i figured out what about nace bothers me this season - they know they have feelings towards one another, and that the curse prevents them from acting on those feelings.
but they’re not just not acting on those feelings - they’re borderline apathetic towards one another? in past seasons, Nancy’s well-being was ace’s number one concern, and Nancy was always the first to notice if something was up with ace.
you’re telling me these two have continuously been in dangerous positions and haven’t gone FERAL at the thought of the other being hurt? yes, I know the spider ep, but ace should have had to be RESTRAINED.
ace was with Nancy at the yacht club when she freaked out and he didn’t charge in there, guns blazing? ace is being actively haunted and no one has any idea? like…come on now.
it’s not so much that they’re not together (though of course I want that) but more that the foundation of their relationship is a deep, fundamental care for one another, and that’s been entirely lacking since episode 3. beyond the curse being broken, I want that back!
anyway, that’s my thought of the night before 4x10. excited for what comes next and trust the writers it will be wonderful.
let's do this! so excited i get to watch this episode live
the writers said this ep is the funniest, but i have a feeling i'm going to cry tonight lol
as a reminder, this episode (and show) is only possible because of people who are members of the wga and sag-aftra, who are currently on strike! they haven't ordered a content blackout at this time, but it's important to support their work and follow the guidelines they are sharing.
all that being said, let's do this!
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING
hi ryan!
yeah i'm going to cry this ep
aw carson is really trying
you are not fine! i can recognize grief a mile away
ACE BABY NO
hi captain thom
I GET SO HAPPY WHENEVER I SEE ASL ON THIS SHOW
I LOVE JEWISH REPRESENTATION TOO AHHHH
the chain i can't breathe
oh shit
HE KNOWS WHAT TODAY IS NANCY
who is george texting?
nace team-up i love it
sorry these two have absolutely zero concept of personal space
uh oh
BODY SWAP
definite body swap.
TUNJI WITH THE BRITISH ACCENT
I LOVE THIS
i think
i don't know actually
wait maybe i don't
sorry the concept of body swap just feels extremely violating but i have hope the writers will handle it well
me trying to figure out what's going to happen like is it nancy and captain thom on the boat? but nancy doesn't know asl and like...SO MANY QUESTIONS.
i feel slightly ill but i don't think that's related.
they're all killing this.
NANCY WAS LEARNING ASL I'M GOING TO CHOKE
kennedy is killing this actually
captain thom knows already this is insane
no fishing. no.
aww but he's so excited i'm going to throw up
bad. thumbs DOWN.
the glasses are behind this i just know
no literally let ryan be the parent for the day. you have more than one.
they're acting and writing this so well i can't breathe
oh poor ace
this is confusing y'all
this liberty mutual commercial is just so cute
ok during this commercial break i'm predicting some really heartwarming tribute to kate at the end of the ep, a great captain thom moment, a nancy teary monologue about her mom, hopefully a nace moment, the glasses being behind this, and MAYBE nace cursebreak. that feels like a lot for one ep but idk... idk!
oh poor kiddo. i have faith george is going to figure this out.
he's into her! and nick is killing me right now.
nick you are being the protective ex which would be great if you weren't IN YOUR EXES BODY
tunji acting as bess is AMAZING it's killing me
sorry miss farquaad? ew booo
oh bess. baby girl. don't do this.
i just instinctively muted my tv and then had to unmute it very quickly.
alex is also killing me the boys are doing an amazing job with the acting this ep. (so is everyone but it's just so out of character for ace and nick that it's more obvious)
all my hopes are riding on captain thom because the nace anger era needs to end. like i understand that you're both hurt, but you quite literally are in love with one another, and hurting for the sake of being hurt is never cool.
aww nick being george's wingman is so getting OH NO
IS SHE GOING TO TELL HIM ABOUT HER MOM?
ok maybe not
tunji is dealing with like 17 accents right now
this is so confusing
i have barbie world by nicki and ice spice stuck in my head
OH NO
i'm going to be sick
oh gosh
that was funny
this better work.
