WARNING ! SPOILERS for TLOVM season 3 and Campaign 1
I'm a bit sad with all the negativity in the tlovm tags following this new batch of episodes. Because all the usual appreciation and fun details pointing is drown in it. So I'll do my part and draw some light and appreciation for the following things:
"Allura can't teleport us 'cause we mind wind up in the ocean" Nice nod
The beauty of Glintshore sand? crystals ? I mean, I know the entire island isn't covered in it, but it's there and it's gorgeous
Vax and Grog banter, Pike and Vax friendship when she stole his badass line. Who says that the friendships in tlovm are not showed ? It's smaller because they're running out of time but if you keep both eyes open, you can catch the small moments.
How good was the delirium gas ?
Percy having bad Ripley PTSD ?Check.
Orthax forcing the (gas) mask on Percy's face ? Oh f*ck me that was so good.
Elaina's first appearence and Vex's heart torment ? Check
Vex fighting the gas messing with her mind and seeing Percy getting kidnapped ? Great
Her seeing Percy devoured by some hellish pain ? Awesome foreshadowing for Orthax feeding on Percy's soul
I won't dwell too much on ep 7 because I'm Perc'ahlia trash and this was pure gold but ALL their scenes.
And these two shots:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're the last thing they think about before passing out. And look at them, they're looking at each other. Great parallels, great cinematography
You want more parallels ? You're not in enough pain ? I've got more ! How about this ?:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Percy cradling Vex because he doesn't want to lose her.
Vex cradling Percy because she lost him
MY HEART !!!!!!
Anyways back to our regular program: The color scheme in the factory is on point. Predominance of green during all Ripley's discussion with percy, some blasts of orange for Orthax.
Tumblr media
This shot when they want to make us think Percy will go dark but also because he sincerly understand. He sees with her (green) eyes
Tumblr media
Culminating in theses shots:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the end, the true Percy is good (he's blue which is both his color and Vex's)
Then we got some nice Pike and Kiki character development with the delirium gas
Percy's fight with Ripley is pure display of his capacities and wits, not unlike Vex's fight against Saundor or Grog's fight against Kevdak. The fights with nemesis are always awesome, well choreographed and both characters and animators flexing.
And I like Grog's delirium both beacause it brings a bit of comic relief in this big painful episode but that's not all there is. Because when he gets out of it, he asks Pike if he hurt her again and you can't convince me that he didn't saw Craven Edge and the pain he inflicted Pike in his PTSD (not showed but we know)
Onto episode 8, love the Stilben flashback and the dead mystic cult leader being Taliesin.
The funeral was powerful and beautiful. The highlights being Cassandra crying her last family member and Vex'ahlia not saying the prayer despite being one of the Dawnfather.
Scanlan putting Kaylie's song music sheet on the altar for Percy breaks my heart. For him, he lost both of them and also he traded the life of his friend for moments with Kaylie (which he didn't even had, that's so sad)
Vox Machina assembling all of their allies with the beautiful OST was awesome while conserving this... heaviness. We're still grieving (at least I'm still am)
Vex and Syldor whole convesrsation. Laura Bailey, the talented woman you are and Troy Baker did a great job at humanizing him. though he's still a prick.
Vaxleth and Pikelan scenes were cute
We've got LARKIN mentioned and by Vax nonetheless !
Earthbreaker Groon and Grog doing the slapping hands/muscles flexing meme !
How brutal Thordak's attacks are in ep 8 and 9, all the people dying to rise up the stakes worked really well in my opinion.
Travis smarts piercing through Grog's 6 INT just like in the campaign
Earthbreaker Groon being a BAMF with that suplex
The teamwork going strong during all the fight
Zahra and Kash coming in to save the day. I love them your honor
My jaw dropped at Kashaw's badass magical attack. THAT WAS AWESOME and dropped further at his death. I couldn't believe it at first and as bold as a choice it was, I really liked it. Because it's a thing to kill NPC nameless army guys but killing a beloved character: that take some balls . And because of the unpredictability, the shock hit. I'm always here for the drama and it was beautifully done (the visuals for the Raven Queen and her powers are always as gorgeous as ominous).
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn also showing off her VA talent
In the end, every VM members getting his moment of glory :
Vex with getting the Syngorn army while being at her lowest/rock bottom ("The truth is the only bargaining chip at rock bottom", really nice parallels with the Stillben flashback + her using Percy's philosophy)
Grog destroying the lair
Scanlan getting them out of there at the peril at his life and ending up in a coma (nice subversion so there are not two dead party members followed up by two ressurections)
Keyleth being her badass elemental self (with her two gorgeous muscial leitmotives "blinded by the light" + "passing through the fire")
Pike being able to absorb Thordak -not red but- blue fire/laser which we saw went through Emon like butter. That's one MONSTAH move with beautiful beautiful colors (red yellow and blue mixing) look at this shot:
Tumblr media
And Vax having the last kill, thinking of his mother doing this for Emon sure but most important for his mom, Vex and himself and what a beautiful shot and power move with the twisting golden and black torpedo that he is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A great powerful death for a great powerful foe
And then some sorrow and sweetness. The Vaxleth back hug was adorable.
