River & Amy | Doctor Who 5x05

no!!!!!! 8 episodes will kill patient!!!!!!!! he needs 12-24 episodes some of which is light-hearted filler to live!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs Flood being Susan would be really funny tho. Because you have Susan Triad: this perfect, lovely peoples person who wants to help everyone, dangled as Susan. She has dreams! Could be fobwatched! The Doctor's wonderful lovely perfect granddaughter returned!

But Susan wasn't a perfect person. So instead it's the woman who can be sharp, blunt, and even a little bit mean. But who is also mischievous and fun when she wants to be. Someone who's just a bit odd. All of which, imo, can be very Susan.

Someone who has clearly lived a life. Sitting at the sidelines being enigmatic as hell. Her grandfather's granddaughter. Just think It'd be such a good twist

"You don't alway have to be the hero! It doesn't always have to be you!"

You cannot convince me that Macaque isn't at least partially talking to Wukong during this whole exchange. He's trying so hard to keep the past from repeating itself and letting another person he's come to care for become a self-sacrificial idiot.

don't touch me I'm gonna cry-

[bisexualenbyblueberry]

i know we've got something going on rn but finnegrin's wake is actually so funny in retrospect. like they really said we WILL give you the most intense and violent and angsty episodes of the arc so far if not of the entire show and we ARE going to make it an amalgamation of two different overcommitments to pop culture references

Since it seems everyone is in jlars analysis mode, I wanted to know your thoughts on this- some time was spent in James's 72 Seasons interview discussing the greater amount of collaboration on 72 Seasons and specifically how it was a divergence from a creative process mostly guided by James and Lars as a pair. I was intrigued by James saying "I don’t want to sit there with Lars and create the songs anymore" and that "Lars eventually understood" why James was looking for this greater collaboration (which indicates some hesitation on Lars's part). Steffan said he was going to ask Lars what that process was like, but he didn't really und up question Lars about it directly in his interview. If you had to make an inference, what do you think Lars's reaction was like considering how much of their relationship (and trust) has been entangled in this exclusive, special creative process of theirs?

Really nice question! In Italy we have a saying "come invitare un'oca a bere" (lit: almost like asking/inviting a duck to drink) meaning line, hook, sinker, here is my opinion fhkjkshdkfjhskfhsdfkj

Sorry if this wasn't the answer you expected.

You can see that post HQ, post St. Anger, when they are in the middle of the creative process (not the recording), they are all there -more or less, Kirk's lost phone and other shenanigans. If you open up a random Mission Metallica vid, you'll see the four of them there discussing riff placements and stuff. So, again, it's not a shocking reality, it has def not been James-and-Lars in Lars' basement for a while now. But I too I was interested in how James worded this approach, the fact he took on the responsibility of ensuring that every opinion got heard.

Long story short: I don't think it was a big shake for Lars.

Long story long:

I remember reading that part of James' interview and going "oh?", because even if the opening up process is years in the making, it feels a bit new in the how it's enforced.

It's a new approach, for sure, and Metallica always tries new ways.

"Lars eventually understood" to me is not dramatic or angsty. I don't think it was something he need to understand on an emotional level, more... pragmatically.

There is this quote that I dont have handy but it's basically Lars saying that sometimes he gets frustrated when there is someone else beside them in the creative process, because it feels like even if the song is on step one, when James and Lars talk about it, they are already 3-4 steps ahead but on the same step. [end of paraphrasing]

So, when they talk, they are already there on step 5, and some one would be like "wait, what?" and they have to stop, turn and explain etc etc. This feels frustrating for him, bc it takes time and interrupts the flow. Lars is a bit... idk if you noticed... eager, impatient fjdhfjksfhkd he frowns, he pouts and he is bouncing on his seat if you dont get it and you are interrupting what should be already be going going going.

Imagine that kid at school that when the teacher asks a question to a classmate, after 5 seconds of silence they speak up and answer instead, bc c'moooon, let's move on, they don't knowwww. That hfdsjhfjsdfhjfh sometimes Lars looks like that.

And, I mean, I get it? He has been doing this since forever, he knows how to do it, how to do it well, and has a set of tools to work out every musical problem under the sun. So if you know that, for that specific thing, you need that specific spanner, you say so and move on, because that's the way you've always solved that issue. James wanted to try new stuff, new points of view, so basically they tried every spanner or wench or whatever to see if alternative creative solutions would be better. I can see why at first could feel like a drag.

IMHO, that was the obstacle, and that's what Lars had to accept.

For the "I don’t want to sit there with Lars and create the songs anymore" part, there is an asterisk, like, it's implied "... like we used to". And I get that, to create different music you have to try different things. Also, Metallica doesn't like getting too comfortable, and what's more comfortable than doing what you've done since day one?

I talked abt the asterisk, because the album itself is the proof that he didn't mean it literally. Big ass example: Inamorata.

Who is credited for Inamorata? Who listened via zoom to that haunting riff and said "wait, what's that"?

To sum it up: I don't think Lars had to compromise nothing more than his patience fhdkshfkjsdf and I dont think he considers Kirk and Rob outsiders of the creative process, they don't waltz at the same speed and tempo he and James do, yeah, but I don't think he lives it as an intrusion or something like that. Especially nowadays he is more calm and chill, I think he was just struggling against his innate instinct to waltz right through the process with James like they have fun doing, but in the meantime maybe they all learned some new moves!
