Jolie's thoughts on
The Creeping Man (Sherlock & Co. podcast)
I hope people in this universe will never get the idea that Watson is the great storyteller. That’s clearly Sherlock - his deduction about the death of Ratthew was easily as engaging as his account of Matheus's death back in "Thor Bridge".
"Get down here and atone for your sins, you feline bastard!" 🤣 I just love how strongly Sherlock felt about Ratthew‘s death. And then how strong a bond he ended up forming with the perpetrator.
And the meta jokes in this podcast! Mariana pleading for donations bc Sherlock & John weren’t getting paid for this case but were still renting high end cars and attending expensive events… John ruining a brilliant opportunity for an ad break at the Thai restaurant… I can’t believe how brilliant a parody of true crime shows this continues to be, as well as a fantastic audio drama, *and* a very very sweet account of one of the most beautiful friendships in the history of literature.
More stuff I liked in this episode:
Sherlock & John playing Scrabble. Joel Emory is the King of Banter.
We got a "come at once"! 🥳
"It’s 2024, no-one needs to be saying 'thus'". 😆
Have we actually just assumed until now that John is short in this universe, too? At any rate we just heard it confirmed by Bill Wiggins and I’m HERE for it.
The uncool non-noir stakeout 🤣
"And are those skeletal entities in the room with us now?" 🤣
"My dear companion" *happy sigh*
John ending up in Chekhov‘s pool just before the 2nd part credits. On the cliffhanger scale of 1-10, definitely an 11.
"There we go, John." - I love how Sherlock reserves the use of Watson's first name for special occasions. And how caring he can be. He also literally just fished John out of the pool!? So they’re both sopping wet in this scene?!
Loved John's little speech about people’s lives getting commercialised. And the ping at the end.
"I hate you both." - Mariana is such a vibe sometimes.
"Say no more." - "So long, sucker." - "Oh no, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" - John Watson , anti-hero extraordinaire, strikes again, pun intended. How can you not love him.
"I have a dog and a detective to look after." - My heart.
On a serious note for a moment, I thought it was interesting how well this ACD story translates to our modern day and age, with the quest for eternal youth going stronger than ever, and people still willing to pay enormous sums of money for scams like that, and even ready to ruin their physical and mental health for it. I love how this show keeps finding ways to make the themes of ACD‘s stories relevant to today’s world.
In the crime solving sense, I dare say it was completely clear what the mystery was about halfway through the 2nd part, even for those who didn’t know the original story… but the showdown was definitely worth waiting for. Glorious.

Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’
This is for season 1, episode 24: One Shall Rise Part 1
Please reblog or comment on this with your thoughts! I really want to know what your opinion of the episode was!
I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.
ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.
These notes may not be the best as One Shall Rise is a 3 (kinda 4) parter and more than 2 part episodes stress me out.
~~~~Transition~~~~
~recap~
01:01 honestly a good start to an episode of this nature. Like despite having just fought Megatron and being held down, if something so shocking and questionable (as in a very powerful being, from your religion,’s blood is erupting from a planet that had nothing to do with yours, linking your planet and theirs) were to happen, I sincerely doubt anyone would be able to stay in the moment and not get lost in your own thought.
01:07 - Megatron learnt nothing from Optimus? Stab first, then say one-liner. You will find this is true across many media, because as soon as the one-liner is delivered, the opponent is now fully aware of the intention of the one delivering the line. They have enough time to prepare to defend/protect themselves. If they one-liner is delivered after, the opponent will be processing what happened to them. One-liners accompany surprise attacks.
01:12 - See?. Shouldn’t have said the one-liner.
01:16 - Bulkhead’s doing a great job
01:33 - I understand why they chose for Arcee to help Ratchet, but I’m still allowed to question it. Like yeah, Bee’s staying back to accompany Raf (and so he doesn’t try to kill Megatron himself), but it would’ve probably have been quicker and easier if it was Bee who helped Optimus back through, rather than Arcee. Although, I still understand the decision.
01:38 - despite getting punch, Bulkhead’s still holding up very well.
01:42 - what’s actually going on with that position?
Tumblr media
01:44 - Megatron pursuing Bulkhead by foot is such a stupid move.
01:53 - Let’s pretend that the ground bridge didn’t close, Megatron can’t cut through it and Bulkhead had already disappeared. What was the plan? He just strike the air and freak ‘em out a bit?
