QOTS S5 E1 first thoughts! SPOILERS ABOUND

*********Spoilers for Queen of the South, Season 5 Episode 1*********

ok so! in case anyone cares about my rambley unorganized opinions on the season 5 premiere, i want to put them somewhere so here they are! i actually really liked it for the most part lol and had a fun time watching 

SO. pretty typical of QOTS to not let james & teresa have a meaningful moment alone until episode 2 but not gonna lie i’m still...........a lil salty about it. his talk with kellyanne was sweet tho and her last line of their lil talk....holy shit. like fuck!!! she’s right but..... fuck! i sense foreshadowing and i DO Not care for it

and i’m a bit pissed that so much time was wasted with king george being a dick and ready to shoot james for no discernible reason (i thought they were friends??? what the hell did james do to piss off KG so much? i thought they left on good terms? seems like he took james leaving harder than teresa... lol) when AS USUAL james totally saved the day right in the knick of time for literally....king george and teresa and pote.. like he saved literally EVERYONE’s life. and he was recovering from a gunshot wound and blood loss like????????? why is everyone wasting time distrusting him when they could be taking advantage of his life saving skills?? lol james in a classic King George bright yellow floral hawaiian shirt though!!!! amazing. beautiful. make james wear more color 2021!!

ALSO JAMES CONTINUING TO BE A PERFECT SHOT AND TAKING OUT LIKE 4 GUYS W NO WASTED BULLETS EVEN INJURED WHILE KING GEORGE AND CHICHO SHOT AT THE OTHER GUY LIKE TEN TIMES AND MISSED..... I LAUGHED SO HARD HOLY SHIT like between that scene and george accusing james of shooting himself in the stomach and knowing where to shoot in order to survive b/c he’s a sniper like....they really Really wanted to drive the point home that james is a Good Shot... 

but honestly all of that, on top of teresa kinda making more trouble for herself but ending up sort of accidentally~on purpose doing the smart thing anyways, felt Very OG queen of the south so that was actually really fun. plus we all knew james was gonna redeem himself and save the day anyways. i just lowkey wanted KG to get in trouble w/ teresa for taking a recovering james behind her back to a dangerous location without a gun - right after she got him back!! and before they even talked alone.... but that’s wishful thinking haha (someone gonna write that fic??) 

ALSO that scene with boaz and the judge?? OOF honestly i loved that scene even tho i HATE the judge and honestly i have no idea what to think of boaz after all these years lol, but their acting was so good and it’s just such an intense scene, idk they fuckin killed it!! no pun intended lmaoo

anyways i’m excited for episode 2 and it has definitely renewed a lot of my love for the show and i’m intrigued to see where they’re going with this season! and excited for james and teresa to talk alone!! without everyone around them accusing james of hurting her! or doing anything other than loving and protecting her!! hahaha 

i will say tho. i am a liiiiiiiittle peeved that all the writers came up with for the james/ devon plot was just. devon just let him go? and gave him information that would save teresa??? after constantly threatening to shut down her business, take over her business, kill her, etc.etc.whatever??????? like. i am kinda glad they just wrapped it up and didn’t linger on it but i really thought james would have like. overheard something about the kill order and made another deal w/ devon or fought his way out or just literally anything other than. they just gave him the information and let him go. like am i the only one who thinks that’s kind of lame??? but it’s okay b/c now we can just. move on from that whole mess hopefully. 

ANYWAYS here’s to a good final season y’all! thanks for reading my ramblings :’) i would love to hear other people’s thoughts!!

I hope everyone knows James Valdez is fully in love with Teresa Medoza.

So appreciate your QOTS liveblogging!!

Thanks, anon! Gone forever? No. Even in the flash forwards, when Queen is killing people I still see our Teresa in there. But I do think Teresa has started down that path (and more than anything this tells me the writers know they aren’t getting eight seasons out of this show- five probably, six max). I think she’ll have times when she tries to go back to doing things the more peaceful way but like Queen said, there’s no going back now. Teresa has started something and she can’t undo it. James was right all the times he said they should’ve left Phoenix; you can’t both do things non-violently and stand and fight. Fighting means death, always. Moving every now and then would’ve been a pain but that’s the price. The price of staying is a slow descent into what she’s been trying to avoid and bringing others with her. This will be, I think, what ultimately breaks her and James apart.
