part 3 of season 2, episode 10 MALEC FIRST I LOVE YOU “by the light of dawn”

30. Alec just being fine answering the phone and fighting valentines men. like this man doesn’t need to be so fine doing the bare minimum

31. Alec complimenting aldertree which is a big feat

32. I love how aldertree is like oh he forgives me but Alec will never forgive you for giving his sister yin fein which she ended up being addicted to. Izzy will have to live with that her whole life. Aldertree knew better.

33. I can’t believe you have me saying another nice thing about jace but this is rare when he actually thinks of Alec (I know I posed gif on the right but I hate when the gifs don’t cover the whole screen)

34. LOOK HOW HOT HE IS HOLDING A WEAPON

35. Simon: you’re a terrible father, don’t you care?

36. it’s funny when you compare the book valentine to show valentine because book valentine doesn’t give a flying fuck about clary. he really couldn’t be bothered. he actually hates her if I can remember clearly. Valentine left his son to burn so do you think he’s going to care how his daughter feels about him? but we aren’t at that stage yet but Valentine has a clear purpose in his mind. destroy downworld, and make shadowhunters better- that’s his dream, not being a father. he’s responsible for his wife dying so Valentine is cool if clary despises him

37. THIS MAGNUS MOMENT (I’ll honestly probably will repost my three parts I already did but whatever)

38. I think it’s important to remember that Magnus always usually feels in control. he has his magic and he’s used to helping people anyway he can so the fact that he is stuck protecting clary and not doing anything, it makes him feel stuck

39. valentine isn’t playing clary

40. got to give it to Alan who plays valentine because he turned awful villain book valentine that didn’t make any sense to show valentine. I can’t stand book valentine because his motives never made sense to me and I thought he was badly written. his motives don’t make any sense in the show but I think he’s written a whole lot better

41. so Alec is looking like a dream for what reason exactly? I’m sorry but I think this is the hottest Alec has been YET and he’s been it since the first episode of the show. like he just keeps getting better and better. I don’t know how anyone who could look at Alec would still prefer jace. LOOK AT HIM

stopping at 42 and will do a fourth part in a moment

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Buddie 2024 Rewatch to spread some positivity!! The goal is to rewatch important episodes for both Buck and Eddie and their relationship and spread some love while we wait for season 8. I'm guessing the show will come back mid-October (mostly because I can't narrow the list down more) which would give us 15 weeks if we start right now, with 2 episodes. This is the list I came down to, this could be altered when we get an official airing date.

Week 1: 2x01 Under Pressure, 2x04 Stuck

Week 2: 2x08 Buck, Actually, 2x10 Merry Ex-Mas

Week 3: 2x18 This Life We Choose, 3x03 The Searchers

Week 4: 3x05 Rage, 3x06 Monsters

Week 5: 3x09 Fallout, 3x15 Eddie Begins

Week 6: 3x18 What's Next?, 4x03 Future Tense

Week 7: 4x08 Breaking Point, 4x12 Treasure Hunt

Week 8: 4x13 Suspicion, 4x14 Survivors

Week 9: 4x06 Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1, 5x11 Outside Looking In

Week 10: 5x13 Fear-o-Phobia, 5x14 Dumb Luck

Week 11: 5x16 May Day, 6x10 In a Flash, 6x11 In Another Life*

Week 12: 6x12 Recovery, 6x13 Mixed Feelings

Week 13: 6x15 Death and Taxes, 7x01 Abandon Ships

Week 14: 7x04 Buck, Bothered and Bewildered, 7x05 You Don't Know Me

Week 15: 7x09 Ashes, Ashes, 7x10 All Fall Down

I'm setting up an Instagram account too, also @/buddie2024rewatch, since the idea is also to share stuff where the actors can see, so post stuff using the tag #buddie2024rewatch here and over there and I will try to reblog/share as many posts as I see!

*in another life is marked because Eddie isn't in a lot, so it's more of an optional thing, because 610 and 611 do go together.

Why do I think Diego and Lila's relationship was toxic? (Part 2)

Previous part of this series: Part 1

The Handler will also play a big part in this post, as I think it's quite likely that her actions motivated Lila's actions.

