just wanted to share this scene that was cut from the last chapter where, even after this blond dumbass just admitted to eating monsters and using black magic, kabru was still prepared to side with him against shuro if a fight broke out

one of my favorite details in Netflix' Wednesday is the use of tortured wordplay with 'woe' for the episode titles, linguistically it fits with the eccentric and gruesome vibes of the show. obsessed with 'woe what a night' & 'quid pro woe' personally

I'm rewatching Manner of Death with my friends who have never seen it in advance of 4 Minutes Friday, and experiencing Inspector M with people who have seen Wandee Goodday and more or less shriek like they're at a Beatles concert every time Great comes onscreen means I'm paying a lot more attention to his character this time around instead of just giggling at his incompetence and gratuitously tight uniform, then redirecting my attention. We all firmly believe he's in love with Doctor Bun but physiologically incapable of not fumbling that bag every chance he gets; I cannot believe M had a chance to court the hot doctor before every other character in the series fell in love with him, and he left Bun alone at a club to go pratfall into his future husband's arms instead of properly wining and dining him himself. Absolutely a metaphor for his police work. For me the absolute funniest thing M did so far was get REALLY insulted and upset when Doctor Bun said cops were wasting taxpayer dollars, like this really genuinely hurt his feelings, and go out of his way to follow ONE SINGLE CLUE (the abortion clinic clue he got from the journalist's laptop which BUN put all the effort and legwork into finding and rightfully steals back later), finally do ONE SINGLE PIECE OF WORK (but also arrest Fan, the town hero, so even his one win comes with innate-to-the-job copfails), and come running back to freely hand Bun police documents and bring him into a police interrogation just so he can be like see? see? I am helpful and good! I am still an eligible bachelor in a uniform three sizes too tight wyd tonight

Like he actually says out loud "Now do you think the police are wasting taxpayer dollars :D?" after he does this. He genuinely wants Doctor Bun's approval so badly despite making choice after choice that confirms every ACAB opinion he has. Lol I don't know if I can get across how funny I am finding it but I do think his writing is pretty great in that he is a COP cop, he obviously really believes in the police as an institution and will always choose them first and obey his commander's commands, but this hot man reading him to filth every time he turns around is still shaking him and making him want himself and the police as an institution to be able to be something they're not. Which is an entertaining position for an incompetent policeman to find himself in. I am enjoying it greatly.

911 is so insane because they're constantly like trauma???

What is that?

Buck and water? Eddie and open streets? Hen and the sirens? Chim and cars? Bobby and large structural FIRE???

Nah it's all good. Until we need a bit of drama and an award winning performance then we torture em with it.

Otherwise we ball.

Episode 9 of Fargo is titled "The Useless Hand". Perhaps it is a deliberate method of foreshadowing part of the final episode...

Ole Munch's speech describes Gator as the "Useless Hand". He is returned "without function". This is how Roy has ALWAYS viewed Gator. This is how Gator, as a result, has viewed himself.

But perhaps this will foreshadow the opposite. Perhaps the useless hand will become useful. Even though he cannot see, Gator still can speak. It is words and truths that can be most useful in the upcoming episode.

Perhaps Gator will find his purpose by revealing the truths of what his father has done.

In the Oedipus play, there are a couple of quotes that strike me as similar to Gator's situation:

You, with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live with.

Gator is "blind" to his father's ways. He refuses to see Roy for the horrible person he is.

However, another line is also striking. Here, Oedipus speaks to a blind prophet:

Blind as you are, you can feel all the more what sickness haunts our city. You, my lord, are the one shield, the one savior we can find.

The sickness is Roy and his corruption. However, Gator is now the one who is literally blind. He may finally be able to see the truths of Roy's ways and perhaps even act upon them. Be a "savior" of sorts that help bring down his father.

Gator, though dubbed a useless hand, may finally serve a purpose, as he is awakened to the reality of his life through his blindness.

Captain comedy connections

I’ve always said that the way I feel about the Captain, and the reason he was my instant favourite, is this: it’s like walking into a party and seeing someone you know. The ‘blustering but ineffectual authority figure’ is a really recognisable comedy staple. Just him being there positions Ghosts in a long line of classic British sitcoms. And then they flipped that archetype by giving him a relatable inner conflict and all his funny little idiosyncrasies, all those hints at the real person buried beneath the persona ♡ Anyway, none of these characters are identical to Captain, but I think he certainly shares some of their DNA and I just felt like gathering them together
