Monthly likes/dislikes
❣️ Our Skyy 2 - Absolutely loving it so far!!! It’s exactly the kind of lighthearted chaos I was hoping for and especially the NLMG episodes were so much fun to watch. Once again proves that PP just work in a comedy setting. ngl these 2 episodes were better than the entirety of the 12 episodes of the main show for me lmao 🤷🏼♀️ The SIMM episodes were a bit strange plot-wise lmao but JD’s chemistry saved the day for sure. Very excited for what’s to come!!
👎🏻 A Shoulder To Cry On - I was very disappointed by this one. It was my first time dipping my toes back into the kbl world after TMS and I was hopeful as I read good reviews but my god it was so bad. it had a solid start but then the plot started reaching and it got weirder with every episode. and not to mention the lack of intimacy like I get they probably didn’t do it because of kpop or whatever but why even cast them to begin with then??? I have zero understanding for things like that. This was a bromance and I hated it lmao. bye.

get the feeling that the first few episodes of the season were chock full of kacy to make up for both sad, angsty kacy last season and to give us something to hold onto in light of this expected multi-episode lucy absence
and if we're assuming the crossover (2x10) or the episode right after it to be the one when she'll be back, (she seems to be listed for ncis: la, but not the ncis: hawai`i episode), then we’re in for a month and a half long kacy hiatus, about 3 episodes or so (lucy could still vid-call or text and stuff, but there will still be a lack of her and it won't be the same 😭)
we know that both lucy and whistler are prone to spiraling/overthinking, and while yes, this is going to be a taxing 4-month long separation it would be hard for any couple to face, it rings a little hollow when they just moved in together and re-emphasized their commitment to each other and desire to be together all the time and as a viewer it’ll be hard for me to reconcile 3-4 episodes in reality being 4 months of time in the show
and it sucks that they seem to be leaning towards lucy conquering her fear of water off-screen. it’s disappointing because i don't want to see this type of tell, don’t show story-telling for a seemingly big part of lucy’s character, id prefer she do it with her team/family supporting her or having it be a big character moment on-screen (though, her going on the water for both jesse and whistler kind of was like that, it wasn't the highlight of those episodes or those scenes really, in Pirates, it starts off as an emotional thing that later turns into comic relief when they meet with Pike and we see her enormous life-vest). of course, there’s still a possibility that she comes back from this still deathly afraid of the water and having had a miserable time, but i don’t know if they’d introduce this storyline only for her to come back like ‘ugh it was awful i should have just stayed’ and brush over her time on the boat
there’s also a possibility��this 4-month absence leads to the introduction of a lucy feeling anxious and worried about whether kate was messing around while she was away storyline, which obviously that type of storyline isn’t inherently bad, frankly im more surprised that hasn’t been brought up at all and they’ve been in a honeymoon phase, but like lucy said she has trust issues (and they laughed it off even though uhhh whistler you’re half the reason for that)
and to top it all off, she’s going to be aboard the Ronald Reagan, quite literally homophobia personified LMAO