01:57 - gotta appreciate the continuity of Megatron’s face still have the tire marks.
02:13 - I was expecting him to start jumping up and down
~intro~
02:59 - the bridge was already open and then closed.
03:00 - Were they just chilling in the space that makes up the ground bridge tunnel, waiting for it to open again, for so long that Bulkhead and Arcee managed to swap?
03:02 - Ratchet and Bulkhead are so short compared to Optimus that he has to really bend his legs to receive their support.
03:08 - Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. I’ll be more considerate though, because Ratchet was essentially saying that it was too much, as opposed to just one beam of dark energon.
03:12 - I’m gonna actually bite someone. I hate this so much.
03:15 - The way Bulkhead pushed him down and the way Optimus sat *mwah*
03:20 - pure bean
Tumblr media
03:23 - I get that she’s being protective and all because Raf got hurt, but must she be so cruel to the injured pure bean? He wasn’t involved with Raf getting hurt, he did the responsible thing and sent him to the medic, wasn’t involved with any of the decisions in the profession he’s not familiar with + he’s not Raf’s guardian. Now, I’m not one to throw Bumblebee under the bus… but if June were to get angry at anyone, she should get angry at Bee. Bee’s Raf’s guardian and Raf was in his care when it happened.
03:25 - I’m gonna kill her.
Tumblr media
03:33 - h-what
03:41 - Why does no one talk about this shot?
Tumblr media
03:54 - ~Dark~ energon.
04:00 - I don’t think that’s even remotely close to the boogeyman..
04:01 - There’s something so innocent about the bots not understanding human references.
04:03 - how does that lineup with anything that the humans know about Unicron?
04:26 - NO! What did he say??
04:28 - he’s so cute I can’t-
Tumblr media
04:34 - Oh.. oh dear.. Oh Ratchet noooo
04:37 - From everything, doubt they’d even care, or believe you.
04:40 - that too.
04:43 - the way he said June- (J o o n)
04:45 - but he didn’t fail anything! She’s just the ass that directed her anger at the wrong bot.
05:06 - it’s weird hearing her say that considering the statement is so relevant for American students now, so much so that it’s pitiful.
05:33 - NOT JUNE SAYING THAT CHILDREN DON’T HAVE THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE ON EARTH.
05:42 - Not a huge Miko fan… but I get it.
05:45 - I don’t recommend doing what Miko did, but I will say that keep that sort of stuff in mind when you need to discuss a decision with someone like a teacher. They aren’t your parent, they cannot make you do something you don’t want to if you believe you’d benefit more by not doing it. They may have a certain level of power over you, but they get a power check anytime you stand your ground on a decision.
06:01 - this is a parallel to.. the first episode? Where Jack was the one insisting that they leave.
06:08 - on the other end of the stick is that as you get older your relationship to someone should become less of a factor into a personal decision/opinion. Just because their your parent, doesn’t mean they always know what’s best for you.
06:14 - Good on June for not pushing it. She accepted that answer.
06:19 - AAAAA NOOOO
06:26 - Bro chose her pride over convenience.
06:32 - THEY DIDN’T SAY GOODBYE
06:42 - Noooooooooooo
06:43 - not the door wings ;0;
06:44 - it makes it sadder that he was standing alone as he watched the only human that could understand him leave.
06:55 - slight error as Arcee went from behind Bee, to standing at his side, but that will be ignored to laugh at the heights differences.
Tumblr media
07:13 - oh man, that reporter, I wonder who voiced him.
07:25 - everyone static for so long is glorious
Tumblr media
08:07 - she’s pretty good at dodging the lightening
08:13 - then crashes.
08:52 - this scene takes a long time, but it works well to emphasise that they were in a lot of danger.
09:05 - And enjoyable detail is that Bee opens his doors for a second before transforming.
09:24 - situations like these are reasons why it makes sense that Bee is yellow. It’s a vibrant colour, so it’s an emergency colour.
09:44 - Let’s be honest here, Bee should’ve brought someone with him. Bulkhead, maybe?
10:04 - the only other human to have sat in Bee’s driver’s seat is Jack.
10:09 - running a stop sign, damn.
Tumblr media
10:33 - bleeeeh
10:46 - if everyone else wasn’t doing anything why was Bee alone?? No one thought that maybe a rescue mission shouldn’t be just one rescuer??