And that last shot of Keyleth after the confrontation with Raishan makes me long for more and to already be next week.
And that's some positivity and appreciation of CR work because they pour their heart and soul into these series and these characters and it's beautiful and I see it. I hope I could put some light on it at my small scale.
Have a great day and let's wait impatiently for next week and end of season 3

Finished HOTD Season 2 Episode 2. Lots of thoughts . Mainly about Alicent…
1) Alicent shows a tendency to start f*cking Ser Criston Cole when she should be comforting her mourning children.
2) I thought in the last scene for a second Alicent was going to show Aegon real affection for the first time . But nope she instead turns away from Aegon in his greatest time of need and instead f*cks Cole. Confirming again what a terrible mother she is. Truly incapable of making her son feel loved.
3) This episode is the first time I think Alicent showed her daughter Helaena real affection.
4) I think Aegon does know about his mom’s secret affair and is going to blackmail her with his knowledge of it.
5) Aegon may be an idiot but I am again so glad to see him stand up to his mom and granddad for treating him like crap his entire childhood.
6) The battle between the two brothers was so sad.
7) Whether or not Daemon told Blood and Cheese to kill a child, I still think Daemon wanted that. The way he denies the accusations sounds so bland and unconvincing, he could be lying. I’m with you Rhaenyra; I don’t believe him either.
8) Several characters express regret for their actions , but I think only Ser Arryk shows genuine regret.
9) Anyone else think Jahaerys’ head was going to fall off during the funeral procession ?

Y'know what I find curious about this season?
Some people may cry all they want about "payneland being queerbait" because they didn't end up together (and if that old interview is anything to go by, aren't goint to hold your horses I'm rooting for them too), but the fact is,
no one did.
There were PLENTY of romantic plotlines within those 8 episodes, I'm amazed just how packed with everything those roughly 7-8 hours are... back to the topic though. We have:
Edwin pining after Charles
Charles and Crystal's whatever-they-have-going-on (no srsly explain it to me like I'm five, way to make seemingly straight relationship not boring, they're queer af and I like it with all its awkwardness and uncertainty)
The Cat King pining after Edwin
Monty pining after Edwin
Simon pining after Edwin I think we've spotted the initial DISASTER gay, literally - who gets so frustrated their crush doesn't notice them that they end up sacrificing the crush and everyone involved to HELL???
The unfortunate date of Jenny and Maxine
Vaguely but let's count ep 5 too because it's basically based on romantic relationship drama
Esther? Should we count Esther's failed marriage? And her husband's affair? I'll go with count it
Now, that's about 6-9 romantic plotlines.
Does ANY of them, ANY AT ALL, get its proverbial "happily ever after"?
Nuh-uh.
I think Edwin and Charles have the most promising outcome out of all of them, actually. Yes it's as vague as it can get, but "literally forever to figure out the rest" is at least hopeful and gives a way for anything to develop.
Crystal set her boundaries pretty clearly. She may still have a crush on Charles but she doesn't want this to evolve into anything, she wants to be friends. Which is - yay, friends! No romance though.
Edwin also rejected both the CK and Monty in very clear terms.
Jenny's still single in september.
I believe you remember all the secondary lines.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. DBD said aro rights :DDD

Toni Hamel
Born (1961) in Italy. Lives and works in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Toni Hamel describes her work as “an illustrated commentary on human frailties“. Rooted in story-telling, her art practice draws from personal experiences and outward observations to create thematic bodies of work that reflect on and interpret the psychological unease of this anthropocentric age. Virtues and vices, the holy and the profane, the good and the bad all share equal weight in her work and supply an infinite source of material for her investigations. Pointing to historical references, popular culture and our current conceptual standing, Hamel’s satirical narratives ultimately seem to question our behaviour while alerting us about the repercussions of our current thinking models.
Hamel is the recipient of three Ontario Arts Council grants (2011, 2012, 2014). Her work has been exhibited in public and commercial galleries in Canada and abroad, and is included in the art collections of J. J. Abrams, Whoopi Goldberg, the Government of Ontario, the Omer DeSerres Corporation, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery and many other private collections around the world.
