so just as any besties do, @teddybearbutchh and i were talking about the whole 'shax wears a cobra belt' thing, and we might have just dreamt up The Most heartstopping thing to date... but couple of key notes first:

i know people have remarked that shax most obviously wears the belt in the modern scenes, indicating some kind of power play that she pinched it from crowley's flat. issue is - im fairly sure that she wears it in 1941 (you can see a glimpse of it at the end when she's present in the audience between furfur and dagon), which would suggest it leans more towards herons-eat-snakes symbolic explanation. taking one step further, im regarding this as some kind of foreshadowing that there will be some kind of direct conflict between her and crowley

shax is either a social climber, or has incredible amounts of career ambition - probably a bit of both, but im leaning towards the latter. im still also of the mind that the reason she has the ear of the council is because she's an informant (and a good one at that) and her MO is to recruit others to do the dirty work for her... so when she tells furfur that she'll pay him back if he ever gives her information that she can use, it stands to reason that she'd be pretty miffed re: furfur seemingly going maverick to catch aziraphale and crowley in the act. i feel like her smirk at the end of the ep, plus how cold furfur is towards her in ep5, would support this somewhat

^but shax is still armed with the knowledge that there's something between aziraphale and crowley (furfur might not have hard proof anymore but he obviously wasn't lying, not when you consider his confidence from shax's perspective), and to catch them would be tantamount to a promotion

chekhov's gun #1: the derringer

chekhov's gun #2: zombies still roaming around london, with one of them presumably still having access to the bookshop if aziraphale invited her in when she posed as an MI operative

chekhov's gun #3: constant mentions in both 1941 flashbacks of 'the paperwork'

shax makes a point in the bentley to separate out the statement that there were rumours that aziraphale and crowley were "an item", which arguably is a good hop, skip and a jump away from "consorting and collaborating" as furfur termed it

a bit about the holy water: crowley first asks for it in 1862, after an indeterminate number of times/length of time in hell, probably under some kind of torture. he and aziraphale then presumably don't speak until 1941, but he remarks again how easy it would be to get holy water from the church, "it doesn't even have guards!". then it's in 1967 that he plans the heist to rob a church. now believe me, i love the explanation that crowley was simply inspired by good, ol' 007 to make getting the water as dramatic as possible, but. if he was that desperate for it, why not just... tempt someone, or even just ask someone for a bottle of it? from a church? i can't imagine that he'd purposefully wait 26 years for something that he felt was literally life-or-death (so to speak), and then only be reminded of it when JB came out? so, what was keeping him for a quarter of a century?

herein lies the batshit part 3 spec of 1941. shax takes advantage of the situation, to get ahead on the greasy pole; goes up to earth, finds the zombies, recruits them one last time to get into the bookshop - possibly to get ahold of the photograph and take the credit for furfur's scheme. 'lo and behold, aziraphale and crowley are low-key about to jump each other (waving the tired and battered 1941 truther flag), which is just plain excellent for shax - and would fuel the 'rumours' that they were an 'item'. but zombies give themselves away before anything juicy really happens (boo), and some kind of fight ensues.

derringer gets pulled out of the mystery book (bonus points if it's a bible, or something like sense and sensibility), crowley gets shot, probably trying to protect aziraphale, gets discorporated. he's summarily trapped in hell, sorting through the fucking paperwork, until sometime in the 1960s. reinvigorates his scheme to get his hands on holy water, aziraphale hears about it, and gives it to him (now having been confronted with The Direct Consequences hell will have for crowley if anything like this ever happens again), and wards him off from getting too close to aziraphale, because of the danger it poses. "you go too fast for me".

SPOILERS FOR MAGP 5

LIVE REACTION TO EP5

Hearing Jonny say those names in the dedication is quite funny

Colin having Jon s2 energy

Sam sounds so done when Alice points his lateness out, 100%

Alice’s sarcastic paper explanation is great. But her insistence that the response division doesn’t exist… coupled with the way she said that it was just a system spitting it out… you all know what I’m crossing my fingers for, I hope

The blogger returning to an old love, kick me in the teeth

Everything being deleted (0-0)

Voyeur? NEEDING to watch the movie? Dudes, come on.

UH HOLD ON BRO. THE SITE LOOKS BASICALLY ABANDONED, EXCEPT FOR A COMPETITION FOR A private screening and director discussion?? THAT IS NOT CHILL.

Dude it only asked for your name and ur only thought is that ‘oh, the draw was probably years ago’???!!!

The cinema being the same as when the blogger was a kid… and they don’t know if its still open?

I really think the ‘fears’ are desires now… blogger really wants something to truly scare them.

Ooo the effect on ‘UNINTELLIGIBLE’. Beautiful. Also that Jon sounds slightly peeved that he doesn’t know the precise curse word used… dude

Ok this guy is sort of just dumb.

More and more ‘unintelligible’. Probably bc the blogger was using voice-to-text, but I wonder if it’ll carry on for the rest of the ep

“This was after the accident” IM DEAD

Alice’s full on terror from being jumpscared… I look forward to future ‘boo’ s

The computer making a whomp noise and Alice going ‘oh don’t you start’. Gold.

The Devil Judge: Episode 14

I just finished The Devil Judge and something about this show compelled me to take copious notes - it had emotional intensity and layers of mystery. These are long and rambling, so they're likely not of interest to anyone else, but since I spent all that time writing it I decided, why not post it. Perhaps someone will find it interesting.

Below are my moment-to-moment reactions, predictions and analysis as I watched episode 14.

eps 1&2 ep3 ep4 ep5 ep6 ep7 ep8 ep9 ep10 ep11 ep12 ep13 ep14 ep15 ep16

I wrote about my initial impressions, up to episode 5, here and here.

This is cleaned up only slightly. I followed the spelling given in the Viki subtitles. I mostly don't explain what I'm reacting to, so this will probably only make sense if you've seen the episode recently. Occasionally I give timestamps.

I'm thinking about her death more. I don't think i would have been angry about it if they hadn't gotten together right before hand. because i can see other narrative reasons for her death - to make Ga-On break down and push him closer to Yo-Han (which could have been the mentor's death instead, although not as impactfully), or to remove his anchor to morality. And it's still fridging, but it's not fridging based in a lie, which is how it feels now. he can't be shown to choose Yo-Han over Su-Hyeon, because that would be gay. but now that she's out of the picture, he can go be with Yo-Han by default because that is somehow not gay. it's like they want to keep their cake and eat it too - be both gay and homophobic at the same time, so she had to die. boo hiss fuck you

ok. .the funeral. oh, Ga-On. he can't even go closer 💔

i was literally just thinking, Yo-Han's going to appear soon and he came onscreen one second later.

Yo-Han's unreadable face

My anger is pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief. On the one hand, that's a powerful statement, an intense interaction. On the other, do you guys think you're the only people in the world who've felt grief?

grey suits! is this the first time we've seen our men in grey suits?

I still love that Judge Oh is on the superhero team now.

it could be my imagination, but i feel like they've slightly lowered the swoop of Yo-Han's hair style, which is making him look less alien (from his high forehead) and therefore more human.

I keep wanting to say that prez Heo is overdone and implausible, but unfortunately he's not either :-( And I think from a US perspective, where the government usually maintains a public image of cohesiveness, some of this very public infighting also feels over the top, but it actually isn't as overdone as I think.

Seon-Ah is still wearing chains around her neck

unformed thoughts on this convo between prez and Seon-Ah.

prez buffoon is fucking insane! Does Seon-A think it's too far? I can't tell, and I can't predict. I love that she still feels unpredictable.

