Mayans M.C. - 05x01 and 05x02

Thoughts, spoilers, and predictions behind the cut.

Please note, these are mostly just the ramblings of a lunatic. *waves* That'd be me.

Well. For fuck's fucking sakes. I had no idea about the premier until yesterday morning, because that is just how little I paid attention to the announcement. (I saw it posted, but if I checked for a date... Psssh... I certainly didn't remember it!).

Anyhow. Two-episode premiers kill me, and not in a good way. I'm exhausted, but that means the episodes held my attention well enough to keep me awake, so. That said, let me try and recall everything that I had wanted to say.

Okay, right off the bat:

The coffin in the previews. I haven't gone back to pause and take a head count, but I'd bet money that that's going to Alvarez in there, when the time comes. If not Alvarez, then Angel, but that's a sleek-looking casket. I just have a bad feeling for the both of them, because, as of right now, they are the only two who seem to be seeing reason. There are logical reasons why it wouldn't be Alvarez (mostly that I can't see his Mrs. just letting the Club have his body for that, unless he gets pulled back in). It's just a sinking feeling I have.

Alvarez. Since I've already brought him up... NEW BABY! YAY! But, it's clear that The World is weighing on him. I was quite surprised when he yelled at Santi, because he's been shown as such a good father. Then... Well. We all remember what happened with Esai. ANYHOW. Alvarez is one of the few characters I still stand behind. I want him to be able to retire in TRUE peace. My fear is that, if he goes down, his family will go with him, and I just don't want that.

Angel. I got A Bad Feeling while he was talking with Felipe, because that's usually the way. A man tries to do better for his family, and for himself, and he gets taken out. (Still a little sore over Coco). I fear that Angel will have this big redemption arc, only to have his heart broken, and then shot to shreds. It always takes something serious for the Main Dude to come around to reason, and become complete unhinged, at the same time. Much as I want to strangle the little bitch... I don't want Angel to be EZ's awakening.

EZ. I've been done with that motherfucker for at least two seasons. Not much has changed there.

Bishop. He's right. EZ will get them all killed. If not, then at least a few steps closer to the grave, each. Bishop can be the last man standing. I also hope he chokes on a cunt hair, stepping out on a nice lady like that. Shame on him.

Miguel. I like this man, and I think that's because I'm entirely partial to Danny Pino. He has a Good Boy face, and plays a Bad Dude so well. (I first saw him on The Shield, back in the early 2000's, playing Armadillo Quintero, and it was all uphill from there). ANYWAY. I wouldn't mind him getting a happy-ish ending. The fact that he's quietly trying to protect Little Brothers in the middle of a war just tickles me. When Soledad told him to cut his sentimental ties (or however she phrased that one), I snickered. The mess with his wife, on the other hand... I have to admit, I don't much care. His trip to the urinal, though... That scene brought me great joy.

Emily. This broad. She hasn't been a worthwhile character in so long? She could have disappeared from the show, and I wouldn't have given a damn. Pretty clear where this is going to go, now that she is - once again - down and desperate for help. I just never understood the point of her character. She's so far removed from EZ now, the road to getting them back into the same orbit is just going to suck.

Creeper. CAN THIS MAN PLEASE CATCH A FUCKING BREAK?! The poor bastard is the MC piñata, both physically and emotionally taking beatings left and right. CRIPES, y'all. Give the dude a break! I hope his little backstabbing bitch gets what's coming to her, one way or another.

Hank. My heart went out to him, last night. Doing what's best for our parents can sometimes suck. Hard. Aging is a gift denied to many, but the process can sometimes be ugly as sin. I felt Hank's pain on a personal level, as my own parents aren't in the best of health, and one of my greatest fears as a future caregiver is that I will have to make one of those Tough Calls. All the same, I saw some negative reactions toward him 'just leaving her there', and that made me mad. We all know how much Hank adores his mother. He's not in the best of shape himself, what with the cane, and picking up someone who takes a fall? Not as easy as it sounds. Ugh. It had to have been tearing him up inside, so I hope some folks can wake up to see that he isn't a bad guy for doing what he had to do for his mother. Shitty situation. Shitty choice to make. Shitty outcome.

