the intro to clarke griffin being her in isolation yearning to be outside really did me in as a teen… and one of clarke’s pivotal moments in her life after having lived on earth is her being Left Alone did me in years later

The fact that I liked Stiles/Lydia from the start but jumped on Stiles/Malia when they got together immediately should've clued me in that I'd go from routing for Buddie endgame to mainly shipping Bucktommy.

The difference is that I was never in the Teen Wolf fandom, so when Stiles and Malia broke up on my screen I was sad, but then I cheered for Stiles and Lydia again whereas I'd probably actually quit 911 if Buddie happened anytime soon because the fandom would be hell.

Like thank you, but no thank you.

Does Crowley know the magic shopkeeper is about to die?

Obviously not the cause of death (unless Furfur/the zombies are very incompetent… which, actually, fair).

But maybe the general timeline? Because, ok, when Hastur and Ligur are handing off the antichrist, they recount the deeds of the day. At the end, they both throw in “within a year, we will have him.” That means they know when people will die? Unless “have him” just means their soul is damned, exact time of arrival uncertain.

Either way, the absolute pageantry of Crowley saying “is A life worth more than 27 pounds and 5 shillings?” in response to the shopkeeper talking about Aziraphale’s life. The theater! The snake-tonguedness! The £20 note sliding across the counter like an unsigned infernal contract!

Because Crowley isn’t paying for Aziraphale’s life. And there’s only one soul the shopkeeper can sell.

I missed them too... i always wanted to see more father-daughter dynamic between Kane and Clarke, and more of weird moments between their pairings (i mean, Clexa and Kabby, cause it would be hilarious)

No matter who wears the pin, we’re in this together

introducing my series on the pitt not being fucking slick!!

pt. 1 of who knows y'all, i have lost the plot: the first ten minutes of 1x01

one of the more important aspects of the first episode of a tv series is how the characters are introduced to the audience. a well-crafted premiere will let the audience know who the main players are and why they should care about them, which includes establishing the relationships between those characters (or at the very least hinting at what those relationships might be). this should ideally be accomplished in a subtle manner (i.e., so the audience doesn’t feel like they’re being beaten over the head with information) and as succinctly as possible. many of the best tv premieres do all of this within the first couple of minutes of the episode.

the pitt follows that formula. within the first ten-ish minutes, we are introduced to all of our main characters and are subtly informed of how they relate to one another. some of this is accomplished through dialogue, but a good chunk of it is shown through visuals.

for example, we don’t need to be told that robby is the main character — the show communicates that information to us by having him be the first person we see on screen and the camera following him during the first minute or so of the episode. in contrast, the next main character we’re introduced to is dana. but dana isn’t really the focus of her own introduction. instead, she’s being used to provide exposition telling us more about robby. dana serves that same function in the very next scene, but to introduce collins instead. this creates a connection between robby and collins in the viewer’s mind. we don’t know who they are to each other yet, but we do have the sense that these characters must be important to one another. this sequence ultimately indicates that robby and collins are kind of like 1A and 1B as far as character importance goes in the pitt.

once robby and abbot are done with #rooftime, we’re reminded again of the connection between robby and collins through a camera angle showing that she is looking over at him from across the emergency department. from this shot, we know the two are directly across from one another. while collins is looking over at robby, we are introduced to our next main character, langdon, when he walks up to speak with her. after a short exchange, the scene abruptly cuts to another new character, mel, being introduced when she walks up to robby. and due to the earlier shot of collins looking over at robby, we know this must mean that langdon and mel are standing directly across from one another as well.

since the audience is already subconsciously aware of the importance of robby and collins’ relationship, mel and langdon being introduced through back-to-back interactions with those two characters starts to create a connection between them in the audience’s mind before they even speak. it also establishes them as the 2A and 2B to robby and collins’ 1A and 1B. additionally, the characters’ positioning in this scene creates our first parallel between the two relationships (though it's certainly not the last), with each standing across from their partner. this, along with other parallels between the two relationships in 1x01, hint at mel and langdon being a sort of younger, less traumatized version of robby and collins (one such instance is discussed here). while robby and collins are both pessimistic about the upcoming shift (and who can blame them lmao), langdon and mel range from upbeat (langdon) to 100% optimistic (my sweetie pie mel).

after this, mohan is introduced via a conversation between her and robby. the rest of our main characters are then introduced when mckay shows santos, whitaker, and javadi around the waiting room. mel’s earlier introduction is an interesting choice, as it narratively and visually separates her from the other newbies, even though it would make logical sense for her to be introduced with this group. because of this, the choice to pair mel with langdon, robby, and collins feels incredibly intentional.

and the show continues to do so throughout its first ten minutes. when all of the doctors gather for rounds, mel is still alongside those three while the rest of the doctors are on the other side, mostly offscreen. when mel introduces herself to the group, langdon is shown to be watching her from the background in contrast with every other character in the shot looking away from her. once the group officially begins rounding, mel continues to be primarily shown with langdon, robby, and collins. mel and langdon are visually paired up at least three times during this short sequence, including one moment where robby and collins are leading the group while langdon and mel walk together just behind them (which is such a lovely representation of the 1A/1B and 2A/2B idea).

after a bit of foreshadowing of langdon’s addiction through the doctors interacting with louie, the show transitions from this ten-minute introduction period to the real action of the episode with the arrival of the train track patients. however, the purpose of those first ten minutes has been served: the audience now knows all of the characters and is subconsciously primed for how the relationships between those characters will unfold.

tl;dr the first ten minutes of 1x01 have several indicators that mel and langdon will be one of the most important relationships on the show, and consistently parallels the two with the only relationship that has been confirmed to be romantic thus far, robby and collins.
