I just finished watching halt and catch fire and it’s such a great show. I always knew cam and Donna would work together in the end but the third season was rough.

Friend, what a journey for you! The drug trip conversation... the phone call that was never made... "I picked up the phone so many times." The time wasted! Ah, HaCF played with my heart.

It was really rough watching Donna and Cameron be separated, knowing how much pain festered unresolved from the rupture of their relationship, but those final episodes of seeing them reconnect and rediscover the wavelength that made it work between them in the first place... "I made it for people like you"! if that ain't a love story, I don't know what is! "I have an idea." You sure do, Donna--and it's gonna keep Cam in your life because she wants to be part of it!

What a good series overall. I even begrudgingly became... okay... -ish... with... Joe. (Enjoy Lee Pace in any role, really, the man is good at his job, but he is "Admiral Eyebrows" forevermore.) I still think about 4x08's presentation of grief manifesting in the quiet of attending to necessary practical matters. Cam's speech to Donna that episode... yeah, that's the stuff.

I can be sad that we didn't get more Donna and Cameron because of drama keeping them apart but I can't deny the foundation the show provides is good stuff. Mistakes were made, mistakes were acknowledged, it was complicated, but I don't doubt that they love(d) each other (however one wishes to define it), that's why it hurt each so much when the professional betrayals happened--and it hurt me so good to watch.

I hope you enjoyed your watch as much as I enjoyed reminiscing just now, friend!

oh so when they do it, it's "divine justice" and "following the will of God", but when I do it, it's "breaking the law" and "murdering my father" 🙄🙄🙄🙄 alright ok

[natalieironside]

There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

It’s interesting to rewatch the Testaments after having heard the stepmom tell Agnes that Gilead wanted to send her piece to by piece to her birth mother.

In the first few episodes several of the adults have told her how lucky she is to be there and I thought it was like a “you should be grateful your father is a high commander” but on the second watch through the subtext is totally “you are so fucking lucky to be alive after what June did.”

becka grove is such a fascinating character to me. she's one of the sanest and most insane people in gilead.

she's self-aware of just how oppressed she is, and how oppressed all the girls around her are. and she seems to be the only one who is. no one but her really questions the deeply rooted misogyny in these forced marriages, so she's forced to carry that awareness not just for herself, but for everyone else. she's forced to feel the injustice for all of them because the other girls don't really question it. and is that not so lonely?

she's compassionate to her fellow girls who also don't have a choice. and she is so fucking angry at everyone who does. this is where her dislike for pearl girls stems from. they had freedom, the one thing becka has always yearned for, and they threw it away. they chose to sacrifice their freedom for what? to live in what becka would describe as a nightmare?

but the violence becka doesn't question. it's justice. of course that's not oppression. how could it be? you hurt someone, you go out of line, you pay the price. she's angry for herself, and she's angry for all the other girls who are punished without ever doing anything wrong, so seeing those who did something get what they deserve is cathartic to her. and when justice isn't served by anyone else, she will take things into her own hands. and she will serve it just as violently. it's self-righteousness in the most fucked up way possible. it's beautiful.