Letty. Girlfriend. SO HAPPY to see she's still around. I thought that they might write her out, to be perfectly honest. While her new career choice is... interesting, to say the least, I am glad to see that she and Hope have worked themselves out. I don't care much for Hope's character. (She's a bit flat for me, personality-wise). But, I don't hate her. So. There is that.

Whew. That was a lot. But, that brings me to my final point:

HOW MANY STORYLINES DO WE REALLY NEED?! I feel that certain threads of this series could have been so much better if they had eased off on branching off in so many places. We don't get to spend much time on anything (except that thrice-be-damned pipeline), and the story really does suffer for it. I understand the concept of wide, wild visions for telling a tale. Believe me, I do. But this series lacks focus, unable to find a balanced manner of storytelling. It's fragmented, and rushed, and I know I complained about it last season, as well. I'm still watching. I'm going to finish it, God willing. But there was definite room for improvement on this one.

Bonus Thoughts:

"Put them back on the truck", and the resulting groans. Angel's reaction, especially. PERFECTION.

Angel's pooch encounter was also hysterical. 10/10.

I MAY HAVE MOMENTARILY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE BROTHER THING. I was enjoying the delicious tension between Miguel and EZ for a hot minute, before it all came back to me. (I did that in the first season of Supernatural, too. Came in toward the end of the season, and thought Dean and John had some sexy friction between them, until my husband finally said, "HE'S THEIR FATHER!!!!"... Whoopsies...).

Unpopular Opinion: This Guero dude is already on my nerves. Sorry. Obnoxious as hell, he is.

I'm glad Felipe is getting to spend time with Maverick. (Oh, gag, that name...).

P.S. Hats off to Clayton Cardenas for the scene with the intruders. Angel isn't one to shrink back in fear, bullheaded as he is, but I could taste the terror on him when he found his son in danger. Mm. Delicious work, there.

June 2024 Reading Wrap-Up

Wow, two months in a row where I read very few dark books.

Stand Out Books from June The Framed Women of Ardmore House by Brandy Schillace I loved every minute of this book. I saw the plot twist coming, but in the best sort of way. It has an incredibly well written autistic main character who is just, like, a person, rather than making being autistic her entire character like happens a lot. If you love BBC mysteries, this is for you.

Fourth Wing by Rebeca Yarros This was another one of those booktok books that I was a little hesitant to get into, but certainly sounded like it was made for me and whoo boy was it. It's definitely New Adult, so not for anyone who doesn't like modern idiom in their "medieval" fantasy novels, but I flew through this doorstopper and can't wait for the next one to come in from the library.

Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, trans. W.S. Kuniczak This was on my list as a Nobel Prize winning author pick and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. It's a well researched novel that centers Ancient Rome and early Christianity that really makes all of these historical figures feel like people.

What I'm Reading Now I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad and honestly, I'm super surprised at what I didn't know about this classic text. It's such a small slice of the larger story of the Trojan War. I also finally got Floating Hotel back from the library, so I'm looking forward to finishing that. I just started The Monuments Men by Robert Edsel. I saw the movie when it came out (I was in a Museum Studies masters program, so duh) and so far it's interesting and readable and making me think about things like disaster planning in my field and where it came from.

What I'm Looking Forward to in July The new Lady Darby Mystery just came out, so I'm hoping that comes in at the library. Also the last novel in Megan O'Keefe's Devoured Worlds series, which I have been super looking forward to - if the library would go ahead and get it already! My Up Next list has gotten a bit long, so I'm going to try to finish up some of the series, and several of the new manga volumes I've been waiting on are heading my way from the library, so that will help a lot.

