The Six of the Lab
Summary:
On the 12th hour of the first day of October 2002, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that no one of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Unbeknownst to the public, acclaimed scientist Dr Martin Brenner resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. He managed to get 5.
i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

you guys know i usually compensate all the racism and misogyny towards samira by being overly supportive of her every fiber, but i do wanna say that i find her flaws very delicious.
like come on. she lacks trust towards her colleagues because her dad died from medical neglect and racism, and now she is overly cautious and does her best to prevent any mistakes even if that goal is futile and impossible. she wants to be the perfect doctor and has an HR manual in her head but also can't help it when her feelings take control when she has to treat cases that she feels specifically emotionally connected to. she's kind to students and encourages them to believe in themselves, but when they make a misstep she's quick to correct them, even if that can be blunt. she has the best patient satisfaction scores, but if her plan isn't taken seriously she defends herself and can stay rigid in her standpoint. she's data driven and detail oriented and has a hard time accepting non conventional ways to treat patients outside of protocol. if she relates to a patient she goes above and beyond, but can't distance herself from them when something out of her control happens. she's dedicated and driven, working till she drops, but her lack of social life and friends has caused her to be closed off and refuse to accept any help. she has a full future plan worked out in great detail but has a literal panic attack when it blows up in her face and she realises she doens't have a plan b. she wants to do everything she can to help people, but her own vision can get in the way. she can admit her mistakes, but they make her spiral so much that she immediately thinks she doesn't deserve her place in the ED.
god, how can you not love this complicated, empathetic, kind, overthinking, tunnel-visioned, and control freakerish woman?? yeah, a lot of forces work against her, but samira is her own obstacle sometimes and that's what is so interesting and compelling about her. i love my failgirl and i will miss her deeply next season. bring her back i need her to be a control freak for nine more seasons. two wasn't enough

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE
*Spoilers* - The Devil Wears Prada 2 -
Miranda saying « I love working, don’t you ? » with a giddiness you’ve never seen her display before, and then, two minutes later, telling Andy she should write that book about her because « people need to know what it costs » (time spent with your children) with tears in her eyes…
This, to me, is such a good representation of career-driven women who also want a family.
Bonus points to Kenneth Branagh’s character, he was so sweet.
i love dwp1 so fucking much, but at its very core that movie says: you have to choose, and there's only one right choice. andy's friends are assholes, nate is a bastard, and andy is the one who framed as wrong for choosing her very good job that is a legitimately good entry into the industry she wants to work in. miranda's divorce, while inadvertently making miranda more interesting than the movie ever intended, is a narrative device to show andy that if she keeps this up, she will end up alone. what's crazy about all that is that, at the same time, the movie tries to argue that the choice to be made isn't whether or not to be a good person, but whether or not to be in a situation that makes you a bad person. this is insane, btw. but andy at the end is like, i don't want to be like you therefore i must not be here. the abdication of personal responsibility for your actions is, actually, wild.
so you could have knocked me over with a fucking feather by the time i walked out of dwp2. because i never in one hundred trillion years expected them to come back 20 years later and recognise that actually, andy made all those choices, they didn't happen to her, and yes, actually, she's that selfish bitch (huge fucking compliment). she didn't get married, she didn't have kids, she's flounced in and out of lily's life for 15 years, and the moment someone threw her a piece of driftwood to cling to, she leapt on board. even at the last moment, she still couldn't quite bring herself to not look down on the genuine potential runway offered her, but hell, she'll settle for it.
that car scene made me insane. miranda calling her out again, and andy finally agreeing, and more than that, going all on this arrangement that neither of them actually wants, exactly, but could be mutually beneficial to them both? i practically moaned.
that compromise was both the theme and the hero of this film blows my mind. miranda, who will do anything for advertisers, who will sit her assistant next to her and have her call out all the politically incorrect things she cannot say anymore, who hangs up her own coat, but is still, fundamentally the same person she was 20 years ago: she loves her job, and will do anything to keep doing it. and that is, from start to finish, who andy always was.
and instead of judging them this time, dwp2 says: yes, there are choices to make, and there are always costs whichever way you choose. but there's no wrong choice this time. just find a way to do what you love and you'll be fine.
(and if you can, along the way, make it up to the people you hurt as you do. because there will always be people you hurt, but actually there isn't some natural order of punishment that goes with that. guys, that emily wanted to be friends all that time? i cried. the nigel resolution? bawled.)
could you imagine if it happened this pride month
I can't believe I forgot about one of my favorite interactions from season 1 until my rewatch:
robby: when did those cops get here? donnie: I don't know robby: who called them? donnie: I don't know robby: where's dana? donnie: again, I don't know robby: thank you donnie: any time 👍
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

Mammu! Finius and Ferbingetorix built Rome in a day!
I feel like this also implies that rome is somehow being destroyed by the end of the day
The Emperor Constantine loves Finius and Ferbingetorix's "New Rome" so much that he makes it his new capital and names it after himself.
Yeah that checks out.
What's the doofenschmirtz contraption/scheme of the day?
Doofenric the Ostrogoth (insert jokes about his daughter Vanessa being "Goth" but in the modern sense) invented a City-Mover-Inator to move Rome across the Danube so his Germanic confederation could sack it.
Thankfully, Agent Pericles stops him by redirecting the Inator to Finius and Ferbingetorix's New Rome instead, moving it to the Bosphorus.
While Pericles and Doofenric are fighting over the controls of the Inator, it gets accidentally changed to paint remover mode and then fired at a random direction.
Somewhere nearby a painter just finished coloring the statue of the emperor when suddenly all the paint gets removed.
Painter: Aw...
Painter, giving it a second look: Hmmm... 🤔
Candysseia: What animal even is Pericles?
Finius: We named it "platypus", meaning flat-foot.
Ferbingetorix: On account of his feet being flat.
Candysseia: And where did he come from?
Febingetorix: We have no earthly idea.
Doofenric the Goth: Pericles the- wait, what animal even are you, Agent Pericles?
Pericles: *hands him papyrus*
Doofenric: *reading* A "platypus", meaning flat-foot... oh, on account of your feet being flat!
To be clear, the Emperor Constantine looks like Roger Doofenshmirtz.
Also, I agree with everybody who says that Greco-Roman Candace's name should be Candassandra (since nobody believes her warnings).
