#but i'd watch it. every episode.

[gayspock]

i love it when a tv show has lows that are so low you're so ashamed to ever show it to anyone ever but then highs that melt your brain a bit, like, "good fucking god, this is genuinely such an astounding piece of craftmanship... my perception of the medium, and perhaps of myself, has been challenged/changed in 40 minutes" but you cant even express that to ppl without feeling like youre fucking deranged bc my god the lows .....

#Egg.txt #sorry i saw gar watched Hush recently and like #my god thats such a good episode of television . like sincerely fucking solid. like damn man. #and theres other eps of buffy i'd rank among that i.e a certain s5 episode that just still gives me chills to think about #but this also goes for trek + doctor who + farscape + and any and every lame little campy show out there #that just needs to fuck your head wide open sometimes #maybe that why i have enjoyed bsg but i havent like fucking Melded with it yet because its highs and its lows are both there but it doesnt #ever touch the extremes of either #i need something so so bad and so so good at once that makes mefeel like im insane #god i might go rewatch some tos soon #but yeah ok abt bsg maybe its alsojust #laccking a sincerity to it sometimes #and not just in how its a darker/grittier #but just in general i feel like .........hm. idk.. #let me ponder

get through episode 3x03 of anne with an e without absolutely bawling your fucking eyes out challenge never completed by a living human

#anne with an e #does this post even make sense #anyway I'm rewatching as I do every december and every time i just cry and cry and cry in this episode #it doesn't help that they start the episode with matthew showing delphine around the farm and being so so careful with her #but god the whole garden scene!!! sobbing like a baby!!!! #I'd watch 700000 seasons of this show

in my dreams i visualise beautiful data sheets that contain information about every single alliance in the life series complete with statistics and colour-coded tables

#SIGH #i'd make it but it'd require literally watching every single life series episode ever released to find out who teamed up with who #because id want to do it in a way thats like. if anyone teamed up with another person for more than one entire episode it counts. or smthn #and i do not have the time to scrobble thru like. 100 videos to find that out #or maybe i do. but i dont want to do it right now LOL

every time a tv show has less than 12 episodes per season an angel shits its own organs out and dies

#call it a miniseries if you must but like. this could be a movie #and it doesn't take advantage of the medium of tv!!! if the story isn't right for that format that's ok but you're not taking it to its ful #potential ya know? #I think this is because of like the binge watching model and having seasons short enough you can watch them in one sitting but hmmmm #I think there's already a word for that I cant put my finger on it #oh right #ITS A FUCKING MOVIE #even 12 episodes is like. kinda pushing it tbh #some shows do it well (madoka magica's pacing is great for example) #but like. I miss 20 episode seasons #not to mention some shows like precure that have been going on every week since before this trend started have 50 episodes per season #thats insane and absolutely not like a standard I'd hold anyone to but damn

[panncakes]

so i caught up on last twilight and here's my thoughts;

it's good; it'll wreck me i can feel it;

p'aof has this way of making me believe and understand why two characters fall in love; he really understands how important it is to show they enjoy each other's company and why they do before going deeper into any potential romantic feelings;

i also really like that their romance feels slow and gradual while still feeling rather nicely paced; there was room for them become friends and establish a proper relationship and still have both of them realize they have romantic feelings as well within four episodes;

the further we get into the story the less worried i am about them wanting to 'fix' day; whether it will remain a vague possibility in the future or losing the hope of ever getting his sight back is going to be part of day's arc (i personally think the latter rn); i don't think they'll make day getting his sight back the 'happy ending' i was worried about during the first two episodes (pls p'aof don't make my trust misplaced);

i know jimmy from bad buddy obviously and i know he's adored; but sea has been criminally underrepresented on my dash; his smile is the cutest

#last twilight #i knew i'd get invested #which is why i postponed watching lmao #but yeah if every episodes keeping being better than the last idk how this won't end as one of my fave bls

I mean, who hasn't lovingly grabbed their best friend's hips while reassuring them of their innocence