21:00 That felt like Yo-Han asked ga on on a date. obviously it's work, but the way they asked and answered...

the tenderness of Yo-Han's awkward attempts at caretaking <3

[I think even if they could be openly, gayly together at the end I wouldn't mind Su-Hyeon's death so much. because then it could be a widower romance, finding love after loss. I think they would also need more than three episodes to make this work though. as is, it really just feels like they're getting her and the pesky question of Ga-On's sexuality out of the way]

I just keep forgetting that they told each other they loved each other. In light of Su-Hyeon's death, their platonic hug feels, I don't know... convenient and fake? shallow? I keep forgetting that he's mourning an actual romantic relationship rather than just what could have been. this mourning would still make sense, still be as strong if they'd never gotten together.

I love Elijah's bluntness. both as a character trait and a narrative tool

"But it consoles me because it is awkward." I legit teared up at this.

(24:30). Yeah, even if she doesn't have a moral objection to murdering poor people, realising a plague virus is insane and uncontrollable.

It is a moral issue for her. good. I think I was expecting and hoping for that. i like her nuanced and not entirely cold blooded.

(26:00) this exchange with Jae Hui! She's surprised. Seon-Ah's... a little hurt? by the business relationship comment? Maybe I'm projecting. but there is something happening between them. I still ship them. Is something dramatic going to happen eventually? one of them dying in the other's arms? i could honestly see that working either way

[it is certainly a choice to have a major contagious disease be a government conspiracy in a 2021 tv series.]

is this the fucking milgram experiment? (42:30)

This is an intense piece of theatre, but I'm not convinced it's strategic. Then again, this show keeps surprising me by seeming logical against the odds.

I try to ignore the implausibility of these trials. and I acknowledge that it's a dystopia, and the legal system is based on one different from what I'm used to. but some things are still very hard to buy. Can a judge just decide to execute someone 24 hrs later? and do it in the middle of his personal courtroom? even if there are no checks and balances, isn't there a bureaucracy at least? doesn't he have to cite the law in his decisions. anyway. grabbing a crane to hoist my disbelief further out of the way.

(min. 46) Professor Min here again with the moral center of the story

does Judge Kang have a strategy besides 'make him talk?' I feel like he must, he always does. What I'm hoping for is that it is to somehow get the public to realize the cruelty and turn on Pres. Heo. Was he hoping prof. Min would speak out in protest, be the opposition voice he couldn't play? (but i suspect that's not the plan) Is he somehow driven more by emotion than logic in this? trying to catch YSH's murderer?

oh yes, and we still don't know the info she got from jeong joseph. So maybe the other reason to kill her off was to create a mystery and make Ga-On doubt Yo-Han again.

I suppose prof. min could turn out to be a bad guy. but I really don't think they're heading in that direction. it would be a very dramatic plot "twist" but this show so far hasn't been into twists for the sake of twists.

I see why they got this (apparently) big name actor for the part. he's good!

Yo-Han is reading Nietzche?! that's a little too on the nose. although to be fair it wouldn't be obvious if it wasn't subtitled. and perhaps it's an intentional performance for Ga-On. Yo-Han, babe, you can just talk to him.

Yo-Han's gone back to not explaining himself or his plan to Ga-On. I hope this has a character explanation and not just a way to keep the audience in the dark.

well, whatever else happens, the intensity between these two still works. wow. captivating.

hmmm. I'm not sure where this is going or if it's working for me. I know they had to set Ga-On and Yo-Han against each other again. but this trial...

the problem with this is.. it must be so obvious to even to in world viewers that the trials are manipulated? like how could it not. so the gotcha loses weight because it lampshades the weakness of the show's internal logic.

Ted Lasso, Season 3 Speculation/Spoilers

Don’t read if you don’t want to think about possible ideas for next season.

So, those of us who have rewatched the series a few times know the attention to detail put into Ted Lasso. I think a lot of clues are given with people’s phones (e.g.texts). Overall, I haven’t found many boo-boos.

So a while back there was a thread about how Bantr was a poorly put together app for the show.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TedLasso/comments/plng91/the_ux_on_bantr_is_trash_analysis_in_comments/

Some of the issues were the distances of the match-ups, how the symbol for male is used for all the people on the app and how the name “MaLeLeGeNd1” is a suggestion for both Rebecca and Sam.

I just feel that there are no “mistakes” that big in the show and I do wonder if Bantr is either going to come out as a faulty app AND/OR if it’s a cover for something like illegal data mining. To me, it always seemed like a convenient plot device that Bantr just happened to be ready and waiting to sponsor a football team at the right moment. (No disrespect to Keeley, I think she hustles for her work!)

Looking more closely at the names, we know that Rebecca is Bossgirl and Sam is LDN152.

However, here are their individual “suggestions for you”

Rebecca

MaLeLeGeNd1 - 1 km London

GOhoney - 8 km away Surrey

HORNdog - 2 km away Barnes

GINGERprofessor - 3 km away Surrey

Horny_DuDe - 4.5 km away France

born_this_way - 6 km away

Sam

MaLeLeGeNd1 - 1 km London

honey - 2 km away Barnes

GINGERempress - 3 km away Sussex

madam_GRAY - 4.5 km away France

Similar information! I am leaning towards it be a data mining type of app being used to get information about its customers… and perhaps leaking that information which could mean the Sam/Rebecca plot line could get more complicated. I also have a theory that the VC was always run by Rupert who is playing the long game with revenge on Rebecca (and Ted). So the sloppy duplication of online names might be to give the viewer clues.

On a different note, my other guess is that MaLeLeGeNd1 is Ted and the show has pulled a double bait and switch. They gave that hint in Rainbow (S2 Ep5) that Rebecca and Ted were texting on Bantr only to reveal that Rebecca and Sam were texting. But if you look closely, Rebecca had also been texting with MaLeLeGeNd1 on Bantr and the last thing he said was “It’s very hard to believe”.

So am I trying too hard? This is what one does with months before the new season!

S12: What If the challenges came in reverse order?

THE ORIGINAL ORDER >> THE NEW ORDER: E1. rap challenge >> Vegas performance challenge E2. broadway challenge >> One-woman show E3. improv challenge groups >> makeover E4. ball >> political challenge E5. acting challenge as one group >> advertising challenge E6. Snatch Game >> Madonna Rusical E7. Madonna Rusical >> Snatch Game E8. Droop advertising >> Gay’s Anatomy E9. political challenge >> Ball E10. makeover >> small groups improv E11. one-woman show >> Broadway performance E12. Vegas-esque show >> Rap performance/RuMix

EP1 opens with one half of the queens in their original configuration: Gigi, Widow, Jackie, Crystal, Nicky, Brita and Heidi enter the werkroom. Their challenge this week will be a tribute to the Werq the World tour, a performance with vocal and dance elements. Due to performance in the original episode 12, I see Gigi and Jackie - who performed phenomenally, but B2'd due to track record - as this week's top 2. I would expect Widow to not have as much ability to show off dance moves in this genre. As in the original ep12, the lipsync song is On The Floor. As we know, Gigi will be concealing some of her abilities at this stage, as she did originally, thus will deliver a similar comedy lipsync to Jackie rather than an acrobatic dance performance. As such, I actually see this win going to Jackie - Ru and Michelle will appreciate her rapping after demonstrating a softer side in the main challenge. As originally, there is no elimination. Jackie WIN, Gigi TOP2/HIGH, Brita HIGH, Widow SAFE, Heidi SAFE, Crystal + Nicky LOW.

