#ProdigalSon reaction post, the abridged, unfunny version

I literally cannot bring myself to rewatch episode 1x19.  You might think it’s because of all the Steve, but I don’t do suicide.  Even implied.  The directing was so good it brought up a lot of personal stuff so, no.  Couldn’t even make gifs of the Brightwell edit scene (from yesterday) cause the emotions were too much.  Disclaimer out of the way, I do have some thoughts.

*So Steve.  Tom Payne is ridiculously talented, because his pain made me actually believe they had anything more together then some implied dates.  I knew I was too lucky when the preview made us think she had just vanished into the wind.  @sunshinetheperekeet will remember me confidently telling her she had a three episode arc, and was out before winter break.  My bad lol.

*As a Brightwell fan, we knew 5 minutes into the episode that any delusional hope we had of romantic growth between them was not happening this season.  I know they had to do some tap dancing to piece together the last two episodes when covid started, so who knows what was thrown out.  Based on some TP interviews, not sure they were ever planning to explore it this season.

*Now, people will argue Brightwell is slow burn..or probably in coming seasons.  Well this is FOX, and they still have not renewed it, and how can they?  We don’t know if they will be able to film with the state of the world.  Luckily, the PS community is awesome, and gives me enough fanfic to stay psyched about the prospect of them.  I do think we’ll get a bone next week.  It will be likely be platonic, and Steve related so.  Sigh.

*The team supporting Malcolm through everything was beautiful.  

*Dani is the best character.  Aurora is also the best actress.  I don’t make the rules.  The fight scene was fucking fantastic.  I hope if it gets renewed that they explore Dani’s backstory more.  The actress is so amazing she could do anything, so PS would be smart to give her material worth staying for.

*Gil/Jessica, @sunshinetheperekeet and I have theorized from the pilot they were sleeping together, and or cheating on Jackie.  Guess we were wrong, but it seems they are sleeping together moving forward.  I love them, and will happily ship them.  Who is writing me fanfic?  I want it from pre Jackie yo.

*Endicott.  I know he’s suppose to freak me out, but those two missing episodes must have had some real creepy stuff.  I see Fiona’s ex boyfriend from Shameless whenever I see him.  The breakfast scene was lol though.

*I don’t want to comment too much on the ending as I believe the Brightwell twitter mafia has figured it out for SURE lol.  

I took Tuesday off.  You all should, this is an all night event.

#ProdigalSon episode 1x18, prepare yourself for so much Steve you’ll wonder why I’m even doing this

Here’s some pretty Malcolm, my apologies in advance for the shit show of a late reaction post will be.

*Ok so it opens with Malcolm and The Girl in the Box, out of the box dressed as a TGIF Hostess.  ICK stEve napping on his couch.  I think I blocked all this out.

*stEve, wake up.  I’d like my father to try and murder you.  Come, come, it’s a right of passage.

*Jessica at the Ball.  I love the mean rich women banter.   I know he ends up being a psychopathic killer worse than the surgeon right?  Jessica definitely has a type.

*OK the male ballerina throwing up blood on everyone, very Suspiria guys.

*OH 5 seconds of Brightwell talk I missed.  I blame the blood bath.

*Dani’s hair is longer and beautiful.  I just wanted to note that as it is important to the plot.

*Gil jelly of Nicholas.  I love it.  I live for it.  Give it to me show.

*LOL Edrisa getting barreled over by Jessica is magical “We’ll hang out later.”

*Malcolm you don’t need to help her.  We’ve taken a vote and think you should adopt a puppy instead.

*So is this new Martin Whitly warning special for dumb dumb?

*She goes over the line cause she’s dramatic, and wanted Malcolm to pull her back like Springer.  I know they set this up, I also know I slept through most of it.

*Martin hating her is the sun, cause we know he loves him some Dani.  Wait.  No, I stick with this.

*I don’t know if I can do that again..OH COME ON, your emmy is in the mail.  I just, so much wasted Dani time.  

*When Dani speaks the show improves.  Fact.