#extremely heterosexual behaviour i tell you. completely and utterly straight #this is one of my absolute favourite episodes!! i couldn't make a watch thread because i'd stop every two seconds to comment something lmao #but i just had to point this out #like she goes for the elbows but then she full on hugs blanche's waist. and i don't blame her but also #wife behaviour #blanche & dorothy especially are very romantic in this episode i think. they spend entire scenes touching / in close contact #i also saved another screenshot where they are in such a married pose lmao #this is just a Really Gay Episode in general. murder mysteries are already gay culture in my book #at the beginning Dorothy quotes a passage from a book and she chooses the one that describes a beautiful woman. girl idk how to tell you... #and it's gay for me because i literally ascend every time i see blanche's shoulders. who allowed her to wear that frilly dress #because she makes me 500% gayer every time i see her in it #i have even more gay comments on this but. i'll keep them to myself. #anyway yeah enjoy the blanche/dorothy of it all #this is S7E2: the case of the libertine belle #the golden girls #golden wives

So I saw this show I used to watch as a kid on a streaming service, Hoarders, and it's about, as you'd assume, people who compulsively hoard.

When I watched that show as a kid, I remember how you were invited to almost... judge these people, "Oh, how could you live like that?! I'm glad that's not my house..." and I remember this shock factor that sunk you into the episode, at least in the early seasons.

I think it's a product of the attitude we have about these sorts of things. When I look at that now, all I see is trauma, people who are suffering, and then essentially being shamed on television, no less. It just feels like watching somebody at their lowest for an hour, recounting trauma, disability, loss and grief, mental illness, and so many things.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #ask to tag #man though... i was super young when i actually watched that series though like this is like maybe 2010 we're talking #and look maybe i'm a hashtag snowflake who is too concerned about this shit but... i'd rather be a snowflake #i just remember the tears and the person who was compulsively hoarding being stressed and pressured #and it just makes me think about how entitled people are about mentally ill people #i'm not saying that these people didn't need help. i'm just saying that a camera crew probably shouldn't be part of it #i think about my worst episodes of mental illness and it's like would i have wanted a camera crew? like even if i had said yes in the past #i just think it's complex and nuanced and that's why i'm not trying to shame anyone about this based on opinion #i concede that i am not an expert and i also can say that i personally don't think it (the show) was done in good faith every time #feel like my words may/will be misinterpreted/misrepresented about this but i hold true #like i tried watching an episode just in case i was wrong and. i was not having a good time. even when the expert they got came on #really didn't like the way she introduced herself with 'ooh i KNEW i came to the right place when i saw the yard' like it was funny :/

Yuzo Kayama's Black Jack (1981) on archive.org!

An extremely rare and expensive Black Jack adaptation, now available online FOR FREE!

This adaptation is known for its radical scenario change, where Black Jack is the secret identity of Jiro Bando, an art gallery director. Along with an expanded supporting cast, Jiro and Black Jack get into situations that are relatively accurate to the manga.

There are 12 episodes, with a banned 13th not included here (on why it's banned, please read here (in Japanese)). The episodes are written by James Miki, who also wrote the screenplay for The Visitor In The Eye (1977).

Chapters adapted include The Mask Chosen, Revenge Is My Life, Black Jack In Hospital, The Last Train, and more~

If you can stomach the changes, it's an interesting watch!! I'd recommend it if you like The Visitor In The Eye, goofy 70s/80s dramas, or shows that play with secret identities.

Please enjoy! And stream Yuzo Kayama's music while you're at it :P

#black jack #osamu tezuka #yuzo kayama #bj liveblogging #my personal fav eps are 4 8 and 11 if you don't feel like watching every one-- they're episodic so you can skip around #though i'd recommend watching it all for the sheer novelty

was just rewatching Jack Saint and Patricia Taxxon's video on Mauler (it's called "Long Critique Is Not Deep Critique" and it's like actually so fucking good) and was so taken aback by hearing Twin Peaks music in there now that i've actually seen Twin Peaks lmao, that Laura Palmer theme is so fucking good, Angelo Badlamenti is just truly on another level, i already wanna rewatch the show now (S02 is good, y'all are just cowards).