Hamel’s work is regularly featured in Arts & Culture publications including Colossal (March 7, 2023 – September 16, 2020), My Modern Met (April 24, 2022), CBC-Arts (Canada, short-doc; Season 3/Episode 20, 2018), Hi-Fructose (September 16, 2017 / August 8, 2015), Lowdown (Germany, Issue #98, 2018; print and online); Courrier International (France, October 2017; print), Colossal and BOOOOOOOM (digital), Frankie (Australia, October 2018; print), The Affair (Taiwan, July 2018; print), Efflorescence Culturelle (France, September 2016), Mud Season Review (USA, Issue #28; print – online see art and interview) and many other print and digital outlets.

Even in the book it’s clear that the relationship between Rhaenyra and Daemon isn’t healthy (in fact you can make the argument that no romantic relationship depicted in any of George R.R. Martin’s work is completely healthy) and isn’t something anyone should strive for.
So when I first watched the show and saw the romantic twist they put on Rhaenyra and Daemon I was confused (as someone who read the book first HOTD is to me what the Percy Jackson movies are to that fandom, enjoyable but differing vastly from the source material) and not going to lie intrigued.
But then as the episodes went on I developed a very big love-hate relationship with Daemon. Episodes 6-7 pissed me off 🫠 Hooking up with anyone at the funeral of your wife isn’t cool (also Harwin who was Rhaenyra’s lover for ten years who she had three children with just died) I mean I get that everyone grieves in different ways but the fact that he slept with Rhaenyra especially when I know how he treated Laena (and his daughters to some extent) 🥴🙄
I would also like to say that I don’t play around with domestic violence (fictional and in the real world) so Daemon choking Rhaenyra really turned me off his character. It also felt like another moment in HOTD to showcase brutal violence against women.
There are a handful of potentially healthy romantic relationships(Rhaena and Garmund might have actually had a happy marriage), but yeah if someone is using Dumbnyra as an example of one 🫠
To me, the show never framed their relationship in a romantic context. I mean Rhaenyra is underage when we first meet her, she looks super young next to her overly grown uncle, and the necklace he gives her could constitute as grooming.
I think people got confused with the “switch up” because they are the only “shippable couple”(I say this term loosely because shippable to this fandom equals too white people who breathe near each other hence why we have the clusterf*ck that is lucemond) on the show so far. If the red flags didn’t ring for people in episode one they should’ve rung by episode four when he abandoned her in the brothel. People seemed to ignore this because she’s 18, but abandoning someone in a dangerous place they aren’t familiar with no matter their age is really scary
This is going to be a very controversial take(I’m not a person who gets off on seeing domestic violence), but it seems like the choking scene was necessary since people thought Dumbnyra was supposed to be a romantic couple 🤷🏽‍♀️
Daemon from day one was a crazy a**hole who hardly cared about anyone. He does have redeeming qualities in the book(notably how is with Laena and Nettles, which they better not screw over because Ryan Condal himself has said the man is a gray character and she’s his only light now), but so far they’ve cut those parts out and turned him into a man obsessed with his brother.
Rhaenyra, as are all the other women in his life, is a causality of his obsession. People wanted her to be his exception, but she was never framed in that way. In fact, she’s one of his first “victims.”
Daemon has not changed fundamentally since episode one. So it makes sense why he’d violently snap at her too. Out of all the violent scenes directed at women in the past season, the choking scene makes the most sense to me.
Like I said above, I hope we do see him change(and yes I’ll be biased and say I want him to change for Nettles like he did in the books) because he is supposed to be a morally gray character, but Rhaenyra is not part of the lighter side of him.

Superman & Lois - My Opinions of Season 4, Episodes 1 & 2
1) Well, that was awful. The first two episodes were crap. They were rushed. Lois and the boys didn't really react the way they should have when they saw Clark with a hole in his chest. (No spontaneous shrieks of 'Dad?!') And Lois seemed only a little upset when she was writing the article about Superman's being dead. It was bizarre. She supposedly just lost the love of her life. Where are the real tears? The screams? The uncontrollable sobs? Ditto for the boys, who saw their father dead.
2) How much time passed during this episode? 24 hours?
3) Oh, and Luthor somehow put together who Superman was and that Jordan's the one with the powers because of what Jordan did. Never mind that Luthor literally saw Superman's face on Clark Kent. Because Jordan needs to be as stupid and reckless as possible and the plot's gotta plot.
4) Speaking of stupid and reckless, the writers are really doubling down on making Jordan an idiot. Simultaneously, they're trying to make Lois look stronger and smarter than she really is. (I despise female characters who are supposed to be strong but are really just stupid and fail to accomplish absolutely anything of note. Like Lois did when she confronted Candice's dad and made no difference whatsoever.)
