#s9 episode 13

[oh-hamlet]

finally hit hell bent on my capaldi rewatch. I'm in bits.

#that episode had no right to turn me into a weeping 13 year old like it was nothing #I haven't rewatched s9 in an age but I honestly thought I was more stoic than this 😭 #twelveclara exposure therapy via fandom clearly doesn't work #need the real thing #(I remember so clearly when this episode aired I had a sleepover at a friend's house to watch it #and me her and her little brother all sobbed #her mam must have been so concerned LOL) #I almost never cry at media so I wasn't expecting to on this rewatch #but man it was like a switch flipped #that capaldi coleman chemistry don't pull any punches..... #I honestly can't believe moffat just wrote that #like that is a crazy thing to do with doctor who #and in general #but specifically with doctor who #what the hell 💀 #🥺

[queerstudiesnatural]

when you guys talk about season 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13. i don't know what you're talking about

#keep seeing posts about s12 in particular and that season is the biggest ???? to me i have no idea what happens in it #i remember s1-7 clearly #s8 is a blur but i know benny is there and the crypt scene is there and i think? the trials are there but i don't really remember that #s9 has. metatron? doing. something. dean dies at the end #s10 has demon dean but that lasts for like two episodes and then idk what happens except for that deancas fight with the blade in the book #s11 is a huge ? #amara is there but doing what? who fucking knows #s12 has british people for some reason #s13 has cas in a cowboy hat. and jack. and wayward sisters. that's about all i know #and then i remember s14 and s15 a little better because i watched them in 2020 when the finale came out #but basically i haven't seen s8-13 since they aired lol #and i'm not gonna change that

[mikuhats]

my plan of action is finish s6 of AT tomorrow and then watch 7,8,9,10 in the coming days and then i watch distant lands and that should land me uhhhhhh late next week or so and then ill have rewatched the whole show before fionna and cake episode 1 airs :-) and then i can finally play my video games without feeling bad for slacking on my adventure time homework

#text #for context s6 is 48 episodes long while s7-9 is 26~ episodes long and s10 is only 13 episodes long #most of this week was trucking through s5 which is 52 episodes long #s5&s6 together make up 100 episodes so its a lot to truck through!!!!!!!!!!!!! but im almost done! #also im wrong s9 is 14 episodes long

[elexuscal]

So you want to watch Fionna and Cake…

Without having watched Adventure Time?

Or maybe you watched up to like season 3 when you were twelve, or caught a few episodes while high in college. Regardless, you've seen images of that wet meow meow old man or the the cute sword chick or the gay vamp/sugar queen pair and you're curious. You want in, and you don't wanna slog through 10 seasons of TV first.

Absolutely valid. That said, I do think that Fionna and Cake is… nearly impenetrable if you don't have at least some grounding in the original series.

So here you go: a curated list of 19 episodes to get you more-or-less up to speed. Most AT eps are only 11 min long so it shouldn't take long to get through! And while you'll definitely still be confused about some elements in the series, i think sitting there going 'huh, wha?' is an important part of the Adventure Time experience.

Enjoy!

S3, E10: What Was Missing Establishes key character dynamics

S3, E9: Fionna and Cake The first gender swap episode

S3, E19+20: Holly Jolly Secrets What's up with the Ice King's VHS tapes?

S4, E25: I Remember You Why is Marceline hanging out with the villainous Ice King?

S4, E26: The Lich Finn's idol tasks him with defeating an ancient evil.

S5, E1: Finn the Human Finn struggles to fight off some raiders.

S5, E2: Jake the Dog Jake makes a wish.

S5, E11: Bad Little Boy The second gender swap episode

S5, E14: Simon and Marcy Flashback!

S5, E48: Betty Simon tries to fix a past mistake

S7, E6-13: The Stakes Miniseries Technically optional, but great backstory and character development.

S7, E23: Crossover Can Finn help another version of himself?

S9, E12: Fionna & Cake & Fionna Finn meets a mysterious woman claiming to be THE Fionna.