Season 2

2x06

Five finds out who Lila really is, and she returns to the Commission. The Handler notices her bracelet and comments that it’s a cliché to fall for your mark. Lila denies it, claiming the bracelet is just a trophy, but the Handler doesn't believe her.

2x07

Lila starts to notice that the Handler is gaining more and more influence in the Commission, and she seems worried about it. She's probably afraid of the consequences of her actions (and rightly so). I get the feeling she doesn't want to face this situation alone and wants to get Diego on her side.

Meanwhile, Diego finds out they’re about to go back in time. He wants to say goodbye to Lila, without mentioning that he wants her to come with them. Five tells him that Lila was just using him, which leaves Diego hurt.

Lila and Diego are reunited, but Diego is angry with her and wants nothing to do with her because she lied to him. Lila defends her lies, yet right after, she drugs him and literally kidnaps him into the Commission. 🚩 It's a very shocking awakening for Diego.

2x08

Lila wants Diego to work for the Commission, and the Handler agrees, but only if Lila takes responsibility for him. Lila brings Diego to training, but he immediately runs away from the Commission to pursue his own plans. Lila seems surprised that Diego left, though it made perfect sense from his perspective—he was never interested in anything like that. Honestly, the fact that she’s angry with him for something like that just shows that Lila has absolutely no idea what’s right and what’s wrong at this point in time.

2x09

Lila learns the truth about her parents' deaths and shifts her focus to getting revenge on Five. Just before that, Lila mentions she loves Diego, but her attention soon turns elsewhere. The Handler is ready to kill Lila, believing she has exposed the truth about her as well. It's a sign that the Handler is truly capable of anything, and I think Lila has always sensed that, at least subconsciously.

2x10

Lila helps carry out the Handler's plans and confronts the Hargreeves family. She’s cold toward Diego, which surprises him, though he only briefly refers to Lila as his ex-girlfriend in front of his family.

Diego discovers that Lila has been manipulated by the Handler since she was a child, and his opinion of her changes immediately. He offers her a chance to join their family. However, just after that, both Diego and Lila are shot. These events are reversed when Five turns back the time a few minutes. The Handler dies, and Lila manages to escape.

--

Honestly? Diego's behavior didn't really make any sense at all. He saw so many red flags, seemed like he wanted nothing to do with her and then changed his mind from one minute to the next (twice). A lot of scenes in S2 are focused on Lila and Five, and in retrospect I feel like it wasn't Five who was the third one in this story.

Really the only positive points in S2 are: Lila saved Diego when he was stabbed in the stomach and also helped him greatly in his escape from the asylum. The rest often involved manipulation and lying. I also think that Lila latched onto him in large part because she sensed that The Handler was a threat to her and needed a backdoor.

“You want to spend the rest of your life knowing Dean Winchester’s on your ass, ‘cause I don’t.”

Okay, I have to ask: how did Dean ever earn this reputation? Because it sure as hell wasn't from canon:

(citations and spoilers under the cut)

1x15 The Benders – Spews idle threats while sidelined by a 13-year-old girl. Sam frees himself and overpowers an armed bad guy.

2x10 Hunted – Gordon hunts Sam, Dean gets himself captured. Sam rescues Dean.

2x21-22 AHBL 1 & 2 – Jake kills Sam. Sam is the one who kills Jake.

3x03 Bad Day at Black Rock – Bella shoots Sam, Dean does nothing

3x07 Fresh Blood – Gordon hunts Sam again, Sam decapitates Gordon with razor wire

5x16 Dark Side of the Moon – Walt and Roy kill Sam. Dean throws away the Samulet and forgets about Walt and Roy

6x22 The Man Who Knew Too Much – Castiel breaks Sam’s Hell wall. Dean forgives him in 7x17.

10x2 Reichenbach – Cole tortures Sam, Dean later decides to become Cole’s bestie

11x11 Red Meat – Corbin attempts to kill Sam, Dean tries to kill himself. Sam kills Corbin.

12x01 Keep Calm and Carry On – Watts tortures Sam. Mary kills Watts.