5) Why is Lois still so concerned about the secret? What the hell are they going to say to explain Clark's abrupt disappearance?
6) Where did Doomsday f*ck off to?
7) I'll be surprised if I make it to the end of the show. When some guy involved in the making claimed it was an award quality season, I knew that was a crock. But damn, I didn't think it would be this bad.
8) I'm so tired of people bitching about Jordan's wanting to be a hero for the "wrong" reasons. What does that even mean? Who the hell has the right to decide what the "right" reasons are? There's nothing wrong with wanting credit for your accomplishments.
9) Just about the only thing I liked was the phone call. That was genuinely terrifying. So naturally, it was rendered moot almost immediately when Lana showed up to get Jon out of the hotel room.
P.S. They released the synopsis for the third episode before the first two aired and I inadvertently saw it. Thanks, assholes, for giving away that Jordan fails. Actually, maybe that thank you should be genuine. After all, I got to skip parts where Jordan was being dumb because the writers decided he needed to be.

you know everyone's always like if nina had not left but why doesn't anyone point out the obvious callbacks to earlier seasons?Caroline in broadcast journalism,Julian,abusive bf of mom being equated with abusive dad Giuseppe both of who killed damon in front of Stefan and later get killed by stefan.Damon trying to murder caroline and stefan stopping him callback.Stefan-Caroline 2×02 callback.Stefan sacrificing for damon in 2×22 callback with stefan taking the mark.Klefan nostalgia s3 callback in the crossover where KC phonecall did a callback to their 5×11 convo.Damon napping beside Elena while Stefan's life was on the line=Damon sleeping with Elena while Stefan was drowning.Stefan leaving without telling caroline,callback to early s6.Caroline crying alone & ric instead of enzo telling stefan about it,Stefan having to earn caro's forgiveness same as s6.Callbacks to the day liz died with stefan visiting her grave on her death anniversary. 1/2
Stefan saying 'it didn't go how I wanted it to' in 7×19 callback to Stefan telling elena 'it didn't go down the way I wanted it to' in 6×19 when damon told her stefan slept with caro with no humanity,the whole ep21 having blatant parallels with s6,stefan telling caro 'it's not over yet' in 7×22 which is a line from the song Between the day & Between the night from 6×21.Their 7×22 kiss paralleling their first kiss.I remember Julie relentlessly tweeting tvd is going back to basics while CK said at SDCC from what she had read until then that the season would be like Back to the Future II without the hoverboards.So what was the theme in mind when they approached it?Were they doing like a play-within-a-play? 2/2
Of course not Anon because it's much cooler and edge-y to say the writing was terrible in the later seasons because they don't know what parallels, callbacks or foreshadowing is. I remember seeing so many tweets during 7x07 of people being like "Giuseppe was never this mean the writers are retconning" as if we didn't see this guy KILL BOTH HIS SONS! We also saw that he hated Damon and said all he's ever been is a disappointment but people were shocked Giuseppe was abusive like... I mean S7 was a very disjointed mess but it did some things right and specifically Defan's relationship and the flashbacks really helped explain who Stefan was so dependent on his brother, because Damon basically took all the abuse from their Dad to save Stefan. Other parallels I liked was the "run for the hills/were in this together" in 7x08 and 8x09 or "who are you right now/this quarter of a man sitting in front of me" in 6x05 and 8x10.
It's another reason why when people say Steroline is forced because Nina left meanwhile my steroline parallel tag has a multitude of gifsets parallel Stefan and Caroline with each other as well as their relationship. I also noticed during my rewatch how Elena would constantly add "for now" or "right now" when talking about her and Stefan but with Damon she never did that so I have a hard time believing the writers were always planning on going back to SE when they made it seem more finite. I agree with what Candice said about S8 I felt a lot of parallels to S1 when rewatching, the first episode specifically felt like I was watching a S1 episode. It had the pieces of the bell like the Jonathan Gilbert devices, Seline infiltrating herself into the twins lives by being the nanny was like Damon infiltrating himself into the Council. The Seline/Sybil flashbacks paralleled with the Defan flashbacks like the tone was definitely there.

CJL LIVE BLOG SEASON 1 [EPISODE 2]
Hi. I had an exam on 28th and I had promised my mother that I won't write anything before that. So. Now. Come. Let'z begin :)
1.) So. Now is the time for their sweet re-union. Badshah & Deva. Deva fishes out a harmonica and starts playing 'their' melody which is also an instrumental of the titular song.
2.) Badshah, instantly, recognizes the tune and starts running towards its source, Deva as well comes down running towards him while playing it, with tears rolling down his eyes.