Ep2 is the second premiere. Jan, RockM, Dahlia, Jaida, Predator Pie and Aiden have to perform a one woman show. Due to hosting experience, SP and Jan will be the top 2 in this challenge. They lipsync to 1999 by Prince, which Jan will win. I see all of the other girls struggling somewhat with this challenge which originally saw Jaida B2 as episode 11. Jaida however this time won't do as badly as Aiden or Dahlia who should be quite comfortably the two LOW placements, leaving Jaida and RockM as SAFE this episode.

Ep3 is now the makeover challenge, which will be a big ask for 13 queens who are just meeting each other for the first time now! Originally this challenge was won by Jaida. Outfits were brought from home and altered in the werkroom by the queens after meeting their partners. I see Jaida once again winning this challenge. Jan and Jackie as the winners of Ep1 and 2 will have the power to pair up their respective fellow debut queens with partners. As Jaida is a professional makeup artist who won originally even with a pale white partner, and who customized her garment on the fly, any partner should be workable for her to win - and I don’t feel either Jan or Jackie would deliberately give her a bigger partner to handicap her at this stage. The B2 for this challenge should be interesting. Based on the girls' skillsets and the difficulty of transforming with a family resemblance, the bottom 3 for this challenge I see being Dahlia, Brita, and Aiden. Dahlia because her aesthetic is limited and thus harder to definitively recreate as her own, Brita because her design skills were questionable and she may be paired with a drag daughter with a very different body shape to herself requiring last minute adjustments, and Aiden because she was generally one of the weakest queens. Of the three, I see Aiden being able to work out the best family resemblance through a simple black and white outfit and pussycat wig, leaving a B2 of Brita and Dahlia. Brita annihilates Dahlia in a lipsync to Kill The Lights. Crystal and SP retain the HIGH placements of the original challenge, with everybody else SAFE.

Ep4 is the polticial challenge with 12 queens, originally won by Jaida. It would be an unusual move, but I think the show would decide to let Jaida get a second win consecutively even by only episode 4, letting her be an early front runner threat storywise. Gigi's robot act will go down a lot better this time as it's the judges' first time seeing it - although her runway that missed the Stars and Stripes brief will assure she won’t go higher than Safe on this challenge. Widow should be more positively received now too as her arc is no longer over at this stage. I also think, based on likely challenge performance and her shared runway, Brita would find her lane in this episode and do quite well - her loud nature would be an asset in this kind of challenge, as well as it being a Rudemption for her previous B2. As such I see: WIN Jaida HIGH Widow Von Du and Brita SAFE all other queens, except Nicky, who struggles with this challenge due to language barrier/jokes coming across poorly, and Jackie Cox, for the same reason as originally - overreliance on one joke. Nicky and Jackie lipsync to Katy Perry’s Firework and Nicky is eliminated. The one LOW placement in the challenge goes to Aiden once again.

Ep5 is the advertising challenge, originally won by Heidi N Closet. Heidi doesn't have any stronger comedy competition here, and should win this episode nicely again with Crystal and Jackie HIGH. Of the remaining queens, Brita is likely to be Low. Aiden is a dead (boo.) cert for B2 in this challenge, and will be joined this week by Widow Von Du as originally. Widow obliterates Aiden to Chaka Khan.

Ep6 is now the Rusical with just about the original queens at this stage here; remaining in the competition are Brita, Rock M, Gigi, SP, Heidi, Jackie, Jan, Jaida, Widow and Crystal. Gigi lobbies for and wins Papa Don't Preach Madonna and once again wins the challenge, now her first win. Crystal and Jan are this week's HIGH queens, as originally. Brita originally stumbled here and does again in this challenge. Heidi this time joins her in the B2 and they lipsync to 'Burning Up' by Madonna. Heidi customarily eliminates Brita in 10th.

Ep7 this time round is Snatch Game, now with the addition of RockM Sakura in place of Aiden Zhane, and no Brita, since it's coming an episode later than in the original chronology. As such, we're without both of our original bottom 2, guaranteeing Crystal Methyd who originally placed LOW a B2 here. Widow Von Du will be Low in this configuration, and RockM will join Crystal in the B2 both for how I imagine she'd perform, and her runway, which will be the weakest there by quite a margin, since she shared her (quite basic) look on Insta. The lipsync, to Let It Go, will be very interesting - being not particularly in either Crystal or Rock's wheelhouse, but allowing both queens to give an emotional performance. I actually think Rock would edge this one on Crystal with the help of emotional connection and some well-timed acrobatic elements - unless she got stuck in her gown again - but Ru would make the call to save Crystal due to her greater interest in her. Rock M thus goes out in 9th. The episode is won by Gigi, becoming the second queen to get two wins consecutively, with SP and Jackie HIGH.

Ep8 is the Gays Anatomy acting challenge, now with three less queens than originally. The fork gag is cut, as is the gag of Meredith's recasting. Gigi and Crystal as the top and bottom of last week get to assign the roles. Widow lobbies hard for Dr Mother which originally went to SP, and Crystal as Widow's Missouri ally decides to let her have it. SP instead takes the other mother role that Widow originally had, with Heidi playing her baby due to her natural gap tooth. Gigi, Jackie, and Jaida maintain their roles, while Jan and Crystal now take on Brita and Aiden's doctor and patient routine - which will be much more in Crystal's wheelhouse. The runway category this episode remains the capes theme. SP once again wins this challenge, performing the scene much better with Heidi than Widow and Nicky originally did it, however, Heidi's runway pulls her funny performance down, as it did in the original challenge. Originally this challenge had 5 HIGH queens, which will reduce to 3 as we now have several less queens; hence this week's High queens are Crystal, Jan, and Widow. Jackie is Safe with Gigi - who didn’t have much to do in the original task and who has a worse runway than Jackie - Low, and this week's B2 are Heidi and Jaida - who on balance performed worst in the challenge and runway. Due to track record, Jaida knocks out Heidi in 8th.

Ep9 is the Ball challenge with remaining queens Gigi, SP, Jan, Jackie, Jaida, Crystal, and Widow. As originally, Gigi wins this challenge - although I personally thought Jaida was stronger - with Jaida HIGH and Crystal also elevated HIGH from the original safe queens, as original High from this challenge Nicky Doll is no longer with us. Jan is Safe with SP Low and Jackie now B2ing with Widow Von Du. Widow is eliminated based on track record.

Ep10 is now World's Worst, with six queens remaining. The challenges are reduced to two three person teams, chosen by the winner and B2 of last week; Gigi and Jackie Cox. The remaining acts are the Del Rio Trio and the Squirl Scouts acts - removing the dreary 3 Girls 1 Brain and the confusing fruits and vegetables act. Jackie, picking first, chooses the strongest actor in SP, while Gigi picks Jan. Jackie then picks Crystal based on Jaida's previous B2 in an actng challenge, so Jaida joins Gigi's team. Usually we have an acting challenge judged in teams, but this didn't happen in the original season 12, so we'll leave it out here too. Whichever configuration of the teams to scenes happens, SP will undoubtedly win this challenge as she did originally. We'll presume SP's team gets the Del Rio trio this time round. I can't see Crystal standing her own in a scene with SP and Jackie, and her buttons and bows runway landed her Low in the original episode so will ensure she B2s here. Aside from Crystal's assured B2 and SP's assured win, the rest of the girls are difficult to place as they may perform comparably to each other. Originally, Jackie was High in this challenge. However, she was coming off a High placement the previous week, whereas now she's coming off a B2. Her runway look and shaky mug was spared critiques when this was episode 3, but for this stage in the competition will likely be dragged harder as a step down from the glamorous looks she's already shown the judges in this episode order. Furthermore, Jackie's story arcs were played out by this stage in the original season. Additionally, she will have been in a team of 3 with SP, who originally dominated her scene partners. For that reason, I see Jackie joining Crystal in this week's B2. Jaida will be Low in the challenge, with Gigi Safe and Jan High based on performance and runway. Crystal and Jackie will lipsync to Problem by Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea. This is again one that could go either way - Jackie is bound to nail the rap, while Crystal will pull out some comedy dancing. My read is that Ru, based on track record and the fact this is Jackie's second consecutive B2, chooses here to eliminate Jackie Cox in 6th place.

