I see posts go by periodically about how modern audiences are impatient or unwilling to trust the creator. And I agree that that's true. What the posts almost never mention, though, is that this didn't happen in a vacuum. Audiences have had their patience and trust beaten out of them by the popular media of the past few decades.

J J Abrams is famous for making stories that raise questions he never figures out how to answer. He's also the guy with some weird story about a present he never opened and how that's better than presents you open--failing to see that there's a difference between choosing not to open a present and being forbidden from opening one.

You've got lengthy media franchises where installments undo character development or satisfying resolutions from previous installments. Worse, there are media franchises with "trilogies" that are weird slap fights between the makers of each installment.

You've got wildly popular TV shows that end so poorly and unsatisfyingly that no one speaks of them again.

On top of that, a lot of the media actively punishes people for engaging thoughtfully with it. Creators panic and change their stories if the audience properly reacts to foreshadowing. Emotional parts of storytelling are trampled by jokes. Shocking the audience has become the go to, rather than providing a solid story.

Of course audiences have gotten cynical and untrusting! Of course they're unwilling to form their own expectations of what's coming! Of course they make the worst assumptions based on what's in front of them! The media they've been consuming has trained them well.

TIM AND LUCY IN SEASON FIVE Episode One – Double Down

[olivertryst]

I have a theory that Aunt Lydia played matchmaker between Lawrence and Mrs. Putnam as part of a larger plan to have Jeanine posted there and reunited with her child.

I’m also wondering how much Aunt Lydia suspects about Lawrence regarding the lack of ceremony, handmaids escaping, etc.

She made a promise to God to do things differently if Jeanine survived… I’m not sure she knows what that looks like yet but her eyes are opening to Gilead and what it does to these women I think she is going to start trying to make a difference.

THE 100 ⇢ 2x06

Ok, tell me again. It’s a labyrinth. We got to the dam through this tunnel. It’s all connected to the mine system.

who would u say is the leader of the people now? i would say it’s bellamy 100%

No.

I would say it’s 50/50 Clarke and Bellamy. Remember, he told Russell that she could speak for them. Also, when his people were trying to convince him to do something, they did it by saying it’s what Clarke would do. She was separated from her people because the lightbournes bodysnatched her, but Bellamy, who was then the undisputed leader of their people, was still making leadership decisions based on Clarke. And when she came back, they were together in plans and coordinated in action.

It’s back the way it was developing before in s2-4. Bellamy is the domestic leader. He deals with the micro concerns of the people. And Clarke is the foreign leader. She deals macro view with the long term plans and with foreign leaders to make deals and find the right path for their people.

They are like the King and Queen in chess. He moves one step at a time, his people around him. And she moves in sweeping, powerful moves all the way across the chessboard. He’s the most important. She’s the most powerful.

This is the head and heart in action. They balance each other. He saves her, she saves their people. (although that switches sometimes.)

Sex is aight, but have you ever seen a Bellarke hug during a sunset, shown in two angles, with dialogue and a song.

[missing-my-griffin]

LOL for real though.. if I were Gabriel?? Bellamy would freak me out. Not in a good or bad way particularly, but just in general.

This dude reveals himself as one of the guards and straight up executes all of them, saving everyone’s life. Then barely speaks at all. Even during the love fest with Josie/Gabriel, he doesn’t scream at Gabe, he’s just this silent storm, focused on the girl on the table.

And then hard cut to him a puddle of tears, a crying screaming mess, angry and devoted and in so much pain???

I’d be like dude.. who is this guy?? This scary looking calculating and cold warrior who turned into some kind of greek type god of anguish in a nano second. I’m fucking SERIOUS he was all in control and then suddenly it dawned on him that Clarke might die and he snapped. goood this episode killed me
