Emily of New Moon Chapter 1

Here I am slinking in a day late, but I brought coffees for all!

I did read it yesterday, I just couldn't write my thoughts coherently. My spoon level is low lately, so here are some bullet points:

I thought it was interesting that the Emily book starts elsewhere than New Moon. Anne is dropped upon us already orphaned and at the train station on PEI (although in the 1985 version we got a glimpse of the lumber camp). We are seeing what she has lost

Rachel Lynde and Ellen Greene in their grumpiness and lack of hesitation to speak their minds make great info dumpers- much more direct than a drawing room tea scene infodump.

Ellen keeps giving Emily food as treats, but none of it is food that Emily actually likes. I think I'm turning into an Ellen apologist, because she's trying.

My favorite quote: "But to be alone, ah Emily shivered with the delicious horror of it." It made me think of Horrid Novels in Northanger Abbey, but instead of Mysteries of Udolpho, Emily is reading Pilgrim's Progress. It's not very lurid, but probably more age appropriate. Tying back to the first bullet point, I think of the Northanger quote: "If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad." However, abroad is all relative and Emily seemed to have plenty of adventure at her home walking in the woods. It's setting up the contrast of LMM wanting to write purely Canadian heroines and Emily's rejection of working in Boston later on.

Episode 8 was so fun!

Also angel Pentious would absolutely complain that he misses his Eggs at least 10 times a day.

You gotta hand it to Fig. All of the Bad Kids were given foils this season and they got to decide how much they wanted to engage with that part of the plot. Gorgug only interacted with Mary Ann in passing despite them both being on the Owlbears. Fabian noped out of chatting up Ivy once she crossed a line with Mazey. Riz was so busy that he truly had no time to engage with Kipperlilly even though she's obsessed with him. Kristen interacted a bit with Buddy but spent way more time verbally sparring with Kipperlilly. And Adaine was somewhat interested in Oisin but never overtly acted on it.

But Fig?

She's in Ruben's WALLS. She's in his DREAMS. She's faking her alter emo's death. She's got the Fantasy FBI after her. She's SO SO tiny. No one is doing it like Fig's doing it.

Can we talk about this frame in the angels "if hell is forever then heaven is a lie" song.

If the fire wasn't burning in the reflection of her eyes, then she would look almost innocent. This small detail says a lot, and it was added there for a reason.

AND ZAC OYAMA JOINS THE RANKS OF PLAYERS THAT READ THE FUCKING BOOK, BRENNAN

This scene means so much for the rest of the show. The fact that Pentious made it to heaven not only means that sinners can be redeemed but also that the winners can fall. I am 100% calling it now, we are going to see Adam in hell for the way he acted.