THIS BETTER WORK.
it's been fun while it lasted
imagine we have a different swap i'd die
OH WAIT no glass shattering when nancyace fixed acenancy's hair?? curse lifted methinks?
it feels like there have been so many ad breaks this ep and they've all lasted my entire lifetime plus some
uh oh
oh wait
the necklace i can't
HE KNOWS ABOUT HER MOM
no i feel nauseous but in a positive way i love them so much
he's her watchman? no literally i feel ill
uh oh oreo
UH OH OREO
stop it no don't please
ick ick ick
HAVE ACE COME IN WITH YOU
the lack of self-preservation instincts on this show make me genuinely upset what is wrong with you people
wait is this the boat odette got killed on?
this feels so creepy
oh god
if i see a single spider i sWEAR
the monster? you mean tristan?
ace go in there i mean it
sorry what does that say?
this is the door. don't go through it?
HELL???
oh mother-
that better be ace
what is happening
no literally i swear to god what is going on
that was the strangest cut to commercial ever because it's a video of a car crash test and i was like...who is dying right now?
it is the odette ship!
doesn't ace need to be going fishing right now?
is the name tristan? oh no it's the sin eater. we knew that.
is tristan an anagram for anything does anyone know
oof that was like a punch to the gut
tell them!
oh ace is going to miss kate's dinner this makes me sad
teary nancy monologue i was right
oh god ace's boat thing is going to knock her out
this is a super cute scene but LITERALLY WHY did you have ace walk out before it was over
miss farquaad. what do you want.
i love you nick. HE TURNED IT DOWN? i love him so much. he's such a good character.
i also love how representative this show is!!!
yeah f u miss farquaad. you're going to be a villain i know but like whatever.
stop it my heart.
ace. it will work out. don't even worry. no stress my friend.
you are better together! and you'll be best when you're dating.
oh no. my heart is beating really fast right now.
this is going to end badly.
or maybe not?
that was anticlimactic. WHAT THE HECK.
you're telling me ace missed kate's dinner just to BAIT ME INTO THINKING HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER?
rude.
icarus hall question mark
why your building use icarus hall which is in the mIDDLE OF NOWHERE
aww that's cute. i love ryan. the dads!
i knew it was the glasses.
ick ick i feel sick!
oh a birthday cake fight. without ace.
no in all seriousness this is very sweet but ace has been left out of a lot of drew crew scenes recently and it makes me a little sad.
BIRTHDAY CAKE FIGHT!
i'm smiling watching this but i need you all to know that i am slightly upset.
alright what's the final scene.
curse breaking curse breaking curse breaking
FUCK YEAH
yay wait i'm so happy
stop it. actually.
is something about to happen.
ah. i feel sick.
WAIT WAIT WAIT
is the curse broken?
oh never mind. i would like to kill the sin eater though.
all in all, that was a really good episode. the writers have delivered episode after episode this season, and the actors knocked it out of the park! really hoping the nace curse gets broken soon because we are sadly very near to the end of this season and therefore the series! streets (nd twitter) are saying end of 4x09/4x10 for curse breaking, but we shall see.
support the wga and sag-aftra, and i'll see you next week for some more nancy drew!
managed to free up my evening to get to watch 4x06 live, so let's do this!
love a good drew crew scene
where is ace
nah career day is not all it is shaped up to be
george looks amazing
ace i love you
CHUNKY VELEZ
i love bess but she's about to do something unwise i can just tell
oh nancy baby you had to see this coming
tristan certainly knows how to frame his job
alright who is this. is it owen. i am unimpressed.
ok he's charming. fine. whatever.
oh no. uh oh.
why is it glowing.
if i see the spider i swear to god i'm throwing HANDS
she's definitely dancing with tristan isn't she UGH
aww look at nick checking in on ace
WAIT ACE IS FINDING CHUNKY???
ace baby you don't play cool very well
oh we're in another version of the whisper box huh
i will give it to tristan he's very unfazed
oh no
NOT THE SPIDER
listen. he's fine. whatever. where is ace. the love of her life?? idk.
i thought if i could do this one thing for nancy, we could find our way back to the way it was before everything?
