So Outerbanks finally has a main black girl (instead of reoccurring) in its cast and like Pope, Cleo has to experience racially motivated comments, for what?

Let’s not pretend the girl hasn’t been in the show for a while now and still doesn’t have a last name! GIVE HER A LAST NAME!

AIDALRO HOW COULD YOU DO THIS

Louis starts acting actively unpleasant on screen (mostly to Claudia but she's also black so many of you don't care) and instead of people treating that as an addition to his characterization y'all treating it like a rewrite and throwing everything else established about him out the window and this is why we can't have actual convos about his character and the fuck shit that he does

Sometimes I still think about the violence that went in to Jessamine's death animation. Even the moments directly before and after the actual stabbing contain a lot of brutality despite how rapidly the whole scene plays out.

For instance, seconds prior to the killing blow, Daud strikes Jessamine across the face so hard her feet nearly leave the ground, and then he immediately begins to strangle her before she even has a chance to regain herself.

And even after the the impalement, the violence comes to an end only after Daud forcefully throws her to the ground like a ragdoll.

It's really odd to see how many people actually disagree with how the finals ended in Alien Stage, because I actually think it's perfect??

Til is my favorite character but I think his arc is strongest if he died here. The fact it's so unfinished and has so much build up with little to no true end - that's the tragedy of it. It's the tragedy that has followed til literally his entire life. Til was never given the tools to imagine a happy ending for himself, and frankly it seems like no one ever had any intention of letting him or any other human have one. For him to never make it past that, to never find his place, just drives home how unfair alien stage really is. How sacrifice doesn't guarantee your loved ones live or even that your struggles will even be remembered in any meaningful way. Alien stage has always been very upfront about the fact only one will win and by the rules probably survive, and I feel like the more it strays from that diminishes the brutality of the very concept they're criticizing. For them to pull any punches on the finale of all levels would feel narratively weak, personally.

But before this episode even aired, we all knew Til had absolutely no chance. From a purely musical standpoint, maybe. But he's literally so emotionally damaged and they put him in the ring with a guy that gets off to impersonating peoples dead loved ones. Even if he wasn't drugged and even if it wasn't implied to have happened directly after the last match he'd be doomed. Lukas literally is out here playing and getting his freak on about making people die miserably Til is literally the least qualified out of ALL of the contestants to deal with that absolute menace. He was always going to lose, even if they faced eachother in the first round.

From an emotional standpoint I will riot and cry and throw up if he's dead but from a purely writing perspective? It's solid as hell. I literally cannot imagine a more tragic and symbolic way for him to live Or die than right now.

But luka when I catch you Luka. Luka. Luka when I catch you Luka