3.) Ok. So. Now. Badshah is doing nakhre. He wants to have a race to a tree at the hilltop. Deva mocks Badshah of his old age and inability to run at full speed. He warns him not to cheat and to start running only at the count of three. (Tho he himself breaks the rules in the next moment. Lol.)
4.) They are about to reach the hilltop and Deva realizes he is loosing, so, he takes a long-ass high jump and lands on the tree, altho the camera could not hide the actuality of the scene but theek hai itna toh chalta hai.
5.) Deva is hanging down a branch and is gloating of his victory but the branch breaks off and he falls down the hill to the-waterfall?-lake?-water body. Whatever.
6.) And, now, we get a glimpse of his trauma getting triggered due to him going underwater. We see the impact of the trauma has been huge on him too, by the line as well as the way, he says it, "Haan haan tu jeeta aur......main haar gaya."
7.) We, along with Badshah, get a glimpse of his tortured past. He(Badshah) tries to sooth and comfort him but Deva brushes it off by saying that this was the reward for trying to bring a smile on someone's face, he continues, the wounds have healed but the pain is still there.
8.) And, we are instantly taken to that certain someone who, he was talking about, moments ago. Mujhariya ji? Or? Bhojariya ji? They didn't keep track of that name. (¬_¬)
9.) Tara has. Oh. Hi Tara. So. Tara has returned home but she kept searching for Badshah, the whole day, as it is night time now. She has badgered (-Bho/Mu-)jhariya ji the whole day, he is exasperated and tells her to not disturb him as he has no knowledge of the person, who has bought Badshah.
10.) So. We hear someone shouting at the top of their lungs, asking for their 'accounts ki file' and we see Baba throw- Oh. Hi Baba. Long time no see. Hope you are fin-i think not. Did you too find something strange in Baba's behavior? Like. Wasn't he, a self-centered, stuck up 'Sehgal' all those years back? Yeh kab se Tara ki baat manne lage? Something's wrong with him, i think. Whatever.
11.) So. Tara hands him those yellow flowers from the gardens of their ex-house. Lol. Ex-house. And Baba calms down, considerably.
12.) We see Tara leaves Baba inside the room and goes to clean the now-broken expensive lamp of her chachi. Chachi warns her to tell off her Baba to be careful with the things of this house as it is their house(Chacha and Chachi's). Btw, what's with Chachi's over make-up and heavy saree? She didn't go anywhere? Did she? No? Then why the over dressing? Lol. Whatever.
13.) Oh. So. Chachi takes rent from these two. To give them space in 'their' house. To give shelter to their OWN big brother? Like? Blood related BIG BRO? Wow. Just wow. And, she orders Tara to give her additional five thousand along with the monthly rent, for the loss of that goddamn lamp. Chachi, be grateful that she has the grace to give that money, had i been at her place, i would have given you a tight slap. Now. Shut the f*ck up Chachi. You understand? STFU CHACHI.
Not-so-fun Fact : Why are all the Chacha's and Chachi's of the ITV universe doing the GREAT wrong deed / the GREAT injustice? First Arnav's chachaji and now these idiots (also chachas and chachis)? Like? Wtf is wrong with them? Whatever.
14.) Aha. See? I told you. Baba is ill, y'all.
15.) Tara pleads chachi to -understandably- show some mercy to her father but chachi backfires.
16.) Oh. So. I was right again. Chacha and chachi are going for a party thrown by some 'maaldaar investor'. Lol. What was with that shitty woofing at the end. Lol. Whatever.
17.) Hold on, y'all. Let me take a water break.
*takes a two minute time-out*
*returns back* Ok. Let's resume.
18.) Papa is ill. But brother is still the same. Asshole. You noticed how papa has softened towards Tara now? I actually feel sad for Tara. This poor little kid lost so much so soon. And, now she is the one taking care of her ill father and reckless brother. Because Rohan has to get paid to look after his ill papa for ONE FREAKING DAY. Humphf. Shit-hole of a brother.
Not-so-Fun Fact : They highlighted his gold gleaming ring and the watch on his left hand when he asked about his return gift for 'papa-sitting' which means Tara was the only one who gave those to him or at least she was the one to pay the bill. My poor little baby Tara.
LoOoOol. Again, that Sehgal Promise. Bro, the last time you gave your 'Sehgal Promise', you almost traumatized Tara. Just spare her with that shit-ass of a promise of yours and take care of your father, you jobless leech.
19.) Tara has been made part of the event today night, which is probably, being hosted by Deva and he can't wait to start on his revenge, the moment he was waiting for, for the last fifteen years.
