60 Years From Now

Me: *on my deathbed* It's Time. Gather 'round children, I have something to say.

Family: *sniffling, visibly upset* Of course, Mom. What is it?

Me: *whispers* Closer.

Family: *all lean in, somebody sobs, my favorite grandchild grabs my hand, feels my fading pulse* What is it? Say it, Mama.

Me: *gathers my last breath* Beth Greene did not deserve to have a nonsensical, infuriatingly pointless death in the MSF. Like, WTF. The build-up and delivery were literally the cruelest moments in television history and every writer associated with it should be ashamed of their ball-less, predictable dredge. Beth Greene was too good for this world. Her death was Dixon angst fodder. Also Bethyl was canon and I love it more than oxygen. Bury me in a captain's hat, I've fucking gone down with this ship.

Me: *dies*

There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.

Can you please draw Hershel and Beth reunited? I think that would help me after tonight's emotional episode

Me: *Takes favorite characters away from writers.*

Me: You can have them back when you learn how to treat them better.

During the hour I spent crying in her office today, my psychiatrist said some stuff that actually makes a lot of sense.

I’ve seen a lot of people expressing how stupid they feel for feeling this strongly. I personally spent all of today praying I wouldn’t run into...

[maegwen-blog]

Yes, exactly.

Carol and Beth: The Missing Conversation

No one deserves to die. You don't always get closure. You aren't guaranteed *that* moment. Beth, Daryl, and Maggie got screwed. Maybe that's just how it goes. We hate it. We sob and sob. But... it does happen. But here's the thing:

Carol. Carol woke up. Carol woke up in the hospital. Carol woke up in the hospital and was with Beth. At the least, what we could have, should have had: A conversation. Carol telling Beth that Daryl is alive. Carol telling Beth her sister is alive. Carol telling Beth that nearly everyone is alive. How much they missed her. How much Daryl misses her. How much he wants to find her. That he seems different. That he's a man. That she was with Daryl, looking for her That he's still looking for her. That he'll be here. Soon. Carve 30 seconds out of every yawn-some droning on-and-on with a cop and there you have it. Time for a conversation that must have, in some form, taken place. Some kind of closure for us, that, really, would have made Beth's death moving in a completely different, and maybe better way. Maybe?

Something that could explain Beth's motivation in striking at Dawn. She was settled in her mind that everyone was alive, that Daryl will make it. Last man standing. That actually would have increased our awareness of Daryl's man pain, since Scott Gimple seems to love basting Daryl in misery. I find myself hoping we'll get it in flashbacks, that it will be part of the survivor's guilt Carol goes through. That maybe she tells Daryl what she and Beth talked about. Tell Maggie, tell everyone. Tell someone. Even if, I don't know if I can take it after the fact. And I know better to expect it. Because this is The Walking Dead. And damn them, they like to fuck with your head.

Q: You do know the fans would riot if you ever went the way of the dead?

[maegwen-blog]

This is awesome. Yes, knock on all the wood, Norman.

I follow the right amount of people where I see no actual drama on my dash but I see everyone talking about it

Bethyl-related quote masterpost update.

As always, all quotes from Norman, Emily, Gale Anne and Greg Nicotero during SDCC ‘14 regarding Daryl and Beth have been added to the masterpost with links to their original sources. If there is anything missing please do let me know. The idea of this post is for people to have every single quote with their source in one place so they don’t have to go back through the tag in order to find one specific thing, as well as providing approximate dates to all quotes because y’all know how people like to come up with quotes from before the season even started to “debunk” things. 

I am aware of one or two interviews done today that are no available to listen to yet, but if anything is said in those you can count on the post being updated as soon as possible.

Really, I haven't anything clever to add. I'm too busy looking at the smile.

The best regeneration sequence a Doctor's ever had was Nine's. Nine may have a shorter run than most Doctors out there, but they gave him one hell of an exit. Although for me, I still refuse to watch it because it's far too heartbreaking to handle.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nine’s regeneration sequence. See I give RTD shit, and I think Ten’s was awful, but Nine was amazing. Because AGAIN, it was not about him not being the same man, it was about changing without that tinge of “hate the next guy” that Ten’s had and I hated so much. 

[maegwen-blog]

Nine is forever and ever my Doctor, even though I loved Tennant.