BUDDY I LOVE YOU I WANT YOU TO BE FRIENDS BUT MORE THAN THAT I WANT YOU TO BE TOGETHER
i am not carson's biggest fan, but george and bess you are not professionals and you are going to mess this up!! i love you but this is when you recruit the people with experience!
what is wrong with him
ugh tristan be quiet
shut up. like stop it.
no. this should be ace. i am just glowering at the screen.
i hate spiders.
oh look! this went EXACTLY how i thought it would! i still don't love carson but good lord please leave this to the professionals.
sorry where is ace?
no literally where is ace
bess your platanchor PLEASE
this is about to go badly
if i see a goddamn SPIDER
I HATE SPIDERS
thank god the cgi on this is questionable if it was more realistic i would be on the floor sobbing
literally what is happening right now
and where is ace?
there he is!
i feel so bad right now
i feel actually ill
ace is such a better person than i am
have i mentioned how much i hate spiders
oh she does not look good
hey ace???
i HATE SPIDERS
i was going to say aren't we supposed to see the spider again based on the trailer
forMALdeHYDE?
ah the trusty crowbar
this is maybe one of the grossest things that has ever happened on this show
i can't look actually
this is DISGUSTING
except the spider is about to bust out
NO I KNEW IT
i hate spiders
have i mentioned that
ew ew ew
ACE WHERE ARE YOU
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
ew i feel sick
IS HE OKAY
DISGUSTING
give him a hug or something jesus christ
did y'all hear him???
thank you george for facing the consequences of your actions
catch the ferret though
FREAK YEAH
ending nace scene ending nace scene
listen carson is a complex character but he has his moments
CHUNKY VELEZ
not the WAIT NO
no tristan go away
i know what's going to happen and i'm going to throw up
make him leave
nO
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ENDING NACE SCENE YOU WHORES
stop it.
ace don't show up though i don't want you to see this
THIS ISN'T ROMANTIC KENNEDY YOU LIAR
stop i'm going to be sick
wrong guy. that's all i have to say.
NO SHUT THE FUCK UP
this is the worst day of both mine and ace's lives
i feel sick.
WHAT ABOUT CHUNKY VELEZ
DON'T SET HIM FREE HE CAN EAT THE MOTHS
and of course he just got bit
which is going to end badly i can just tell
wasn't captain thom supposed to be in this episode
OH NO LOOK AT HER FACE
fuck.
ace my baby
as a nace lover and a spider hater, that was a rough one.
it's that time again! don't know when the next time i'll watch nancy drew live will be (or if there will be a next time) so let's do this!
poor heartbroken nancy
omg loving these messages she really has a tribe
this makes me sad
why is george's message killing me like she cares about her friends so much but shows it in a different way!
hi lacey!!!
ooh who got murdered
nancy wants a job so badly lol girl i feel you
at least she has paid for her power
ooh shit fanson is fighting! love a little bicker back-and-forth
ryan is trying so hard to be supportive i love him especially after carson messing stuff up last week
i love you bess
oh ace i love you too
nancy babe i love you but we've jumped to cynical right quick huh
do we have a haunting?
i ADORE ryan and bess
oh god please don't let anything happen to bess right now
i hate horror so much i am with nancy on this
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO FANSON?
so it's not jim stanley right
ok yep that's clear
this show deals with grief so well wow
is it ACE?
spooky ooky
why do i feel like it's ace
never mind
oh he's suspicious
OH THE WATER
it's bree!!!
this is about to go badly
this is about to go so badly.
icarus hall is really going through it right now and so is lacey
oh god wait YOU KILLED HIM?
ok come on lacey i believe in you
oH NO OH NO NO NO
ok glad that lacey is going to be okay and that we're figuring out some more stuff about the poisoned water
this scene is so funny
going to need the carpet deep-cleaned, huh
ah glad to see the stomach pump broke
had to see that one coming
no one going to explain to the stunt crew?
