner did to set off Cathy Mueller bad enough to take it out on him, because sure as hell the kid isn’t going to just tell him, and also because he doesn’t want that coming back on Ma and Pa. If Cathy’s this mad at him when he hasn’t even been in town for a good two months or so, he can’t even imagine how she would’ve reacted to them showing up at the store, given they’re the ones Conner actually lives with. 

It’s–difficult to figure out, unfortunately. Especially because he swears Conner talks to him less and less these days even though if anything Clark actually sees him more. The kid’s still upset over being “stuck” in Smallville or the Titans situation, he supposes, which . . . well, he’s a teenager. Clark hadn’t wanted to interfere in his life like that, but . . . well, it’d been necessary at the time. But if Conner’s acting up about it or taking his frustrations out at school . . . 

Clark doesn’t even know what he’s supposed to do about that, actually. Talk to him about it, he supposes, but that always feels so damn awkward. Conner never really seems to respond well to it or really understand the point he’s making anyway. Especially lately, because every time Clark’s tried to talk to Conner about problem behavior since he moved out here, the kid either sits there like a sullen brick wall or gets his back up and starts snapping at him. It’s just not . . . productive, really. 

Clark doesn’t remember being like that as a kid, when a teacher or coach or just any adult in his life had told him that he was doing something wrong. He’d gotten upset at adults who’d had unreasonable or unfair expectations or just hadn’t known what they were talking about, yes, or ones who’d refused to listen to his side of things, but not ones who’d just been offering basic life advice or correcting a misstep. He’d definitely never made trouble for Ma and Pa because he’d decided to act out around town, cheerleaders or not. And definitely hadn’t done any deliberate property destruction, since obviously that’s still on the table too. 

He just doesn’t understand the kid, sometimes. Or–most of the time, really. He genuinely cannot think of a single kid who’s ever been in his life that was so hard to just talk to, across literally every single age range. Jimmy was only a couple of years older than Conner when he first met him; Dick was half his age. Jason–well, he didn’t know Jason as well, but he was younger than Conner too and the poor kid got himself killed while acting out less than Conner tends to. Tim’s polite to a fault, and Damian . . . well, Damian’s a bit difficult, but you just have to be sure to approach things from his perspective. There’s never been a sidekick or a Titan or any teenage hero in the community that was any worse than a civilian teenager just trying to figure themselves out, but talking to Conner is just . . . 

He just doesn’t understand why Conner always makes it so damn hard to just talk to him. The kid’s more stubborn and less willing to listen and more unpredictable than some supervillains Clark’s known, or at least it feels that way. Even after a good two or three years of knowing each other, Clark never really knows what’s going to set him off, it’s–actually, it’s closer to four years now, isn’t it. 

Well . . . Conner was about fifteen or sixteen when he’d met him in Metropolis; he’d spent a while in Hawaii and the Wild Lands, and then a while with Cadmus, and then a few months back in Metropolis where he’d managed to get the entire apartment building he was living in destroyed, so . . . closer to four, yes. And at least a year of that he wasn’t actually aging for, and essentially none of it he’d spent in school, so when Clark had been getting papers set up for the kid he’d just written him down as “seventeen” and made up some excuse about his previous guardians home-schooling him. The school had given him a few assessment tests and placed him as a junior–which honestly had been better than Clark would’ve expected considering Conner’s patchwork education–and Clark had left all the necessary forged paperwork with Ma and Pa and assumed Conner would know better than to make trouble for them.

Given the amount of times the kid’s played hooky already, probably he should’ve expected a situation like whatever’s got Cathy Mueller in a twist to come up by now, Clark has to admit. 

The drive, in the end, is not particularly good for clearing his head.

The new Jack Ryan trailer leaves me wanting a beautiful reunion scene between Cathy and Jack with running to each other, a forehead touch, and I love you’s at the very end of the season when he’s no longer undercover. Please Amazon prime let them get back together.

Großer Zuspruch für Müllers Abrechnung

Sogar Nina Neuer (26), die Frau unseres Nationalmannschafts-Kapitäns Manuel Neuer (32), reagierte mit einem „Like“ auf die Abrechnung von Thomas Müller (29) ...

Nach seiner gemeinsamen Ausmusterung mit Mats Hummels (30) und Jérôme Boateng (30) durch Bundestrainer Jogi Löw (59) war der Bayern-Stürmer mit einem Selfie-Video in die Offensive gegangen. Er sei „einfach sauer“ und habe „kein Verständnis vor allem für diese suggerierte Endgültigkeit der Entscheidung“. Dem DFB warf er „keinen guten Stil“ und „mangelnde Wertschätzung“ vor.

Auf den drei Plattformen Facebook, Twitter und Instagram löste Müllers Abrechnung weit über eine Million Interaktionen innerhalb weniger Stunden aus (Stand: Mittwoch, 22 Uhr).

▶︎ Facebook: 651 000 Aufrufe, 40 500 Reaktionen, 5500 Kommentare, 4800-mal geteilt

▶︎ Twitter: 182 000 Aufrufe, 10 800  Likes, 1700 Retweets, 1100 Kommentare

▶︎ Instagram: 490 000 Aufrufe, 156 000 Likes, 5100 Kommentare

Auf den „Like“-Button drücken neben Nina Neuer auch Thomas Müllers Ehefrau Lisa Müller (27), Bayern-Teamkollege Javi Martinez (30), Juventus-Star und 2014-Weltmeister Sami Khedira (31), Mario (26) und Ann-Kathrin Götze (29), Mats Hummels und Ehefrau Cathy Hummels (31), Jérôme Boateng, Juve-Profi und Ex-Bayernspieler Douglas Costa (28) sowie Frauen-Nationalstürmerin Alexandra Popp (27).

