So glad Doctor Who saw the "death of the filler" thing most series have going on and said "actually, fuck this, let's do an ep about aliens cosplaying bridgerton".

okay but episode 9 of queen of tears is a lot about family and i think the commentary on all 3 families is super cool.
You see the Baek family just slowly integrate the Hong family into their lives. Feeding them, taking care of them, welcoming them when they get home. When Hyunwoo and Haein coming back from the hospital and everyone is like "let's go eat now” and they all walk back home together. Plus you see how supportive the community like the nephew promising Haein not to tell anybody or the grandma comforting aunty Beomja.
Then you see the Hong family realizing they don't have real friends as everyone has turned their back on them. Friends, lovers, they don't have anyone and they don't know how to comfort each other. Haein struggles to comfort Soocheol after his wife ran off, the father doesn't know how to reassure his own family. They are very much a family that doesn't know how to be a family.
Lastly is Eunsong and his mom which is unsurprisingly more fucked up than Haein's family. Abandoning your son for 25 years just so you can climb the social latter is crazy but getting shocked that he doesn't listen to you or respect you is crazier. Also the son is crazy he needs to be hit with a brick.

im rereading one piece (i'll watch certain arcs too as i get into OP again)
and man i forget how much i loved the baratie arc especially seeing how luffy and sanji first interact... "i refuse your refusal!" is so good and while bickering like an old married couple, they both yell at gin simultaneously i love them so much

i wish people would at least acknowledge that the reason tv shows used to have 20+ episodes per season was bc networks wanted to sell commercial slots over 20+ weeks, not for like. love of the game character development or w/e