*Did they straighten and then recurl Aurora’s hair?  Blasphemy.  

*Needy Martin is like my cat when he thinks he needs more food.  He doesn’t.

*Malcolm and Dani all Law and Ordering the witnesses.  Sexy.  Gil & JT, same.

*The eye contact bit, I swear my neighbors are going to call the police one day.  Very appropriate reaction to burning eye balls I imagine.

*LOL all the evidence of terror.  I went to dance for 10 years, this shit is real yo.

*LOLLLLLL the burn talk about fire ants.  

*I’m not sad we may be missing two episodes of Jessica fawning over Nicholas just to be shown she’s got a thing for murderers.  LMAO Martin saying Steve struck him.  HAHHAHAHA.  Jessica teasing him.  I love everything they do with them.

*Martin’s flashback. His crazy laughing into the ballet, lovely directing.

*This lioness actress is familiar, but I’m too lazy to google why.  A task for another day.  Big Love maybe.

*the way Gil says Jessica’s friend LOLOLOL.  Yes, LDP, yes.

*Too much house for me, its like, we get it LOL!  Oh you precious baby angel.

*Jessica, hot date?  You are Gil’s girl.  It’s cannon.  Jessica’s denial LOL.  Gurl, your son has NEVER been wrong.  Well, about people trying to kill you at least.

*JUAN TARMEL.  It’s Jifar Teragon Tarmel III mutha fers.

*Steve sketchy arse.  Bye Felicia.

*OMG Gil just saved Bright like a damn superhero.

*Bright’s graceful leap is a thing of beauty.

*If Malcolm was trying to talk me down I’d be like, sure handsome, whatever you say

*Malcolm just had a closer embrace with Fiona then he has with Dani since his night terror.  Who can I sue?

*I knew Malcolm was a Dancer.

*UUUUHHHHGGGGGG Steve.  Her goading him on, do it girl.  Poke the bear.

*Men worse than Martin.  Muahahaha.

*So she’s alive or...If you love her stop her.  He’s like...no..please..stop..ok..see you.  You’ll be back to bring misery to fans everywhere.  Let her go.  YUCK kiss.  BYE.  ok bye.  why are you listed in future episodes.  I just.  Ick.

*The Gil/Jessica from the preview will be perfection.  If I don’t get any Brightwell in the last two episodes I will melt into a puddle until Fox renews it.

A very #Brightwell centric #ProdigalSon reaction post by a crazed fangirl

This is my first rewatch since last night.  Minus the 35 times I watched him say Wow, you look amazing, and the 99 times I watched him lose his words when she was vulnerably waiting for this epic confession.  My stomach gets heated when it happens. HOLY hell, let me start this lol.

*Martin’s nightmare was surprising for me.  Maybe his reaction last week was real.  Meh, I don’ t trust him.  

*PRESSURE!!!!!  Nice music.  Malcolm failing at relaxing, poor guy.  Why..why you gotta show me Steve this episode?  We were having such  a good time.

*Ainsley is such a little Diane Sawyer

*MALCOLM IN THE WHITE SUIT!!  @atomrealm you were all I thought about.  I wish I could have seen the joy on your face xo.  I am enjoying it thoroughly.

*LMAO at Malcolm deploying to a war zone.

*Crime scene on the way, COME on GIL.  Quick drive by, in and out.  I love him shouting fine.  Suit joke ftw.

*His name is Jessie, yes...did we just learn his name.  Help, I think I just stroked out.  Dani told him off for the Miami vice joke and I died from joy. Eta..I watched with closed captions she said JT lol. If his name is Jessie I'll be thrilled.

*LMAO Edrisa, comedy comes in threes.  I love her with all of my being.

*I watched this scene an obscene amount of times.  “We’re not leaving you!” Dani.  OMG.  When turns to Dani, and I swear chickens out once again on sharing his feelings.  Dude, you could die.  Be happy.  Her emotional reaction before and after---perfection.  I did not know we were getting this amount of Brightwell.  I loved it all.