Das reichte vielen nicht, zusätzlich kommentierten sie das Video auch.

Lisa Müller schreibt: „We'll stay strong together“ (Wir halten zusammen). Tischtennis-Europameister Dimitrij Ovtcharov (30) postet: „Stay strong“ (Bleib stark). Ski-Star Felix Neureuther (34): „Immer schön Statements von Funktionären zu hören, die keine Ahnung vom Sport haben! Weiter kämpfen. Ich drück dir wie immer die Daumen.“ „Streif“-Held Thomas Dreßen (25) schickt zur Unterstützung ein „Applaus“-Emoji. Mario Götze unterlegt seinen Tweet mit drei „Kraftarm“-Emojis und Cathy Hummels schreibt: „100 %“.

WIP excerpt: Smallville does not approve of Clark Kent's parenting style.

Cathy Mueller is mad at Clark. He has no idea why, but she's going to absolutely no effort to hide it. 

"How's your boy, Clark?" she asks frostily as she bags the hardware store purchases he's making for Pa. They're visiting the farm this weekend and Clark's promised to help him with some repairs to the barn. 

"Oh, Jon's fine. He's doing really well in school right now," Clark attempts, trying to smile at her in an attempt to disarm her a bit. Usually she's not quite so . . . touchy. For some reason, though, Cathy only seems to get madder. 

"Do tell," she says in that same frosty tone, and thumps his filled bag very loudly on the counter. "And how's Conner doing in school?" 

"You'd have to ask Ma or Pa about that, I'm afraid, I don't really keep up with the kid's grades," Clark says with a wry laugh. 

"Do tell," Cathy says again, and somehow it's even frostier than before. 

Clark is a little concerned.

The Gravity of Tempered Grace (part four)

[Part 4: Make a Meaning of the Poison in this Place]

The Life and Times of Jane the Queen, Chapter 11 - The Pacifist Queen

“Jane was always regarded as a peacemaker in Henry’s court, known for her gentle and forgiving nature. She even managed to reconcile Henry with his eldest daughter Mary, who was twenty years old at the time, and whose mother, Catherine of Aragon, had died only five months before Jane and Henry wed. Jane was very fond of the Lady Mary, welcoming her into the family as if she were her own flesh-and-blood daughter.

Jane’s motto in court was “bound to obey and serve.” She didn’t often argue with Henry on political matters, concerning herself more with court life and producing her heir. Part of her legacy will always be tied to her quiet, docile nature.”

Jack and Cathy songs:

[helenaredamancy]

musical theatre moments that break me :)

the way aaron tveit (specifically his line delivery of this for some reason) sings “i wanna live a life and not just play a part” and “im tired of living on the stage a life that’s only on the page” (catch me if you can)

it gets extra good in his final performance of the song, here

phillipa soo in the entirety of burn and its quiet uptown (hamilton)

oh also idk why but her version of no one else makes me sad its so pretty (the great comet of 1812)

jeremy jordan’s opening verses to this world will remember us,,, special points to the way he sings “could outsmart the smartest lawman” and “my name is gonna make the history books” (bonnie and clyde)

jeremy jordan’s line delivery for “every kid will idolize clyde barROW” (bonnie and clyde)

also the way this part of too late to turn back now is sung,,

“yOU AINT GOIN NOWHERE” “CLYDE I MEANT WHAT I SAid”,, POWER

the way andrew rannells sings “how do i start not to love you” while staring at marvin, thank you (falsettos)

also the first time whizzer/marvin say i love you to each other

the fact that marvin tells his son “i never wanted to love you, i just wanted to see your face in mine” after slapping his ex wife? when his son’s biggest hang up is that he resembles marvin way too much? jesus (falsettos)

cathy talking about how that guy she dated: “he blew me off with a heartfelt letter i thought i can do better than that” and then jaime doing exactly that (the last five years)

the i am the one/ i am the one reprise and perfect for you/ hey 3 perfect for you reprise lyric changes/ context changes!!! incredible stunning perfect gorgeous (next to normal)

the roughness in aaron tveit’s live rendition of roxanne (it’s so emotional? i didn’t think roxanne would work with JUST christian but. it does)

drew gehling and jessie mueller’s harmonies in bad idea as they take their wedding rings off and decide to have the affair,, heartbreaking+pretty (waitress)

also renee rapp/antonio cipriano singing bad idea

honestly any harmonies in waitress r guaranteed to make ur heart Break

think: the entirety of you matter to me (waitress)

[so-true-jestie]

six x she used to be mine

matching lyrics to the queens!

kitty: that place and its patrons / have taken more than i gave 'em

anne: she's imperfect, but she tries / she is good, but she lies

anna: sometimes life just slips in through a back door / and carves out a person, and makes you believe it's all true

cathy: if i'm honest i know i would give it all back / for a chance to start over, and rewrite an ending or two

lina: who gets hurt, but who learns to toughen up when she's bruised / and gets used by a man who can't love

jane: to fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes / that's been gone but used to be mine

(this song is everything and i still haven't recovered from how jessie mueller sings it. anyway enjoy some waitress!)