#james talks #twin peaks #i saw both seasons last year back when i was still on twitter #and haven't seen The Return yet. might do a full rewatch just to be able to watch The Return properly. #plus i wanna rewatch now that i've actually seen Fire Walk With Me which i was pretty disappointed by the first time #and The Missing Pieces really helped me get over some of that disappointment #i miss Log Lady. i hope The Return also has her introducing the episodes like the original show does. #anyway the video itself is very good #love coming back to it every year or so to plumb its depth and remind myself to reign in my desires to keep getting my work longer #like i'd like to think even my longest critiques on letterboxd like my 8000 word CA: Civil War review is pretty substantive #i don't do summary at all really so it's just my opinions about stuff and what worked and didn’t work for me and why and stuff #and a bunch of criticism with mild praise #but anyway love the video #it's really good #go watch it if you haven't #also if you're curious about my thoughts on all of Twin Peaks that i've seen: they're all in my FWWM review on letterboxd. link in bio. #jack saint #patricia taxxon #mauler

The thing is that yes, 13 herself is good, but the show as a whole just wasn't great during her run. Something something there's a baby in this dumpster

yeah like i recognise that most ppl just disliked the show even if they liked her but that's like... almost worse to me? coz i rly love her seasons like i hate the big twist as do most ppl but like it's literally doctor who i'm used to bad decisions. but like the episodes themselves are fine? good even?? i mean there's some i think suck ass like rosa or kerblam but a lot of them are like really good??? and it literally just. makes me really sad that ppl put up with 6 seasons of moffat but literally immediately gave up on 13. like it was actually fucking insane to watch how hyped everyone (EVEN non dw fans) was about her turning into a woman and then the fandom just. disappeared. like idk obviously i cant fault anyone for liking/disliking whatever they want but it makes me so fucking sad.. i like her & her era so much and it seems like 99% of people are only willing to acknowledge it even exists when they wanna make a gender joke abt tennant or when it'd look weird to not include 13 so they include her even tho they know nothing about her or completely misinterpret her as a silly goofy friendly #girlie coz people are chronically incapable of engaging w text if it's a woman

#like again i cant. like. fault ppl for not liking it coz like ppl are gonna like what they like you cant force it #but it makes me so fucking sadddd she's everything to me.... #we had a long ass convo abt this exact topic last night/this morning w 2 separate ppl so funny timing #but like tldr yeah i get that ppl dont like the episodes it just makes me really sad💔 #especially since ppl are always willing to suffer through moffat but somehow not 13 ?? even ppl who hate the moffat era #and like at this point I'd rather ppl leave 13 out of things and say they hate women than see another one of #those character memes where op sorts every doctor into categories and somehow for some mysterious reason always #puts 13 as the fucking idiot dumbass who knows nothing #like it's just painful to me that's my girl and ppl are either unwilling to watch her or misinterpret her so much it becomes misogynistic #i got mail! #doctor who #13th doctor

an absolute wave of homesickness for Doctor Who (2005) series 1-2 just about knocks me over at the quietest moments of my little life

#it was such a specific time. I was just a kiddo #still living with my parents with a giant bedroom downstairs all to myself #it used to be a hair studio or something for whoever lived there before us. and I had this massive room with a table to draw and write at #and a tiny twin bed and I used to set up a projector against the opposite wall and hook it up to my laptop and watch DW to fall asleep #enthralled. couldn't believe the show I'd found. couldn't believe how much I loved Rose and loved the Doctor #you could not drag me away from it. I could not stop talking about it or thinking about it. Matt Smith had just become the Doctor and I- #-had so much content left to consume. and everything was simple. I didn't have a job at the time and every day was creativity #I used to write so much I'd forget to eat. and Doctor Who was the background music of my life back then #I miss winter nights swearing I'd only watch one more episode before I went to bed. all by myself. my family hadn't discovered the show yet #in that small single bed with four blankets and Doctor Who on the wall. drooling over timepetals and pausing and rewinding constantly #that time of my life was so safe and so secure and my imagination was so hungry and DW was feeding it and it was my first time seeing it #I miss that. I miss knowing it couldn't be ruined and there was more yet to see on live television with Eleven when I got caught up #and meeting Matt Smith's Doctor on my own while my family had just then started watching it themselves with Nine? magic #nostalgia #dw #doctor who #bbc #timepetals #dr who #rose tyler #doctor who 2005 #tenth doctor #tenrose #elevenrose #ninerose #nine #ninth doctor #ten #eleven #eleventh doctor

[paranoidpoltergeist]

Starscream is genuinely such a tragic character because as much as he's just kinda crazy every iteration has something that just makes u feel so bad for him.

