Thoughts on 9.22, no spoilers.
Wow. I mean, wow. That was nothing at all like what I expected. So very very far away from what I expected.
The episode did keep me rivited. Absolutely fascinating, as it took turns that I did not see coming. This is proof positive that an episode doesn't need a lot of action to be absolutely captivating. A story that comes down to people and how they relate to each other will always trump explosions.
I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it overall. The lack of meeting my expectations makes for a kind of weird sense of.... Disappointment? But not? This could have been a lot darker and dramatic than it was, and I've been craving that all season.
Marvin. Man, Marvin. I've always liked his character. I like anybody who is loyal to Red. This episode gave me surprising new angles to like him from. I always tend to go for the smartest character in the room. That's still Red, but..... He sure owned everybody else. He really was underestimated by everybody, and the multiple prices to be paid for that....
I suppose the part of me that is disappointed with this episode comes a lot from the task force side of this episode. Specifically their emotions. I'm really struggling with how easily they accepted the whole situation. I needed there to be some meltdowns.
I'm surprised about the Xiu sisters. We knew from the cast list that they weren't going to be in the episode, but I thought there would be something more definitive about that. I don't like where this has been left. I don't like it at all.
The scene from The promo pictures turned out much better than I was expecting it to. I was dreading it being some kind of inappropriate ' stick a fork in it,' where Liz is concerned. It didn't feel like that at all. I absolutely loved what Dembe said. It gave such a delightful peek into his past with Red, answering a question about him that I have wondered for a long time. It's nice to have the confirmation. Park... Amazingly I only came to that conclusion yesterday. Man, I can't believe I missed that that's what was going on.
I like the setup for next season, although again, it was not done with as much drama and danger as I expected there to be. But I imagine I can see how next season is going to unfold, and I'm here for it.
I'll have to let this percolate for a while, and then do a general overview of the season. There's good, and there's bad, but overall I still love this series deeply. I desperately want it to continue for as long as possible.

sometimes, you NEED to feel better, you NEED to be happier. Why?
for the sake of this world.
To appreciate the humanity that still remains. To look at the sunrise and sunset.
To tell your mom you love her, to tell your dad you love him.
To, for once, tell your sibling that they are precious. to hate them again after.
To pet your dog or cat or hamster or horse or pig or any specie and let them know that their little lives mean bigger to you than anything.
To plant a tree and see it grow and fruit under your care.
To see green. and blue, and yellow, and red and f**king every colour we cant imagine.
To listen to people talking and living and find someone to talk and live with.
To love, to eat, to sleep, to repeat.
To leave a legacy as a human no one else is
To appreciate the fact that you, who had 1 in a billion chance to be formed inside your lifegiver, lived on and did what we call thriving, on this planet of fascinations.
for the sake of yourself and the life you lived and the space-time you travelled.... sometimes, you NEED to live, in order to live....
