The Handler - she'll always live on in my heart <3
This will be debuting as a new fanart print tomorrow 11/8 (along with a couple other dinosaur goodies) at The Good Vibe Market: Jurassic Edition at Mess Hall Market in Tustin CA, and then later it will be up in my shop ^^
Okay folks, you know the drill from last time I did this. Rambles and notes I made while watching each episode. Spoilers below the cut!
Episode 1
I don’t have much to say here, I just enjoyed it (and forgot to write stuff down as I watched)
Episode 2
I wonder if Gia’s mother went to Kenji first bc she saw how disheveled he is (given his self destructive behavior last season)
Sammy’s passive aggression toward Yaz is umm… worrying me.
PYRORAPTOR FEATHER HECK YEAH
Smoothie my beloved OMGGGG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!
Episode 3
Someone with chess experience plz psychoanalyze that chess scene to see if it foreshadows anything (I may be going insane)
Yutyrannus mention. PLZ! It’s in Jurassic world alive, I love them!!!! PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE FRANCHISE OFFICIALLY
“Isn’t he magnificent?” “… Yeah??” DARIUS STOP PLAYING—
Soyona doing her dirty work in heels. What a diva.
I like how the explanation of the Amber Clave Market from dominion is explained via the catacombs. Like shipping them all directly to it would’ve been huge red flags. Makes me wonder what kinda dinosaurs are lurking around down there…
The parallel of Red being separated from her family and Brooklynn from hers… oof
KENJI WHY DID YOU NOT JUST TAKE THE POT WITH YOU?!
Episode 4
SAMMY CALLING YAZ “BABE” HOLY——-
Soyona has anger issues too… This woman both scares me and makes my crush on her grow even more.
THE REFERENCES TO DOMINION. Well duh it’s obvious and expected, but I kick my legs and scream every time.
Baby sleeping in the apples…
“I’m over one way relationships.” SAMMY NO NO NOOOOO DO NOT DO THIS TO ME RN
Pyro sounding like an elk is so freaking cool!!!! AHHHH *kicking my legs and screaming* I was so giddy when she came out of the darkness.
DAMN BROOKLYNN SMOKED THAT ARM WRESTLE OKAY QUEEN!!!!
Poor Pyro getting 3 V 1, not my Shaylaaaa. And the way they curled back into the vehicle STAHP 😭😭😭😭
Nonna being the parental figure Kenji needed at the end of the episode is everything to me!
Episode 5
Gia and Nonna scolding them in Italian 😭
Brooklynn jumpscare
Okay but seriously I hate the path Brooklynn is going down… I fear the Lythrosaurus thing is just the tip of the iceberg.
SAMMY AND YAZ’S FIGHT 😭😭 I legitimately am tearing up. These two mean the world to me, I’m not exaggerating. I don’t think this is the end of Yasammy, especially given how much both the crew and fandom love them. Some space apart can be good; relationships are never perfect. I hope they get through this and come back even stronger. We’re all rooting for them!
The Atrociraptors snuggling with the Handler… I can’t. Soyona PLEASE let them be happy!!! She cares so much for them and I relate a lot to that. “Terrifying creatures that could eat me but I still care for them.”
Episode 6:
Okay Brooklynn training the atrociraptors was kinda funny. The way they all peek their heads up the moment she’s filming 🤣
Yep. Knew it was the tip of the iceberg with Brooklynn. Like omg she was really about to kill Davi huh…?
Brooklynn why are you TRYING to piss Ghost off, she just wanted affection 😭. Hope that doesn’t come back to bite her… literally.
Is it bad I’m rooting for the handler to get her family (the atrociraptors) back?? PLZ REVEAL HER STORY SOON!!!!
Darius’s anger toward the way they’re treating the dinosaurs is so so so valid imo.
Episode 7
THE CAT EAR HAT FOR SMOOTHIE
KENJI RAP HELP—-
The Handler being like a fnaf jumpscare how the heck is she everywhere at once
Yes Kenji, the locusts are absolutely disgusting and I hate them too ☺️
Episode 8
Pyro diving under the snow is so cool tho!!! Clever girl…
HELL YEAH BROOKLYNN AND HANDLER TEAM UP
SOYONA IN HER DOMINION FIT, SHES SO FINEEEEE 😳. The amount of happy hand flaps I did during the parallel scene.
The car that drove by… Kayla and Claire ref???
Episode 9 + 10
So THATS how Soyona escaped??
MORE CERATOSAURUS YESSSS!!!! I grew very attached to them given the fact they were one of the starter Dino’s back in Jurassic World Evolution. So happy we see more of them and not just “gets killed by Scorpius Rex in the same season”
Blind Allo coming in clutch once more! We love to see it!!!!!
THE PUNCH TO THE STOMACH, GET HER HANDLER!!! (The toxic yuri is fighting again)
POCKET SAND
OKAY OKAY CAN I JUST TALK ABOUT THAT FACE OFF FOR A MINUTE!!!!!!! I could’ve sworn the handler was gonna get killed after Red attacked her. But the way she handled her and shut down the aggression with a few hits and diversion of the bites— She raised these animals, she grew used to calculating their movements and how to dissuade them. And her siblings coming in to back her up. Poor Red getting scolded by the Handler and her pack with little words. The Handler just leaning over to close Red’s jaws shut when she hissed at her. Ah, absolute chef’s kiss. My FAVORITE scene in this season, no doubt.
OKAY the Carnotaurus makes sense given how “duh Biosyn would have other trained dinosaurs.”
GHOST! THE HANDLER! NOOOO! Okay I’m not kidding, I legitimately started crying… a second time. I literally cannot deal with animal-human friendships. The way the Handler looked when Ghost was dying hit far too close to home for me. I’m gonna miss them both…
Okay, overall, phenomenal season. May ramble about it more in depth in a different post, but for now… I need to cope and do homework 🥺