S10, E13-16: Come Along With Me The series finale, which sets up where the sequels move on from.

Distant Lands: Obsidian Marceline and Bubblegum set off on a quest which brings up unpleasant memories of their youth.

#fionna and cake #adventure time #simon petrikov #bubbline #and definitely considered more of the Betty-focused episodes for more context of Themes but i wanted to keep this lean #while there are some absolute bangers in here they aren't necessarily AT's best #the focus is just on relevancy

what a lot of people seem to miss when analyzing c!gem is her savior complex and how prevalent it really is

think of every single player series she has, always helping a village/villagers; afterlife and hc s9 transforming a village was also a large part of those series. in afterlife she purposely triggered a raid to be officially "hero of the village" also justifying the raid through unconnected things (a random blue moon) afterwards the village is actively on fire from her and she comments on how a few iron golems probably died while still calling it a victory (afrterlife ep 10)

it even extends outside of npcs. the most notable example being in esmp s1. she stood by fwip and sausage no matter what, but when jimmy asks for her help, gem doesn't do anything right then and there. instead, she has a private meeting with jimmy to ensure him that she can help him (esmp s1 ep 8). with xornoth, she was one of the biggest helps tracking information about them, even if it was detrimental to her own well-being (an example being getting kidnapped in ep 13). saving the ender dragon, saving sausage, saving shrub, saving joey, "saving" scott. giving scott unwanted help is what led her to be partly corrupted by xornoth, and sticking so physically close to fwip is what made crystal cliffs one of the most vulnerable empires to the rapture

you could also argue that this trait appears in esmp s2, though less obviously, because in lore, she is the one who is producing the majority of golden carrots. another example within this series is her religion. in the episode, she introduces it in (ep 11) with the goal of it to 1. look cool, 2. ensure everyone is safe from phantoms. she states over and over again how the church/religion is to help the people. while none of this is malicious and doesn't harm anyone, it exemplifies their need to provide

in secret life, the way she keeps, purposely or not, being the leader of armies; though the ender dragon fight holds the most weight here because she chose to do that. after the boogeyman apocalypse, she outright states, "i seem to be a bit of a hero on the sever" (ep 8 7:07). actively positioning herself in such a way to prove to anyone listening or to herself that she was in the right for murder basically everyone for zero benefit to the victims. cleo even points out how she will have to turn on pearl/the mounders eventually, but she refuses this notion because she believes that she can save everybody

#i'm writing this with all the love in my heart for c!gem btw #geminitay #empires smp #hermitcraft #secret life #posting this and hoping i don't get burned at the stake #also this isn't supposed to outright villianize c!gem just saying she has an intresting flaw that people can do a lot with #also also this mixed with her natural self-preservation is so interesting to me

Less can be more (if a bit frustrating)

One thing I always find remarkable is that Steven Moffat managed to bring the amazing romance between the Twelfth Doctor and Clara to something of a climax in Series 9 despite the two being separated for so much of the season. A quick recap to show you what I mean (spoiler warning for people still working their way through the season - I'll put a break here too):

Prologue minisode (I still believe this was a deleted scene from Magician's Apprentice): Clara absent

Doctor's Meditation minisode: Clara absent

Magician's Apprentice: Clara spends a good chunk of the episode with Missy searching for Twelve.

Witch's Familiar: Clara and Twelve are separated until near the end with Clara as technically Missy's companion (hence the title).

Under the Lake: Clara and Twelve together

Before the Flood: Although in communication ("that" video call!), Twelve spends most of his time in the past with Clara taking on the Doctor role with the people remaining in the base as her companions.

The Girl Who Died: Clara and Twelve together, even though Clara has a "mini-adventure" with Ashildr as her companion (the Mire sequence).

The Woman Who Lived: Clara absent until the last scene as Ashildr/Me becomes the companion for the episode. I recall this was to allow Jenna to film Me Before You.

The Zygon Invasion: Bonnie replaces Clara for nearly the whole episode, though no one realizes this at first.

