3x09 liveblog (the nostalgia! the whores! the cinematography! Were the twists too obvious or do I simply deserve a good grade in mystery television viewing?):

Mabel’s white room is a lot odder then Charles’ white room.

TRIPLETS.

Yeah, no, I agree. They’re really breezing past that heart attack.

(Although I do sort of appreciate the gray space they left; good for fics.)

They’re back 🥲

And now it’s the trio standing on the edge of the roof in the intro.

The mystery of the wedding dress!

I just need a moment to process Charles’ comment about Joy's childhood dog.

This scene of them on the couch questioning Dickie is so nostalgic.

Ben’s five weed smoking girlfriends.

I love Ben’s whores.❤️

I really like the style of this whole timeline scene.

See, yeah, that does make his behavior in the moment more sympathetic. But at the same time, you reap what you sew, dude, which you should know, being a sewist. He was just generally a dick, and so far his only redeeming quality is that he was suffering, as apposed to, say, Bunny who really cared about the Arconia and it's residents, or Tim who’d been working for years to bring down the Dimases. Hankies just don't hit the same for me.

Oh, and it makes sense now that the dress had to look like it was made in the 50s, because it was Joy’s mother’s dress.

“I still have no place to live.” Well, you could just stay right where you’re at, Mabel.

Awwww.

The producers… saw that one coming. (It could still turn out not to be, but) my question is, was it just the producers or were there additional killer(s)? I think there's at least one more killer. (We still don't know what Tobert's probably hiding, and it would be unsatisfying for them to frame him as suspicious only for it to be literally nothing.)

It took them six episodes to figure out what so many people guessed immediately.

Paul Rudd genuinely giving the performance of his life with that cookie.

This feels the same (similar camera work) to the scene with Donna and Loretta in the bathroom.

Donna does make a pretty good villain.

The dress! This is how the dress happens!

Not a bad life at all <3

if the murderer of sazz pataki will turn out to be scott bakula i just want to say that joy saying „scott bakula says hi” can mean that a) he is there, he is in the building and someone’s in grave danger, or b) that she’s giving him an alibi

We need to talk seriously here. I used to like Joy. Or rather, I knew her little but I had high expectations for her at the end of s2. But then they decided to use her character like a plot device for creating drama and more sus for us as viewers. But in the end I think she is gonna be the endgame for Charles so I feel very guilty saying I don't like the idea anymore.

And that's sad bc she actually loves him, she does!! And I loved the idea that the one for him it could be her, the exuberant make up artist. But all the "I've been waiting for years for you to change" topic doesnt sit right with me. Not for a character like Charles. He is ok and perfect in his way. He is trying A LOT to change but not in the forced way. Love is not about changing is about acceptance in first place yy

And at the same time, maybe she is gonna accept him but for me it will be read almost as a defeat.

Idk mmh maybe Im wrong and I'm just speculating, sorry, a terrible place is my mind now.

I love images

Experiencing anxiety on set can be a bit of an ordeal for Charles.

I just KNOW Joy loves The Incredible Mr. Limpet.
