-- Juno Steel, "Juno Steel and the Kitty-Cat Caper Pt.2"

a.k.a. the lines that keep me awake at night.

[aro-geo-turtle]

relistened to juno steel and the kitty cat caper for the first time since my initial listen and wow, in retrospect that first scene sets up everything for season 2. Ramses' promises of hope, his claim that no one can take Hyperion away from its people (despite that being exactly what he ends up doing to juno), ideas of crime and corruption and what makes someone a criminal, then you've got rita talking about Northstar and the Andromeda movies, and juno being really mean and not appreciating her. That's so many of the big pieces of the season laid out right there in the very first scene!

not to mention this whole first case is about a break-in/robbery where nothing seems to be missing...aka exactly what jack did to sarah!!!!!

and while the designer pets aren't actually the same technology, the idea feels similar to the introduction of reanimated Wilco in s4, which of course foreshadows what Dokana's doing in s5!

the writing in this show omg...

[abstract-personnel]

kitty cat caper is the funniest juno steel episode. seasons 4 & 5 WISH they had this replayability.

rita telling juno to take a nap, "you got mick outta all that trouble with the shark!" "it was a loan shark, rita, I paid him!", "pippa's..... a cat..... and you're.... a nut.", "the tuna brick does not LIE, detective. the tuna brick is ABSOLUTE.", saying the cat has a "fist full of knives", "whatcha lookin' at, buddy, you never seen a lady scold a cat before??", noah simes as an insane doctor, "have you ever heard a goldfish scream before?" "mayyybe some other timee...", "when you're as charming as I am, making people want to kill you is just second nature", "if you don't wanna know what impromptu surgery feels like coming from a one-eyed maniac with nothing to lose, doc, I'd recommend you keep quiet", "thought I heard a noise, boss" "it was probably just your two braincells clacking together", "hey! you can't run away while I'm doing a bit!", "hey, watch it buddy, crosswalk's right here!" "no it isn't!", "she threw the cat into the street. she threw. the cat. into the street."

it's so good. and it works so well as the first episode of season two. you go from the big drama and ending of season one to a good old, silly detective story where you can see juno use his brain and his wit

[voids-ideas]

Just piss off everyone until they all want to kill you and then make them fight over the privilege. When you are as charming as I am making people want to kill you is just second nature

The penumbra podcast. 2.01: Juno Steel and the kitty-cat Caper (part 1)

Yes, I love him

Yes, sometimes i want to kill him too

[being-of-rain]

The Juno Steel half of The Penumbra Podcast is definitely my comfort show at the moment. I keep relistening to random episodes, and often delight in finding new details and depths in them. I just toady noticed a parallel between two conversations about motives in season 2.

Ramses and Juno in The Kitty-Cat Caper:

“Your delight at throwing yourself into harm’s way implies more self-loathing than self-sacrifice. Great heroes risk great things, you risk only yourself. And as far as you’re concerned, that’s very little on the line.” “The hell-” “No, you’re not selfless, but you do act selflessly. And I’m afraid that’s all that holds value here. It doesn’t matter why you right your wrongs for any more than it matters why I want to clean this city. Soon we’ll be dead, and corpses don’t have motives. The why dies with us. But what we do, what we make, that stays.”

Jet and Juno in The Monster’s Reflection:

“I find that the way I think of the world often affects how it really is.” “Oh whatever! So you think if you imagine this Hanataba saint doctor, she’ll just poof into existence?” “No. But if I believe there is a Hanataba in the galaxy, it affects how I act. And if my actions affect the galaxy, then that which affects my actions affects the galaxy. Juno, I recommend you believe that you will survive this, for yourself.”

It’s an interesting contrast in ideologies. In addition, both are linked to Juno’s sense of self-worth. The first is when he’s at his lowest (so far), just about to be offered his new eye and start working for O’Flaherty. In the second, he’s taking his first steps to getting better, about to get rid of his eye and then make his way back to Hyperion City. Juno starts off season 2 thinking exactly like O’Flaherty, but by the time they meet in the season’s second half he’s learnt from Jet, and from Buddy and from Rita. He believes his motives matter, because he matters.

