I gotta say not all that romantic to be like. I could see the ready made life with you that I want but didn't invest in earlier no I haven't actually said I love you but in this fantasy I could leapfrog to being married with a child that's not necessarily mine and isn't that the most important thing. what do you mean I'm still not being vulnerable or thinking about what you want

max needs to shut the fuck up. heads up gentlemen: when a woman says she needs some time and space to think about something, you'll know she's had enough time and space when she brings it up to you. and if you keep bringing it up to her before she is ready, she will only ever want to stop talking to you

Doctor Odyssey episode 1: We’re not equipped to do surgeries on board. We can only transport patients to a medical facility on land.

Doctor Odyssey every episode since then: We can perform any emergency surgery needed in this luxurious marble-clad designer suite without any equipment, medications, or supplies, during tsunami conditions and orca attacks, whether we have electricity, blood, sedatives or not, sometimes two at a time or three a day using techniques modern medicine has never even heard of, as long as we can all have sex before, during, and after.

my toxic trait is genuinely thinking that if someone responded to jason's pro-guns pro-killing argument by just looking him in the eye and going "what are you, a cop?" it would entirely change his perspective

I feel like it's also worth noting that Morgan (the main character of High Potential) is a subervsion of the "arrogant super genius" archetype, not just because she's a woman, but also because she's not an asshole. she's not always great with social cues, she makes mistakes, and she does pressure/embarrass suspects, but she's not intentionally rude as a default. she's incredibly extroverted and friendly, and she values the people around her even though they're not technically as smart as her.

what makes Morgan so refreshing is that even when she's flexing her intelligence she never does it in a way that puts down other people. she even makes it a point that her daughter, Ava, is just as important and special as her even though Ava doesn't have an IQ of 160. Morgan is a kind person, not just in terms of moral principles but also just in casual conversation. She's a chatty and positive single mom who wears colorful clothes and never sits down and she's probably my favorite ever depiction of the super genius archetype

Men need to stop watching tv shows with rude but "genius" protagonists (House, bbc sherlock, etc) because they WILL start believing they are a misunderstood genius instead of just an asshole

hot take: 8x05 was not actually a good episode

it was certainly an enjoyable episode, and it's definitely my favorite episode of the season so far. but if you take off the shipping goggles for a second and just actually analyze the content, it's not great.

Hen and Karen's argument is entirely contrived, and shouldn't be an argument they're having after several years of Hen being a married paramedic. And while Aisha, Tracie, and Declan's performances were outstanding, the whole arc of Denny almost dying felt entirely out of place with the rest of the largely goofy and unserious episode.

Athena's arc I absolutely hated. I have issues with how Athena treats kids that I'm not going to get into right now, but the way she treated those girls was incredibly unfair given that they weren't even the ones who ran into Denny. This show has a habit of making genz (not kids, specifcally genz culture) the butt of so many jokes, and as a genz kid, it's not that funny. if this arc was to teach kids about the dangers of doing dumb teenager shit, they absolutely went about it in the wrong way

and as for Buck and Tommy's arc. it was super fun and super cute, but why is it just Buck, Tommy, and Eddie? Buck gets cursed with a dislocated shoulder and boils and no one else seems to care? I don't remember super well, but I do know that Bobby, Hen, and Chim, weren't super involved in that arc.

when the episode started I thought to myself "this is gonna be like another jinx (4x06) episode". Jinx is one of, if not, my favorite episode of the show because of the fun firefam dynamics and the silliness of it all. but what made it work was the cohesiveness. all of the characters are involved in the plot together as a unit. Eddie has his own little thing going on on the side, but it doesn't take away from his role as part of the firefam. and while the episode does get a bit more serious and dramatic towards the end, it maintains a steady silly atmosphere the whole way that feels, again, much more cohesive.

also, with jinx, the title makes sense. masks kind of makes sense because it's halloween, and buck has the whole boils thing going on, but the title is largely unrelated. I mean, wouldn't it make more sense for an episode titled Masks to relate to how Eddie is masking his trauma over Shannon and his sadness at having Chris gone? Or how Bobby is masking his trauma over his nde at the end of last season? Or even how Buck maybe hasn't fully accepted himself as Not Straight? But true to form with this season, there's really no overall theme with the title

8x05 has some really fun and adorable moments, and like I said, it's still my favorite episode of the season. But honestly, it's just because I like Bucktommy. they get a lot of screen time for a cute and funny plot and it's super fun to watch, but the episode as a whole is not really a whole. it's just a bunch of random unrelated one-off arcs strung together around the loose "halloween" theme with no overarching message, moral, or otherwise connector. and doesn't it just say so much that what's considered to be the favorite episode of the season (at least within this section of the fandom) isn't even all that great

[whineandcheese24]

the scene at miceli's was so deeply OOC for both buck and tommy any way you look at it. the sole purpose of the scene was getting tommy to 'confess' about being engaged to dispatcher abby. the end goal of this scene was this confession (which....... was an odd choice in the first place. but i don't wanna get into that. also i already did it) everything else they threw in there kinda half-assed and with no regard for anything. it's such bad characterisation that the writers won't be able to explain away, at this point, even if they wanted to. like is there a single person in that room willing to stand up and go "WHEW! THAT LINE SURE WAS SUPER MISOGYNISTIC! LET'S DIAL IT BACK A BIT HUH!" like, you don't care about character consistency, but try not to be super sexist in the process of butchering them? so. fuck the scene at miceli's, it doesn't exist to me.
