[just popping in after forever to say i got around to watching digestivo just now and i’m both happy and mad about it---]
---happy that mason got what he deserved, in basically the same manner as the book, happy with most of the stuff between mason and margot, happy with marlana.
MAD that fuller finally decided to reuse that whole uterus idea that he didn’t do in season 2 and make it even worse with the surrogate and the dead baby. personally, i found that scene pretty upsetting and though i believe mason would totally sink that low, i also don’t think it was quite... necessary? it seems the only reason the writers shoehorned it in was to give margot an instant catalyst for killing mason then and there, which of course i understand from a storytelling standpoint, but it just felt like another needless blow for her, after everything. i mean, we KNOW mason is gross and irredeemable already, it’s not like anyone was on the fence about that.
otherwise i didn’t mind how it turned out, though i still have a lot of issues with the season as a whole - it’s a shame it took this long to get an episode which moved forward with the action.
sidenote: interesting that they completely upped the incestual implications with joe anderson’s mason, it’s kind of nice (?) to see that all my ugly headcanons are justified. EW.