this nick and george dynamic is giving me WHIPLASH bro (and not in a bad writing way in a sometimes people are like this and it is so confusing type of way)
this is probably supposed to be the next day which makes no sense but neither DOES THE TIMELINE OF THIS SHOW
tough week? girl there is no way
by my understanding, you lost your grandma two weeks ago????
bess baby i admire you for doing what's right and standing up for yourself, but i am begging you to pick your battles and keep away from trouble even if you don't deserve to be in trouble
SORRY THAT TEXT CHAIN?
DID Y'ALL SEE THAT SHIT?
'IT'LL BE MORE ROMANTIC AFTER WE BREAK THE CURSE? STILL AWAKE?'
GIRL WHAT
I MISS YOU?
ryan. don't do this. i need my nace captains.
no more ace this episode huh
so excited for this real jumpscare
WAIT SHIT
NO WAIT
hold the phone
love a knish
what is this black door
i don't have enough mental energy for this
ace i love you
i love complicated relationships with the caveat that they must end up together. the consensus seems to be that they'll break the curse episode 7 or 8, which i am perfectly fine with, but let's actually follow through on that, please.
this is the first episode EVER of nancy drew that i'm going to be able to watch live, so here's my thoughts as the episode happens. yes, i am freaking out.
we're one minute out and i think i am going to pass out (not really but YES REALLY)
what is happening right now HI JESSIE
oh why are we trying to expose the supernatural. i liked it being like a secret everyone knew but NO ONE TALKED ABOUT this is going to end badly. OH LOOK IT DID.
that was creepy. also does this not feel very strange to anyone else?
oh just cold open vibes got it ok.
ugh i hate how icarus hall looks.
TRIAL 36???
look at that chain oh god
I STILL REMEMBER SEEING YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL??? i'm gonna cry.
you stood out?
you're still scared??
HAVING YOU HERE HELPS???
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED TO KEEP LIVING?
oh my god we're living in a fanfiction. we are living in a fanfiction.
the way he looks at her i'm going to cry?
CARSON WHY ARE YOU SHIRTLESS. AH HE'S TOO DAD FOR THIS? he looks good but still!!! this is just like reliving season 1 and seeing ryan and george and wanting to gouge my eyes out.
oh this is awkward.
AWW THEY'RE GAY! very happy for them.
bess girlie i love you but we have got to get you a little more natural at this whole tour guide thing.
a nantigen!
TRIGGER THE CURSE??? my jaw is permanently dropped.
oh no. oh no oh no. damn it!!!
I HATE BULLIES. i also hate that bess has been put in this position, but she's between a rock and a hard place here.
no not the doll don't do it! damn it jessie! look the girls have been hurt and they don't know the kind of damage they're doing here, but it's so frustrating to watch!
alright we've reached our first commercial break and i'm obsessed with the nace content so far, but i have a feeling this is going to be one of those situations where everything could have been easy and is difficult just for the sake of prolonging the plot, which is fine and what TV is like, but it's SO FRUSTRATING.
i love you ned nickerson and the role you have grown into throughout this series.
i love fanson as friends, but i'd love them back together!
WHERE'S THE FIRST PLACE YOU WANT TO GO AFTER WE BREAK THE CURSE?
watching the sunset on a bridge in paris. you are JOKING.
i would watch the sunrise with you from a hot air balloon. I AM GOING TO THROW UP.
the way they're just loitering in the corner?
WHEN DID YOU FIRST KNOW YOU HAD FEELINGS FOR ME?
before the warehouse? after the wraith. you had been there for me so many times. I WENT TO YOUR HOUSE? I HAD THIS WHOLE SPEECH PREPARED? BUT YOU HAD ALREADY LEFT? god, i was jealous of amanda.
i was jealous of gil and park.
after you drank the fake poison for me? earlier?
the day you made that volcano erupt.
that long? that long.
take your SHIRT OFF?
i am going to throw up. i am shaking.