20.) Lol. Deva is in love. Yeah. Kind of. The man has everything around him which keeps reminding him of Tara. He really loves her, actually. Had kind of fallen for her all those years back. It's just he has this misunderstanding that Tara had the heart to betray him so when he comes to know the truth he will actually end up taking revenge from those accused Sehgals for his and Tara's tortured past.
21.) Ok. So. Deva in black. His car in red. (Tara in red. Lol. I saw in the thumb nail.)
22.) Ok. So. Wow. The entry. Both of them together. In the chand's light. That? Was? So? Freaking? Beautiful? Like? Wtf?
P.S. : So. Yeah. As I said. I am loving this show. The ending scene was perfect. It was so goddamn beautiful. Wow. Everything was perfect. Deva in black, Tara in red. Btw it was kinda surprising that Tara's chacha-chachi were in black while she in red(You know how it goes in some shows. The whole family is given the same color combination.) But it is also fitting because both of them are the black shadows in Tara's life while Deva, also in black, was given a see-through shirt underneath the coat, so I guess it was to show that he won't be completely black, like, black in the surface but his love for Tara would also be very much visible, just like his own skin is. Whatever. I over-analyzed the thing which did not need any analyzing. Lol. Whatever. Ok. Bye. God bless you.

Predictions: A Pre-Review
As I now reach the end of S6 of The X-Files, I'm going to start something new: making predictions about how much I think I'll like the episodes, based on the title, thumbnail screenshot, and short description that my source gives for each episode. I'll be rating them out of ten, then coming back to this when I finish the season to see how much I overshot/undershot.
My reasoning for this is that I'm entering the period where both MSR ramps up, and also there are opinions that it starts to get '''less good''' around here, so I think it'll be fun to see how wrong/right I am with my guesses. I meant to start this for S6 after watching FTF, but I forgot, so...here we are!
I've just finished Field Trip, so I'll start from here as there will most likely be a cross-season two-three?-parter. It's all below if you want to...
S06E22 'Biogenesis' - From the summary and the fact that I've heard almost nothing about it, it could be anywhere on the scale. 6/10
S07E01 'The Sixth Extinction' - Thumbnail has Mulder and Scully on the ground look after some kind of explosion, so that scene might be fun. There's a beached spacecraft apparently? With symbols? Not sure what to make of this, 6/10
S07E02 'The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati' - CSM and Diana are involved :( I think I've seen a GIF of Scully with a sword from this episode, what's with that. Mulder is catatonic??? H/c potential...7/10
S07E03 'Hungry' - The guy with no hair in the thumbnail looks creepy as hell, this seems like another version of 'The Host', 3/10
S07E04 'Millenium' - I Am Aware Of The Kiss. But I Do Not See It. Uuuh loses points for romance but gains points for seeming to be about Y2K, 5/10
S07E05 'Rush' - Potentially summed up by the meme 'I'm fast as f*ck, boi'. Apparently very forgettable, but I sometimes enjoy those the most. 6/10
S07E06 'The Goldberg Variation' - I feel like I recognise the guy in the thumbnail. Something about the luckiest guy in the world. Could be fun, 6/10
S07E07 'Orison' - DONNIE PFASTER??? BACK AGAIN??? And specifically gunning for Mulder/Scully...this could as fun as Kitsunegari, 8/10
S07E08 'The Amazing Maleeni' - Thumbnail has our pair at a funfair, where I think a magician has been murdered. Could be a fun little silly one, 7/10
S07E09 'Signs & Wonders' - Murder snakes. Sceptical Scully in the thumbnail. Should be fun, 6/10
S07E10 'Sein Und Zeit' - I'm pretty sure that Mulder's mother kills herself in this one, I think I read that as a spoiler somewhere. Angst ahoy... 7/10
S07E11 'Closure' - OOOH I'm looking forward to this one, finding out what really happened to Samantha. I hope that they do this well or I will be extremely annoyed. Being conservative for potential to suck, 7/10
S07E12 'X-Cops' - I mean, it's got the meta of TV-show-in-TV-show, so we're already doing well. And 'a creature terrorising LA' also sounds like it'll be good fun, love me a good Creature. Could be a silly one, 8/10
S07E13 'First Person Shooter' - HELL YEAH I can't WAIT for this one OH my goodness we get Lone Gunmen! Mulder and Scully in armour! Fun video game stuff that sounds like it could be Jumanji-esque! You'd better not let me down, 9/10
S07E14 'Theef' - Witchcraft! It could be the cause, idk. Excellent height difference illustration in the thumbnail. Scully looks severely annoyed. Hopefully I won't be, 7/10
S07E15 'En Ami' - CSM has an offer...it probably is too good to be true, yeah. Don't trust him Mulder, 6/10
S07E16 'Chimera' - Mulder's on a bird hunt and at least one cop eats dinner. Quoth the raven...7/10
S07E17 'All Things' - Scully's questioning her romantic choices and looking extremely pissed off. Probably takes itself too seriously, 6/10
S07E18 'Brand X' - Potential for CSM involvement given the cigarette researcher...not much else to reccommend it at the moment. 6/10
S07E19 'Hollywood A.D.' - YESSS this is the first episode I ever saw in GIFs, which really got the show stuck in my memory, I have WAITED SO LONG and if it's not excellent then I will be heartbroken. Skinman you're a real one. 9/10
S07E20 'Fight Club' - Sounds vaguely similar to Syzygy, somehow. Mass destruction could be fun, though. 7/10
S07E21 'Je Souhaite' - I have Heard Things about this episode that lead me to believe it will be more heavy than the fun genie antics that the summary implies. Maybe something like The Rain King which I thought would be about fun wacky meteorology but then ended up being about love, how boring. 7/10
S07E22 will be in the next batch.