Ep11 this time is the Broadway challenge, with remaining queens SP, Jaida, Gigi, Crystal, and Jan, and a Tulle runway theme. This challenge was originally won by Jaida, with Jan and SP High. With Gigi and Crystal in the mix, things will change a little, but not too much - Jaida and SP will be the highest and second highest once again. Gigi's undoubtedly acrobatic challenge performance and what she would likely bring for a Tulle look will see her Safe this week, while Jan - whose performance originally was disliked by Ru and Michelle, despite a High placement - will fall into the B2 with Crystal. As Crystal's third lipsync and second running, there's no saving her, especially against a seasoned performer like Jan, and with regret Ru eliminates her in 5th place.

This season's final challenge is now the rap challenge with Nicki Minaj guest judging. In a role reversal from the original season, the majority of queens remaining now did not originally compete in this challenge. The runway theme 'Sparkle' will now be renamed 'Finale Sparkle Eleganza', undoubtedly. Originally Gigi and Widow Von Du were the top 2 in the challenge. As Widow is no longer here, that top spot is up for grabs. Of the queens remaining, Jaida is most likely to have a good rap performance based on her performances in other such challenges, but would her verse be better than Gigi's? There's really no way of knowing. I feel that to avoid giving Jaida two wins in a row for a second time, the final win of the season would go to Gigi with Jaida High, SP Safe and Jan Low. However, all four queens would proceed to the final.

By track record this time, the queens run as follows: Jan: WSSSHSHSHBL Gigi: HSSSWWLWSSW Jaida: SWWSSSBHLWH SP: HHSSSHWLWHS

As in the original season, Gigi and Jaida have the best track record, so it will be between them for the win, whether or not SP is disqualified like in the original season (if her actions had, for example, not come to light before airing/live final). With a lipsync for the crown finale, the winner of the season is most likely to be, as originally, Jaida Essence Hall, who proved herself throughout the season to be the strongest lipsyncer on the show, and who defeated Gigi in the original finale.

FINAL RANKING BELOW TOP 4:

5th Crystal Methyd LHSHHBHHBB

6th Jackie Cox WSBHSHSBB

7th Widow Von Du SSHBSLHB

8th Heidi N Closet SSSWBSB

Poldark season 4 ep5

Jesus lordy I don’t think I’m yet recovered from ep4 but here we go

By your children, your wife, your dog lmao im sure garrick misses you loads ross, dogs being known for their missing masters who dont really like them

George telling ross to sit down, all these bitches booing him. honestly ive said it before but this is exactly what Parliament is like.

or it would be if they were in session here in NI

I’m glad ross has a set of pipes on him. George too I suppose but he seems reluctant to use them other than to yell get out of my house.

Sam, you be quiet. enough with your god bothering for 5 minutes. go back to kicking ass like you did with tom.

“you are heartless brutes” yea, you are. you dont give one tiny ratshit about anyone else.

Honestly elizabeth stans George even though he’s a dick and I still love her. she’s so supportive even though shes not blind.

Why is Unwin here?

Oh wait that’s monk woops. easy mistake. theres only so many boring white pompus men with annoying faces in top hats i can look at without getting them confused.

He’s still a dick.

is he related to unwin? he was a dick too.

WENNA!

AND BBY =D

D= Oh no. now its sad. Poor wenna. Yeah id probably threaten to murder someone to keep ossie off me.

Oh shocking, jumping cut to Drake.

the editing this series has been kinda weird. lota weird edits and cuts.

Rowella and her feet. I cant

But oh my god she’s amazing. She does not give one tiny fuck. I think I love her.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a poor house exactly? Like besides the obvious? whats the difference between that and a work house?

im going to google this later.

Oh Jesus, put the withworths away.

And ossie has a look on his face like he’s going to r@pe the poor girl where she stands.

This 4th season is really going for my heart with a knife.

Rosina deserves better. I know you’re only going to break her heart.

George you have amazing reach for someone so short. Ross ingratiating himself into high society? He’s going to a party, he’s going to get drunk and probably fight someone. calm.

Aaaannnddd sad again. Demelza and Dwight is sweet.

George and elizabeth matching outfits. i stan.

Oh damn monk is a shit stirrer. And elizabeth putting her foot down this whole scene was just big dick energy

Poor Caroline. She’s so miserable she cant stop to think so she just parties. Reminds me of modern times with drinking and drugging in the club or raves to that effect.

Oh great we get to see Osborne violate morwenna again. Because that’s exactly what I wanted to see.

Fuck off jacka. And whoever the fuck is toms brother.

And Osborne. Fuck off. I cant wait for his funeral.

“perhaps I should throw up my hands and go home” yea you’d like that wouldn’t you George.

Oh shit back to rowella, my bae.

Caroline don’t be betting. This is a spiral if ever i saw one,poor child.

“imma tell your dads, you lil bitches” power move ross, fucking power move

And vomity Geof Charles. Wonderful.

Oh wow I don’t think wanted to see anything less than rowella and ossie fucking.

Except maybe gc puking.

Poor elizabeth worrying about her baby. She’s such a good mom. Putting up with George’s shit so she can be close to gc.

Ross going to parliament to scat things up. Excellent.

Don’t tell me how Julia died because ill cry. Although ross connecting with Caroline is beautiful. Please stop avoiding the pain Caroline. OH SHIT SHES CRYING. ITS A MIRACLE

Morwenna has seen the gates of hell. And she is now unafraid.

i am afraid of this woman. when/if she gets over her trauma shes going to rule the entire world with an iron fist on one side and the softest touch of life on the other.

Nat Pearce is amazing “and you sir” is the most cutting line of the series.

Oh thank god, this fucker didn’t half linger did he.

IF YOU BREAK ROSINAS HEART I WILL GUT YOU.

Oh wait drakes crying. Now I’m sad for them, gdi. i was TRYING to be mad at you but now i cant.

Honestly couldn’t care about Rosina and drake because I've seen season 5

And now Caroline is making me sad. What is it with these last 2 eps making me WEEP.

Rowella stans her husband. I love her.

Fuck Mrs whitworth.

And I STAN MORWENNA FOR STANDING UP TP GEORGE AND ELIZABETH FOR WHAT THEY DID!

Honestly as much as I love elizabeth, morwenna is 10/10 best girl.

George and Liz faces when they realise what they’ve done.

“advantageous to whom” OHHHHHH.

“I am sick. Tainted” noooo poor baby. youre beautiful and perfect and you arent what happened to you.

George PLEASE stop fighting with drake. Please. I’m begging you.

Ohhh his name is harry. Tom harry and harry. Right

Elizabeth is great. That is all. Getting George to step down like she wears the pants .

Ope. Spoke too fucking soon.

REALLY. SETTING FIRE TO THE FORGE AGAIN?

Shut up sam.

Honestly Rosina deserves better than a carne.

“promise me you wont go after George” least someone in this family has some sense.

George looks so bored. tbh i would be too. there are no pots for him to stir.

So ross develops welfare and Dwight developers cpr. And Dwight is savage.

George getting outvoted lmao. Ooooohhhh he doin the face. The lil pouty face. Luv it.

Morwenna no thats special!

In conclusion: everything is horrible and I’m sad.

