Chapter 187 Spoilers

Gosh, I’m coming up with these later and later, but I’ll do something about that! Let’s get to it!

First, we get some of that Nagi-Reo interaction that began in the previous chapter, but ended on a cliffhanger and first of all, we have a Reo who is pissed off with Nagi and rightfully so, in my opinion.

I mean, I don’t know how others see Nagi, but to me, at least, he comes across as sort of wishy-washy, lazy and maybe aso a bit entitled? Particularly in the begining and I still haven’t seen as much growth from his character as I would have liked, personally speaking.

Even here, Reo is telling Nagi that he’s not thinking about the feelings of others at all, becuz just when he (Reo) had decided to fight alone, Nagi comes asking for his help.

But Nagi replies to that by saying that all the choices he has made until now were so that he and Reo together, could win the World Cup.

Then Reo callz Nagi “troublesome” cuz HE IS… and HE IS. Like really, how was Reo suppossed to know that Nagi was thinking about all of this when he wasn’t saying a word about it?!?!

And now Reo is thinking of it too, asking Nagi if that’s his ego talking now, for the two of them together to take down Isagi.

And now they’re back to being a two man team, I guess. Can’t say I’m thrilled with this development; I liked it more when Reo was trying to make his way in the world of football on his own, by making himself shine, just for himself, instead of for Nagi’s sake, so they could play together and he could be Nagi’s support on the field.

And Nagi had just started doing more growing on his own, in the world of the sport, by using his own head to think up strategies and moves. There’s a part of me thinking that maybe he’s expecting ideas from Reo, to be guided by him, like in the past and I’m not sure I can envision separate and significant growth for the both of them, now that they are back together.

Next up, in contrast with the above mentioned making up, we have Kunigami and Isagi, who are still… not on good terms, to put it lightly.

Their conversation goes like this:

Tbh, I get why Isagi is pissed, I really, REALLY do, cuz I’m pissed with Kaiser too, a GREAT DEAL, AT THAT, but hey, this is Blue Lock; one player’s pinch, is another player’s opportunity and if I didn’t agree with Isagi’s goal being called a “left over goal” in the match against the former U-20 (which I DIDN’T & STILL DON’T), then I don’t agree with Kunigami’s goal being regarded as such either.

After this brief exchange between the characters, the game is restarteze by Manshine City, as their opponents are now just one goal away from victory and that’s left for us to do, is follow them on journey, just like always!

tagging my cm buddy. @npatrickz

(*credit to gif owner*)

Many people imagine their dream person or think of the person they want to date or marry from a young age. Y/N remembered going to sleepovers and her friends talking about how they wanted a boyfriend with blue eyes and blonde hair or brown hair and brown eyes. But when Y/N's turn came around she always said the same thing "I don't care what they look like as long as they are the right person for me." And that's when the game would end. Because twelve year olds could not fathom that everyone had their person and at some point they'd meet and everything would work out. Her mindset was set as growing up her mom would always tell her the same story. When I met your dad I just knew she'd say.

Spencer was the same way. Always being busy with work he didn't have time to go out on dates and spend time with people. He just hoped that one day the right person would come. I mean after what happened with Maeve who he strongly believed was his soulmate he didn't really see a point in trying to move on. He always said it was too soon.

Too soon. Two words that circled both of their brains. Too soon to date. Too soon to go out and put themselves out there. Why put yourself out there when you could stay locked up in your house where you were comfortable.

Spencer's head buried in cases and files while Y/N had her head buried in the latest book. They weren't that different to begin with. Maybe some person out in the universe made it this way. Hoping that one day two people who have had their heart broken and taped so many times would bump into each other.

The day would finally come. Well not exactly the day that they magically fell in love. But the day that they were in the same spot at the same time.

?Y/N had a tradition. Coffee every single Monday because well to be honest Mondays sucked. You know those people that take their sugar with coffee. Yeah Y/N was one of them.

Spencer had decided to stop by the coffee shop a few minutes away from his apartment. Deciding that a small detour would be nice. I mean a different type of coffee would be nice even though of course his coffee taste was more sugar than coffee.

~~~~

"Thomas please just a bit more sugar, you know that's not enough." Y/N asked the barista who slowly had become her friend to kindly add more sugar to her coffee.

"Y/N this is a disgrace how do you call this coffee." The barista said as he added more and more sugar until a small mountain piled up on the top.

"And that is why I love you Thomas." She said as she grabbed the coffee and headed toward the exit.

Spencer had heard the altercation as he waited in line for his coffee and chuckled. Wow if he could meet this person he knew they would for sure get along.