10:56 - Optimus looking to Ratchet, then smiling (more?) is such a cute detail
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
10:59 - Bee’s heavy landing after transforming.
11:25 - imagine trying to say that and not sound like someone a bit too into astrology
11:52 - just to be clear, Agent Fowler’s correct.
11:55 - hehe
12:02 - following Ratchet saying ‘by the AllSpark’ Bee reacts by looking at him then giving him a surprised look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12:14 - Don’t understand the point of the focus on Arcee walking in.
12:27 - the way Optimus’s optics shook once he realised.
12:32 - Honestly, I agree with Megatron- it really hurts to listen to.
12:52 - the music tho-
12:57 - This is how I wake up every morning.
13:14 - The writers better have a document explaining how volcanoes produced lava if the Earth didn’t have Magma.
13:19 - husbands theorising
13:28 - Melatonin, blankets and make the room a bit cooler.
13:44 - ooh~ Expedition.
14:35 - hoooo
14:40 - The Elmer Fudd approach I see.
14:50 - AHHH THE WAY HIS FACE MOVES, THE EXPRESSIONS, THE E V E R Y T H I N G
15:03 - Arcee enthusiastically joining the brainstorm session. + don’t look at me with those big ol’ eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
15:08 - he announces ‘I awaken’
15:10 - Miko’s expressive story telling. H O- Bulkhead’s expressions.
Tumblr media
15:14 - Solemn as it is, I cannot get past the fact that the two shortest of the autobots haven’t thought to move.
Tumblr media
15:19 - the double blink to look up hurts considering this is a very effective method to prevent tears.
15:33 - who’s gonna tell him?
15:57 - where did Soundwave come from??
16:20 - Bro really trying to impress his dad.
16:25 - change ‘Unicron’ to God or Jesus and you have the why the priest blesses the Eucharist during mass (delivery included).
17:00 - Fatherless behaviour. I swear every villian recites that speech when they finally meet their more evil father.
17:08 - GOTTEM
17:19 - Your time of the month maybe.
17:25 - NOT THE FORCE OF DESTRUCTION CALLING MEGATRON A WORM.
17:45 - Megatron really trying to force a friendship.
17:54 - and here we have the liar.
18:04 - The liar has been called out.
18:13 - Unicron really went back to bed.
18:26 - Optimus scouting gives off big ‘undercover boss’ energy.
18:56 - I laughed so hard at this that my shoulder hurts
19:09 - oh… no one told him shoulder pads are out of style..
19:19 - Get in line. (I have taken it upon myself to draw up what I imagine the ‘Who wants to destroy Optimus Prime’ sign up sheet would look like:
Tumblr media
(WHO WANTS TO DESTROY OP:
1. MEGATRON
2. StArsreAm
3. SKYQUAKE (Quake dies ;^;)
3 4. Ratchet❤️ Joking! K.O.❤️
4 5. Ratchet (the real one) (I miss understood) AYO-
4 5 6. Optimus Prime (Bumblebee saw. I cannot do that to him.)
4 5 6 7. MECH
5 6 7 8. Primus :)
6 7 8 9. St3V3
7 8 9 10. Unicron)
19:43 - didn’t realise until now, but this parallels Sick Mind. An Autobot speaking to an enemy in the enemy’s domain- Curiosity is what compels the enemy to listen.
19:49 - doubling parallel, speaking to increase the safety of others.
20:03 - a species?? Prime needs to be introduced to a dog or something. HAH- introduce him to a Bumblebee.
20:15 - Antisocial people:
20:23 - Dude has magician powers.
20:34 - well it took 13 Primes to put him in a coma. Can’t fault Optimus for being weak.
20:38 - They never learn. Phrase AFTER destruction.
20:43 - Translation: not yet, Dame Fragger.
21:20 - top ten lamest Villian one liners.
-To be Continued-
———————
That was One Shall Rise part 1
THAT WAS ONLY ONE FRAGGIN EPISODE?!
It took me weeks to finish!
For all that it is- it's a very good episode.
Still frustrated about last episode and am very much annoyed by June's behaviour. I love Bee with all my heart, but he was the one in charge of Raf at the time-

Hi everyone, I’m completely insane. I was rewatching The Clothes Don’t Make The Turtle to make a future chapter of Only Brooches more accurate (I’ve gotten a lot incorrect about The Magic Townhouse, unfortunately). This is my master list of details for TCDMTT - thought y’all would like it too.