#poldark #poldark season 4 #ross poldark #demelza poldark #caroline enys #dwight enys #geoffrey charles poldark #george warleggan #elizabeth warleggan #caxy speaks #caxy is WEEPING #morwenna witworth #drake carne #sam carne

I just watched the NYCC 2017 panel where all this kissing close spiel comes from. David says that they're working on ep5 and have read ep6. So their knowledge of what happens goes to ep6 only on that panel. Chris says they get kissing close and Gillian says surprised: when does that happen? So if it does happen, it happens in ep7-10. But Chris also says they are professional partners not romantic in s11 and when the crowd boos he says: you can rage against the machine all you want. Not good.

Protip: Take anything Chris Carter says about literally anything and just ignore it. That's what David and Gillian do.

snb:vs ep17 aka where do I even begin with this

WARNING: nothing but salt in here, so if you think this ep is good and it makes you happy, do yourself a favor and scroll past please.

This ep post is divided into four parts:

the good part

the salt is real for azazel part

charioce the fragile baby bird part

tl;dr part

now

1. ON THE GOOD PART

first of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BOTHERING TO CARE ABOUT AZAZEL, KAISAR

currently you (and the grandpa demon chief from ep15) seem to be the only one to do so.

haha…ha… /cries

I guess I should just be thankful that kaisar at least mentioned his name, considering in ep10, 11, 12, 13, 14 not only he doesn’t get to appear, none seems to remember his name or his existence at all.

(bacchus and hamsa too seem to be forgotten, while we’re at it)

Also dang favaro looks so hot this ep? And considerably older. Something about him is just cool all over, but cool in that fun uncle whom you like to play with way, not cool cold way.

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see his armpit hair is still there hoho

Also favaro says that azazel’s not there since morning… meaning Azazel’s actually an early morning person???

That’s… unexpected lmao

I kinda thought with his being demon and also his vampire complexion, he’d have a vampire habit of sleeping in the day and be awake in the night.

But then again, he does have a job as an undertaker in the stadium, so uh, sorry for doubting your dedication azazel! Just because you’re a demon who seems used to being spoiled and egoist, doesn’t mean you’re lazy!

…why does he have to disappear just after he agrees to work together with kaisar in ep before? Doesn’t it look like he goes back on his words??? Show why you keep doing this to him yo

Well

Rita is actually good with make up and costumes. Color me surprised, bcs her doctor outfit is so…. baggy. But I guess attending patients are easier in such outfits compared to her casual ones lol

Meanwhile on heaven, a new ship is officially born

Sofiel really just says that, while fully knowing bacchus fell from grace bcs he chased after a human girl.

El officially has two moms now, aren’t you happy El >/////<

Speaking of El, nobody calls him El on earth, so probably even if azazel’s here, he would still not know that El is mugaro’s real name.

I was kinda hoping mugaro and nina are still in each other’s clothes by the time they meet azazel just to see his reaction to it and confirm what his reaction in ep7 actually was, but alas, since azazel’s not even shown at all, might as well have them back in their own clothes.

/bitter

Kaisar formally introducing himself to mugaro is weird bcs well, haven’t they met before? Countless times? Maybe not at night while azazel’s doing his rag demon routine, but during azazel’s job at the stadium? And during ep8?

But then maybe mugaro being jeanne’s kid makes a difference?

This part makes me a bit confused bcs all this time, I thought Kaisar’s actually aware of azazel being in Anatea (from the start maybe, bcs rita, so at least two years?), he just doesn’t realize until ep1 that the rag demon is azazel. And if he’s known azazel in the city for two years at least, he should’ve noticed mugaro’s existence, since mugaro hardly ever leaves azazel’s side, be it night or day.

Also, how long azazel’s been in anatea anyway? It should be more than two years, but none mentions it so far right? Even grandpa demon chief from ep15 just says azazel going away alone without any time modifier.

And yes, hamsa in that vest is cute <3

…now on to the hard part:

2. THE SALT IS REAL FOR AZAZEL

First of all, let me make it clear: I don’t care who ends up with who in the show; that’s what fics and fanworks are for.

and I know I keep repeating this, but from the start, I actually already expected nina and chari to end up together, so them ending up together, now, does not surprise me.

What surprised me is the way they (the writers) go to achieve it: which is by consistently undermining a “love rival” or another character (azazel) in order to make chari (the true love interest) looks good in comparison.

And this is… just so very painful for me as azazel’s fan.

I already wrote a bit about how azanina scenes in those early eps were actually foreshadowing for charinina plot, and it happens again in this ep.

Just compare the difference in the way the anime shows azanina and charinina interaction; same street, same place, but chari is a charming playful gentleman who ends up taking nina in a ‘romantic’ gateaway while azazel is a pushy jerkass who ends up on his ass in a comical position courtesy of rita’s punch.

Also pls compare these lines:

Those two lines technically commenting the same thing: meeting and reacting to each other.

And while Azazel’s line is more matter of fact and had a sense of inevitability to it, like “what happened happened and let’s just accept it and move on to do something about it”,

Chari’s line is unnecessarily more dramatic, and also more romantic, bcs wow how he makes nina sound so special and like she’s the only one, like he’s blaming fate or whatever, while at the same time confirming why yes fate is the one who makes us meet; if only fate isn’t so cruel blah blah blah

Sorry if I sound so skeptic bcs honestly I’m just… skeptic.

Like, wtf dude who are you? Who is this emo ooc parading around in charioce’s shoes? I don’t know him.

He has never showed sign of being emo even once during the whole 16 eps and then suddenly this??? yeah right.

But back to that line, I won’t blame nina if she falls for chari’s words hook, line and sinker bcs she always seems to be drunk in love in her own separate world and at first glance chari’s words is totally romantic – if you like your man dramatic.

So… to sum it up, from nina’s perspective (and what the show wants you to see it as) Azazel: matter of fact pushy jerkass with no romantic bone whatsoever to his body Charioce: romantic charming guy with romantic confession and is kind to kids.

Haha ha…. /bitter

AZAZEL DESERVES BETTER THAN TO BE A FODDER FOR CHARININA PLOTLINE

/phew

There I said it.

Just, you know, it seems everything azanina did is eventually going to be done also by charinina, except in a way that’s much cooler and romantic; and this is not bcs of chari or azazel’s characterization itself, but bcs the *show* needs and intends for chari to look better compared to azazel.

It’s in *the way* they show it, and not the act itself that actually really matters.

Personally, I hate how, bcs of Nina’s romantic and obvious shoujo manga view of her world, in the show Azazel’s treated like a persistent former boyfriend once ep6 rolls around and chari appears for real; like he’s suddenly being broken up by nina even tho 1) they’re not lovers in the first place, 2) he never shows romantic interest in her.

And honestly, I could understand azanina shippers’s frustration with the show’s current progress, bcs up to ep4, they have the most interaction and nina’s reactions to him is so very… leading, to say the least. Add to it the show’s marketing and main visual w/ nina surrounded by four guys, it seems at least azazel and chari had the same chance with her. (fava already has Amira and kai has rita, so they’re just not available to nina)

But then by ep5, it seems the whole 4eps doesn’t happen and azazel’s just mugaro’s boyfriend/brother/guardian aka *just* nina’s acquaintance, nothing more.

Add again to it the fact that nina doesn’t even seem to remember azazel exists ever since ep10 until now ep17. Not once does she ever wonder about how he’s doing, despite how she feels guilty over him in ep8.

Even taking the shipping issue aside, it’s just not good overall for nina’s characterization to forget about him and her guilt so easily, bcs that means once the ‘problem’ is no longer in front of her, she instantly forgets about it. That makes her so… flighty, easily distracted, and just…unreliable, to say the least. And seems unsympathetic toward others.

