Forcing myself to watch Bad Batch and I thought it was so funny how Omega somehow immediately sussed out that she was older than Hera and leaned into the “cool older friend who’s allowed to do whatever they want” vibe really hard. She’s so silly

Ghost files Alone really good I think it really shows that Ryan worked on it it has written "made by Ryan Bergara" all over it from the composition shots to the storytelling to the silly "I'm gonna take water from church and it's like half holy water isn't it". I think for people who like/miss bfu it's gonna be great watch bc it involves all the things people missed from that other show. But it also builds on the legacy of ghost files (rules, challenges. gf font) so it's like. A perfect mix of both things.

I really like it the location is really creepy sounding from the introduction to it, Ryan knows how to make it interesting and suspenseful and it is as everything they make at watcher painfully earnest. You can see that there are some personal stakes in it that he does it for the good of the show and also for himself to test his abilities as a ghost hunter and filmmaker. (When it was like created&directed by Ryan Bergara at the end you can really see that he's alone).

Really refreshing while playing into some familiar bits I think this is great. Hope he doesn't go insane making this show but I also admire the dedication to his craft. Truly the bravest ghost hunter who ever lived.

ok im waffling on about fallout instead of having breakfast but i saw a criticism of how the prisoners were treated that's stuck with me.

spoilers!

so i think the criticism wasn't incorrect, per se: it condemned the way the show portrayed the vault dweller's naive intention to rehabilitate their murderous captives. it found fault with a common, and horrible, message that tv shows like to say, which is that carcerial violence and even the death penalty is the only effective way to deal with criminals, who are a fundamentally Bad category of human. im sick of that message too! but i think that wasn't what was going on here, actually.

so like, the vault dwellers had only ever experienced violent loss the once, and didn't really know how to cope other than denial and repression of the ordeal. but they were all hopeful and enthusiastic that their prisoners, the invaders that came to kill them all and take their stuff, could be eventually welcomed into the community as their comrades. the champions of this cause were nebbishy dorks and painfully out of touch academics. this is pretty normal for how prison reformers are portrayed, if extremely fucking annoying for those of us who ARE in favor of prison reform.

but so of course when the son of the former overseer, Norm, speaks up and suggests killing the prisoners, because why should they share resources with invaders who explicitly wanted to keep hurting them? why should they show mercy to their attackers? everyone is appalled by this suggestion. because they had to reinvent the whole concept of vengeance right then and there, because grudges and cycles of violence are anathema to a bottle society like theirs. they have been raised all their lives to forgive and forget and now, put to the test, they're recommitting to this ethos: get along, let the past go, look towards the future, believe the best of everyone.

but the prisoners die, anyway. the prisoners are killed with rat poison. and the thing is that Norm who suggested it didn't do it himself. and the prison guard who's blamed for it, even though she privately agreed with Norm that the prisoners are dangerous and unforgiveable, she didn't do it either. it's not a moment of triumphant, cathartic vengeance and it doesn't prove that there's no way to negotiate with terrorists and invaders but kill them like vermin because that's not what the message is meant to be.

the message is that norm stands there in the middle of these inconvenient prisoners, these corpses dressed in his own people's uniforms, and he looks at the new overseer. and he knows that she killed them, and she knows that he knows. she wanted him to know. this is her message and he's reading her loud and clear. and he doesn't look like a guy who's just been backed up by authority, who's just been validated in his desire for the ultimate control over those who have wronged him.

he's scared and pale and the music is ominous as fuck. and he's inside the cell, he's directly in the middle of it.

because what just happened is that he realized his entire society is being held prisoner, and the overseer is the one with the rat poison. and that he doesn't know, anymore, what freedom and safety and justice actually mean, just that he doesn't have them and he doesn't know where to find them.

that's what that scene meant. not that rehabilitative justice is a pathetic delusion of people who have no idea how to make hard choices.

but that before you advocate for killing prisoners, you might want to see how big that prison is, first.

and which side of the bars you're standing on.

lol, I just got a comment telling me

"as for the classism commentary going invisible for you, that's because the actual classism in arcane vanished entirely with Caitlyn forgiving Jinx and letting go of her hatred"

and that's on show runners influencing how people see real life problems