WOAH THE WAY SHE'S LOOKING AT HIM.
i can't stop giggling. this insane. this is actually crazy.
oh fuck you guys i was having such a good time watching this.
oh the wind machine! oh the girls are gone.
there are too many plots (quite literally two and they are very much connected) happening right now and it's freaking me out.
i am so upset right now. i am so upset right now. and so are they!
oh my GOD the claw scene!
bess looks so good right now idk why.
the look of hope on nancy's face? shut up.
ace also looks phenomenal.
i'm sorry i love carson I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THIS AT ALL RIGHT NOW.
this show's timeline is so funny you're telling me kate supposedly died a year ago???
the historical society being accused of child endangerment? i feel like that's going to come back to bite them!
everything is about to go terribly, i can just tell.
oh no. OH YAY!
I THINK THE UNIVERSE WANTS THIS TO HAPPEN. WHO ARE WE TO DENY THE UNIVERSE?
everything is about to go to shit.
oh my god everything is about to go terribly i want to cry.
look at how smiley they are i want to sob my eyes out.
it's too easy i am so upset.
FOR ME THIS IS OUR FIRST KISS?
not the flashback montage. actually this is the worst. this is um...i can't breathe. THEY'RE JUST MAKING OUT WHAT THE FUCK.
wait is he seeing the dreamscapes????
THE LIGHTS? and they're still making out.
oh no. oh no. oh i'm going to cry. it didn't work.
it didn't work. they switched the fucking curse. the moths.
DAMN IT.
SOMEBODY CALL 911? shoot me in the foot.
i actually want to die right now. shut the fuck up cheetos commercial i don't care!!!
i feel sick. THE FIRST THING SHE ASKS IS ABOUT ACE?
and all she cares about is that he's ok???
i'M NOT GONNA GIVE UP? ace is my person??
i am shaking. i actually can't handle this.
aww carson no
DO NOT TALK HER OUT OF THIS??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!
CARSON BE QUIET. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
i am not in the mood for lighthearted right now. go away with this. it's cute, but i don't care.
i knew the water supply wouldn't work out.
OH COME ON WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? oh it's the water. oh. understood. got it.
hey! woah. let's chill here please. this...ouch. i said i would accept them as friends if they couldn't be together!! i said that was okay!!
i knew this was going to come back to bite them.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THIS. WHERE IS ACE?
good for carson!! i love the idea of evil jean, but for his sake, i hope not.
oh shoot me.
and of course he now doesn't want to break it because it could kill her.
no.
no no no.
OF COURSE I DID? but then you weren't breathing?? and going everything that you went through, and it was awful?
i let fear keep me away from you for too long!
watching you collapse almost killed me. i am going to be sick.
don't get mad! he's trying so hard!
i want to be with you more than anything, but it's not worth the risk.
this hurts so badly.
he's about to cry and she already is
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT? and the voice break?
i just had to take a really long walk around. oh my god i feel faint. like so bad.
kennedy and alex what the fuck.
it hurts too much to be here?
this isn't fucking real. holy crap.
WHY AM I SUDDENLY WATCHING RIVERDALE? I DON'T WANT THIS.
ok final thoughts.
that was insane. kennedy and alex for the emmy now please
i am like in shock shaking.
so excited to see where this season goes.
couple questions; does he fully know about all the dreamscapes now? do we ever get to see his reaction to her basically dying?
how long until this gets resolved. like i can deal with some angst and slowburn for a little bit, but only so long. i need some dating nace era. let's solve this by episode 10 please. preferably earlier.
i keep rewatching the nace scenes from 4.01 because they’re so good but the noise ace makes after the flashlight breaks???
it’s the most insane mix of frustration and vindication and heartbreak. he wants to kiss her so badly, and he’s so upset he can’t, but he’s so glad there’s a reason and it’s not because she doesn’t feel the same way. and the fact that all of that is communicated in like one sigh??
