everything i love about replacements!
ah, yes: replacements, also known as john martin’s gorgeous big blue eyes (jesus christ put some sunglasses on him or something!).
i love that we have an entire episode dedicated to how great bull randleman is.
buck, luz and toye playing darts with heffron… they literally just adopted the guy (+ george’s serious ass “tough break. you’re having a bad night. people have bad nights” and buck like “i’m sorry, george :(“).
babe all “yeah, they look a lil sad, don’t they?” about his buddies. man, this guy.
martin’s “yeah, you’ve got some wild killers right there, bull”
also babe wanting to bet ‘cause he is so sure to win and then buck revealing he has been playing lefty all night + “what would i do without george luz?!” + george’s “boop!” and toye and babe’s despair.
not to mention that buck just went and put himself in “a position where he can take from these men” (exactly what winters told him not to do).
gonorrea going to intimidate the replacements + telling the story of “babe’s letter” (“hey, fellows. what do ya hear? what do ya say?” + “i don't care if it's fuckin’ eisenhower's” + “old gonorrhea don't miss nothin’” + “bing and a bang and a boom ev’rybody banging into each other” + “mission cancelled. in other words babe don't have to risk getting inside old doris again. ha!”... this fucker, seriously).
martin making fun of randleman’s “folksy wisdom from back down on the farm” + intimidating the greenies and smirking afterwards (he’s such a little cunt i love him so mucH).
also, i’m sorry but james mcavoy looks so good in here. almost as good as he does in atonement (2007)!
“he’s already married, smokey!” + why do they always make lip the one to break the bad news, man? i guess it’s because everyone loves him. the burdens of being the sweetest man around, i suppose…
every single time chuck grant’s on screen i hear “sexyback” by justin timberlake.
everyone happy as fuck that popeye is back! oh no, sobel’s there too.
i love when lip says “boy” like that!
muck leaves malark alone to face sobel hdsajdhjas
great colorblind representation from that lieutenant. i’m getting flashbacks from that scene from little miss sunshine (2006) with paul dano…
this is randleman’s fucking episode i swear… protecting all the replacements whilst also trying to stay detached and surviving every single hit.
that shot of the men walking reminds me of saving private ryan once more! mmmm, wonder if thre’s any sort of connection between the two.
eindhoven’s wonderful welcome (hoobler holding a kid, that guy screaming with a lipstain in his cheek, perconte trapped in some lady’s chest until lip rescues him, winter says “thank you, girlie”, heffron widely smiling for the pictures and talbert furiously making out with a dutch woman).
hoobler saying “hey don’t speak about screwing, alright? :/”
web sharing his chocolate with the kid!
webster saying that van gogh was born in nuenen (when in fact he was born in zundert; van gogh lived in nuenen for a couple of years though).
web and hoobs spend a lot of time together which is Sad considering What’s To Come.
the replacements all follow bull like hes their mother duckling.
“you got a can opener, babe?” / “afraid i don't, sarge”.... martin how can you joke at a time like this you both are in a vulnerable position, you could get SHOT.
that exagerated annoying brit’s “but if i can't see the bugger i can't bloody well shoot him, can i?”.
i’m sorry but that bit when johnny sees bull “die” and screams “BULL!” and then starts shooting inmediatly afterwards always makes me giggle. like, it’s a bit ridiculous. traumatic, too. ofc.
roe going right after van klinken without even thinking about it and hoobler has to provide covering fire.
buck gets shot in the ass (thus continuing easy company’s tradition) and roe is there again!!! + malark, muck and gonorrea carry him using a door.
nix gets shoot and winters loses his cool jesus christ i’ve never seen him so shaken (“i'm all right, i'm all right…. am i all right?” / “yeah, you feel all right?” / “yeah, quit looking at me like that”).
it’s so sad seeing martin like that when he says he doesn’t know where bull is because fr we’ve always seen him quite grumpy and sure of himself and whatever. it breaks my heart!
does randleman keeps a supply of cigars inside his thomson?? of course he does.
cobb saying “i ain’t going back up there” and then it cuts to him going back up there. comedy.
i love that girl from eindhoven like. she has no dialogue. but i love her.
martin’s reaction when randleman finally appears, like that “BULL!” comes out of him without his consent ( “hey, johnny” / “get a little lost?” / “something like that” / “it's good to see you” / “you too” + guarnere’s “i don't know whether to slap ya, kiss ya, or salute ya”)
“never liked this company none” SHUT UP I’M FINE I’M OKAY.
bull and martin as a dynamic duo is great because we have the biggest guy in the company, a “hick” that never says more than two words at a time and has a cigar in his mouth at all times, just fucking following around at all times a little spitfire (with too much temper for his height) that’s grumpy all the time and likes to tease people and is always running his mouth about something and making fun of him. like. that’s love. that’s how love looks like.
winters throwing into nix face his comment from the beginning of the episode (“only old men and kids”). i love it when they passive-agressively fight. like an old married couple!
“i think we’re gonna have to find a new way into germany” yeah like. what where you expecting. didn’t you learn about ww2 in school. it didn’t end by christmas (flashforward to bastogne).
