#daniel and sam episode

[antoschauniverse]

SG-1 and Jacob Carter/Selmak. Daniel, don't forget the bullets😂

[cowgirls-blues]

So the Pilot Program's motives are teamwork (Jammer), network (K), community (Sam) and belonging (Evan). Something something the strongest magic is the links we forge with people (as seen in the first season and it's true more than ever now that the world is changing again, and they/people are more isolated). Hell yeah.

DANIEL LARUSSO AND SAMANTHA LARUSSO HUGS THROUGH THE SERIES COBRA KAI

[sssssssim]

[deaf-goat]

mismag 2 theory abt the origins of the well

my theory is that magic USED to be accessible for everyone until someone(s) made the decision to shield it from the majority of the world (maybe some catastrophic magic shiz happened), and in order to pull that off they had to construct a place for excess magic to collect and compound (the well)

so when our guys tried to spread magic to the world again, SURE, everybody can SEE magic is there now, but you can’t dismantle such an elaborate machine just by sharing information. i’d even go so far as to say that’s an intentional failsafe that whoever made the well built into the system

and speaking of failsafes, i’m pretty sure the storm serpent is another one, meant to protect the well

The moment Robby became Team Captain, I knew he would get hurt and Miguel would take his place. I didn't know how when I watched part 2 but I knew Robby wouldn't win the Sekai Taikai and I thought I would hate it.

But the way they made it play out was so good and so important for all the characters.

It was good for Miguel's character development to step aside and be a friend, a supporter, accepting that the spotlight isn't on him though he equally deserved it but he was too much of a big character to be sidelined in the final season so I just knew he would win that tournament and it clicked the moment the host said: "If Cobra Kai doesn't come up with a replacement." and there was Tory, alone without a Sensei though her Sensei was cheering for her from the shadows. There was a Miguel full of rage for his brother who got cheated and hurt. There was a Sensei with a dream and unfinished business for his own full circle, his dojo, the name of the show: Cobra Kai.

I took a shower after E13 to calm me down and there it clicked: If Johnny wins as Sensei of Cobra Kai, HIS dojo is redeemed.

And then we had this so very important moment for Johnny, seeing Robby in the same place Daniel was in because of him 35 years ago. Though it was Cobra Kai who hurt Daniel back then, Johnny got his win cheated away from him by Kreese's methods and lack of faith in his abilities and he dumped him for being second place. But here he had the chance to be the father he needed back then. The one who says I love you and I am proud of you.

And (yes I'm in tears while typing this) Tory and Robby got their win after all. The big win. Robby got his dad and his girlfriend and he got a future in Karate next to his love and with the sponsorship, they are standing next to each other as winners. He won big time.

This is the face of a winner!

And Axel won too in the end. He lost but he lost with honor. He was the puppy that got kicked too many times and he had enough. (big puppy.. big big puppy.)

And then Johnny.... Johnny's final fight. He did not just see Robby in Daniel's position, he got to be in Daniel's place in the end. Facing a stronger opponent with a no mercy mentality, but this time, he had the right people in his corner. He got the Miyagi treatment through Daniel plus Daniel as a friend who was so much in his corner he put on that gi. (He's literally pushing them away to get to his Johnny Lawrence world champion okay. This is is Daniel LawRusso, everyone.)

The took back Cobra Kai and everything it did to them in the past and own it. They are Cobra Kai now and they won! On all ends, they won!

Print this on my tombstone.

Cobra Konundrums Episode Idea 1

Sam: *bursts into Robby’s room* YOU!

Robby: Hmm?

Sam: Stop stealing my dad.

Robby: *takes long sip of ice tea*…no.

Sam: You son of a BITCH-

Robby: LET ME HAVE THIS!

Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 finale prediction:

just before landing the winning kick against Robby, Kwon instead helps him up and they kiss in front of everyone while in live TV. Kwon confesses that he was jealous of Tory for having been with Robby but didn't know how to deal with his feelings so he just started flirting with her instead. Robby says that he was jealous too but not because Tory was with another guy, but because he didn't get to be the one who got to date Cobra Kai's new cute top student. They start wildly making out in the middle of the Sekai Taikai mats while everyone just stares at them for a while. But then Tory gets inspired and seeks out Sam. They start kissing too. Hawk shrugs, accepting his destiny, and grabs Demetri and they start making out as well. Johnny turns to Daniel, asking if "everyone is just gay now" before they confess their over 30 years lasting yearning for one another. That's when Kreese takes out the knife we see in the trailer, but instead of attacking anyone he uses it on himself. No one notices.

edit: seems like I was A LITTLE incorrect...