Zygon Inversion: Even if Bonnie wasn't still taking Clara's form, the Doctor is with Osgood as his companion for most of the episode, except for the war speech scene where he reunites with the real Clara.

Sleep No More: Clara and Twelve together.

Face the Raven: Clara and Twelve together.

Heaven Sent: Twelve alone except for Clara's "spirit" appearing a few times and him "talking" to her throughout.

Hell Bent: Twelve and Clara don't really reunite on Gallifrey until nearly the halfway point of the episode. Yes, he's with Clara in the diner the whole time, but he doesn't realize it's Clara until the very end (and even that could be open to interpretation).

(Some episode guides also include Husbands of River Song as part of Series 9 since there were only a few weeks between them - obviously no Clara in that one).

So, of the 12 proper episodes of Series 9 (not counting the minisodes and Christmas special), Clara and Twelve are only truly together for 4 (5 when the special circumstance of Hell Bent is included). That's well under half no matter how you divide it.

Compare with Series 8 which had only one episode - Flatline - in which Clara and the Doctor were separated for most of the story (albeit she was essentially carrying the TARDIS around in her handbag the whole time and was in constant communication with him; they just weren't standing next to each other very much). They were also separated in Robot of Sherwood and Mummy on the Orient Express, but only for a few scenes, not to the degree of Woman Who Lived. We also have to factor in Danny Pink playing a major role in several too, of course (Caretaker, Listen), but even then the Doctor was the dominating presence (and Moffat did decide not to make Danny a travelling companion for a reason, despite clearly setting up the ex-soldier to become the next Ian Chesterton).

And yet what we had in S9 was amazing and left us wanting more. I certainly would would have loved to see the show go back to 13-episode seasons (which was the format in the first few RTD seasons) so we could have had just a little bit more.

tagged by @adihildilid <3 to make a supernatural seasons tier list

The primary driver for my rankings is largely Sam arcs and memorable Sam moments. Sorry this is really long-winded, I'll put the tags first and my rant below the cut.

(trying to not repeat those who have already been tagged): @ruinedsam @small-scale-majestic @sounknownvoid @supernaturalconvert @acesammy @adaav @supamerchant @glowingsamulet

S2 is my all-time favorite with Sam's powers, the Special Children, episode after episode with writing and acting that just knocked it out of the park, and one of the very few seasons where Dean is actually likeable. S4 would be up there for When the Levee Breaks alone, plus we get multiple BAMF!Powers!Sam episodes. S6 gives us more awesome Jared acting with Soulless!Sam plus gems like 6x09, 6x15, 6x20, and finally Sam's wall breaking in 6x22. And it's got my favorite Dean-worried-about-Sam moment at the end of 6x13.

The next tier down, most of them have a mix of hits and misses. S1 got me hooked but was still finding its footing, S3 had some clunkers but also a few of my favorites, S7 had Sam's hell trauma and (unpopular opinion) the Leviathan which I actually enjoyed (especially long-suffering George the Leviathan from 7x16), plus 7x17 which was my second all-time favorite episode. S11 I loved for the Sam and Lucifer arc, Baby, the fact that the Big Bad wasn't actually evil, the briliant performance by Curtis Armstrong in 11x20, and finally the end of the insufferable MoC arc. Oh yeah, and there's Red Meat, which is the ultimate combination of my two favorite things: BAMF!Sam and Hurt!Sam. The only thing that drags S11 down is the cringeworthy, forced, and completely purposeless thing between Dean and Amara.

Not much to say about seasons 9, 12, 13, and 15. There are a few decent arcs (Sam + Gadreel and Crowley in s9, Mary coming back, Sam and Lucifer again) but also some snoozers (MoC, BMoL which had potential until they were turned into mustachio twirling villains, Dean once again being a complete asshole and his cringe man-pain in s13). With the exception of the series finale, S15 was just meh. And they somehow managed to screw up Sam's magnificent hair.

Oh, and regarding S13 having the worst wire work ever put to film: I view it as pure karma for them not letting Sam be the one to kill Lucifer.

