I think I might be on my way to shipping Robby and Al-Hashimi? Idk, we'll see.
Feels kind of odd. I haven't been properly invested in a straight ship for years
Hm. Might change my mind. Maybe Al-Hashimi and Dana.

Ah, great. My favorite isn't in this season, and my favorite patient just died.
I finally gave in and started watching The Pitt. I'm on episode 8, and I want the universe to give Dr.Collins a break.
I love her. Don't do this to her
I'm struggling so very hard with everyone's names by the way. I am weak, and can only remember 3 names at the same time

Wait... Erica. She plays DnD. She didn't get to be in the final DnD game? :(
I think my most unreasonable annoyance with the finale of Stranger Things is how Jonathan and Nancy were acting. It kind of feels like they were implied to still be interested in one another, and I think my unreasonable annoyance with it stems from a larger issue I have with the show, and I think that's just got to do with finality.
None of the on-screen couples that broke up on screen ever felt like the end of their relationship was actually the end of it. Lucas and Max? They broke up several times and still ended up together (I do actually love them, but they're part of this issue for me).
Nancy and Steve seeming to have some romantic tension left after their breakup. Mike and El who took me by surprise by still being together in season 5 even with them breaking up once, with a possible final breakup happening after season 4.
The only characters who stayed broken up were Joyce and Lonnie.
And this bleeds into the same issue existing with deaths. Characters being implied to have died (El, Hopper, Brenner, Vecna, Hopper again, and then El again(maybe)). There's this incredible commitment to not committing.
And with all of these couples getting together and breaking up and all of that, it feels even more glaring that Will got the Shiro treatment and never got to end up with anyone within the non-epilogue part of the story. Had it been that he was genuinely uninterested in romance, like he said back in season,,, 1 or 2, I don't remember, that would have been fine, good even, but it's very clearly shown in season 4 that this was not actually the case. That boy wants to find love as much as the rest of the party, and he's not allowed to apart from Mike's DnD narration. Speaking of DnD and the party. I do also find it kind of funny in a way that Will turned out to be the only confirmed gay character in that friend group. They're all bullied, except for Max, and they're all nerds or geeks, except for El. They're a small, tight-knit friend group, who at the end of the day all play make-believe in Mike's basement, and I'm supposed to believe that Will is the only LGBT+ character in that group? I think that might be one of the least realistic parts of the show aside from monsters and sneaking into military bases with little to no issue.
When it comes to Mike's DnD narration, I personally believe that was his way of imagining his friend's happily ever afters and El still being alive. I don't think Kali would have lived long enough to keep up the illusion of El being alive. And I hate this ending for El.
This show was said to be one for lifting up the outcasts. El is the character that holds most of the traits for one. She's an anomaly. She struggles to communicate. She's bullied. She's mistreated by everyone around her, including her father, her friends, and her boyfriend. And her story accumulates in her killing herself, as is the fate of many outcasts. I don't love that message, I must say. Out of all of the characters in the show, she was most deserving of a happy ending, and I'm pretty tired of the suicide mission plots in shows, especially when they're not thematically appropriate.
If she had to have an ending away from her friends in Hawkins, it could have been her and Kali moving away and learning who they are as people outside of constantly being in life or death situations. Of actually getting to come to terms with and moving past their trauma, supporting each other along the way. I hope someone writes that fix it fic.
Anyway, I didn't actually hate the ending. It met my expectations, and my expectations were not high, but I don't think it's the worst finale I've ever seen. Certainly not the best either, but I don't hate it, I just kind of dislike it. Also, I'm a Jopper hater. With the amount of fake out deaths they could have brought back Bob and had him and Joyce end up together, but she's apparently destined for violent, angry men, who didn't mature much past their teens.
Happy new year btw!
It's so late atm, and none of my friends are awake, and I need to talk about Stranger Things.
I wanted Max and El to hug when Max came back. There was no hug. Will got to hug Max. I get that they're probably much better friends than the series has showed us, but I can't even remember Will and Max talking to each other one on one. Have they ever?
Incredibly sweet hug, btw. I love that Max isn't homophobic and all, but I wanted her to also get to hug El. Will saved her life, but so did El. Please. Max has to be El's best friend, right? That's not something I'm just making up, I hope. But no hug. After El knowing she's been in a coma for 18 months.
Hoping for a hug in the finale. Please let them hug. They're my babies.
I finally finished Star Trek TOS. It took a very long time (multiple years), and I'm happy that I can move on to other shows in the franchise. I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts before I forget them, but they might note make that much sense, since I watched some of the show years ago, and some episodes were watched over several days.
It was almost odd to see a show I knew was this old portray some themes in ways that I'd expect modern television to do, while other themes and topics remained so jarringly marked by its time period.
I think the last episode of season 3 is a good example. It's probably the most blatantly sexist episode in the entire show, but there's an underlying current of sexism throughout. Almost every single woman on the show is a love interest in one way or another, and a large amount of their stories revolve around treating their problems with romantic love as the solution. Kirk is involved in a majority of these plot lines, and several of these women both look and act significantly younger than him. I think Edith might be the only love interest I actually liked with him. She felt like an entire person, at least.
I generally had a much better time with seasons 1 and 2 than I had with season 3, but there were things I enjoyed all through the show. I love how silly all of the fight scenes are. I liked many side characters, and missed many of them in the episodes following their debut. The costuming is either consistently wonderful or consistently hilarious. When it comes to the crew, Uhura, Spock, and Sulu were almost always wonderful to see on screen.
Generally speaking, I really like the show, save for season 3, and the recycled romance plot lines showing up in almost every other episode.
Naw dawg, literally the amount of times that someone is unable to give actual consent and is put in a romantic/sexual situation and it's framed as romantic makes me need to pause the show every few days.
They're like "wow, Spock CAN love..." and you had to show him doing that when was under the influence of something? Then the show tries to gaslight me into believing he actually loved it because at least it was with a beautiful lady.
TOS you have a special place in my heart but some of these scenes make the show insufferable and uncomfortable to watch.
(side note; half the women that Kirk has romances with really are the "born sexy yesterday" where they have no idea what they're doing and need a strong practiced man to show their virgin baby minds how to Woman™️)
Yes, and it has been some of my biggest pet-peeves while watching the show. I'll try to write down what my overall thoughts are once I actually finish watching it, but I also have a major issue with how a lot of the conflicts are resolved by showing mostly characters that are women that love is the solution to their problem, or that introducing them to love gets the crew out of a pinch.
Is that what they're calling it now?
McCoy using what he thinks are his last words to make fun of Spock feels right
What a diva. May he get over his Vulcanphobia one day.
Ok, so I see that I've gotten some new followers from my most recent posts, and Hello!! I hope you're well!
A little warning: I will probably not post about TOS after I'm done watching it. Have fun while I'm still at it, though!
Excuse my happiness, but YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I'll see him again, because that's been the way of TOS for the most part, but I think he is lovely. Probably one of my favorite TOS side characters so far. I hope he has an amazing time aboard The Enterprise
Michael Dunn was an awesome actor. And also a wonderful singer.
He portrayed Dr. Loveless in the 60's TV series, "The Wild Wild West," a nemesis to the good guys, James West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin), in 10 episodes.
Mr. Dunn was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1966 for the movie, "Ships of Fools."
Well, well, well. Looks like I have something I need to add to my Watch Later list