Reading Challenges I'm still on track for my Book Riot Read Harder challenge! Fourth Wing counted for 12. a genre book by a disabled author, and I read Photographic: The Life of Graciela Iturbide by Isabel Quintero and Zeke Peña for 15., a YA nonfiction book. This coming month, I'm planning on Walking to Aldebaran by Adrian Tchaikovsky for 9. a book recommended by a librarian (hat tip to Elodieunderglass) and maybe picking something up for 17. a book about media literacy, which feels... timely. Send me recommendations if you have any!

Tjon En Fa loopt PanAm brons mis op 200m sprint

Jaïr Tjon En Fa zag zijn kans voor brons op de 200 m sprint, tijdens voortzetting van de Pan-Amerikaanse baanwielrenkampioenschappen in Los Angeles Californië zaterdag, in rook opgaan. De Surinamer verloor de strijd om de 3e/4e plek na een beslissende 3e ronde van de Colombiaan Santiago Ramirez. Tjon En Fa pakte ronde 1 en leek daarmee goed op weg naar prolongatie van zijn bronzen medaille, welke hij vorig jaar in San Juan Argentinië op bovengenoemd onderdeel wist te winnen. Ramirez counterde echter sterk terug in de resterende 2 ronden en dompelde de Surinamer daarmee in ‘rouw’. Het was niet Tjon En Fa’s beste optreden tijdens het regionaal toernooi. Te bedenken dat hij vorig jaar zilver (keirin) en brons (200m sprint) won. Eerder finishte hij op het onderdeel keirin bij deze editie overall als 7e. Trainingspartner Nicholas Paul (Trinidad en Tobago) daarentegen maakte geen fout en prolongeerde net als bij de keirin ook op het sprint onderdeel zijn gouden plak. De Trinidadiaan ontdeed zich in de finale na 2 ronden van de Colombiaan Cristian Ortega. Laatstgenoemde was in de halve finalestrijd in 2 ronden sterker dan Tjon En Fa, terwijl Paul zich eveneens na 2 ronden in de andere halve finale van Ramirez ontdeed. Tjon En Fa begon de dag door in de kwartfinale Kevin Quintero (Colombia) te verslaan. Het werd een clean sweep (2-0) voor de Surinaamse baanwielrenner. Dalger Landgenoot Tachana Dalger kwam zaterdag in actie op het onderdeel 500 m tijdrit. De beste 8 kwalificeerden zich voor de finale. Jammer genoeg gelukte het de Surinaamse niet zich voor het slotstuk te kwalificeren. Overall registreerde Dalger de 10e beste tijd van 14 deelnemers (36.142 seconden). Ze haalde een gemiddelde snelheid van 49.804 km/per uur. De Trinidadiaanse Makaira Wallace finishte als 9e voor Dalger in een tijd van 35.946 seconden. Titelverdedigster Martha Bayona uit Colombia noteerde de snelste tijd (33.832 seconden) met een gemiddelde snelheid van 53.204 km/per uur. Bayona werd opgevolgd door Jessica Salazar (Mexico/34.691 seconden). De Mexicaanse is nog altijd wereldrecordhoudster (gevestigd in 2016 toen zij een tijd van 32.268 registreerde). Salazar finishte vorig jaar als 3e op dit onderdeel tijdens de Pan-Amerikaanse baankampioenschappen in San Juan, Argentinië. Uiteindelijk wist Bayona haar eretitel met succes te verdedigen door in de finale 33.494 seconden te klokken. Ze versloeg Salazar (34.519 seconden) en Emily Hayes uit de Verenigde Staten van Amerika (34.923 seconden). Read the full article

Here Are Some of the Best Body Positive Books You Can Read

[via Book Riot]

Body positivity, fat activism, and other body-driven political movements require work, and they can sometimes verge on policing feelings one has about their body. Take these books slow, take notes, highlight, underline, and journal. What do they make you think about? How do they make you feel? None of these books, despite being excellent, will have all of the answers. But it’s through interacting with them actively one becomes better aware of—and more involved with—their own bodies, as well as the bodies of every other human and non-human around them.
