initial thoughts on DCAS episode 11
Tumblr media
oh my god
Tumblr media
i had already guessed that Alec was lying (much like Jake did), but this was a really nice explanatory touch! Alec and Riya's friendship is, as usual, one of the season highlights for me.
Tumblr media
would've been a lot more interesting if the campers could have chosen their own partners in one way or another, imo, but that would definitely eat up a lot of time in an already packed episode. plus, some pairings (like Connor and Riya) probably couldn't have happened this way, given how Riya wound up reacting to Connor.
Tumblr media
"alright Fiore, here's how we prevent you from going home this week," one could say.
Tumblr media
i was SO worried that Alec was going to have another confessional at some point being like "lol i was testing my acting skills on Fiore too" but he DIDN'T. which means this is CANON. THE ADOPTION IS BACK ON!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
okay, i actually love the decision to pair Hunter and Grett together here. both of them are the "very flawed but kinda mistreated partner of their appearances-obsessed date," so it makes sense that Hunter could give Grett a good perspective on this. also, is it just me, or did they rework Hunter's personality in this episode to be more like S2? i liked it.
Tumblr media
i'm going to put every Fiore and Alec moment in this post and you can't stop me. i am initially thinking about them.
Tumblr media
"joke's on you fucker i didn't teach her literally any of this. she's just built different."
Tumblr media
as much as i enjoy Alec appreciating his daughter's sass, this does seem like a pretty radical heel turn from "i only voted Connor out of this game because it was what was best for him." i guess maybe spending time with Riya and the other villains has caused Alec to fall further off the deep end/forget about Connor's genuinely nice qualities...? or it's inconsistency between different writers, who knows.
Tumblr media
i am 0% a jul(?) shipper, but, damn, the jul shippers were eating well this episode.
Tumblr media
Yul is such an interesting little guy.
Tumblr media
James flexing his character arc, we love to see it.
Tumblr media
WHAT IS IT WITH THE CYAN WOMEN AND SECRETLY BEING JACKED????
Tumblr media
society..... it's becoming more utopian........
Tumblr media
see, this is why i didn't think Tess would be the one to return to the game.
Tumblr media
Aiden is such a hater, i love him. but, overall, i agree with Lake. we're definitely sowing the seeds for a Jake redemption(/winner?) arc and a heroes' reunion.
Tumblr media
Riya, finally finishing what she started in S2 of making the gays fall off cliffs.
Tumblr media
villains are so fun. i love villains.
Tumblr media
THE SOFT DAD SMILE IS BACK :D
Tumblr media
ooh, nice callback.
Tumblr media
this is an objectively funny screenshot. why does Alec yell like that
Tumblr media
what a surprising outcome! (/s /lh)
Tumblr media
:,) <3
Tumblr media
i wish Aiden and James had more of an opportunity to talk during this episode :/ it's fine, though-- i think that James and Lake's characters were used more effectively this way.
Tumblr media
they're getting back together after this trust me guys i'm disventure camp
Tumblr media
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
Tumblr media
they truly are family now. i love it.
Tumblr media
"not that bad" is a weird way to describe your would-be crush.
Tumblr media
this will be a fun scene! idk which episode "Saturday" will be, though. both because idk how many days will pass in any given episode and also bc i don't recall which day today is in canon.
Tumblr media
i do wonder what evil Gabby is doing here. i guess maybe it'll just be the side of Gabby that wants to run with the villains alliance for power vs the side that wants to follow Ellie's advice? that seems kind of weird. maybe it'll be more like the side that wants to go mad with power on the revenge quest vs Gabby's more rational and strategic side? either way, strange cliffhanger.
can't we just have everyone here... always... all the time...? no? okay :( well, it was still really nice to get the whole gang back together for this episode. i'll look forward to seeing them again in the finale.
and, hey, Connor's back in the game now! and he can't be eliminated next episode, at least. are there going to be three players with immunity...? that could get spicy. we'll see how the heroes and villains smack down when the next real elimination rolls around. back up to ten to nine again... see you next time!

celebration, 2x01 succession / jennifer s. cheng, so we must meet apart; “august 24, 2018” / all the bells say, 3x09 succession
#hbo succession#web weaving#mini web weaving my beloved <3#feeling normal about shiv roy succession and her grief in this chilis tonight#idk if the screenshots highlight what i want to highlight but i can't stop thinking about like#kendall and rome holding each other together#while shiv visibly takes several steps across the room the moment her tears start to swell#and it's not even to cry in private she literally spends the whole time standing there before tom comes up trying to pull herself together#and she Does#crying is clearly something not allowed in the roy household a la season 1 episode fucking 1 to kendall#and i'm sure the boys especially weren't allowed to cry because they were Boys#but at the same time?? i'm sure every time shiv cried as a child oh it's to be expected from the only girl#and if she ever wanted to compete with her brothers not only could she not cry she had to cry even less than they did#because she was set off from the starting line behind them from the get go#if she ever wanted to compete with her brothers she couldn't just be like them she had to be Better she had to be Worse#she had to make it up to her dad for being a woman and it's why she in so many ways is the most like logan out of all his kids#it's why out of connor and kendall and roman i imagine she'll be the hardest to wrangle out of this race logan's put them in#connor's basically been out since pre canon even if he peeks back in every once in a while it's not with any real conviction to the game#3x01 phone conversation logan calling connor his number one and connor's specific reaction i am looking at you#all of canon so far has been ken's journey sort of unravelling from it all both by choice and not#but i feel like after 3x08 it would... be surprising if he ever plays again. like he might idk but i can't see that conviction ever returnin#roman's desire for their father's love and approval was literally thrown back in his face right in front of him lol#and i feel like he's never been in the game not truly. he never really tried to care about Business as much as learned which hoops#he should be jumping through if he has a chance at his father's love#but shiv. like i guess we'll see in season 5 but i. am imaging many scenarios in which logan gets a facefull of his own medicine hsdfkjs#like she is her father' daughter this is who he made in his image and she is just as angry and spiteful and bitter as he is#i would like to see it. also i hate it#also i want to see her crumble like a little leaf and ugly cry like kendall's gotten to on multiple occasion etc#i want to die btw
