One of my favorite things about Heretic is that Mr. Reed, despite not being an atheist, does the classic Mid-2000s Edgelord Atheist thing of trying to make a point about Religion that is entirely orthogonal to why religious people practice their religion, so that when he’s done making his point with the Monopoly games and the records and everything, it doesn’t change either of the missionaries’ minds at all, instead Sister Paxton insincerely goes “oh no you’ve totally rocked my world! Now, Mr. Nice Scary Man will you please let me leave?” and Sister Barnes goes “your argument is facile and cliched, and it didn’t alter how either I or my partner feel about God or Mormonism, but we will continue to play along because we literally have to, I’d say do better but I don’t think you can.”

i really love the motif of windows in Backrooms. mary’s book being called “the window within”. the curtains in her office always being drawn. the shot of her behind glass in her own home during the gathering at her house. clark looking through the window into his own house. him being unable to see kat through the glass she can see him through. the window in mary’s mother’s house. the windows in the hospital her mother is brought to that only look out to another building. the drawing that mary finds of captain clark reaching someone up towards a window. the fale window in clark’s “home” in the backrooms that just looks out to more of the same empty space. the window in the interrogation room that’s too high to see out of (and thus to determine if it’s real). the fact that the backrooms lacks any windows to a true “outside space”, and how terrifying that makes it. there is no window within. or, at least, not one that any of them can find

i like how the blood of the "kids" is blue, and when it reacts to signal / tv frequencies - it looks like stars,

and how the blood of the "Mother" is golden, syrupy, and compared to the sun.

and then they really said when blue meets yellow... a miracle happens

but ofc it would have downsides too..

because... who wants to live forever?

+ small connection between transfusion/donating blood in ST.. "we could be heroes" etc etc

THE BOROUGHS (2026)

inthemoodforblastt

The Boroughs is also, intentionally or unintentionally, a commentary on the way elderly people are treated and respected. The fact that many older people in care homes are abused, constantly gaslit, or treated as little more than commodities to make money from is not fiction, it’s a very real social issue tied to the private elderly care industry in general. And so is the paternalism and condescension with which they’re treated, as if they were children instead of fully functional adults.

The Boroughs really emphasizes this point: they’re treated like oversized children when in reality they’re simply retired professionals who are still fully capable, and it’s precisely those skills and experiences that allow them to move the story forward. Judy is an experienced reporter, a Black woman who fought her way into a professional career in the 1970s and obviously isn’t going to sit quietly in the face of a mystery or an injustice. Sam is an aerospace engineer. Wally is a doctor with decades of experience. Renee spent her whole life as a manager and knows exactly how to deal with assholes.

These are skilled, intelligent professionals in their respective fields, and they don’t stop being those things just because they get older. If anything, they’ve spent an entire lifetime specialising and building that expertise. I think the series reflects this beautifully, and honestly I find it really important because, yes, your grandparents were people who raised entire families before you put them in a nursing home, and that’s something people should remember. They’re not idiots. They’re just old.

I LOVEE to see "old people" being chosen ones. YASSS that bitter old grandpa sick with grief is definitely going to save the world through the power of friendship and healing. I believe it.