[text ID: “I could’ve lived like this”, echoed in my head. / As I looked around, my eyes unthinkingly clung to places where I could’ve hidden my selves: the ones that didn’t come to being and the one that I was. In the cupboards of this kitchen I could’ve buried all the women I could’ve grown into. While doing so, I would’ve put on the apron of the one who inhabited the kitchen. The cups and the glasses would’ve made place for me. I could’ve easily found a home in between the kitchen table and refrigerator. As the fragrance of rosemary and thyme found their way to me, a picture found its way to the back of my eyes: a hushed scene, full of contentment, a shot of me standing in the center of this kitchen, feet thick brown trucks giving birth to dozens of snakelike radixes, covered in colorful moss, devoid of flowers but who needs flowers when all they do is wilt anyway? I would’ve thought so, had I been the me of that frame. / I could’ve been content here, not happy, but content. The cutlery and the plates would’ve made place for me. The dull roar of the washing machine would’ve hidden my cries, with the same diligence it sheltered my mother’s. The “what ifs” of this particular scenario smelled of cinnamon and vanilla. / I could’ve been content here. I thought as I placed the coffee cup on the countertop next to the gas stove: the surface always wet for it filled the space between the sink and the stove, in between water and fire. / I could’ve been content here. I repeated as I unscrewed the lid of the coffee jar and took out a spoonful of the umber powder. / While turning on the gas and putting the cezve on its designated place, I cursed the mind that yearned for more, yearned to be more than what it was supposed to be. I cursed the eyes that only saw what was not in front of them, hands that wished to touch what wasn’t theirs to touch and the tongue that longed to taste what wasn’t hers to taste. I cursed myself because I understood that I could’ve been content here, and as the umber froth fought its way to the surface, my tears caved in to the gravitational force.]

alright y'all after 2 long years i have finally gotten the vid / miss rona so i am not feeling all too well!
that being said, i'll give general thoughts on today's ep, not just the full on commentary i normally do
why is michael very randomly playing guitar
bonnie's a cutie
isobel looks GOOD
ah ah ah itchy uncomfy
how does bonnie remind michael of himself?
y'all is maria ok and also WHERE IS GREGORY MANES?
this new nathan dean tattoo is not subtle wowww
ooh not this again
poor kyle (also maria there are so many easier ways to get your hands on an epi-pen bestie)
OH NO NOT THEM ON A DOUBLE DATE AH
poor kyle man
i am so effing uncomfortable
liz bestie you look hot but that outfit is not lab approved
can someone please remind maria that her 'powers' were literally a degenerative process that was causing her slow demise like yes i know it's inconvenient but girlie you had to know that stopping that demise was probably going to stop your visions too?
*almost just died trying to drink water sorry y'all quick pause*
max sweetie that's cute that you want to protect others but did we not start this episode with you literally not being able to use your powers at all? i'd be more afraid that you couldn't do anything period.
SO OBSESSED WITH THE CLEAR COMMUNICATION THIS SEASON LIKE YES BESTIES!!!
ok i'm sorry but as someone who has education/experience in journalism what anatsa's doing is really messed up - she's taking advantage of her source, and this is an unethical way of finding material that she cannot use in an investigative article!
roswell new mexico proving once and for all that straight men can't multitask
okay so this is a plan!!
oh poor babies
yes maria!! AND YES DALLAS!!
no not uncle valenti (david maybe idk what his name is)

that photoshop was HORRIFIC
ew
YAY ECHO MAKE OUT
can we leave jones in the past please i'm really over this

obvs spoilers below
omg I missed max’s voiceovers
is code green supposed to be for aliens?