12x02 Mamma Mia – Toni tortures Sam, Dean spends most of the episode in heartwarming getting-to-know-you sessions with Mary. Dean later allies with Toni.

Seriously, why would anyone be afraid of Dean? He's more likely to ally with someone who hurts Sam than he is to hunt them down.

Now let's look at Sam for comparison:

3x05 Bedtime Stories – Sam kills the crossroads demon that made Dean’s deal

3x11 Mystery Spot – Spends 6 months hunting down the trickster and stakes him for killing Dean

4x09 I Know What You Did Last Summer (flashback) – Sam kills another crossroads demon who refuses to let Sam switch places with Dean

10x1 Black – Tortures a demon for Dean’s location

10x17 Inside Man – Shoots Metatron in the leg for information about saving Dean from the Mark

10x22 The Prisoner - Almost kills Crowley for getting Dean to take the MoC

Clearly Sam is the one you should be afraid of if you mess with his brother.

Rating Star Trek TOS costumes because why not! (part 7)

I, Mudd (2x08). The vibes in Mudd's outfit are all over the place - it's pirate meets military meets used cars salesman. You know this man wears waaay too much cologne. 5/10, the belt should at least match the boots.

I'm way more into the androids' outfits. I love an asymmetrical shoulder and they've got that "one pant leg" thing going on that TOS was so fond of. I also adore their hair and their glittery tights! The chains look a little randomly placed, though, and those ugly ass necklaces sadly drag the whole fits down. 7/10.

Metamorphosis (2x09). Super cute! The whole outfit is very mod, maybe a little bit cheap looking but still stylish. The colors could match better but I love the cut of both the coat and the mini dress, and the headscarf and short gloves are just the perfect cherry on top. 8/10.

Journey to Babel (2x10). They did Amanda so dirty, introducing her in this ugly, shapeless coat. You can't tell from this screenshot but the collar looks like a cone of shame from certain angles. The dress underneath looks fine but we don't see too much of it. Sarek's outfit is boring but at least it's dignified. 5/10 for them both.

Sarek changes his outfit once (not counting his sickbay gown, which I don't), and it kind of looks like the same suit with a different decoration slapped on top. I do like this better, there's more of that dramatic flare we've come to expect from Vulcan fashion. 7/10.

Amanda's two other outfits this episode are a marked improvement. The first is a cute cocktail hour number, simple but colorful. 7/10. The second is my favorite; a pink wide-legged jumpsuit layered with a red knitted poncho with a pink fur trim. I'm a sucker for a red and pink color combo, and the fur trim is just the right amount of tacky for me. Amanda knocked it out of the park with this one, 9/10.

Then there's the various alien delegates we see this episode, which I'm lumping together because I don't have a whole lot to say. You can tell they had fun coming up with the aesthetics for the different alien races, though one group was clearly an afterthought. The rest of the aliens get prosthetics and bodypaint and then there's two regular dudes in cloaks. At least they're colorful? 7/10 for the whole lot of them, this is some delightful worldbuilding.

Farscape rewatch 2x10 - My Three Crichtons

This is probably a lesser ep, objectively speaking, but one that to me presents  fascinating foreshadowing and contrasts to what Crichton has been and what he will become (as well as first plays around with multiple Crichtons in a foreshadowing of such a major part of s3.) The summary is pretty simple and traditionally scifi. Due to an alien race’s attempt to capture Crichton for its collection as it had never seen a human before and the Moyans (of course) meddling with this, Crichton is now confronted with both a ‘prehistoric’ proto-Crichton, and a so-called ‘Future Crichton’ (aka Crichton as he would have been if he would be a product of humanity’s future development). But the themes that run through the episode (not to mention the seemingly inescapable fact that no matter what, any new ‘adventure,’ even a lesser one, is just further add-on to Crichton’s issues and pain, and mess) are something that just resonate in general. Here he is, as yet another entity attempts to disassemble and study him as a lab rat:

His horrified yet unsurprised “of course” reaction is honestly heartbreaking. 