I’m not saying what happened to azazel is her fault; it’s completely his and his fault only.

I’m saying it’s important to follow up on her guilt and explore it a little perhaps, and not just act like it never happens, bcs she *did* say she feels sorry for what happened in ep8.

I *did* like azanina’s interaction more than charinina’s even though I didn’t ship them romantically.

But now (or more precisely, ever since that hot spring scene w/ nina and Jeanne) I just want nina to stay faaaaaaar away from Azazel.

esp since even if he meets her again, he's only going to be used for yet another charinina fodder and example how he's such a jerkass loser while chari is a charming romanticist anyway

GIVE HIM A BREAK, SHOW, GDI

I understand her head is full of charioce or something but the fact she COMPLETELY forgets about azazel despite their past interaction and what happened between them and how they saved each other at least once is just… haha… ha…

You know, if this pattern continues, nina’s actually going to forget about charioce too the moment another hot looking guy pays attention to her for a bit probably haha

So yeah.

I read someone says azazel has his own story and Nina has her own story, and that they just doesn’t care about nina’s. I AGREE COMPLETELY.

Indeed azazel and nina (and chari too tbh) have their own story, but while azazel & charioce’s story happens in the same line, Nina’s story while seems to happen in the same world, just doesn’t connect to their story at all (so far anyway, yes, even tho it’s 17th ep already).

3. CHARIOCE THE FRAGILE BABY BIRD (according to nina)

First of all, boo hoo, wtf why is she still getting red-faced by kaisar? I thought she already has her true love in charioce and no other man would do, but then kaisar appears and she’s suddenly back to her old self?

(esp when azazel no longer does it for her???)

Hamsa’s line makes it clear tho: that red-faced scene is done purely for comedy and not for any consistency or plot-relevant thing. If you’re trying to be consistent, show, then try to show her character development instead, her who is no longer easily blushing anymore. I thought this is already an established plot point, but apparently not, and it irks me greatly.

And that’s actually the biggest flaw in the show: the show is mainly story-driven and not character-driven, and for the sake of advancing plot, it sacrifices many things, including any consistency in Nina’s characterization.

I won’t be commenting much on the discomfort watching Chari & Nina playing with the demon kids bcs other ppl already covered that better than me.

But I’d like to point out the discomfort of watching Nina treating Charioce like some kind of fragile baby bird.

I’m just. WHUT.

In this ep, even tho he IS the king who enslaves and kills and destroys these demons, she’s more worried about HIS well-being than the demons who have no way of fighting back if he ever tries to attack them.

GURL PLS.

She worries about HIS clothes even though the demons kids’ clothes are far from being fit.

She screams when she sees the ball is a skull but shows no reaction at all to how HE naturally plays ball with said skull like nothing amiss, like he’s used to seeing skulls.

She trusts HIM instantly even though technically she is a fugitive and he’s the king who is hunting her and her escapee friends.

She worries more about HIM being in the slum than about the danger to HER FRIENDS by bringing their hunter to their own backyard.

All she thinks about is HER, HERself, HER feelings, HER thoughts, and HIM and I just.

GURL HOW SELF-CENTERED ARE YOU.

She really doesn’t think of things outside her immediate perspective or beyond herself. She does not even *try*.

She’s kind but she lacks empathy, which is why she needs direction and to be told to care before she could actually care.

I’ve said before how, bcs charioce never directly hurts her, she can’t think of him as a bad person.

And this scene:

I just.

the "an asshole to everybody else but a sweetheart to his girl" trope is such a popular trope in all kind of media that I'm surprised nina doesn't realize it's not weird or extraordinary at all.

ahem

I don’t understand why she can’t understand this: that both are part of him, both are *real*

On the other hand, she could accept and understand that Azazel’s kind to Mugaro but a jerkass to her. Both are facets of azazel, and she has no trouble parsing that.

But then when it comes to charioce, she suddenly loses all senses? Pfft.

Also, why does it matter which one is real? Chari still did both things; even if, say, the kind him is the real him, it doesn’t erase the fact he destroys Cocytus and enslaves demons and kills both demons and angels.

Like wtf gurl.

Also, the *wording* actually *matters*, and the way she says “making the demons and gods hate you” it’s like Chari is only pranking them or something harmless like that for the purpose of making them hate him, which is not true at all.

HE TORTURED AND MASS MURDERED THEM. WOMEN AND CHILDREN ALIKE.

No, Nina, it’s not hate what they feel for Chari; hate is too light a word to describe it. They try to murder him now bcs they’re trying to survive, since if he’s not dead he’s going to kill them all eventually.

Also, way to make this all about you, gurl.

Gods and demons being slaughtered left and right but all you care about is his attitude toward you, bcs it’s the only thing that matters to you the most apparently.

Bcs his countless victims, including Jeanne, mugaro, kaisar, azazel, the gods she called cute, totally do not matter at all to her.

Empathy what empathy.

Fuck.

I’ve written about it here, but her conversation with Jeanne in ep14 still gives me chills bcs wow, she perfectly knows chari is the one who hurts Jeanne and is the cause of Jeanne hurting her own child, yet she still dares, with no shred of guilt at all while claiming herself Jeanne’s friend, saying to Jeanne’s face that she *loves* charioce.

No consideration at all of how Jeanne’s actually one of Chari’s victims, no nothing.

The fact Nina doesn’t mention Charioce is the guy she likes is totally cheating and unfair to Jeanne, bcs now Jeanne has unknowingly approved of Charioce.

Cheating…or more like betrayal toward Jeanne, I think.

I wish Nina had done it purposefully tho, omitting Chari’s name in that scene I mean, bcs at least it means she’s aware jeanne’s chari’s victim and only trying to spare her feelings by not mentioning the name, while still keeping the conversation going.

But the fact she hadn’t is just. stupid and mostly empathy what empathy indeed.

Also this scene:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

WTF

…I feel so stupid for trying to analyze her transformation at all oh my god what a waste of time and energy

What about her mother’s words about how her transformation is realted to her father trauma and bahamut???? Where’s the follow up??? Where did that plotline go omg

I JUST.

REALLY, SHOW, REALLY?

That easy? So she’s basically, to quote someone, “just a dragon in heat.”

Wow.

Just… wow.

Also to anon from way back, I take back what I said about how nina’s ignorance is not meant as shallow; full offense, I really mean this: nina’s not only ignorant, but also shallow, only thinks of herself, and has no empathy whatsoever for others unless told to.

The fact Chari never hurts her is important, bcs to her, since she never experiences his cruelty herself, countless tales of his victims is just an unreal myth to her.

Meanwhile for Charioce himself, dude, how the fuck did you go from Charioce 13th to Charioce 17th so fast in less than 5 years, like did you kill 14th-16th or what?

They sure do love abandoning subplots left and right, don’t they haha

I thought he’s interesting at the beginning but he barely has any character development and frankly I’m bored and lost interest in him and his secretiveness just makes him irritating.

I’m not a patient person; sue me for losing interest.

Also, someone commented how Charinina’s lake scene makes them seem like Romeo and Juliet, like, if only they’re not who they are, then they must be able to be happy together.

WTF ROMEO JULIET WHERE

They both are humans, none’s stopping them from being together, he and his race are not at war with her or her race; he doesn’t even know dragonfolk exists.

Azazel thinks her a demon but then again he’s wrong about a lot of things, including mugaro’s origin.

No, dragons are not demons, and nina’s also half dragonfolk half human, so she’s mostly human.

The closest Romeo/Juliet relationship in the show is probably Chari/Mugaro or Chari/Azazel or even Mugaro/Azazel.

There’s no pre-existing condition between Nina/Chari, all the drama are recent and of their own making and not something that already exists as foundation of conflict.