So, that's it. If you've seen this series before, then no spoilers please, but am I being a sweet summer child? Will this season be a world of hurt? Let me know or scream at me (again, no major spoilers please), and in either case, wait for the post-season review. Until then...

Are you suprised this one is so high on our list? So are we! This episode was well shot, well acted, and just a great heartfelt homage to classic horror movies. When Supernatural can get the right balance of horror and comedy that might be when I love it the most. (Also it has one of my favorite Sam lines ever)

Sarah’s Score: 10
Total Points: 83

I’m back. Let’s, um… do this? Don’t look under the cut if you don’t want spoilers.
1. Well, my number one wish was denied. Great.
2. So, no, Robby and Tory’s arcs strongly revolved around each other as I expected. I was hoping they’d show more of Johnny hyping up Robby since he’s the deadbeat father of 17 years. But no, they just talk about it and have Johnny make up with Miguel. Also they gave Robby a plot where he is SA’d and where it’s never acknowledged as such but rather as cheating. Then he has the whole team against him until Miguel finally steps up and admits once more that Robby should be the one to lead them since he won the 1v1 in 6.5.
Then poor poor Tory. Aside from episode 6 with Sam and Devon, that one scene with Sensei Kim and Kreese, and the bottle cap she holds in the scene when CK is about to leave for home, her mom is never outwardly mentioned again. So not only does she not grieve but her mom (and her brother!) are forgotten about somehow? Did her team even know she was grieving? This easily pissed me the fuck off.
Also what future will everyone have now that they were on live TV participating in an international karate brawl that killed someone? (RIP Kwon)
3. Did they get along? I guess? But it wasn’t for five consecutive episodes. So they failed. I’m not even going to hope for it in part 3 atp. So disappointing for a show having them team up 2 seasons ago.
4. So Eli was a fine fighter. Him and Demetri pissed me off, but I think that was the point of their story in this part. They were entertaining, sure. Still, I hated how they both turned on Kenny so easily. I miss Hawk’s fighting ngl. I know that’s the cliche thing to say but maybe it would remind the writers how good this character is as a fighter and person. I’m less upset at what they did with him in this part than in part 1, though, so maybe that’s a win? They’re doing the bare minimum for me haha.
5. Oh, poor me back a week ago. “I want Kwon to have character development.” No. They wanted to make him a 2D character that dies. I’m assuming he’s a plot device to be a wake up call in part 3 for all the insane karate people. But like. I wanted to know his home life, what motivates him, why he’s so easily molded by Kreese, and more. Ugh. I can’t even think about it too much because then I’ll be sad because I had hopes for him. I should’ve known better.
6. So she was just a stereotypical bitch. Istg the writers have never talked to a girl before tf. At a certain point the sassy influencer and karate star became all we knew about her. Then I hated her when it was implied that she raped Robby (fight me bc there was no consent). Anyway. No hate to the actress because she may have been likeable had she been written differently and had the creators and writers not been sexist for the thousandth time.
7. Tory: traumatized with some badass fight scenes and relationship drama
Carmen: traumatized and supporting men with words of comfort
Sam: relationship drama kind of but it’s not her fault everyone loves her
Devon: At least she apologized (for the thing she did in part 1 that to me was so ooc to begin with) but her apology was ultimately what pushed Johnny to make up with Daniel on that voicemail so…
Zara: …
Sensei Kim: they even gave her a fucking romance subplot (at this moment I’m indifferent about Kim and Chozen together)
8. I’m trying to think if the Bechdel test was even passed. I don’t have time rn but I’ll come back to update. I’m thinking the aquarium scene maybe?
Anyway. I’m disappointed but not surprised. Whatever atp. There are enough fics out there that I’m sure will fix this shit.
