uh oh watching xxi and im so fucking unwell…. NEED to kill the director of this episode because that sequence of flint breaking down in his cabin is SOOOO fucking good. how 3/4 of the scene is shot from behind flint so he’s left in shadow and the only time we see his face it’s only half of it… as if his grief and rage and pain is still something only he can see… and even at the end, when we are so close to seeing his full face, the camera slowly backs away and hides him from view with the table, as if warning us that this view into flint is not for us. we hover so close to the edge— we are right over his shoulder, we see his shaking hands, we see him slump, we hear him sob— but we are not allowed in. the cinematography really reinforces the message that no one, not flint’s crew, not silver, and not even us, the audience, gets to see the shattered man underneath, because that undoes it all. that breaks the illusion of the monster of the high seas. and that’s the last thing they can afford to do now.

The costume designer really went off script for the Regency silhouette this season and idk if I like it
Of course it's one thing to play with modern fabrics and embellishments, it's the fantasy of it, but the silhouette is what anchored the show in the fantasy regency era. From what we've seen so far, the waistlines are a lot lower on women's dresses, there are a lot of interesting things being done with sleeves and gloves, and the makeup is so heavy. It no longer feels like they are playing with the silhouette, they've changed it completely and it might be too much?

The last words of 404 when laszlo says “it gets very heavy from here on in” is something that can actually be so foreboding

Tbh I don’t really have a lot of faith Eddie will be in the next season of ST, with how much JQ has blown up since. Maybe if the writers/actors strike hadn’t happened and everything had been filmed, maybe. I was convinced he’d make a return but now idk :/ I’m still HOPING though but hey schedule is so packed

At the end of this show they really said this show is about love, it’s about the sacrifices we make for other people, from strangers to people that redefined our lives by being in them, it’s about love pulling you out of misery, it’s about companionship and community and platonic and romantic and familial love and what it means to be a person and about how maybe house can’t be fixed but how maybe he can change

More positive Jaskier things, the way he's just so gentle and caring with everyone who needs it. Like, all his moments with Geralt hurt were so sweet. 🥺🥺🥺 And Radovid. Like, I'm not thrilled with how they wrote their instant love (you'd think they were destined by Djinn love too) but they're cute together, and I wanna see them run away together. ❤️ After the war, that is.
Honestly??? Like, everyone who died.... kinda deserved it on some level. Like, they're all assholes. lmao. I was still sad for Yennefer tho, losing her mother. 😭 And daughter, and husband, like??? Yen always going through the horrors up in here. Ciri too. 😭 Poor Ciri, hope she gets to kill everyone she wants to.
Fringilla x Francesca!!! LIKE, COME ON! They should be together! I legit kept forgetting that Filivandral was her husband???? Pfff! And you can't tell me Francesca wasn't using Fringilla either back when her baby was killed. I feel for Fringilla. 😭
I literally can't wait for Radovid to go apeshit and become Radovid the Stern. I support Radovid's rights and wrongs. High key, can't wait for Phillipa to suffer cause she deserves a reckoning, but also doesn't mean I hate her, I love her actually. Honestly I support everyone but also want them to suffer. lmao
Jaskier's song in Brokolin! Wish I knew what everyone was saying. lmao. (I did not watch this on netflix) The way Jaskier knew that language too. And his conversation with Dara, the way Dara sought him out! Because Jaskier is still a figure of peace to him. ❤️❤️❤️