Most of S10 was almost unwatchable to me for the laughable attempt at forcing Dean into "dark" role but then chickening out and turning him into a slobbering drunk frat boy instead (MoC), the bratty and arrogant Claire, and the one-dimensional writing for Rowena (that goodness they added depth to the character later). The only things that save this season are the two attempted fratricides and the episodes that focused on Sam's attempts to save Dean. S14 only has a few memorable scenes, let alone episodes: Sam declaring that there will be no new King of Hell in 14x1, Sam talking Dean off the ledge in 14x12, and Sam shooting Chuck. The rest of the season is nothing but poorly redone recycled Sam arcs handed out to other characters. And no offense to Jack, I think the character was extremely well-acted, but he just didn't add anything to the story once they took Sam's role of being his Dad away.

Finally for S8: I have a love-hate relationship with that one. The front half of S8 has Dean being a complete asshole and the narrative focuses only his POV, leaving us with several missing months from Sam's POV. They just skip right over showing us Sam's utter devastation at losing everyone he loves in an obvious attempt to force the sympathy all towards Dean, but the more thoughtful viewers didn't buy into it. Fortunately, the Trials!Sam arc counters the hideous PoOr dEan bias from earlier on. Plus I'm an angst junkie, and we get angst galore and an attempted fratricide to boot. The back half of the season does finally show Dean being appropriately appreciative of Sam's capabilities, even if he can't express that to Sam's face, and we get yet another outstanding Jared performance in the finale. Unfortunately, what we don't get is any growth whatsoever from Dean who, even as he's watching his brother die, is still in complete denial of his shitty treatment of Sam being the cause of his breakdown. I desperately needed Dean to understand just how much of an impact his constant criticism and mistrust of Sam had, and for him to go through that epiphany and change for the better. Instead, what we get is yet another flippant denial ("Hell, I know I've said some junk that set you back on your heels. But, Sammy…come on.") as if it's Sam's fault for "misinterpreting" the deliberate emotional abuse Dean heaped on him earlier in the season (and really, for much of Sam's life before that).

tagged by @wilsonthemoose for spn season tier list challenge! this was very fun and i spent way too long on it lol here's my justification:

legendary fave: i'm a kripke era girl. as if it's my fault. not ranked in any particular order, equally love 1-5 (but esp 2) this is just objectively good television

really good: by "really good" i mean i love the stupid motw eps here but the season arc is just ok. 11 would be higher if they weren't so fucking weird about born-sexy-yesterday amara, 6/7 would be lower if i had any self respect (i don't) sorry i love a dumb motw ep! sorry i love a spray tan and a dick joke!

decent: 8 would be really good if not for the amelia of it all, just so ooc for sam i can't take it. sam's tarzan hair and the gay cajun vampire sidepiece almost make up for it. 12 is objectively bad on paper but i'm feral for mary winchester and the bmol are camp and terrible and STUPID and i love to dunk on them. the kelly kline of it all...i'm not sorry that republican fucking died. also mark pellegrino as lucifer again...pass. rick springfield as lucifer? SMASH

barely tolerable: s10 commits the cardinal sin of being boring. it's boring. i'm bored. handful of cool motw episodes and sexy conceits (deanmon) but they have the least amount of fun possible with it.

unwatchable: there is not a single episode of s9 i care about. skip.

it's complicated: i refrained from ranking 13-15 bc i'm rewatching rn and hoping my opinion will change bc if i had to rank them rn it would be...not good. scoobynatural save us all

So for lack of theory of mind, in Etho's HC S9#16 at 2:05:43 he referenced not only Bdub's victory speech from last week, but also the SoF #1 episode at 2:13 ( 9 years ago) where he booed Bdubs thanking his mother

ill double check the victory speech, i love that SoF moment but i'm not sure if it falls under theory of mind because i don't believe there's any context to it he was just being crazy ? and if there was like a specific reference he was annoying bdubs with then well bdubs was there so it's more an inside joke. stuff like plethora doesn't quite count because it's a reference to bdubs but bdubs isn't there, nobody there would understand what he meant. however i will Def include it somewhere in it

