Another thing I love about that scene is that part where Poirot just. Doesn't say a word and just. USES HIS EYES TO GET WHAT HE WANTS

Pretty PLEASE won't you let me inspect that dead woman's apartment just a little TINY bit more Chief Inspector Japp?? No?? Well. What if I...

AND JAPP IS JUST LIKE UGH FINE IF YOU QUIT DOING THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT I DON'T CARE I'M LEAVING

AND THEN BOTH POIROT AND HASTINGS SMILE A PRIVATE LITTLE SMILE ABOUT IT??

Lads. I love this SHOW.

I love what they're doing with thjazi so much. he was a hero and a rebel and he fought for what he believed was right but he was also an asshole and not above using people if it served him and if he didn't see them as living beings. he was a father figure for azune but he put azune in a position useful for him even if it was harmful and outright dangerous for azune. he sheltered hal and still put a giant target on his back with one of his last actions while he was still alive. he's not even just haunting the narrative at this point, he is still driving it from beyond the grave and I think that's beautiful and interesting and I want more of it always

“They asked me to tell you what it was like to be twenty and pregnant in 1950 and when you tell your boyfriend you’re pregnant, he tells you about a friend of his in the army whose girl told him she was pregnant, so he got all his buddies to come and say, “We all fucked her, so who knows who the father is?” And he laughs at the good joke…. What was it like, if you were planning to go to graduate school and get a degree and earn a living so you could support yourself and do the work you loved—what it was like to be a senior at Radcliffe and pregnant and if you bore this child, this child which the law demanded you bear and would then call “unlawful,” “illegitimate,” this child whose father denied it … What was it like? […] It’s like this: if I had dropped out of college, thrown away my education, depended on my parents … if I had done all that, which is what the anti-abortion people want me to have done, I would have borne a child for them, … the authorities, the theorists, the fundamentalists; I would have born a child for them, their child. But I would not have born my own first child, or second child, or third child. My children. The life of that fetus would have prevented, would have aborted, three other fetuses … the three wanted children, the three I had with my husband—whom, if I had not aborted the unwanted one, I would never have met … I would have been an “unwed mother” of a three-year-old in California, without work, with half an education, living off her parents…. But it is the children I have to come back to, my children Elisabeth, Caroline, Theodore, my joy, my pride, my loves. If I had not broken the law and aborted that life nobody wanted, they would have been aborted by a cruel, bigoted, and senseless law. They would never have been born. This thought I cannot bear. What was it like, in the Dark Ages when abortion was a crime, for the girl whose dad couldn’t borrow cash, as my dad could? What was it like for the girl who couldn’t even tell her dad, because he would go crazy with shame and rage? Who couldn’t tell her mother? Who had to go alone to that filthy room and put herself body and soul into the hands of a professional criminal? – because that is what every doctor who did an abortion was, whether he was an extortionist or an idealist. You know what it was like for her. You know and I know; that is why we are here. We are not going back to the Dark Ages. We are not going to let anybody in this country have that kind of power over any girl or woman. There are great powers, outside the government and in it, trying to legislate the return of darkness. We are not great powers. But we are the light. Nobody can put us out. May all of you shine very bright and steady, today and always.”

Political pet peeve but nothing being done is a "distraction" from anything else. Everything that the current administration is doing is an extension of American imperialism and conservative American values. Iran is not being bombed to "distract from the Epstein files", trans legislation is not being passed to "distract from Palestine", none of this is happening just to "distract" you. And dismissing certain issues as "distractions" is a horrific excuse of them.

It is, however, happening all at once to overwhelm you. And there is a HUGE difference.

Trying to math out being able to see two of my favorite bands in concert in the same evening and I THINK I can do it, even if I miss a few songs and the openers of the other concert