*Malcolm is Superman.  Imagine if he wasn’t there, he is a hero.

*Ahahaha, should I have said I love you?

*R.I.P. Gil’s sweet ride.  Cause, he needed to almost die.  He’s the read shirt who lives, but almost dies every episode.  Whump fest, love it.

*Martin in group therapy.  LMAO Hector captures Malcolm.  I love everything this scene is.  “Hey.” LOLOLOL.  I heart Hector.  “but dad, you kill people, and you’re a dick.”  Bravo.  I love you too.  perfect scene is perfect.

*Gil stroking his rabbit’s foot.  So sad lol.  “Kid” awe

*Dani, nice seat choice.  Yes to all of this.  The speaker call.  LOL to Gil constantly just doing stuff like, what’s the worst that can happen?  

*Him hanging up on Martin when he speaks to Dani LOL.  I was like, he’s protecting her.  

*Your dad seems nice, i’m getting this tattoo.

*I like the Jessica and Ainsley bonding.  So sweet.

*THIS crime scene is the movie SAW and I won’t hear any arguments against that.  Why is Malcolm ALWAYS the sacrificial lamb?  I do love Dani being like, wtf are you doing?  She cares bb.  The department of falling sword death?  LMAO.  Also, silver metal axe thrower.  I hope he teaches Dani.

*How is Malcolm multitasking right now, I can’t even remember to drink water when I live tweet.  Boy wonder.

*They have such elaborate murder plots.  You cut, I’ll catch.  AHHH.  Trust.  Teamwork.  I love it.

*I still can’t focus on this murder story when I know what’s coming.  I actually had to just rewind it because I fell down a tumblr hole of Brightwell posts.

*The location shots on this show are great.  

*Malcolm politely asking him not to move, lol.  Has that ever worked though?

*breathless Malcolm, ftw--that hair tho.

*Powell will give you a ride.  Gil ships it so hard.

*OMG their personal talk in her car.  Him trying to get her to understand his living nightmare, and she tries to make him laugh.  Awe.  I heart this scene so much.  She gives him the choice, and OMG.  Didn’t he hang up to protect her?  He’s like, dad this is my gir--my Dani..Girlfriend?  Partner..um, yes, that label is fine by me.

*She’s like, please don’t mess with your father..he cray, and you are hurting.  Now she knows what has been haunting him.  Sad Malcolm is killing me.  I can’t believe this much happens before she asks him what he was going to say.

*Malcolm/Dani/Martin solving the crime lol.  Have fun, love Martin.  I love the shopping scene.  KID YOU’RE DONE, Gil you precious teddy bear.  

*The WOW scene.  I wanted this type of reaction in episode 5, but it was  sweeter now.  The smile she gives him after her dis, OMG, she is the SUN.

*Malcolm in a black tux is my new favorite.  He looks like 007.  

*Dani LOOKS incredible, next time keep her hair curly and up.  She is gorgeous.  She asks him what he was gonna say to her before he blew up..he blows her off like usual, and she looks disappointed.  Us too babe.  Someone get him high or drunk, it’s the only time he’s emotionally vulnerable when she puts herself out there.  Dani, speak up.  He’s a human man puppy.  Worth the prodding.  

*OMG them close talking.  Whoever wrote and directed this, chef’s kiss.  Tom and Aurora’s chemistry..i can’t with this stupid ship.

*I’m gonna talk about dads, cause that’s what people do” I love his improv, tell me he just improvs this whole scene.  Fathers do bone it, from time to time-LOL.  They sure do.

*I love that the murderers are always so patient with Malcolm’s Mensa speeches.  It is mesmerizing.  Nope, OUCH-Dani’s take down was bad ass.  Sad that is her last scene.  Do we have to wait through Steve to get them.  Ok, but I’m gonna complain the entire time.

*The Malcolm fan club.  So cute.  Jessica and Malcolm, another awe.  Him acknowledging Ainsley was sweet.  Him in that with tux the air blowing, stunning!

*It was a great show, which ties with episode 5 for me, maybe even surpasses.