#anon #asks

[addictedtostorytelling]

hiya! gil has a lot of pets throughout the show, like Hank, and at least one spider, and his cockroaches and some other bugs (and the foetal pig, which i personally choose to count. i bet he talks to it.) i was wondering if you or anyone else knew an approximate list of them, more so his bugs than anything else.

in one of the episodes (i think its post grissom) nick and greg find a tarantula and greg is pleased to note that its an old friend "hey thats little stevie! he's been missing for years!" i wonder if stevie was ever mentioned by name or if any of gil's other bugs were?

bit of a random one i know, but i do so love gil and his managerie of insects (and Others)

hi, anon!

so here's the thing: despite knowing grissom is something of an animal lover, we actually learn very little about what pets he has over the course of the show. basically the only two named ones we ever hear about are, as you mention, hank the dog and stevie the tarantula.

and, for the record, stevie had never been mentioned prior to the events of episode 10x01 "family affair."

while we know that at any given time, he has a "menagerie" of insects otherwise, seldom are they identified by species, and never are they referred to by specific names.

that so, the best "census" of his animals i can offer is as follows:

of course, he has his irradiated fetal pig (occasionally referred to as "miss piggy," though it's unclear if that is her official name) from the beginning of the show.

he also, as mentioned, from s7 on, has hank (though it's unclear under what circumstances he got him and/or how he decided on the name).

then, in episode 01x22 "evaluation day," sara lists a litany of animals in his care, including a pet tarantula who may or may not be one and the same as "little stevie" (who, as stated, is never mentioned by name prior to s10) and a maggot farm. she also claims he has a komodo dragon on back order, but considering that they are an endangered species and also are not the type of animal that your average person can care for in their private home—they are about ten feet long, can weigh up to 200 lbs., can run up to 13 mph, feed on large game like water buffalo, and have a venomous bite that makes them dangerous to handle—she is probably either a) being facetious, or, b) confusing a komodo dragon with a monitor lizard. in either case, grissom doesn't seem to actually have either a dragon or a lizard in his possession at this time.

in episode 02x05 "scuba doobie-doo," he acquires a silphid beetle from the crime scene, which he refers to, in-episode, as "paul;" however, it is unclear both if he intends to keep the beetle in the long term as a pet and, if so, if paul is actually what he's named him.

in episode 02x10 "ellie," he owns about a dozen madagascar hissing cockroaches, which he intends to race at an entomology conference in duluth, mn. he mentions that his roaches' competitors have names (such as "cocky balboa" and "priscilla, queen of the gutters"), so it's probable that his roaches have names, too. however, if so, he never states what they are.

in episode 07x13 "redrum," he gifts sara the cocoon of an unknown moth or butterfly species, sent to her from walden pond. she elects to keep this cocoon in his office until it hatches. it is unknown a) what kind of insect is inside of the cocoon, b) what becomes of said insect after it hatches, and c) what, if anything, grissom and sara name it.

in csi: vegas episode 01x03 "under the skin," grissom states that hank was the best dog he ever had, which implies he has had other dogs in his life. however, it's uncertain when he had these dogs. it's possible he had childhood dogs and/or other dogs predating hank. it's also possible he had other dogs either concurrent to hank or after him from s9 onward, either with sara or without her. from the sounds of things, by the time the events of csi: vegas s1 are taking place, he and sara are (for the moment) dogless.

from s1-s9, grissom's office is filled with specimens of preserved lizards, amphibians, and fish in jars. however, we don't know if he also has any other living vertebrates as pets. if so, it might explain why sara is able to spend so much unsupervised time in his office during his s7 sabbatical without anyone on the team really batting an eye (as she could just use the ol' "i'm pet-sitting for grissom while he's away. somebody's got to feed his salamanders!" excuse). but certainly nothing is ever mentioned specifically.

to the best of my knowledge, those are the only pets of his we ever know about.

sorry i can't give you a more exact answer!

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.