The man can barely walk and all he keeps asking for is a gun. I think what hits me here on rewatch is we haven’t even gotten past first half of s2 yet, the real horrors only just started, he has so much further to go and be broken as and he is already this messed up.

The way he is so different from wide-eyed Panglossian John of the start of the show...all that constant horror will do that to you.

There is the fact (which is starkly true from the Premiere episode to Peacekeeper Wars) that Crichton does not need to do anything different: his very alienness in the alien world, his very fact of being is enough to mark him, put him in peril, make him wanted. The alien race collecting specimens the way Victorians collected butterflies is merely another facet of the same obsession that drives Scorpius. They might not be about wormholes (are in fact ignorant and indifferent to them) but they go by the same principle: unique is always valuable. But by his uniqueness, Crichton is not made special and favored. Instead, it’s a Mark of Cain of sorts, and he is dehumanized and objectified because of his uniqueness. Scorpius wants wormholes and John is just a bug from whom he can extract it (though later this changes into a vary acknowledgment of Crichton’s almost equal status. Scorpius elevates Crichton to ‘opponent’ from ‘experiment.’) The alien race couldn’t care if they got John or an elderly German janitor. It’s being homo sapiens that matters to them. That is one of the things I love so about Farscape. Even the seemingly one-off episodes resonate within the larger themes and arcs. 

Look at this throwaway bitter quip - this is a man whose mind hasn’t been fully his own since at least A Human Reaction and then got rifled through like a drawer by Scorpius and as the show goes on becomes more and more something exploited and manipulated and attacked and disassembled. Volition? Control? Privacy? What’s that, says the universe. (I always found it quite precisely brutal that John is largely attacked through his mind because that is his strength; while Aeryn is through her body because that is hers.) 

To get back to something I mentioned earlier btw, this is the first ep that plays with multiple Crichtons and I want to scream into my hands, knowing how thoroughly and heartbreakingly this will get explored in s3.

But even in this ep, where it is a one-off where it is resolved, and we do have the “original” John and the distorted copies, we are left with a hell of a sting, with John confronted with the realization of how far he’s come from the man he was at the start and how far further he might fall.

I love the existence of ‘pre’ and ‘post’ Crichtons, distorted John mirrors of a sort. In some ways, the symbolism is pretty obvious: pre-Crichton is kind if not super bright, and he wears John’s discarded space suit, while post-Crichton is intellectual but heartless and is dressed in PK uniform. But I think it’s a lot more complicated than that. I find it interesting that it is Chiana who ends up interacting with ‘pre’ and Aeryn with ‘post.’ Because the reaction to ‘post’ Crichton is as much about Aeryn and Aeryn’s change as it is about anything else. In part, because Crichton’s slow descent to that side of the scale is prompted so much by his love and need for Aeryn (he wouldn’t have gone to the Base etc etc in S1 if not for her. His love for her is both his destruction and his salvation), but also because it shows us her change, her thawing and humanization. If you think about it, post-Crichton is someone that PK Aeryn would have liked the most out of the versions, someone she could have related to the most: ruthless intelligence and efficiency, not a spark of heart. But this new Aeryn, while someone who would likely be impatient with pre-Crichton (because she will never lose her feeling for efficiency and razor sharpness. John wins her respect and eventually love not just because he is ‘a nice guy’ but because he is incredibly smart and functions under pressure) sees through post-Crichton as a pane of glass and does not like him in the least. 

(bwahaha only Farscape would go there)

And of course, it makes sense that it is Chiana who ends up bonding with pre-Crichton, Chiana who is the most ‘childish’ of the bunch (Rygel is a lot of things in his greed, gluttony and boredom, but he is not truly childish, not ever), the most open to just expression of emotion, and who is, probably, someone who misses the slow disappearance of Crichton who helped her under the burdened, cracked shell of Crichton the way he is now. 

