Remember when they revived Buffy but didn’t dig her up first and she had to claw her way to the surface. Rookie mistake

the decameron is soooo fucking funny tindaro being a sub incel and obsessed with rome is so on the nose. zosia mamet nails her character and so does lou gala (neifile) honestly the whole cast embodies the tone so well . there is the usual post 2018 race-blind casting and performative queer side romances and im sure it is nothing like the source material but this is what art is for. I liked the attitude about death but I wonder if it was too blase for a western audience I like how luciscas head dresses become more elaborate and large as they story goes on. the costumes are pretty good in but would have been better if it had movie budget.

No one in my life will ever understand what I mean when I say that I want to see the kind of platonic ships that are as strong and powerful as romantic ships, like Neifile and Panfilo, because fucking no one in my life has watched the Decameron dammit

2010 Sherlock Commentary Cultural Analysis

bbc sherlock rewatch. season four spoilers.

overall

Moffat and Gatiss's depiction of terrorism is always racialized and its kind of crazy watching back.. like second episode they immediately do orientalism, and all of the villians are middle eastern. Ive also been noticing british imperialism way more, but if you can watch past that its indulgent and nostalgic for me.

the abominable bride holds up tho, the costumes and sherlocks styling was soo good a little heavy handed but sooo camp. and it does move the plot along and sherlock kind of tripping in and out was filmed so well. the graveyard scene is so intense, i feel sherlocks mania when hes digging. and the waterfall scene is lowkey johnlock canon. but also whatever is going on with Moriarty and sherlock.

season 4

Watching season 4 back as an adult is like yeah this show fell off. the mary plotline is too convoluted and frankly, not cannon at all. making mary an agent assasin was a bbc sherlock invention--in the stories she was a client and her rich colonizer father went missing, but then she lost her fortune and her and john could date.

in the show, the writers use mary and euros for the plot- marys death ties johns emotional journey with these women: john was sort of cheating with mary's death initiate is it a statement about how men use women- emotionally in a romantic way (john cheating) and in (euros as johns therapist).

4.1

watching the mary death scene is so embarrassing to watch knowing they were married, s cheesy. I wonder if they regret the casting now. plot wise the firts episode is kind of good with the twist w the receptionist and the john drama is soooo good. the scene of john text-cheating with his crying baby in the back... but i think making john a widower is kind of filler.. and the mary ghost story line is whaterverrr.

4.2

the second episode's plot is kind of crazy and it is only to really set up off euros, but watching how they disguised her with accents and lighting is clever.

finding out theres an audio with my two favorite side characters together??? god might be real actually.

also they're stuck together with a psychic bond ❤️

girl in the fireplace

right after the sarah jane episode and when rose realizes the doctor will leave her too and mickey cockblocks the whole thing.. ten has rebound sex with madame pompadour. kind of epic of him

doctor who season 2 episode 3 School Reunion

as far as the season arc I think this episode is important to tenrose because rose sees who she'll end up as and what he treats people like and his excuse "i cant watch the people i love die so i dump them in aberdeen and move on and never take accountability"... so it was ultimately never gonna work out... but then of course its sarah janes acceptance of finality is how she convinces the doctor to destroy the evil teacher in the end. and he gets to run away again, again, again..

#watched through an adult perspective w the metaphor for uh.. school ritual S/A.. way less of a light episode #and yeah the tin dog mickey critique is valid and the episode is generally verryyyy early 2000's #and rose chips fatphobia comment #tenrose #doctor who #david tennant #tenth doctor #rose tyler

christopher eccleston do you know that i would die for you (1 2)

#christopher eccleston #love this for them

the shakespear episode was lowkey queer af cold open is horny mideaval guy who thinks hes gonna get laid but one of them turns out to be a witch with two moms!

#doctor who #martha jones #david tennant #rtd era

the ten/martha plotline was lowkey sabotage looking back which fucking sucks because shes so hot intelligent, brave, and kind. and ten and martha lowkey would have been better she challenged him more, was more of an equal (and maybe thats why people didnt like her. besides the obvious racism).

#rtd era #doctor who #tenth doctor #david tennant #martha jones

the greatest tragedy of moffat era doctor who was river song. was handed such a great character and talented actress, but meant to match tennant's doctor, not matt smiths (which is why eleven x river, while the actors did their best, always seemed so halfhearted to me). I think the part about her being rory and amy's child was overly complicated and didnt really add anything and while she had cool lore, she kind of got manic pixie dream girled, and was written in and out of the show when convenient. part of this is just because of the nature of the show, but she just deserved better

#in fact amy getting pregnant is a plot point in several instances throughout her seasons. that was never a plot point in rtd's seasons #i wonder if this was a cultural shift in what was compelling to viewers #or if this as a plot point was now morally permissible bc amy and rory were a couple #or if this plot point it specific to the showrunners #rtd is gay and queer reproduction is different.. like materially and in theory #doctor who #river song #rtd era #anti moffat #tagging as anti moffat because people get sensitive #u r allowed to critique things u like

doctor who season 4 turn right lets talk about it

despite its frankly baffling orientalism in the beginning of the episode, i think ive always been drawn to rtd's depiction of the end of the world with the militarization of the state after economic and social collapse and the subsequent expulsion of immigrants... it validated a very anxious part of my childhood fears and ultimately was a hopeful narrative- the ordinary, "useless" individual really was the sacrificial savior that put the world right. the part where parallel world donna is about to go back in time "this whole world will blink out of existence and a better world will take its place" is a very hopeful way of coping with endings. But then the critical theory me thinks that this episode ultimately upholds the idea that change happens individually as opposed to collectively.. which isnt surprising given the shows' general pro imperialist themes. looking back, I think the writers do a careful (or cowardly) job of depicting the violence of the military without laying blame on the nation that.. well.. u gotta admire. (watching doctor who but shaking my head the whole time to show that i oppose british imperialist propaganda) its almost unimaginable compared to rtd's newer episodes tho

but in terms of like plot wise and apart ofthe season, pretty good episode. i like how we see rose become the doctor having to charm and sacrifice the dream world donna (lending to ecclestons claim that rose could have been (and kinda was) the doctor...).

also i want donnas beetle as a backpack.

#this is literally whatever im high and theres not enough doctor who discoruse #doctor who #david tennant #rtd era #tenth doctor #probably because everyone is 15

the dalek episode in season one is so erotically coded, perhaps because its a british take on american television- melodramatic and hyper sexual. the doctor and van stattons face off with how delicate they can be stroking a kind of vulvic alien instrument, the doctors' monologue to the dalek, the obligatory rose and adam b plot/bait, shirtless doctor (but much more than that, a pervase invasion of privacy), rose's moment with the dalek when the doctor and the dalek are the same, both in the immediate sense - "they torture me but still they fear me" - but also in a symbolic sense- the dalek revealing he would die "glad knowing [he] met a human who was not afraid"... perhaps as a method of manipulation, but it is this touch that would save her in the end. and of course the "the woman you love" line which laid the explicit foundations of ninerose. in a way this episode could only be written within the style and context of the melodramatic american drama.

Christopher Eccleston as Ninth Doctor Doctor Who Season 1 | 26 March – 18 June 2005

riversongssonicstrap

rose thinks nine can sense when it's gonna rain/snow because of some kinda time lord abilities. the real reason is that the pressure/temperature drop makes his bones go into Ouch Mode but he won't admit it
