#she was so so adamant about it like.

once i was in a creative writing class in college, and in a bit of humor i wrote the line:

"Um," I said, eloquently.

And my teacher was so adamant that I had to remove it because "um is not an eloquent word, so it makes no sense" and i was like my brother in christ it's called Irony

There's an awkward "first date" silence between them, the kind that suggests there isn't going to be a "second". Giselle tries her best to keep the conversation going.

something that is so important to me is that blake is not even a little bit smooth. she's all cheesy smiles and bad dance moves and awkward hand touches. this bitch has gotten by on the fact that people just fall in love with her when they exist in the same space as her for too long. she's literally too pretty to know how to flirt

I'm all for opposites-attract friendships but I can't understand what a woman like Lute, who is described as cut-throat and no-nonsense, very self-assured and independent, would possibly see in someone like Adam. It makes 0 sense to me.

A confident and skilled woman who commands respect, deferring to her bestie boss that calls her demeaning nicknames constantly? And that's just...everything about her character? They gave her nothing outside of Adam but I can't wrap my head around why she would like him in the first place. If anything, the way she's set up, I'd expect her to be resentful that an unprofessional slob like him leads the army.

I want to say I'm sure S2 will elaborate on their relationship outside of 'Lute big mad', but honestly, I don't think I can trust the show to do even the barest minimum.

"Vivziepop, please give lute a personality and character outside of the misogynistic man she's inexplicably attached too" I beg on my hands and knees. Vivziepop descends slowly from the heavens and hands me a scroll before ascending once more. I open it. It is a picture of a cock. She has written 'fuck' underneath it. I weep.

Quick question for people's twc detectives: in what ways have they changed for the better after meeting and joining ub? And have some aspects of them changed for the worse?👀

what was the casting process like for the bright sessions? :O

initially, there was hardly any process to speak of! every cast member in the original run of TBS (seasons 1-4) were people I met in acting class or friends of friends. here's the breakdown -

Julia Morizawa - met in an acting class at BGB Studio Briggon Snow - BGB Anna Lore - met in improv 101 at UCB Charlie Ian - BGB Andrew Nowak - BGB Alex Gallner - friend of Briggon's Ian McQuown - friend of Anna's Alex Marshall-Brown - friend of Anna's and Ian's Phillip Jordan - BGB Alanna Fox - BGB Reyn Beeler - part of the ars paradoxica cast! aka friend of Mischa's

as you can see, that weekly class at BGB Studio in North Hollywood was the place for TBS casting lol - there were so many great actors that moved through that Sunday night class, but all of us were in class with each other at one point or another, and having that experience of acting together really helped I think.

when I started the show, I knew I wanted to act in it and I wanted to write a role for Anna, my best friend. but I actually didn't know Julia or Briggon that well - I just admired their acting and took a swing in asking them. that worked so well that then it was like....okay, well BGB is my actor pool now (I remember vividly the moment that Charlie was doing a scene in class and Julia and I looked at each other and had a silent conversation of "oh THERE'S our Damien").

season 5 (the bright sides - the bonus episodes) was similar. Michael Felix (who plays Austin) was someone we found through auditions, but everyone else was an actor either I knew or the writer of the episode knew, including folks from other podcasts! then, for seasons 6 and 7, the spin-offs, we just did a very traditional casting process, including in person auditions for season 6 (we recorded season 7 in 2020).

Adams had so much potential as a character. She worked in a jail but she was bored! She let House, who was in jail, work on a patient! She got fired too. And then House gave her a baseball bat and she destroyed a bunch of hospital equivalent cause she had just gotten divorced! She was rich and had guns. Her parents were suspiciously perfect but she was still like that. Then there was literally nothing going on for her character

lawrence is just. such a lawrence to me like larry is a completely different person. lawrence is the gay repressed doctorguy and larry is .. not him. he’s a larry to alison but he’s also lot of things to alison that aren’t true hmm. something about adam calling him lawrence .. how ‘your wife was right larry’ ‘face it larry we’re both bullshitters’ changes to ‘lawrence get up i need you’ ‘lawrence calm down’. lawrence this lawrence that. hmm

even after all these years the gang learning about noahs ghostliness is so funny to me. like obviously they are freaked out that their friend is dead and was murdered. but no one is having a revelation about ghosts being real its not even mentioned. its like yea yea we all accept the existence of ghosts. back to the one living in our apartment.
