obviously there are many things i’m sad not to see unfold in future episodes of kaos (ariadne and dionysus meeting, the rebuilding of troy, an explanation of caeneus’s powers, prophet!riddy), but one thing that had some truly fascinating implications is that riddy and caeneus’s mothers seemed to working together to help set the prophecy in motion, as the “today’s the day” scene lead me to believe. did riddy’s mother join the tacitas as part of a long-term plan to unseat the gods? how did caeneus’s mother get involved? how would riddy, who has some significant abandonment issues and also a hatred of being turned into an inspiration figure, react to being the subject of a prophecy that her mother is pushing to unfold? so did caeneus’s mom orchestrated both their deaths so the two of them would be in the underworld at the right moment? also were caeneus and riddy’s moms aware their cosmically significant offspring were getting it on in the underworld while they schemed to help topple the gods or was that unforeseen lmfao

Fun KAOS episode 2 Easter eggs:

Orpheus’ pyjamas look like they’re based on Minoan/Mycenaean frescos; Dionysus’ shirt is almost certainly The Matrix; and Orpheus has a tattoo of Sisyphus on his arm because… well… spoilers

----

Krennic: I wanted to apologize.

Tarkin: Good.

Krennic: Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized that I'm not sorry.

----

Motti: Veers gave me a ‘get better soon’ card.

Needa: That’s…nice. I think.

Motti: I’m not sick. He just thinks I could do better.

----

Needa: You're smiling. What happened?

Piett: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

Veers: Venka tripped and fell down the stairs today.

----

Lastok: I trust Venka.

Heert: You think he knows what he's doing?

Lastok: I wouldn't go that far.

----

Piett: Why do you act like you're always right? It's annoying.

Krennic: Unfortunately I'm always right. Everything I say, it's a fact not an opinion.

----

Motti: As an empath my heart really aches when you guys are losers.

----

Needa: That's a great shirt, Max. 

Veers: Thanks Lorth. 

Needa: It'd look even better on Firmus' floor. 

Piett: .....Are you hitting on Max for me??

----

Heert: My social battery has exploded, killing several innocent bystanders.

----

Covell: Would you stab your best friend in the leg for 10 million gold?

Venka, to Lastok: You stab me, and then when my leg gets better, we buy a big-ass house.

Lastok: You can stab me too, then we'll have 20 million.

Venka: Good thinking.

----

Motti: Save a horse, ride the aristocrat.

Jerjerrod: *looks at Piett* What does he mean? 

Piett: …I’m staying out of this.

Veers: Hmph. Piett: [*glares at him*] Needa: What's going on with those two? Covell: They've been having a lovers' spat because General Veers doesn't want Piett to go on the field mission. Piett: No, that is not why I'm upset. Tell him the reason, Colonel. Covell: Well, you see, this time the field mission is in a literal field. The General is concerned that we would lose Piett in the tall grass. Veers: I saw the pictures from the probe droid! It's VERY tall grass! Piett: I'm not that short! Veers: Lastok's short boyfriend got lost in there for two days on an intelligence mission! That field practically eats short people! Lastok: It's true! Needa: Firmus, you know he's right. We can't afford to lose you in a field... again. Piett: Oh, fuck off, Lorth!

Absolutely obsessed with the writing on KAOS which is wild because the trailer Netflix showed me made it look like it wouldn't be my cup of tea (despite being a mythology girlie).

My big 3 take aways from the first few episodes:

I've never seen anything where my Beloved-Babes-God, Dionysus is the main "kid" God. (What a fab choice from the non-binary showrunner)

The world being a modern surrealist version of Mythological Krete is giving the plot so much energetic novelty even though it's familiar stories. (This is another thing I've always wanted a show to do)

Hades being in black and white (Chefs kiss)

My overall on what's so effective about the show is that it's having fun with mythology. There's a tendency for writers to decide that a myth has to be profound and therefore it can't be stupid. Whereas in reality often the most profoundly human experiences we have and the moments that change our lives are also kind of stupid.

I've been thinking about different versions of Eurydice, and also about the Muse and muses, given the reactions to Riddy's storyline in Kaos. Carol Ann Duffy's "Eurydice" was one of the things that came to mind as a parallel, though her Orpheus is more a poet than a musician. I think of the Duffy poem as part of a larger tradition of women poets taking on the idea of the muse and how it functions to maintain and support a particular version of male creativity, which may be why I wasn't expecting to see Charlie Covell citing Duffy's "Eurydice" as a specific inspiration for KAOS in a recent interview (my reaction to that moment was a mixture of "HA!" and "huh!").

I liked KAOS a lot; I like retellings and reworkings of the Greeks. I'm still happily pondering this one, and expect to be so for a while.