My favorite team.

[farfromstrange]

IWTV spoilers, but.

Daniel Malloy really said ‘fuck you, Armand’, exposed 70+ years of lies and ended their relationship. Wouldn’t surprise me if he tweeted #teamloustat before Armand turned him, either. Good for him honestly. Good for him.

(more rambling in the tags)

[ultrapoppet]

There is an interesting dynamic between Daniel and Louis when he is talking about his experience in Paris and Daniel brings up the massacre of Algerians. I’ve seen people call it Daniel’s white audacity, to argue with Louis’s lived experience as a black man.

But the other side to this is that Daniel is right. It’s another example of Louis not caring about what’s going on with the humans around him. I think we misunderstand Louis’s moral qualms about killing as empathy, but we’re shown explicitly that he gave no fucks about the horrors of world war 2. Even when it involved people that I thought he’d care about because he was friendly with. He also laughs about Armand killing some his human artist “friends”.

Or see how distasteful he finds the theater troupes extravagant killing, even though they are eating the aristocratic rich as was the French way. Meanwhile Louis goes on to hunt the vulnerable gay population because he is hung up on his ex. Which he then repeats in San Francisco.

I think a lot of Louis’s decisions gets hand waved away as him not being in his right mind because he is constantly surrounded by the horrors (partially because he is sexually attracted to the horrors). But it is a pattern of Louis that while he is not actively cruel like the other characters in this show, he doesn’t actually care that much about other people as long as he gets his. He was a pimp as a human and admits to exploiting a vulnerable population to keep his family’s wealth. And after he becomes a vampire, he doesn’t think he’s part of humanity anymore and sees people as other so their problems are not his problem.

Even when he is super guilt ridden over the massacre of black community in New Orleans and makes a speech to Lestat about how they’re so different, he goes to turn one black girl knowing that her age will cause her to have a bad time as a vampire but he doesn’t care. And then supposedly doesn’t do anything else? This may just be because they were short on time and didn’t show it because it was irrelevant. I’m sure as a rich progressive poc gay couple, Loumand made sizable donations to various charities (while also making bribes to the UAE government and using slave labor, because they’re billionaires). So maybe he donated money for rebuilding. But I think that’s the last time he feels any connection to humans.

I don’t know but this type of imperfections are what makes Louis interesting to me. Or like the fact that he is a pretentious snob about art (who grew up rich?) but is pretty mediocre at making it and that’s why he goes on to have a very successful career selling art to other pretentious snobs.

Like those details make a much more interesting character to me than the depressed and reactionary victim Louis that the fandom mostly talks about. Which I personally kind of find boring as I’ve yapped about before. But I think the show version of Louis is actually way more interesting than the fandom version and I sometimes mistake the two. Like he is still very depressed and way less extra and vampiric and monstrous than other characters, but he seems the most human and that adds interesting layers to him that are more subtle.

Sam and Daniel in "Covenant"

[impressionism]

Dude.

What did I watch??!

That entire segment of post Louis attacking Daniel and Armand coming in up to when Louis recounts being out in the sun… the lack of breathing and movement from me… shook.

Geez this entire episode was just visceral. Great acting all around, amazing chemistry, the writing, Luke was amaaaaazing as young Daniel.

I’m so speechless like I need to go outside to touch grass but the boogeyman is out there but I’d risk it! This episode changed my brain chemicals in a similar way that Possession (1981) has and I’ll be thinking of it for the rest of the week.

Daniel’s torture, Louis on literal fire, Dubai!Daniel who just wants to fucking understand, Armand who we know is fucking powerful and scary but my God… and that longing, that longing Louis has for Lestat. And these beats of silence and understanding between Daniel and Louis is just 👏🏽

This show is the epitome of beauty, tragedy and horror.

I love this show.
