#episodes building on each other

[exhuastedpigeon]

You know what I really want from season 7? I want another Buddie blow up like the grocery store.

I want Eddie, whose done a whole lot of healing to yell at Buck that Buck needs to be back in therapy because he died and of course that's going to change him but he doesn't even recognize Buck sometimes anymore because Buck won't let Eddie in.

I want Buck yelling right back that Eddie's moved on with his life since the shooting, why won't he let Buck do the same after the lightning.

I want angry tears and confessions through gritted teeth. I want everything they've swept under the rug and not talked about to come spilling out in Buck's kitchen.

I want Eddie telling Buck with pain dripping from his voice that "I see you, I've always seen you, but now I don't think I know you anymore. You won't let me know you anymore."

I want Eddie leaving Buck's loft after he says it and tells him that he can still see Christopher, but maybe for now the two of them should just be coworkers because Eddie needs time and space before he can be Buck's best friend because he isn't sure he knows him anymore.

I want Eddie crying in his truck after the conversation and Buck crying on his new couch, clear that he doesn't find it comfortable. I want the episode to end on a shot of both of them crying in their own spaces, so clearly alone.

Then I want the next episode to be so clearly uncomfortable between them. They still work together seamlessly, but that's it. They're awkward and tense around each other, they can't even look at each other between calls. I want it to be 10x more awkward than their first couple shifts together. I want looks exchanged between the members of the 118 when Buck and Eddie aren't looking.

And then I want the episode to end with Eddie pacing around his living room, clearly torn and then grabbing his keys only to open the front door to Buck standing on his doorstep looking at Eddie's house key like he isn't sure he's still allowed to use it.

I want Eddie to hold Buck's face like it's something so fucking special and Buck to do the same. I want a kiss that's biting and angry that melts into something soft and tender.

Cut to them in Eddie's bed, the sheets a mess, the comforter on the ground and Buck says something like "You've always seen me, even the ugly bits that I don't want people to see. That's why I'm so scared"

And then Eddie kisses Buck soft and sweet and says something like, "There's nothing about you that's ugly Buck."

The episode ends with them starting round two.

Charles-Haden Savage found another guy more silent and more loser then him and decided to go for it, bullying Eugene like there is no another day ahead.

And that was H I L A R I O U S !!

not to get sentimental over an anime i just got into but its genuinely so refreshing watching dunmesh. there's no incest, the underage characters aren't sexualized, and most if not all the fan service is of senshi and laios or even chilchuck. this is the bare minimum of making a good anime but it's got me really happy

Something something about the cursed mummy working at a rodeo and the connection to lassos and wrangling bulls and foreshadowing. Something something about buck wearing a moustache when he dresses up as billy boils which connects things to Eddie.

How rodeos are connected to Texas in the general psyche. The idea that Eddie needs to go and wrangle with his bull in the next episode - Helena.

That she has been constantly trying to Buck him off but he needs to hold on in order to break the curse she has been on his life - the play on Buck being a massive support to Eddie - that gives him the strength to stay on and win the fight and pen the bull.

That he needs to break free of that curse in order to transform into his true self and how the werewolf is a representation of that happening and also a foreshadowing for the shaving off of the stache

do you think the reason agatha’s trial felt weird is because she was the only one who did not actually buy into the mythos of the road since she knew the truth? like that was why no perspective change and all the other reasons why people thought it was a fake trial

I don’t know if I think season 4 is as good as 1 and 2 so far, but it’s such a relief to have a season where Mabel doesn’t have a one-off love interest.

Like, by the time we got to Tobert it felt so obvious that both him and his relationship to Mabel wasn’t going to last more than one season, and since he had so little to do with the events of season 3 otherwise I stopped seeing the point in caring about his character. Just like Alice in season 2, and almost Oscar in season 1 who was set up to last so much longer only to be completely written out in the start of season 2. It’s not like romance is everything (certainly not in a crime comedy show) but since Mabel’s love life has had so much screen time it got to the point where I felt the whole show got weaker because of its half-assed portrayal of it. «Either invest properly in a love interest, make them the killer again or just go at least a season without one» is what I thought when I started the new season. 5 episodes in it seems like they’re doing the third and I’ve got to say I’m relieved.

Crazy that amor fati managed to be so shaky and inconsistent while simultaneously holding such a life affirming and tender message by the end that it had me in tears. Mulder choosing the life where he doesnt have all the answers because that in itself is a truth, and thats what life is. The importance of the people you love and who love you in keeping you grounded. The hopefulness of the final shot on the beach. God.

I like how the culmination of QToey isn't a kiss, but a hug.

They may have kissed in a prior episode, but when the moment came for Q to admit his feelings the couple ended up hugging instead. It felt respectful of Q as a character who has difficulty recognizing his feelings and expressing them in traditionally affectionate ways.

Ouhhhh friendship I love friendship……..

rewatching LoK, i'm being reminded how much I dislike the.... the brothers, mako and bolin, yanno? they're such underwhelming characters on basically every level. it'd almost be impressive if they weren't in every episode and didn't annoy me so much ugh

[glimblshanks]

The thing about TNG is that the space aliens and moral quandaries are always like, the least insane part of the episode

[catguangcorner]

boxing arc of LCLA goes crazy tbh we've got qiao ling busting the boys' time shenanigans (and her not believing at first until they prove it via HER being involved in said time shenanigans); we've got cheng xiaoshi's parasocial relationship w his idol shuang hai (man is obsessed); he's shaking crying downing drinks w shuang hai cos said boxing CHAKPION has no one to confide in except two twenty something year olds who did some sleuthing for him; cheng xiaoshi's all like "im your BIGGEST fan why are u being such a LOSER right now 🥲" and lu guang is sitting there quietly except for when scolding cxs for drinking too much too fast 😭😭😭 i love this show

[bizlybebo]

i want to say so bad that xyz character did nothing wrong but unfortunately they did in fact do Everything wrong

[girlwiththegreenhat]

Alright I just rewatched End of Time so it's the perfect time to inflict this on all of you

LISTEN. Ever since I watched Night of the Living Pharmacists I have been thinking about how it's just like the time the Master made himself all the people on Earth. I have no idea what to do with this information.

Also apparently the difference between making everyone in the world clones of yourself intentionally vs. unintentionally is that if you do it intentionally they obey you. Oh and they're not zombies.