Here are my wishes for part 2 (that nobody asked for) now that we are less than 24 hours away:
I don’t want anyone else to die.
I don’t want Robby or Tory’s arcs to revolve around the other because they are individuals. They should grow and find their life’s purpose separate from their partners because there’s so much to address for Robby’s family and Tory’s grief and both of their futures.
For Johnny and Daniel to finally get along for 5 consecutive episodes. The first 5 minutes isn’t giving me confidence.
I don’t want Eli to be sidelined again. I like the drama with Demetri, but Eli is an All Valley champ. Put some respect on his name.
I want Kwon to have character development (though I’m sure he won’t based on the interviews I’ve seen).
I want Zara to be a fleshed out character and not just a “bitchy champion” because I’m worried that’s how they wrote her.
Overall, I want the writer’s room to give all the girls a real personality other than: traumatized, in love, or supportive/advising male characters.
And I’d love for them to pass the Bechdel test in this part.
I know this is all too much to ask though.
I’ll come back after part 2 to update this.

Anime I Watched in 2021 :
1. Dororo 5/5
Severely underrated anime. Great animation. Intriguing plot. Likable characters. Just enough of angst. Highly recommend this one.
Tumblr media
2. Burn the Witch 4/5
Great to see Tite Kubo’s work again. And great to see the bleach universe once more. Can’t wait for this to continue. Already love the story and characters. Interesting villains (and by interesting I mean hawt 🥵)
Tumblr media
3. Fruits Basket 2019 5/5
Listen I didn’t want to like this one. It was so hyped that I thought it was overrated but booooyyy was I wrong. It deserved the hype. The plot was top tier. At the end of the second season I had to pick my jaw off the ground with that reveal. All the characters were likable. Except Akito; she deserved punishment for what she put all the members of the Zodiac through. Overall this is highly recommended.
Tumblr media
4. Re: Zero 4/5
This one took me to Spain without the S. This one frustrated me but I just had to keep on going. Subaru is the biggest simp but I can’t blame him; Emilia is just the cutest. Really liked this one but I’m not sure if I’m emotionally ready for the next season. Also this anime made me scared of bunnies 🐰
Tumblr media
5. Gintama 1,00,000/5
Where do I even begin with this masterpiece. I went into this for the comedy. THE COMEDY!!! I did not expect the FEELS. Jesus H. Christ this one blew me away. All the characters were likable, the plots were sometimes questionable but it worked for this anime. The OST’s were god tier. The openings and endings deserve awards. Unpopular opinion but I think Gintama’s opening and endings are better than Naruto. Please if you haven’t watched this one just give it a chance. It took a couple episodes to hook me in but when it did it, it hooked me good. Also if you want an anime with strong female characters this is the one. No waiting for men to save the heroine, the women go in and f*ck shit up (I’m looking at you Courtesan of a Nation Arc.) Seriously though, everyone needs to watch this.
Tumblr media
6. Devil man Crybaby 4/5
My coworker put me on to this one. Word of advice: do not watch this one at work 👀 that first episode almost gave me a heart attack. This one surprised me. And that ending wow 🤯. This anime is not for the faint of heart. Please don’t watch this if you’re underaged. I took a while to like the animation style but it eventually grew on me. Overall it’s a good one that I highly recommend.
Tumblr media
7. Those Snow White Notes
Tik Tok recommended this anime to me. You know that one scene with the guy and his mom in the apartment, yeah that one. I remembered getting goosebumps and I knew I had to watch and for once tik tok lead me in the right direction. This one isn’t about romance or school is about the shamisen ( a traditional Japanese instrument) and let me tell you how good this was. The music blew me away. The emotions from the MC and his love/hate relationship with the shamisen really captivated me. And that first opening was amazing. Definitely recommend this one.
Tumblr media
8. To Your Eternity 5/5
I think I need to send my therapy bill to the creator of this show. Seriously though this one brought pain but goddamn that opening was good. And Fushi was just too dang cute you wanted to see his progress. This one had so many characters that you just can’t help but fall in love with each one of them and damn the author for ripping out my heart every time.
Tumblr media
9. Heaven’s Official Blessing 5/5
I’m sorry but Xie Lian and Hua Cheng invented true love. There’s no debating. They’re the epitome of power couple. This series took me by surprise and I loved every millisecond of it. And please if you haven’t read the novel PLEASE PLEASE read it!!! I promise it’s worth it. Now excuse me while I cry because I’m sad and lonely 😩
Tumblr media
10. Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation 4/5
This was one was great. Action, comedy, tragedy with a added touch of barely there romance. Since this was only the second Chinese animation that I watched the names were a bit confusing but by the third season I kinda got it?