that was a very intense look between max and Liz in an almost awkward way lol
THIS IS SUCH A SMALL DETAIL BUT SHOULDN’T THE WALKIE TALKIE CORD GO THROUGH THE EPAULETS ON MAX’S SHIRT???
the science here shouldn’t work but I’ll let it slide
Liz’s excited face when explaining st Elmo’s fire cut straight to maxs confusion lol

I’m actually so fucking sick of graham Greene
hey yo max I’m glad you stepped in because you cannot let senor psycho spread misinformation but that was not the thing to say I’m sorry buddy a pissing match is not the way to go

good for you Liz
OH NO STOP THIS MY TOES ARE SO CRUNCHED UP IM UNHAPPY
YAY LIZ GOOD FOR YOU BESTIE
no nope no I am not happy but good for Liz sticking to her morals when it’s hard
aww Bonnie’s a cutie but I am really fucking sick of Clyde and once again STOP REUSING CW ACTORS ITS BORING
also my memory’s foggy but didn’t this guy kill Nathan’s character in the originals? (I googled it not quite but close enough)
why is tezca in charge literally just curious
don’t really know why we’re spending this much time with the other triad but yeah whatever
Bonnie and Clyde are begrudgingly cute together
HOLA SENOR VALENTI
no. no we’re really not doing this again. I actually don’t care.
I did think that was tezca for a second and my heart fell out of my ass but okay it’s not.
I AM SO UNCOMFORTABLE SO SO UNHAPPY

ugh love a good Mikey Liz moment
YAY CONSENSUAL ALIEN SCIENCE

oh Dallas
OH ROMANCE???
no just cringe
is a cw show seriously trying to take a serious introspective stance on sociopolitical issues and expecting us to just nod along? just asking.
ok so Clyde has superhearing and either super speed or teleportation alright
wow and mind erasure that’s fun
can we maybe not call it the guts it makes me uncomfyyyy

max first of all you really should be a better liar and second of all like anatsa really is not likeable and that’s where the writers really messed up because she has potential but no one LIKES HER
that went so dark so ducking fast whoa I got whiplash
EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW
no don’t do this roswell FUCK LIKE I’m sorry I love when roswell embraces social issues well but the white cop lecturing the black female journalist does not go down well and they’re not going to examine the consequences and I hate it
that wig is ugly as
where the hell is Maria actually that’s weird
damn I actually love Liz’s boots let me check those out
oh please don’t make me feel for shiri applebys wife this is too many characters especially considering Maria is missing Kyle and Isobel and Alex are barely here and THERE IS STILL NO GREG MANES

IT MAY BE FUN BUT I DONT LIKE IT (I love it actually)
that was good people that was fun! might go watch the originals for fun now lol
alright y'all!!! i def can't live post for the first 3 episodes of season 4 (and potentially not for the rest of the season but we shall see) so here is my slightly delayed reaction!
it's well known i was not a big season 3 fan but i have high hopes for this season...if they kill off greg manes all bets are off
spoilers below the cut!
i do hope they use shiri appleby this season lol
this woman is very fashionably dressed for a truck driver
oh not the cgi eyes
i should be less cynical but i kind of hated that opening like AH
oh not the fake sex shit UGH
ok here we go this is cute
i spy with my little eye a new nathan dean tattoo!!!
i love domestic echo so much like actually give me just this and i'll be so happy
i actually live for teacher liz because it eliminates the useless thought spiral of scientist liz but keeps her in the realm of science???
i vibe with dallas there's so much less angst with him
yay malex move-in!
i was really confused about where the hell kyle was but right deep sky forgot my bad
omg the alien band-aids
kyle remains my fave i love him so much
ok this pacing is slightly strange anyone else? we just changed scenes at a very odd time and did with the michael/dallas scene too
arturo i love you
why are we having this conversation in the middle of the day in the middle of a diner? just asking
AH EXCITING
ok who directed this episode these cuts are starting to bother me there's awkward silence at the end of EACH SCENE and unnecessary lead-in (sorry my filmmaker brain is itchy)
carina wrote it i should have known
alex manes the man of everyone's dreams
DOMESTIC BLISS KEEP IT GOING Y'ALL
malex move-in 2022 is goooddddd
cute cute cute!
why is isobel wearing maddy's i.am.gia pants?