And of course, pre-Crichton’s situation reminds her of herself when she first was aboard Moya. It’s interesting, because in a lot of ways, Chiana is harder than Aeryn, but in a lot of other ways, she is just younger. She is never about justice, but she is about personal compassion. Even Aeryn’s compassion is tempered, controlled, different. But yes, the pre and post as symbolism for what Crichton was and for where he is going. That is perhaps something that scares John the most: that he can end up as another type of Scorpius, someone unfeeling, uncaring, willing to be ruthlessly expedient. But that is the thing, he never will become such, however he teeters on the edge. He is someone who is, in this episode, refuses to take the easy way out, to close his eyes to sacrifice, to let the post-Crichton do the dirty work and to try to absent himself and excuse himself.

He is willing to be the sacrifice, to walk into the sphere to death to save his shipmates, telling post-Crichton that if he is the future, he is glad he won’t live to see it.

And the thing is, this refusal to give his humanity, his feeling of guilt and his capacity for self-sacrifice is always there no matter how hardened he becomes. Even at the end, even as he blows up a nuke in ‘We are so screwed’ that ends season 4 or with his actions in Peacekeeper Wars, he will never be post-Crichton, because no matter how mutilated, his caring and humanity remains. He is someone who will weep in Aeryn’s arms at the destruction he has wrought. His actions might change, but his basic compassion does not. Post-Crichton is yet another ‘fractured future,’ a possibility, but not something that will ultimately come to pass and I love that Farscape, for all its darkness and horrors was never about girmdark but about hope.

part 4 of season 2, episode 10 MALEC FIRST I LOVE YOU, “by the light of dawn”

42. I love how this whole time alec is unimpressed by aldertree no matter what he does or says. Aldertree breathes and Alec is like can you not?

43. it’s actually sad how traumatized aldertree is but that still doesn’t excuse his behavior in season three or really any of his stuff. and I wonder if he is trying to tell Alec that downworlders and shadowhunters don’t mix for a reason but who knows

43. I didn’t think all the aldertree stuff would cover this whole part but what do you know, it does lmao

44. to be fair, aldertree did warn Izzy of the risk of the yin fein but Izzy was set on going to the citadel. I think he can be labeled as a bad person but I think he uses his past with Eva to make sure that it can’t happen again. I think aldertree was so traumatized by Eva that he believes in a way that demon blooded creatures shouldn’t exist in a way- and I mean what he does in season three, not now. he still should’ve known better than to offer something as strong as yin fein but in a way, he’s partly right. but he should have offered something not as strong first and work his way up to that. as Alec said in the last episode, an ex medic knows better

45. this scene isn’t all together but I’m using it for this part so it’s fine it’s all fine ITS FINE

46. Alec: yeah, ok whatever. neat story, I don’t care

47. Alec appreciation because he’s so pretty

48. Alec: I still don’t trust you

49. Alec is a mood

50. it’s funny when people compare to Malec or try to say how shadowhunters and downworlders won’t ever understand each other and Malec both look so uninterested. Alec: I don’t care

51. YOU DONT LOCK AN ANGRY AND SCARED WOLF

52. Maia: thought you saw the last of me? FUCK YA THOUGHT

53. Maia: you have no idea

54. oooooo I can watch Maia smack jace all day 🥰

Maia has every right to be mad and she is right. what kind of wolf pack leader puts shadowhunters who are known to hunt wolves and kill then without reason over their own wolves? it a really fucked thing to do. a wolf pack needs to know that their leader will fight for them and protect them. how can you trust Luke if he only remembers you exist when clary needs saving and is hardly there for you?

I sure wouldn’t trust that kind of leader. there were so many avenues that Luke could have used in this scenario with valentine and the sword but he chose to punish Maia, use her fears against her, and lock her up. while it’s understandable why she’s terrified. Clary is out there while everyone knows she’s a key to unlocking the soul sword so downworlders can die. anyone would be upset about that and rightfully so. but it’s just another example of how clary goes unpunished, how she can do whatever she wants without consequences, and how everyone is desperate to save her. if I were maia, I couldn’t look at Luke the same way again. he’s shown his true colors

and just to show how unfair the treatment of downworlders is, later in this season shadowhunters get killed and they are all in like the shadowhunters are mad and make it their top priority but when downworlders die- they don’t punish anyone. Valentine is arrested for previous crimes and jace doesn’t get punished at all. he lifted the sword and didn’t use any common sense because he believes the villain. Valentine isn’t always wrong but you have to be real stupid to believe everything Valentine says.