The Magic Townhouse hosts an annual ‘Night of A Million Secrets’ - hence the masks and fancy attire. This is the year they happened to get Houdini’s journals.
So they weren’t always under TMTH - this is a new addition 
Leo would bring up that they have Houdini’s journals this year. Ron would know as every magician that works there is aware of it.
Back of ticket: “Exclusive private clubhouse for members of The Magic Townhouse. All members and guests are required to dress in evening or business attire that is conservative, formal & elegant. - The following are ALL prohibited: Casual wear or athletic attire, denim, work boots, sandals, flip-flops, shorts, rompers &” it cuts off there ):
In my AU: Ron gets his top hat from Madie (Madam?) Hats, a magician who works exclusively with animals and animal magic 
Hypno replaced so many fucking posters with his own face and visage in this - it’s hilarious 
He also depicts himself with five fingers, which is odd considering he only has four
There are several secret doors and panels - which imply multiple routes in and around the townhouse (keep in mind for Potluck - Warren doesn’t have to get trapped in a broom closet. He could get stuck behind a magic bookshelf) 
Leo is very informed on magic - is aware that Houdini is the ‘greatest illusionist in history’ and that Hypno can ‘alter the very fabric of reality’ or ‘something even cooler’
He also knows all of the secrets of the townhouse and can name the busts of each magician - knows about every secret passage (just not how to activate them)
All of the turtles have a passion for fashion - only Leo seems to be kinda chill with Hypno 
Despite all of them enjoying fashion, the turtles are typically naked
For the AU: Donnie should be the one that gives Ron advice on the magic boom box - I feel like they’d have a good time collaborating on this 
There’s a Mezmer Ron poster on the wall (:
Tumblr media
In fact, it calls him ‘The Magnificent Mezmer Ron’
Magicians as pointed out by Leo: John The Kaiser (inventor of the pinky shuffle) - Leo is also a massive fan of his - John is not a fan of Hypno (calls him an amateur despite Hypno being established, called him a thug. This is starting to feel kinda racist /hj) - guess this bitch is also at the Potluck 
Why the fuck does every magician have an accent? 
There’s a secret vault 
It has a secret password that Leo refuses to hear
Hypno’s just stuffing those journals into his arms like a pro 
“I was so close! How did you get out of my ingenious fashion trap?” “Did you learn the power of self love in order to break free?” (He smiles when he says it)
He also smiles in a really cute way as he waves goodbye after bending reality 
“What is it with magicians and their hatred of normal doors?!” - Raph (I don’t think he’ll ever come around to like Hypno)
“Pastor-rayna” - spell that shoots cards, also traps the victim in a card
“Asotherio!” - Spell that makes paintings come to life and beat up a teenager /hj
“Deli-anais” - allows the user to escape into different containers of varying sizes and shapes 
Hypno doesn’t say a spell with Leo, is literally performing a trick for him where he saws himself in half. It’s really sweet until the other turtles show up 
Venus DeMagic - the queen of quick change - according to Leo
Love how it’s easy to tell which posters Hypno added after the fact since they’re his human form with his villain name
Hypno woke up the second those shadow hands grabbed him - he wouldn’t have screamed otherwise

after all of that my ass just skipped 1 - 5 on rewatch lmao
i think i’m gonna start recording notes on here the way i did the last time i watched GFA, so i can get some of my kneejerk reactions out and tag them so they’re not lost to me forever somewhere in a google doc called ‘untitled document’
and cuz a lot of my 1 liner posts are just reactions i’ve had/things i’ve thought about while watching an episode, so this should help reduce bloat

Notes on The Mandalorian Chapter 11: The Heiress
we are just zooming through these episodes! another one done already!
Everyone’s asleep as they come up on Trask
Din doesn’t bother to call flight control before starting his incredibly risky landing???
The Razor Crest is on fire! How’s everything in the hold doing?
Condensation dripping from the windshield
What lever is that, that Din gave the frog lady?
Love this dockworker. Private ship actively crashing? Stand right by the landing point and stare disapprovingly
The poor Crest is actively losing pieces
It’s an engine explosion that sends them into the water
Seaweed EVERYWHERE
Ms Frog Lady standing here like a tourist
Grogu’s pram survived? Where is it stored that it looks so good, after what the Crest has been through?
