i got no thoughts, actually. the lone man tear was kinda sad. i like the imagery but i can tell i’m missing a ton of religious references cause i’m not christian and i grew up in a majority muslim and a bit of hindu country so i don’t actually know anything about christian religious acts or the bible aside from, you know, stories, so like, i know the Reverend smoothing his thumb over David’s forehead means something other than weird romantic subtext but i don’t know what. i’m guessing it’s not baptism? how the fuck would i know. so yeah, i’m not just missing religious references, i’m also missing cultural references that you just recognize from growing up surrounded by christianity. missing references is annoying me, honestly. i don’t like missing things.
that aside, i’m not loving it so far. i mean, David’s much cooler than i expected him to be (i.e. not like Steve Rogers) and Michelle isn’t bad so far even though i wish she’d have a bigger role and the mom seems nice and of course Seb Stan + uniforms + tears = adsjikalfdswourdjsjcn, but the show’s kinda slow? i liked Political Animals much better. i just wanna skip the next 11 episodes and head into fanfiction tbh; i get the feeling the fanfics are much more interesting.
