#in 6 weeks instead of 8 so you'd have until mid march'

[tardis--dreams]

I talked to my professor yesterday and I have some thoughts but it's too exhausting to rant rn. But there will be. Ranting.

#nice guy #in general #but bro my friend my dude #i know it's MY fault i didn't get my shit together earlier. could have done that 2 years ago. my bad. BUT #in this particular situation HE is at least 50% to blame for this mess #because i asked him SIX months ago if he could supervise me and told him i had a lot of time pressure #and he insisted i take his stupid seminar #i told him essentially Every week i had time pressure and would like to finish my thesis asap #but i couldn't start working until i had the presentation and that was too late and then fell together with everything else #so now I'm here having EXISTENTIAL DREAD and YES I'M BLAMING YOU MY FRIEND! Like. at least 50% #agreed. it is my fault i didn't do it WAYYYY earlier #but it's not like i didn't tell him for the past 6 months what my deadline was #anyway #i talked about me getting unenrolled from my masters program and i mentioned that'd I'd have to drop out of university #if i couldn't do next semester and i think that made him take me seriously lol #because he went 'ok. i don't think this'll work out in February so let's see if i find a second examiner who'd be willing to do ot #in 6 weeks instead of 8 so you'd have until mid march' #so nice enough #but he said twice something along the lines 'you're putting us in a difficult situation' #BITCH *YOU* PUT *ME* IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION #I'm not putting you anywhere #i didn't even ask for him to do it faster #i really just explained the stakes here. it's not like i force him to correct my shit with 2 weeks less time #and both times he said it i had to literally hold myself back from saying something like 'yeah I mean it's not like i told you MONTHS ago #and i would have loved to do it last semester break but you forced me to take your seminar so idk what you want from me bro' #again. TOTALLY my fault for letting it get this far in the first place but absolutely at least half his fault for it to get this far #in that particular situation #again. it's nice enough he considered doing it in 6 weeks and asking his colleague to be the second examiner #(my boss. from the German department. i cry lmao) #(now i ended up ranting anyway. and hit tag limit. whoops.)

forecast recap.

(Speaking of which. OST vol.3 is due, right?! It's mid-October, 2-month interval is up!!)

Sept extras call: resistance is just a fancy word for refugees, luckily that belongs to Kyoryu's earth instead of ours. But my au isn't that bad ;) Basically my earliest guess was that either something happened to the Kings that they lost their thrones (or a group of people started rebelling against Dugded on their own <- less likely because you'll've to introduce a new leader character), and THEY have to start a resistance now because (a) puppet king(s) is in their place. The only thing we knew then was, Chapter 2 is happening. In the following month, the kings' defeat after defeat is not helping my overthinking! I should've just taken the costume clues on the surface and came to the direct conclusion that it's happening not on Chikyuu but Our Earth. Man I would've love to see my Dark AU some unofficial way ;)

Now that I caught up to Kyoryu ep36, and more obviously, Kingoh 33, I can make the connection for the Oct extras call. They are going to recreate/homage the scene where the crowd sing and clap to give the rangers power. The TV preview text says the Kyoryugers are going to return, so the brightest side is Daigo and Utcchy are going to show up in mid/late November when their search for Dugded brings them to Chikyuu. I don't think there's gonna be a Kyoryu 10th. They had to shoot Amy's scenes separately and Shiono outright said it may be the last time he plays Souji. Practically it's a bit late for the marketing to start if it's really happening, let alone the 20ths are having it in the coming year.

P.S. EP3 goes on sale 6 Dec, and usually an EP contains at least 2 new songs. So is the other "I'm Still Alive" for the Yanma focus ep? Please *pleading eyes*. December also sounds suspiciously late (coincidence with Blu-ray v.2 release?). EP1 was two weeks and EP2 a month after the first song. "Pride and Brave" will likely be reused for the Kyoryu-Ohger and if Crossover 2.0. I'm not very patient waiting for the eventual release of the full version of that dance... worst case maybe we'll have to wait until Blu-ray vol.3's release next March...

hunch:

[Katou D] 22/10 ep34 Gabutyra

[Katou D] 29/10 ep35 Kagu + Suzume backstory (Minnogan round? Revived bug to sell toy?)

[? (skm)] 5/11 ep36 Rita

[? (skm)] 12/11 ep37 Yanm, Robo

[? (ymg?)]  19,26/11 ep38/39 Racules? build-up to 40?

math:

yzy tweet 27/9 (28/9: kingchan) -> est. 5/11 ?!

Uch 182: interview: 11-15/9 (post 28 air), publish date 2/10

Uch info: Kagu past, Yanma/N'kosopa past, Sebas' real name, Sakamoto 2nd round

Extras shooting: 8-9/10, Studio (crowd singing but on chikyuu?!) -> on air est. 12/11 (ep37)

(32/33: shooting 1,2,6/9 -> on air 8,15/10)

contradictions:

YZY math gives us 36 + crowd cheers scene gives 37. Both "Action" and "Homage" sound SKM style but it sounds a bit soon for Sakamoto to return if he's just a guest director. The rate is possible and maybe 34,35 will rush the plot, but it sounds too much of a leap even for me.

I was hoping for Yamaguchi to return with Racles but it seems he got excahanged to Rider with Nakazawa coming our side. :p Well it's just next door, he could always come back to shoot the Husty brothers. (wait that sounds wrong)

Another possibility, it could be KHU calling the extras, seems like you'd need the head D to call that size of a crowd. Hmmm. I'm not giving up my Racles cult theory yet.

Uchusenn interview happened mid-September, the cast should only had received the script til ep35, but it's plausible to bump that number up by two since that Takamina got timeoff for 32,33.

YZY could be training early, and even though she said there's going to be another SKM round, what she trained for is written into the script by Takamina, so it's not a 1-to-1 confirmation that the SKM round is her FOCUS ep. It could've been the entire cast is all required to do untransformed action and she just happen to be the one that posted about it.

but oh god... if Takamina wrote Rita broken mask action...

Director list:

1-5 Kamihoriuchi

6-8 Yamaguchi

9-11 Katou

12 Kamihoriuchi

13-14 Chatani

15-16 Yamaguchi

17-19 Katou

20-21 Yamaguchi

22-23 Chatani

24-26 Katou

27-29 Kamihoriuchi (ko29,30 = Gotchard 3,4 Yamaguchi)

30-31 Nakazawa

32-33 Sakamoto

34-35 Katou