If Trask is the only planet that can support the frog species, you’d think there’d be more of them around
Grogu’s hungry AGAIN
Eyo it’s Koska!
Why does the soup dispense from a tube in the ceiling
When Din goes to sit down Grogu is already at the table??
Was that a lot of flan? It was only 3 coins
Grogu says “patu” again - I didn’t realize it was recurring
That server is totally getting paid to direct Din to those guys
Live creature in the soup? Don’t play with your food!
The thing that almost eats them is a “mamacore”
Grogu closes his pram himself
Din used his jetpack underwater
Bo-katan calls Din “brother”
Koska + Bo-katan’s helmets are designed differently from the dude’s
The pram is crushed like a can - those seals are monstrous
Uuuugh I hate this scene
Insert my rant about how Bo-katan is an unreliable narrator
They blow up the ship before they leave
Din’s accepting them as Mandalorians already? That was fast
Imperial Gozanti freighter
They’re chilling on top of the Razor Crest
Grogu’s gonna miss all the action and Emotions...
“Mind your manners - you know what I’m talking about” Din you did not even once successfully get Grogu to stop eating eggs
This freighter’s been greebled
I hate the boob armor so much
Oooo they’re gonna get in troooubllle
JFC fanatical much
“Are you sure you won’t join us?” you haven’t even asked before this and you’ve been being an asshole
Only one baby frog in the bowl?
It sure hatched and grew fast
Din paid a thousand credits for this...
The poor Razor Crest still barely flies
Din: catches a dangerous creature in midair
Grogu: giggles

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Jolie's thoughts on
The problem of Thor Bridge (Sherlock & Co. podcast)
(Hear me gush about the show in general.)
So this is one of my favourite original ACD cases, in spite of the somewhat anticlimactic solution. And I wasn’t disappointed by this version. I love it when Holmes does his dramatic recreations of the crimes. You can imagine how I squeaked with delight at how Sherlock hijacked the police press conference in this episode!
The "time is against us" aspect of the original that adds extra pressure and suspense was rendered perfectly in the morgue scene. "On behalf of the Federal Republic of Brazil, I'd like to see the body." YES!
Sherlock really gets extra points for cool lines in this one. "Watson, I was hoping that when I said 'The game is on'…"
Sherlock speaking Cornish, Portuguese and every other language under the sun is lovely, too.
"Would you like to hold hands and talk about your emotions?" 🥺
"I like you as you are, Watson." 🥺🥺
MARIANA: Where are your shoes?
JOHN: Where are my shoes?
SHERLOCK: What time is it? Seven thirty. Probably in the North Sea.
MARIANA: Oh. OK.
The sheer unflappability of this woman. She’s brilliant.
More, please!

THAAAAAT’S RIIIIGHT! It’s everyone’s favourite time! Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!
This is for season 1, episode 9: Convoy.
I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.
Also, I’ll warn, I don’t have a lot to say. (Not compared to other episodes)
~~~~Transition~~~~
00:03 - beautiful scenery- for fucks sake, Fowler.
00:05 - ✨walk cycles✨ I Will never not love the way the bots walk and I will never stop reminding you.
00:12 - hehe, height difference.
Tumblr media
00:16 - good. (I don’t like Fowler, he’s unnecessarily rude.)
00:21 - hehe Dingus.
00:49 - Raf’s got his priorities straight.
00:52 - Miko’s reaction
01:14 - you already know that a bunch of children had to ask their parents what Propagate means.
01:28 - Optimus knows Fowler would be a reckless driver. But I can also imagine that it’s just generally very uncomfortable and unnecessary stressful for the boys whenever someone else is driving. If not, then I’m making it a hc.
~intro~
02:53 - WOOOOW FOWLER. JUST WOW.
03:07 - Optimus uses that T.H.I.N.K acronym and I will not hear otherwise.
03:18 - if the yellow dot is where the D.N.G.S is, why is it placed between two orange dots? Bee hadn’t moved in front of Optimus yet.
03:22 - I mean.. the truck’s obviously being escorted by two other cars. Why would they assume that all three are unarmed?
03:42 - that’s rich.
03:48 - damn right, Optimus! Shut him dooown! Also Bee, Get back in the lane.
03:55 - translation, ‘a worse evil’
04:15 - Bulkhead said that, but Stan decided Ratchet did.
Tumblr media
04:29 - From what we know, most of the cons are greys, black and purples. These are green. The decepticons have a colour scheme going, why would there all of a sudden be a bunch of green cons??