4. TL;DR

I do think while Azazel deserves a lot of suffering, being comic relief and charinina’s fodder is not one of them.

Also Charioce still doesn’t have embarrassing pose and never experienced being the butt of a joke like the rest of the main casts wtf let the poor guy have his own embarrassing meme show

As protags, Nina and Charioce feel so flat to me. Nothing much happens to them personally, no mountain of problems to overcome, no nothing. Well nina has her transformation problem, but that seems so insignificant considering it only involves her and her alone.

Charioce doesn’t have problems to solve bcs he actually creates problems for other characters and somehow sit all the while being cool and charismatic doing nothing. Pfft.

I think, conflict and character development wise, Kaisar and Azazel deserve to be protags more. Kaisar has the Hero’s Righteousness ™ down to the smallest detail, while Azazel has the classic Hero Journey (starting from losing everything to trying to regain everything back).

Meanwhile, Charioce starts as a villain and continues on to be villain, while Nina just lets the waves take her.

Again, this is entirely my personal opinion.

Star Wars Episode 2: A rediscovery

OK... at this point, I’ve reviewed in series:

Rogue One Ep4: A New Hope Ep5: Empire Strikes Back Ep1: Phantom Menace

And boy, I am not excited for Episode 2. Still, I’m ready to give it a chance.

What happens when I do this is, I watch a movie that improves upon the effort in Episode 1. You can sense here that George Lucas took a lot of the criticisms to heart, maybe even ceded some control to others whom he trusts. Jar Jar is significantly toned down, the spectacle is there but the mystery and darkness is turned up a bit.

Still, we have a mostly flat movie. Only one “9″ scene and really it’s just the visuals, which have always been Star Wars’s strength. And, we are introduced to George Lucas’s Awkward Teenager Fantasy of a Space Romance (tm) featuring a horribly directed Hayden Christensen and a bewilderingly amenable Natalie Portman. Like, at no time at all in this movie does it make sense that Padme should be falling for this petulant, whiny, and kind of creepy kid... unless we simply assume that she kind of sucks, too.

Despite John Williams again trying to save the day (and this romance) with a score that soars to beauteous heights with Across the Stars, the film definitely fails here. The infamous “sand” line, etc etc etc all to come.

Lastly, we get an incredibly hokey and just inexcusably bad Gladiator style setpiece. 1′s and 2′s abound. The end result is a film that kind of flops on the main plot points and otherwise just plods the prequel plots forward, setting up an ep3 that might well have been made into three movies since it’s the only prequel that is interesting or ties to the originals in any satisfactory way.

On to the scores.

Average score: 5.48 Standard deviation: 2.07

Scroll. 7. This whole scroll made me say, “I guess...” Like, fine, I guess Count Dooku is a necessary new Sith character. I guess the Republic needs to create an army to help the Jedi... None of it makes me that excited. Appropriate omen for the rest of the movie.

Approaching Coruscant. 6. Very pretty ship. Very pretty cloudy day on Coruscant. Terrorist attack! Holy shit! Hollywood dramatic death of the decoy getting killed, bad directing/acting by Amidala. I wrote, “woof.” talk about botching an interesting idea.

Palpatine and Jedi. 7. More expository scenes here. “Dooku was behind it.” Sure, whatever. Keep republic together, sure, whatever. Yoda is fine. Samuel L is bad (must be the directing...). Palpatine scheming is just sort of Meh.

Obiwan and Anakin. 8. Not too bad, to be honest. Ewan does well, he’s turning up his “Alec Guinness” knobs quite well.

Jarjar / Padme, re-meet Anakin. 7. Damn, Amidala friendzones Anakin immediately. Anakin less good in this scene vs. with Obiwan. But the tension here actually makes sense. I wrote, “I’m OK with it.” Jarjar, man. Boo.

Worm assassination attempt, city chase. 6. This was supposed to be a big sexy setpiece and I was not loving it. Pretty imagery - very bladerunner - but Anakin’s “not another lecture” and subsequent arrogance during the chase scene means I really can’t understand how the Jedi didn’t see this coming. He’s a total prick. On top of that, one basejump from a speeder down 500 feet to another moving speeder *might* have been excusable, but two? And Obiwan catching a lightsaber out of nowhere? Plus, we get bad alien cutscenes. They go to a bar and there’s robot football on in the background, and that’s just a SMH / facepalm type stupid easter egg. Wasn’t into the cigarettes / “death sticks” line that much either. Anakin as a detective is a “meh.” Just... lots of falling flat going on here.

Jedi Council and Palpatine. 8. Obiwan tracks down the bountyhunter-assassin and Anakin gets to guard the Senator. So, I actually think this is starting to set up Anakin’s turn pretty well. Palpatine is subtly sowing confusion, discord in Anakin’s mind. The council shows serious flaws in trying to spy on Palpatine via Anakin. Palpatine can appeal to Anakin’s ego. Again, the Jedi really were pretty stupid, which I guess we just have to believe (and call-forward to Episode 8, Luke’s POV).

Jarjar becomes senator. 3. Copy-pasting my notes: “bad. why is anakin monologuing? padme is just sitting there. anakin temper tantruming for no reason. anakin a little rapey.”

Refugees. 3. I skipped over this scene accidentally and that would have been appropriate. Anakin and Padme stilted banter is bad. “At least we have R2! ha, ha, ha!” Good music (as always, JW).

Diner. 5. Obiwan goes to see an “old friend.” They give a big alien a mustache and have him talk like a Chicago line cook. Gimme a big “meh!” Gotta go to the outer rim to meet some cloners. hurray.

Library. 7. Jedi archivist arrogance. The mystery deepens - no system is there where the cloners are supposed to be! zomg. But this is all fine, and almost decent with deepening the mystery.

Padme and Anakin refugee dinner. 7. Kind of as painful as watching someone’s first date at a bar while waiting for a friend. “Attachment is forbidden but we’re encouraged to love unconditionally” and a bunch of other hoke. Anakin is persistent. Still, not a bad scene.

Jedi training w/ Yoda. 7. A little hokey how Yoda asks the padawan kids to guess at why there’s no system in the archives. A bad yoda chin scratch. A little hokey, but good.

Back on Naboo. 4. Good music. Dialogue between Anakin and Padme continues to be pretty rough. “Keep our faith in the republic.” More politics. Lake country. Anakin and Padme tension is dumb.

Camino. 7. Bad name, cool scene. Good mystery unfolding... why is Obi-Wan expected? What are all these soldiers doing here, who ordered them, what’s going on? Kind of clunky revealing dialogue and the CGI is a bit out of hand but also decently cool. I wrote: “I’m OK with the secret army storyline.”

Lake country on Naboo. 2-6. Padme is smoking hot. Beautiful scenes here, but then we get this gem: "I don't like sand. it's coarse, rough, irritating... gets everywhere. Here, everything's soft and smooth." Anakin is such a douche. Padme lets him kiss her, but why? Not sure i'm buying this shit. Love song (Across the Stars) is amazing. Beautiful waterfall. But then they dissect their first kiss. mehhhhh. Let's talk politics at a picnic? No. "Make people agree." Anakin is authoritarian and sort of evil. How could she fall in love with this dude? Then he surfs a cow. No. Now they’re rolling around in the grass. No. No thanks.

Django and Boba on Camino. 8. One of the better and subtler scenes maybe in the whole series for acting. Obi-wan and Django do a great job of dancing around each other verbally while sizing each other up.

