Episode 17 being entertaining, annoying, and infuriating.

Sparse comments

1) The Leo thing is moving at a snaaaaaail's pace.

I know this is gonna go on for long, so I'm just making peace with it.

2) What a fking random way to start Nigarbrahim. (Talking to the garden scene where she is randomly the one accompanying Hatice)

I know that Stockholm Syndrome is the name of the game in this show but damn this is honestly offensive.

3) Leo and Matrakçi should co-found a Get Over Her support group.

4) Mocenigo returns, this time convinced there's no way Süleyman will be able to turn the gift of a clock into not-so-veiled egomaniacal threat.

Of course, Süleyman relishes the challenge and does exactly that.

5) The janissaries being upset for Ibrahim's success is freaking hilarious given they are recruited the same way he was.

6) Gülsah and Gülnihal are honestly baffling in how much they're willing to be stepped over.

Even more for Gülsah given she even VOLUNTEERED to another murder attempt, as if Mahidevran did not literally throw her under the galley the first time.

7) Everyone is STILL ignoring the murderer still at large

8) WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT TIMESKIP WHAT YEAR IS IT WHO PUT MUSTAFA IN AN AGING CAPSULE-
