Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Watching Among the Lotus Eaters, and I did not think Ortegas could become hotter. Two phaser shots proved me WRONG

FULLY VOICED METEOR IMPACT TIME TO DIE AGAIN

6x13 Mixed Feelings is such a funny episode. you've got your A plot with Hen and Karen finding out about Denny's secret visits with his biological father. good, standard stuff, dramatic, all fine. then you've got your B plot with Maddie and Chim's zany coupon-forging neighbor. not great but like, not the worst comedic 911 subplot. then you've got your C plot with Buck's math superpowers(???) in which it's revealed that Eddie regularly attends a secret poker game with the FIRE CHIEF???? and that plot ends with Buck and Chris baking cookies and having dinner together (where is Eddie? doesn't matter, chris is with his other parent). THEN you have the Bathena D plot which is just about them going on a run together and having shower sex. episode of all time.

a major problem that im having is that there is no quake spinoff. like, daisys story is insane in agents of shield, they did so much with her and everyone elses character. but she deserves to get a really character focused show of her own like agent carter and jessica jones were for those characters.

give me the daisy johnson story dammit.

have been thinking about the recent interview about the mighty nein animated series where it was mentioned that the series as a whole would be more of a departure and that vox machina s3 is a similar change versus the more canon retelling they started with in s1 and i’ve seen some negative reactions to it but honestly i’m Psyched to hear that is a change they’ve committed to in their writing and storytelling for the animated series because like. we have the campaigns. and for me the moments in the animation that have fallen the most flat or haven’t felt as fulfilling is when the show has tried to capture the Same Thing as the campaign without having the hundreds of hours of context that supported the moment in the campaign that made it Significant. and it is much much more exciting for me to have a changed story that is changed because it is now. a episodic television show and not a recording of actors playing dnd. like . yes actually Please change the storylines to be storylines and not the whims of game players. yes actually please make a good story in the medium it’s being told in.

As an angst enthusiast, I just wanna say that TLP episode 13 is peak masterclass angst. It was deliciously done. As someone who read the novel and knew what to expect from the scenes, seeing the episode being a continuation of the angst that started from the last part of episode 12, I thought I already prepared enough for a rainfall of angst in this ep but wow, that ep was insanely good. The chapters covering eps 12-13 are considered to be the peak angst in the entire novel and reading them is already painful enough. But to see it in action is 10x painful coz you can actually see and empathize more with the characters when they're feeling sad or in pain. And FB as AnilPin delivered probably one of the best heartbreaking scenes I've seen in a while in dramas. You can literally feel the heart break of two lovers whose love is being denied by most people in their circle just because their love is deemed unacceptable during that time. The range of emotions on this entire ep is sooo on point, it is a literal ride on the angst train. Do I watch it again? Yes, coz I'm a sucker for angst 🫣😅

i saw a review that called season 2 of sweet tooth "too confined" and maybe it's just me but i feel like that's misidentifying what's actually a strength of the show. in an era where streaming series that try to Go Bigger and do as much as possible in their second seasons out of fear of not getting renewed again frequently result in bloated, poorly-paced messes that speedrun plotlines without giving them room to breathe, having a season of tv that focuses very tightly on playing out and resolving the problems established by the prior season is fucking refreshing.

[rooksunday]

all of star wars (books specifically) is that episode when a previously background character gets a speedrun in personal development and insight in order to make you more invested in their death and i KNOW it does that but by golly i sob every time