Anakin-Padme Dinner / Wooing. 3. God, I wish I didn’t have so much to say about this tripe, but I do. I guess i'm fine with wooing Padme with Jedi tricks... But I still don't really buy the love story. And now we get lines like: "I'm in agony. the closer I get the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you." Suuuuuper creepy. “Haunted by the kiss you should have never given me.” “You are in my very soul tormenting me.” Honestly! This is like The Room. "THEN YOU DO FEEL SOMETHING!!!" Just a bad scene overall. Now Anakin is getting nightmares. "Your presence is soothing." Meh. Natalie Portman - did I mention she’s smoking hot? Anakin's mother is suffering in his nightmares, so he’s leaving to help her. Padme will go with him!? what the fuck. Bad lines too. Also callback to Luke leaving to help Han and Leia... I don’t know. Bad.

“Collect call.” 7. I believe this is the scene where Obi-Wan calls back to the council and Yoda or Samuel L. says their powers are diminished for not being able to see the creation of this clone army. Decent plotline, OK.

Django Fett vs. Obi-wan fight. 6. Decent. Too much ledge-hanging and Jedi are too super-duper-heroey. Tracking Django is fine but looked hokey.

Tatooine. 4. A fancy ship lands at Mos Eisley... man, they’re really going back to this well a lot. We see the stupid slave owner bug guy again and long story short, Anakin’s mom has been taken by the Tuskan Raiders. Time to kill some things.

Obi-wan tracks Django. 6. Asteroid field again. Depth charges again. Supposed to be a good action setpiece but I’m distracted because there’s not supposed to be any cool noises in space. Fine with Obi-wan faking his death to avoid Django. Very pretty scenery and Obi-wan sneaks around some. Whatever.

Anakin on the mother hunt. 1-7. Clever shadow of Anakin-as-Darth on the side of the building. Back to good music from Ep1. Finds his mom, and we’re back to bad dialogue. “Ani? Ani? Ani? Ani?” ... should feel something here, and don’t. The actor chemistry is just so bad, and I blame George. Still, Anakin going HAM is a good slip to the dark side. Hebrings his mom back dead, and proceeds to monologue shittily to Padme. "Life seems so much simpler when you're fixing things. I'm good at fixing things.” Awful. “Why'd she have to die? Why couldn't i save her? I know I could have?” what the FUCK. Terrrrrrrrrible. "I killed them. I killed them all." "I'm a jedi, I know I'm better than this." OK, finally at the very end as he breaks down, some sort of decent turn in this scene.

Count Dooku. 4. Jesus, how long is this movie? We get a random weirdo trying to create a new treaty with the trade federation to oppose the Republic. TWIST! This is what the rebellion does, but they’re somehow good! Sigh.

Yoda and Windu. 4. “Pain, suffering. Young Skywalker is in pain.” Whatever.

Funeral, message. 4. Here’s what I wrote and I remember none of this: “Clete is fine. Not really buying the whole anakin thing with mom. anakin stay where you are and protect the senator! padme is a mess too.”

Senator scheming. 5. So blatant. Sometimes this plotline is really well done and sometimes is sucks. Could have given this a 3-5.

Dooku and Obi-wan. 7. OK, we have an exposition-y scene where Dooku tries to recruit Obi-wan to his side. This scene saved by two very good actors giving a good performance.

Jar Jar in Senate. 2. The worst thing the franchise ever did gets to deliver the vote that gives Chancellor supreme powers. Jar Jar is a f***in’ tw*t. And Chancellor creates the Grand Army of the Republic.

Padme and Anakin on planet. 1. Oh, right. Anakin was going to go find Obi-wan or some shit. Padme saving the day with her senate powers! mehhhhhh. C3PO and R2 engage in dumb banter, but not as bad as jarjar. We’re now on some kind of shop floor ... that’s a No. Padme is now running through stampers. No. Bad. Dumb. No. Anakin also dumb. No. bad. My reviewing devolves into 2-year-old level angry language. We see machines making machines. C3PO hangs off a ledge. R2 flies around... come on. Wow, this is so bad. Padme falls into a fucking steel boiler. NO. NO NO NO. Anakin’s lightsaber is cut in half and we get a terrible "Obi-wan's gonna kill me." BOOOOO. And now droids and the fucking bountyhunter show up. God, that was worthless.

Padme and Anakin pre-Gladiator. 2. Anakin gets to deliver this gem: “I’ve been dying each day since you came back into my life. I love you.” I don't feel this makes any sense. Except I guess it’s clear now, as i said at the beginning of the review, that Padme kinda sucks. “I truly deeply love you.” Why?

Gladiator Death Battle. 1. HOW LONG IS THIS MOVIE? Also: GOD, THIS IS HORRIBLE. The only good part is Obi-wan with some sarcasm, otherwise we have unnecessary zerg monsters and midriff-revealing claw slashes and general dumb gladiatorial action. The “bad feeling” line was terrible, worst of the series. And where did Padme get her fucking keys?

Jedi save the day. 3. The Jedi look very hokey and stupid, to be honest, and they don’t look like very good fighters at the end of the day. Scores 3 for light sabers but otherwise it’s a 1 or 2 scene. What’s the end game here? Get surrounded and killed? Django vs. Mace Windu who cares. We get terrible Anakin and Padme cheesing, terrible C3PO humor, bad Jedi vs. Droids action, just all around shit.

Clones save the day. 5. Yoda arrives with clones to save the day. At least the plotline is somewhat nuanced - who is fighting who, who is good and who is not. This ambiguity is good. But nobody wanted to kill Dooku until he was already escaped? Sort of mediocre action. Soundtrack just sounds like the matrix. Why is yoda so into the fighting? He’s trying to protect the Republic, which he knows is eroded. The jedi sure fucked up.

Death Star Plans? 5. So having seen Rogue One, this doesn’t make any sense at all (continuity errors!) ... but the DS was actually a design from the Trade Federation, apparently? Not into this. George Lucas sucks and Dooku sucks.

Dooku Chase. 7. God, I can’t wait for this to be over (the movie and the review). Padme falls out of the transport - OK. Obi-wan and Anakin argue and it’s good. Finally some good acting out of this guy.

Dooku fight. 7-9. Notwithstanding that Dooku seems like a very unnecessary character, this climax is decent. Anakin’s an idiot apparently, and force lightning is apparently a big sith weapon. OK light saber fighting until double-lightsaber fighting, at which point it’s hard to follow the action. George is too busy focusing in on faces. And Yoda shows up. Huzzah. Fun to watch him with the light saber, maybe a bit too much spining around and Yoda ParkourTM, but why is he shouting? Aren’t Jedi supposed to stay calm? What happened to the Quigon meditation approach? Dooku esacpes. bleh.

Dooku Sidious meeting. 8. It’s all going to plan, yes, yes. Who the fk is Lord Tyranus? Very good music. War has begun, cool. All to Sidious’s plan, no surprise.

Yoda and Windu. 7. "Victory you say? Not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the clone war has." Meh.

Clone Deploy. 9. The visuals of Star Destroyers lifting off and a huge army deploying is pretty cool. This is the highlight of this movie, which is sad.

Secret Marriage on Naboo. 7. Very pretty shot, no dialogue is good, anakin has a fake arm, bad kissing. definitely not an “8″.

Credits. 6. The tone of the ending music (traditional theme) is too upbeat. Should have taken a page (pre-emptively) from Rogue One’s book and used a quiet, somber theme. Gets there after a minute or so. Bleh. So glad this is over.

VERDICT

Not memorable, not unique, and basically a handful of scenes could have done the job here instead of what felt like 5 hours of filler. Happy to forget this movie ever happened. It grades out on the histogram as mostly 7′s and an even distribution around 4 or 5, but really, the 7′s were often due to boredom or “meh” type scores. Very flat movie in experience, with only downside and very little upside.