Jace believes he’s a demon without any evidence, believes clary is his sister without any evidence, believes he can destroy the soul sword without any evidence, believes valentine in his father once again without any evidence. yes Magnus saw a vision but there hasn’t been any evidence showing that it’s jace the vision is about. Jace grew up with a fake Michael wayland but he still doesn’t have proof that Valentine is his blood. it’s funny how most shadowhunters act superior and how they’re better and how jace is the best but he can’t use any fucking common sense or investigate like a normal shadowhunter would. at least Alec uses his brain and plans shit out. and jace goes unpunished for his crimes against downworld in early season two. he’s only punished because he’s not highly devoted to the clave. if a downworlder fights back, they’re awful and must be defeated but if shadowhunters kill downworlders, it’s a okay

I have a major issue with this storyline and how things are kept from downworld so they don’t fight back. let’s not tell them that their deaths are being planned so they don’t get angry and revolt SO MUCH BLOODY FUCKING OPPRESSION TO THE DOWNWORLD COMMUNITY. they get hunted for centuries and shadowhunters are like yeah sorry about that but don’t fight back because we will make hell for y’all. some of the shadowhunters behavior is similar to how everyone treats jace and clary. have to worship them 24/7 and can’t ever be angry with them. and Alec seems to be the only shadowhunter I can think of that actually tries to change things

I’ll try to do a part 5 later today and no, we are not as close to being done 🥹

There's also the instagram account @/buddie2024rewatch, since the idea is also to share stuff where the actors can see, so post stuff using the tag #buddie2024rewatch or tag the account here and over there and I will try to reblog/share as many posts as I see!

*in another life is marked because Eddie isn't in a lot, so it's more of an optional thing because 610 and 611 do go together.

I finally made a list of my favourite episodes from s1-s3

season 1

1x8 "La festa della rosa" / "A Friendship Sundered" - Simply for the DRAMA

1x9 "Il tradimento di Riven" / "Betrayed!" – again for the DRAMA and omg driven so much driven

1x17 "Il segreto di Brandon" / "Secrets Within Secrets" – Diaspro??

1x18 "Addio Magix" / "The Font of Dragon Fire" - simply because I liked it best as a kid and I just  love how Bloom gets ripped of her powers, ok?

1x19 "Attacco ad Alfea" / "The Fall of Magix"- hello? Army of decay? Darcy treating those little friends as pets? Iconic

1x22 "Il ritorno di Riven" / "Storming Cloudtower" - because Riven has to face his actions and it is underrated

season 2

2x2 "Il ritorno delle Trix" / "Up to Their Old Trix" – because Stormy finding out that switching something off is more peaceful than shatter it

2x4 "La Principessa Amentia" / "Princess Amentia" – because BRELLA

2x18 "Nel Cuore di Torrenuvola" / "In the Heart of Cloud Tower" – same above also the trix winning again

2x20 "Il villaggio delle Pixies" / "Pixie Village" – because icy healing livy’s head is cute and icy meeting amentia is two queens fighting

3x2 "Il marchio di Valtor" / "Valtor's Mark" – still because valtor’s doing shit and because of stella being the center

3x10 "Alfea sotto assedio" / "Alfea Under Siege" – because the trix finally come home to cloud tower and valtor’s and griffin’s backstory

3x11 "Trappola per fate" / "A Trap for Fairies" – because turning Faragonda into a tree is the most ridiculous way of revenge valtor could get

3x22 "Il labirinto di cristallo" / "The Crystal Labyrinth" – I mean, do I have to write something to this?  No? good.

And the third bracket proposal is

Winx Episodes Battle

Do you find this episode memorable? Or maybe it is so weird that it stuck with you? Should everyone watch it or not speak of it again? Anyway, send it to this bracket!

It can be from any season, I won't judge

You either give it's title, number (ex. S1E26) or describe it :)

The only episode that gets into the bracket by default is the first episode of the show!

You can submit through asks, comments or reblogs.

In the bracket:

- Season 1 Episode 1
