Season 1, Episode 34: Dedicated Involved Loving Fathers

(Note: This is a long one y'all. I ended up typing out all of my thoughts on this one)

Favorite Moment: The entire phone call with Beth May.

General Thoughts:

All right: because I'm really curious, I want to sit and log my feelings as I listen to this. As I mentioned in my previous post, this is the one episode that I've not been able to relisten to because it set me off the first time I heard it. I was listening to the podcast in the car, because I was doing a lot of commuting, and I was so confused by this episode that I exited out of the episode a couple of different times, sure that I had accidentally skipped an episode. And that confusion has just really put me off from this episode. Looking back on the episode, it's very clever, from what I can remember of it, but it bothered me so much. Maybe it's because I was driving, and so instead of just being a fun time, it became this huge distraction.

So, what I remember of this episode, is that there is a fight with bounty hunters and somehow they end up riding on a bunch of animals. And there are some shenanigans with Dennis. But that's it. Most of the details of this episode are not in my brain anymore.

So here we go, let's see how I feel about this one on my second go-around. (By the way, I finished episode 33 over a week ago, have hit play on this episode three times, and have been unable to listen to it. But now it's time. I'm going to do this.)

This intro is very dumb, but very funny. And I love a good "flip to side two" joke. It makes my old millennial heart happy.

The whole table talk and Dad fact portion does a great job of integrating Ashley naturally. So flawless it threw me.

Grant's nickname is shooter? Oh no. The context of that now is unfortunately not a funny baby poop joke. Oof.

Again, so nonchalant in with the Dennis stuff. And I didn't realize that he was also a rogue. No wonder Ron doesn't like him.

His anchor is at the librarium decepticus? That's so smart.

Thanks Ron, for saying all the things I felt listening to this the first time.

Okay, enjoying the episode so far. Doing a quick check-in on how I'm feeling. Maybe it's just me and this horrible bias I have against this episode, but it feels different. It's still enjoyable and I'm still smiling while I'm listening, but it's more that I'm enjoying the heat between Ron and Dennis. I don't know, this is a weird experience.

Ron fell on to his dagger? There's definitely some shenanigans happening here. Accident? I think not!

Poor Grant. Why give him an axe? I had forgotten about all of the additional trauma that happens to this boy in this episode.

Dennis has always been Paeden's favorite? Ugh. Feels awful. Poor Darryl.

Ron doing what Dennis does is great.

RIP jug. It was a cool, useful item.

I'm just happy to be here. Ok, that was flawless. Hats off to Ashley for that one.

So much shade being thrown towards Ron AND Beth. I don't like it. But I like it.

The energy. Is so weird.

It's not bad, for a combat episode. But doesn't feel like how they do combat. More like how actual combat goes in a DnD game.

Okay, another feelings check in. I really do love the Ron anti-Dennis heat. It is very funny.

So we're now 30 minutes from the end of the episode, and the combat is over. And I have no idea what is left because I don't remember anything else from this episode.

Ok, the entire Beth May phone call is hysterical.

Love that Erin hates Dennis too. Oh wait. Nope. She's playing hard to get. That is pretty funny.

Mr. Mustache meets Terry! And Terry finally believes Ron!

Dennis brings up Scam... And reveals himself as Mark. Glenn's line of "Mark- what did you do with Dennis?" Very funny. He's revealed and then disappears.

And there's some planning and apologizing and that's it. I did it!

And next time, we get to what I consider the official start of Arc 2. Let's go get some anchors!

For ship ask thingy. Tell me about Lutteo and... l am bit curios what what thing peple can muster about Gastina so let's get that in as well

thank you for asking!! <33

okay so for the record i love both of these ships with my whole heart (lutteo admittedly more so) and everything written here is out of love, I swear lol

The scene you started to dislike them in:

lutteo: "qué? novia? no, yo no tengo novia" [s2ep52] when Matteo is doing the live interview makes me want to SCREAM. like matteo, no. That is not how you treat a girl.

gastina: when Nina meets Xavi for the first time! [s1ep34] I know his presence is kinda annoying later on, but this first encounter is just so sweet and Xavi really showed Nina what it was like for a boy to simply take notice of her and pour his attention on her irl

The worst scene of them:

BREAKUP SCENES

I know I should be more objective about this one and try to find more scenes that I hate, but the breakup scenes hit too hard not to mention. I hate them all.

Something about them that just makes you annoyed:

their inability to acknowledge and appreciate that they wanted to be together like these fools could have been together for almost the entire show instead of pining in angst for episodes on end

the whole gift of the magi plot. Nina gets Gastón into oxford, so she also plans to go there, but then Gastón gets Nina that internship so she has to stay. like goodness can we not communicate?

Which one is the worst in the relationship:

depends on the arc lol generally though I would say Matteo, both for how he treated their relationship during the solo career plot and how he led Luna on for the entirety of the time he was with Ámbar in s1 (woah.. just started seeing parallels there. Matteo's career to Luna in s2 is like Luna to Ámbar s1)

gonna have to say Nina for putting herself in the way of their relationship again and again bc (a) she could have had Gastón so much earlier if she had just agreed to meet him like Nina you aren't ugly in the slightest, and he already knows everything else about you?? and (b) for taking an internship in Buenos Aires when I'm sure there are similar opportunities in the UK--and she ended up not liking it by the end anyway!

If you can see any appeal to why others ship them:

obviously, yes

obviously, yes

If there is any scene of them that you actually think is okay:

taking this to mean underrated scenes bc they're all more than okay imo

their performance in s1ep40. like the tension?? the silent communication?? I'm sorry but these two were clearly made for each other

the book exchange!! [s1ep69] like I swooned

[wiitchb-tch]