04:54 - that was what Bee did in the first episode.
05:09 - why.. why was his window open?
06:33 - someone that knows transformers lore, could you tell me.. would Optimus be able to feel that?? At the end of the day, that’s still apart of his body.
07:04 - that made me laugh, ngl.
08:23 - Bee really ain’t doing anything, huh? Like they’re breaking in from behind and Bulkhead can’t do anything.
08:41 - oh yeah, forgot about Arcee.
09:03 - makes the whole thing a lot more twisted.
10:44 - FOWLER. WHEN WOULD THE BOTS HAVE GOTTEN AIR SUPPORT?!
10:51 - that’s what it’s like rocking up at school wearing your uniform.
12:23 - Transformers Running well never not be funny.
12:26 - they look like frogs on two feet.
12:37 - specifically watching Bee fight is so entertaining (not just because he’s a favourite, also because he’s really bouncy during his fight scenes.)
12:42 - Optimus moving as though the punch was a minor inconvenience.
12:43 - then he just destroys the con.
13:25 - the big eyes and the cute wave, I caaaan’t!!
14:01 - “I understand-” d o n k
14:12 - Isn’t Fowler able to.. see the fight? Wouldn’t he have seen Optimus get dinked off the cliff.
14:16 - he was taken down by some wood. If you know, you know.
14:25 - Arcee and Bee jumping is the strangest visuals ever.
14:27 - that’s just a group hug in a buttshell.
14:34 - I would love to hear the bloopers for this. How did the VAs manage to say ‘DNGS’ without dying of laughter.
14:37 - you’re telling me that they didn’t have a backup plan??
14:53 - It’s strange hearing ‘suicide’ in a show that probably has a large child audience.
15:00 - How Ratchet pronounced ‘yours’ sounds so out of character that it made me cry. He cares so much he forgot to be an old man.
15:01 - When you watch this scene, watch how Ratchet moves. Like it’s so appealing the way he doesn’t stop moving.
15:54 - did they seriously only have one person in the cart with the D.N.G.S? Seems very flawed.
16:58 - to be fair… yes. He’s right.
17:14 - I’m so confused as to why they went on the train in the first place. Yes it was a bad idea- OF COURSE IT WAS A BAD IDEA AND IT DID NOTHING!
17:15 - BIG TALK, MIKO! Raf was working remotely and managed to give them more time. (I don’t understand how, though, because it seems that they went a different route)
17:32 - quick shoutout to character design. Look at the detail on Optimus’s helm here.
Tumblr media
17:55 - I’m pretty sure that the using a fire extinguisher the normal way is going to prove more useful than whatever Jack is planning on doing.
19:38 - Excuse me, but… what?. Just… what??? Also does anyone else see any parallel between Miko and Jack and Optimus and Arcee? Where Miko’s trying to think of different ideas of how to get out while Jack’s like ‘we may die, but I’m just gonna accept that’. And in Scrap heap Arcee was trying to think of different ways to stay alive and Optimus is just like ‘if I stay here and relax there will be an outcome. The outcome may be death, but I’m alright with that.’
20:09 - Optiman, Optiman, does whatever an Optimus can. Can he swing from a web? No he can’t, but he can stop a fraggin train. Look oooooout, Optimus aboooout.
20:28 - I may have laughed loudly when I noticed the unconscious guy.
20:49 - Silas really went ‘GG but-’
20:53 - no. What. The. Actual. Fuck?. When and where did he get that??
—————
So that was Convoy. Because the episode was more focused around the humans than the bots I always found the episode kind of boring.
But considering the episode is mainly about introducing MECH, it’s one that I would watch in a binge, but not one that stands out.
Although being a human focused episode, I thought that they came off either annoying, dumb and/or punchable (with the exception of Raf, he did a good job), particularly Agent Fowler. I hate him in this.
Also, could someone tell me if I should put screenshots before or after their related timestamp. Thanks!

STRAY THOUGHTS: These three episodes comprise our first recording session. This ended up not being "The First Episode", but worked as a way for me to rev up the editing engine, and alongside the other stuff at the bottom, serves as an advertisement for the kind of bonus content you can get on our Patreon. Episode 2 has a full half hour or so that was cut, gonna edit that in the next week or two. Patreon links coming at some point you aren't real yet

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see
