“the quality of a show cannot always be judged by audience reaction.”

??? what 🤨 that's exactly what it's judged by. why else are you making the show, then? I'm sure you all worked hard, and I applaud you — that does not make what you created good. it's like saying the quality of a beer can't be judged by those who drink it. it does not matter how much effort you put into it, if the end product isn't good, it JUST ISN'T GOOD.

a Carolyn spin-off in the works when they dedicated an entire episode and so much of s4 to her and the twelve, the big baddies that they spent years twiddling their thumbs over before truly delving into that plot in the FINAL SEASON when the two actual leads themselves are never coming back

**SCREENER SPOILERS**

screeners for episodes 7 and 8 are out and streets are saying they didn't like it and that it felt "way too rushed?" but there are also "hall of Fame moments" and that the episodes, especially the finale, will spark a lot of conversation.

and that's nice and all but like DO they confess their love and get it on or not? if they wanted me to care about The 12 maybe they shouldn't have waited until the LAST SEASON to get into it (yuh)?? I was so invested in it that plot from the get, but they took so damn long that now all my monkey brain wants is villaneve going heels-to-jesus without a single cutaway for an entire fifteen minutes, so.

took me a bit, but I realized what this reminded me of: a duel

a popular trope exists in media called "Ten Paces and a Turn," wherein two characters stand back to back, walk forward an equal amount of steps, and see who can turn around the fastest, with the goal being to shoot first (or stab first, as swords are also used.) it is typically a fight to the death, with the winner as the one left standing.

if this scene took place last season, where they were emotionally would've had them both wielding guns. they would've both been armed and angry, challenging each other to right a wrong.

instead, a pose often ending in violence and death becomes a symbol of romance and longing, made even more profound when considering it involves two characters surrounded by both violence and death.

I hope this was on purpose, as I think it's a beautifully symbolic way to mark the fading turbulence and animosity between them.