IDW Starscream is something I couldn't scrape the surface of if you gave me 107 days. G1 Starscream's is not only mainly just used for comic relief the poor guy, but he lost his partner who then turns around and in his eyes betrays him. I mean Skyfire had every right to go "what in the fuc" and dip but the fact he went with Starscream in the first place tells me that somewhere along the way something happened to make him go coocoo.

In prime he was seemingly manipulated into joining the Decepticons and then constantly talked down to. From my perspective it honestly just seemed like Starscream was after praise or recognition which he never gets, now if this is because Megatron's a dick or because of the dark energon idk. I mean he kept the Decepticons afloat the entire time Megatron was gone chasing what was by all accounts a myth and did more then we saw Megs do THE ENTIRE SERIES. He managed to kill an Autobot, we never actually see any casualties and they've got a steady flow of energon.

I mean even in RID his main goal was to just kill Megs and tbh if I'd been beat down over everything I did, even if it was wrong bc I personally thought it was the right way to go about it, I'd be majorly pissed too. Yeah he wants control of the Decepticons but(and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong it's been a very long time since I've watched prime) I only remember him actually attempting to kill Megatron once or twice. Sure he was self serving but just bc he wants respect.

Bayverse Starscream was just the saddest thing I've ever seen. He could breathe and Megatron was drop kicking him off a building, didn't even get to be the treacherous sic jeez💀

Dude the WFC Trilogy was so wild idek how to word it so kind of a take on his character as a whole here. It was weird and characterizations were way off but I actually liked Starscream. He was still the guy we know and love but with a neat twist. He still had that tragic feeling to him especially getting traumatized and all but Dinobot telling him everything he went through wasn't an excuse to hurt other people was just *chefs kiss* bc it's really not. As tragic as Stars character is it's not an excuse for him to hurt the people around him. I mean no matter how bad I can feel for Prime Screamer he still used and manipulated everyone around him(Knockout for one). This is in no way me trying to justify or make him a good guy, a character can be tragic while still being a bad person. Somebody get him in therapy lol.

Oh man and don't get me started on the Unicron Trilogy Starscream. Probably the most tragic of them all, poor guy did not deserve any of Megatrons abuse. Allow me to let him speak for himself "I tried to gain favor from you, but nothing was ever good enough. No matter how many battles I fought, you always found fault." He really just wanted recognition, he literally sacrificed himself just so Megatron could get it through his thick head he needed to team up with the Autobots, and I recently had someone point out to me Starscream probably could have done some damage to Unicron with Swindle but he knew he was gonna die and he didn't wanna drag his mini-con down with him. Just ow.

Animated Screamer was just wild idek what he was on I can't defend him lmao bro opens the show trying and almost succeeded in killing Megan. I'd comment on Cyberverse if I could but I haven't actually got to watching that yet whoops. I feel like I remember seeing a clip of him talking about wanting the respect he deserved which honestly could have been his ego talking or really sad idk, but back to what I was originally saying.

Almost every time he shows up and you pay him any attention besides comic relief he's a super tragic character and it's not only what makes him one of my favorite but it makes me sad when I see people completely disregard everything but whats on the barest of surface levels. I feel like that's all Micheal Bay did he remembered Star being comic relief and so thats all he was. He's like an onion for lack of a better analogy, got a million layers, might make u cry, and you either love him or hate him. He could be such a compelling interesting character like with IDW but no one wants to look below the surface AND I GET IT 9/10 were literal children's shows so they're forgiven but Micheal Bay is on my hit list for that one.

edit: bro if this makes absolutely zero sense I literally wrote and posted this at 3am and then just scheduled it at a normal time for reasons I'm not actually 100% on so sorry💀