THIS HAIR IS HORRIFIC Y'ALL LILY IS SO PRETTY WHY Y'ALL DO HER LIKE THIS
i love bi isobel but i don't like anantsaaaaa (it's because she played that godawful guidance counselor in teen wolf and that's all i'll ever see when i look at her) it's a daily struggle for me much like it is for kyle valenti
i'm sorry the writers had to know no one was going to jump out of their chair going WOOHOO when anantsa said that
i am actually genuinely curious about how converse feel on prosthetics because they're so flat-footed and i thought prosthetics have a specific type of arch but i know absolutely nothing about it so idk someone let me know
this director and i are about to have real problems idc
oh NO i just crawled inside my skeleton to hide no no no
i love liz and mikey together so much my favorite duo
i'm loving everyone's shoes so far this ep
NOT DALLAS AND MARIA NO GREGORY WHERE ARE YOU
ok i'm exhaling it's all good
obsessed with nervous max frying all of the electronics
i love you michael SO MUCH
i'm so glad isobel and liz's relationship has evolved to this point like there's still a little bit of tension every now and again but that's healthy
liz just ran inside holding the banner but definitely did not manage to pull it down which is fun
cameron really enunciated the word QUANTICO just then just in case you were wondering about whether or not she's in the FBI
SHERIFF MAX WHOOP WHOOP (that holster looks damn good on him can someone gifset that pls and thank you)
ok this i can get on board with i like the mystery vibe i like the police tie-in this way this works y'all
oh no michael
bet malex are the ones getting married by the end of this season like it's 100% a carina move to sideline max and liz lol (EDIT: my bad y’all I totally forgot that carina isn’t the show runner anymore also I love malex but it was weird there was a hyper focus on a side couple)
I LOVE DOMESTIC BLISS Y'ALL WOO
yeah max and liz aren't getting engaged lol
the roswell soundtrack is so good and 90% of that is because of their continued use of mrs. potter's lullaby and any novo amor song
oh good lord poor max evans
i actually do not care about the other aliens (ok no i do like i get that they're the plot motivators this season but i meant what i said about being happy with a whole season of domestic bliss)
ok this is a good sign re: gregory this season but does anyone know if tanner novlan was on set? i'm assuming yes but idk for sure
no i love dallas so much like we needed someone level-headed to step in
y'all honestly is kyle doing okay like i know he was struggling with isobel but like DAMN
EARL THE LONGHORN SKULL AH
him saying 'our house' makes me smile like an idiot
i like cameron's evolution a lot i think she's a solid character she works well with everyone else and it just works? i didn't love her at first so i'm glad they took her in a different direction.
NOT ANOTHER FUCKING LEGACIES ACTOR I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT FIND NEW FUCKING ACTORS
anyway sorry
that was really like physically awkward
i'm really hoping this means good things on the horizon for kyle and isobel but idk y'all
ouch poor kyle
yeah i was going to say thank you arturo because it's not clear what the problem is and they need to sit and have a conversation THIS IS GOOD PEOPLE I LIKE THIS EMOTIONAL MATURITY
my shoulders just went up to my ears i'm so uncomfortable no
STOP RUNNING MICHAEL
yeah there we go!!!
tesco? like the uk grocery chain?
nice intrigue i'm starting to like this more
i just made a very wounded noise don't sabotage yourselves!!!
ok good adult conversation
YAYAYAYAYAYAY ok that was good! promise you'll ask and i promise i'll say yes! (ok so malex gets married and echo gets engaged maybe? that's my current prediction)
oh...oh no. oh no no no.
ok begrudgingly anatsa just won some points in my book
the photographer in me just withered up and died a slow painful death
ok honestly the last five minutes made that episode for me
FINAL THOUGHTS:
i am very very excited for this season
i'm hoping for continued domestic echo (and malex but i'm an echo stan first and foremost)
listen I don’t know what it is about me but I’M SORRY I LOVE STEVE AND NANCY I MAKE NO APOLOGIES so if you love them too and if you hate them I get it but I LIKE LIVING IN DELUSION BABY WOOHOO
