#rnm jumpscare

Redraw of a meme redraw

SaL anon here friend and not really wishing us luck since it's sounding like we're definitely out if that this episode, instead wishing thst you have something strong on hand whenever you get around to watching the episode. I know going into this our expectectations are buried in the ground, but if RNM taught us anything else (besides that as a defense mechanism) it's that a bad showrunner can always sink lower. Let's just hope at the end of the season there's enough sense left in the show we that ABC can salvage something from KR's perpetual rewriting of history. Cheers friend, it's gonna be a long week to the end of the season 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸.

Well, our broadcast station was out so me and my grandma watched Monk instead and whoooo boy am I glad I spoiled myself because there's no way I could have handled going into this mess blind. We are getting TWO L jumpscares?! I was prepared for her to be on a call not anywhere else! And for what, to remind the audience of the moment they all hated her? Tay Kay is back taking up screentime for what? Proving she can always sink lower? Pass. I have no words for the sperm donor mess or KR's revisionist history with Shannon. I will wrangle whatever joy from Madney and the firefam looking pretty that I can but for now, I'm just going to bed.

Here's hoping ABC makes the smart choice and puts someone else at the helm for s6 or we might all have WISHED this show ended sooner. Where is that drawing of a horse that's half done super well and half done poorly? Because damn if that isn't this show at this point.

The RnM anime is still in my head. Honest review without spoilerish. Super confusing but love the main characters as usual <3 Morty is sweet and Long Hair Rick makes go ahhhhh. Summer also looked pretty in that one frame ✨ the voices aren't too bad. Rick doesn't sound like Rick but I feel like I'll get use to it tbh. Morty sounds perfect tho!

Spoiler territory below⬇️

Blonde girl is an interesting character. She's sweet but I feel like a mom saying "How old is this girl?" 😭

Frank- idk I didnt care about him. Reminds me of Bruce Chutback

I love a Rick and Summer interaction

Marble Morty my silly little orb <3

Forty Morty jumpscare but honesty tolerate that look than the shows one

SaL anon here friend and well, we knew this week would be grim but I wasn't expecting last night's truly spectacular level of stupid. KR really is going the full RNM with "you know what this character needs? to regress!! for the drama...". It seems her true talent lies in finding new and increasingly annoying ways to employ guest actors. Also who wrote this lady's dialogue, how did they not cringe when they edited it? Anywho, tonight's LS isn't looking much better since its combining two of my most loathed Owen storylines, his LI and distinctly-not-firefighting-related detective work. Yay. At least Paul will get some screen time out of it. We're not even at the wishing luck on episodes stage anymore, its just pure "let's hope we don't do permanently damage to our liver getting through this". Anyway cheers bestie, here's to all the amazing fic writers (yourself included!) who manage to find ways to fix this shit into something sensible 🍷🍷🍷.

Bestie that was some of the biggest cringe-fail interactions I've seen in a looooong time. (Oliver, blink twice if you're bombing your chemistry with these potential love interests on purpose, we won't tell anyone, promise!) And even besides the lack of chemistry nothing about this character worked. Oh, we need a character who helps the elderly and dying find peace? Maybe you shouldn't have a bright-eyed bushy-tailed youngster who acts like she's never met someone who has been clinically dead before? Maybe have someone with an ounce of empathy who doesn't treat someone's death experience like a sideshow when they're clearly uncomfortable and barely able to get the words out? IDK that whole conversation was so icky to me. And I *might* could go with it as intentional if it wasn't for the cemetery scene and kr banging on about Buck continuing this pursuit for the next several episodes. I have always loved Buck even in his awkward moments because he always felt genuine and earnest, but that cemetery scene felt like someone shoving words into his mouth to push the idea of this new relationship, and completely disregarding Buck as a character and his other relationships in the process. Another instance of kr twisting characters around to fit a plot idea instead of allowing the characters to drive the plot and actually move forward. At least Madney are still cute and funny even if their storyline is kinda trash too. And don't get me started on the stuff with Shannon. At least we have the sperm donor mess, L return, and a possible tay kay jumpscare to look forward to! 🙄🙄🙄

As for LS, I'm just ready to mindlessly stare at the tv for an hour, have a chuckle or two, and then erase every pointless bit of Owen from my brain.

Cheers my friend, we are gonna need it! Also, I maaaaay be working on a fic. An AU not fix-it, but I'm pretty excited about the idea (SaL based, of course) and some of the things I've come up with for it (suuuuper stoked personally for how I worked the chapter titles because I think I'm clever), so hopefully I can work on that and get something to tease soon!

Cackling about little Miss breath of fresh air being "injured" 😂😂😂 just let your self inserts go Kristen, girl found another job

NGL yesterday was *delightful* for me! Seeing confirmation that for at least the first part of 6a (and all of 6a since they are working on I think 6x06 by now? and are more than halfway done filming 6a) we are free from jumpscares with her face popping up. I wouldn't put it past KR to pull an RNM writers room and make someone unnecessarily praise her for being the greatest thing ever like they forced on Chim in 5x18, but hopefully it's a brief mention and we don't have to hear any more about it. Lets be real, she probably got hurt trying to do something "cool" anyways. Good riddance. If we're really lucky, the celebrations that broke out over social media hearing she wouldn't be back (at least not yet) might convince them to allow her injury mention to happen off screen like they did with so many other far more important moments. If we're really really lucky, the continued joy expressed at her absence will solidify their decision to not bring her back and we can be free forever though it sounds like even if they do bring her back it will only be to close out her arc. Again, something they can do off screen. We have seen enough.

I'm personally cackling about how the background firefighter/paramedic they've had around already seems far more "in" and comfortable with the cast 🤣 Glad they also recognized that they can just...use the background actors they already have (like the guy Hen talked to a couple times in 5b) when they need an extra set of hands and don't need to force some new major character into the narrative.

Hopefully Hallmark or LIfetime or whatever comes calling and AK can keep busy doing whatever and stays far, far away from our wee woo show. Now if only Tim would finally realize that maybe putting someone in charge who couldn't even come up with a multi-episode disaster arc like the show is known for was a bad idea...