Okay so thoughts on the Vanishing Act, now that episode 2 is out:

the juno steel series is so much better when it's a detective story. Why did they spend two seasons playing psychic alien biochemistry robin hood

They played out the awkward scene on stage for long enough that I had to pause it out of sheer embarrassment for a bit. But Juno's improv skills were extremely funny, especially the slipping between the stilted theatricality and Juno's natural case-solving theatricality.

Saying super confidently "the guy shooting at me can't be Peter because Peter loves me and wouldn't shoot me" even if it was technically correct in this situation imo basically guarantees that Peter shoots Juno at some point before the season ends. Juno needs to acquire some genre savvy.

It has been several seasons since Juno had to wearily deal with an array of bizarre suspects. I forgot how much fun it is. I feel like this episode was very reminiscent of the lighter season 1&2 episodes, reminded me of kitty-cat caper or midnight fox

Peter doing his tortured "you think you know me" bit is less effective given that they... were romantically involved and living together for like a year? "You think you know me because you know my name and read my journal" uh no, because you guys had a bunch of heart to hearts while you were space pirates sleeping in the same bed.

Also Juno could read minds for a little while and is therefore a terrible target for a "my backstory was fake" gambit. Did the greatest thief in the solar system just kind of forget about the one time the love of his life got tortured and psychically witnessed his memories of murdering his father.

Okay that being said, the journal was curated, obviously. I think there's a couple reasonable cases you could make for what Peter was going for with the story he told but I am erring on the side of that message being "please stop me." Peter wants to be convinced that there's another way here.

I am very pleased we've looped back around to the cat-and-mouse game that got cut off by martian artifacts in season 1. Disregard what I said above about the message of the journal, Peter's message to Juno has been, consistently, from minute one, please catch me. Very eager to see Juno oblige

My partner just suggested that Daniel Radcliffe would be excellent in a remake of Goncharov, and I don’t think I have ever wanted to see anything more than this.

Idk maybe it’s just me but

When I hear the gatekeeping of womanhood by TERFS/FARTS I am consistently reminded of the gatekeeping of nerd culture by incel boys.

Like we get that you have been mistreated in the past, and some of that was due to this one thing you identify with, but that doesn’t mean people are wearing your identity like a costume and it doesn’t mean they are faking it.

Being a woman has good parts and bad parts. Being a nerd used to be the same, yet despite a lot of changes they still try to gatekeeping others, especially women, from identifying with being a nerd. They say if you haven’t suffered the bullying and being treated like an outcast that you haven’t ‘earned’ being a nerd. Makes me realise that some people will always keep gatekeeping being a woman, especially if they don’t have to ‘suffer in the same way’ as cis women do.

I’m not a trans woman, I’m an AFAB non-binary person. I don’t feel I can speak for trans women. I do however, believe they belong in women’s spaces. Regardless of the fact they won’t suffer through PCOS, miscarriage, abortion, the other downsides of pregnancy, periods, menstrual cramps or any other afab issue. Regardless of the fact they may or may not have experienced growing up as a girl, being sexualised by men especially at young ages, being treated as lesser for their gender, being ignored by doctors as ‘PMSing’, having their emotions invalidated, being treated as a ‘whore’ or ‘slut’ for dressing a certain way, being blamed for their own sexual assault, not performing femininity right, or any other experience you think is exclusive to cis women. Whether they ‘suffer’ like we did or not, they are valid and they belong in women’s spaces. Gatekeeping is not good or worthwhile.

My #1 post of 2022

Has anyone heard about Andrew Taint today? He tried to taunt Greta Thunberg about the emissions of his car, she accused him of small dick energy, he was so offended that he made a pathetic video in a robe with pizza 10 hours later, then the Romanian authorities arrested him for his human trafficking allegations.

Idk about you, but I’m thinking Greta and everyone trolling Tate in his replies is a Queen right now.