~~~~

Spencer and the BAU had been working on a case. It was a tough one to crack. Only a few minutes away from Quantico but with little to no clues they knew it would be a hair puller.

They had one neighbor as a witness and some history about the victims. Other than that they had zilche as Garcia would say.

Alex decided to go talk to the witness as Spencer worked on the geographical profile and the others went through looking for overlaps in the other victims.

As soon as Blake walked up to the door a person no older than Spencer opened the door.

As she guided Blake to the couch, careful to pick up the scattered books all around her living room, embarrassed to have someone from the FBI see her living room like this.

"You have a vast collection of books here." Blake said attempting to make conversations before getting to the point.

"Yeah I love reading." Y/N spoke up.

"I'm quite the reader myself." As Blake looked at the small living room she couldn't help but notice the similarities between the girl in the kitchen and Spencer. Scratch that. You were so similar to Spencer that it was like an exact replica.

~~~

Y/N did not expect to be spending her Wednesday afternoon with someone from the FBI but since her next door neighbor had been murdered she was now a part of it.

"Can you tell me what you saw." The agent sat in front of her.

"Well Mrs. Smith always is asleep by eight so i found it kind of odd that her lights were on after midnight. I was getting ready to open my door and check on her when I heard a thump. Then I looked through my peep hole and saw a man run across. He had a mask on. But he dropped it. I got a paper towel and placed it on my counter before calling the police."

"Wow that helps us more than you know." Alex was quite impressed by how much information the witness was actually able to provide.

"Yeah well anything to help find who did this." Y/N smiled at the agent.

"Well we'll call you if we need anything more, thank you for all your help."

~~~~

After arriving back at the station and giving an update on what she learned Alex suggested that Spencer go talk to the witness.

"I think he can maybe find out more since they are closer in age."

"Well that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Rossi spoke up.

Spencer not really having a problem with it headed over to your place. As he knocked he heard a familiar voice respond. He wasn't sure where but he knew that he knew you from somewhere.

"Hi uhm i'm Spencer Reid im with the FBI."

"Oh hi uhm you're partner was just here, did you guys learn something new?"

"Oh no just another check up."

"Oh ok, come in. I was just making coffee, would you like some?" Y/N looked at the attractive agent in front of her.

"Yeah coffee is good."

As soon as Spencer walked in he saw the extensive book collection in the corner. Ranging from romance to mystery to autobiographies.

"Favorite book?" Y/N asked as she poured the coffee eyeing the boy that was taking such an interest in her book collection.

"Oh i'm not sure I can pick. I mean there are so many genres." Spencer smiled feeling comfortable with the conversation.

"I agree with you." Y/N said as she poured sugar into her coffee.

As she poured the sugar it's like something clicked in Spencer's mind. Her voice, the coffee smell, the unhealthy amounts of sugar. The girl from the coffee shop. The one he so wanted to have a conversation with.

He grabbed the sugar and as Y/N saw him pour it she smiled. Everyone she knew always said the amount she poured was ridiculous but here stood a boy in front of her who did the same thing as her. And as Spencer took a sip of his coffee he knew that he could finally have that conversation he so much wanted. And as he did he felt much happier then he had in the last few months.

Episode 36 Review: The Séance

{ YouTube: 1 | 2 | 3 }

{ Synopses/Recaps: Debby Graham | Bryan Gruszka }

Welcome back to my Garden of Evil and thank you for patiently waiting for me to return to reviewing Strange Paradise. It’s been a wild and chaotic past few weeks and I’ve just gotten around to returning to the course of events on Maljardin. And Great Serpent, this time we have one hell of a wild episode!

Because I already miss the bad puns in the earlier episodes.

Of all the episodes of this show, this one is my #1 favorite. It embodies everything I love about Maljardin-era SP: it stars Colin Fox as both Jean Paul and Jacques, features some delightful Jacques scenes, and is genuinely suspenseful and scary. There are also unintentional laughs as usual, but somehow none of them detract from the frightening moments. If I had to introduce SP to someone who had never seen it before (say, my mom, who only knows a little about it), I would use this episode, not the pilot which (IMO) is less scary and far more ridiculous. The magic of Ian Martin’s SP is on full display here. Although he doesn’t leave the show immediately after this episode, it feels like a last hurrah, and a spectacular one at that. You know you want to read about this episode, so what are you waiting for?

We open with Vangie napping on the couch shortly after the events of the previous episode. Over her, Jean Paul and Alison are arguing about whether to go through with the séance to contact Erica. Alison begs him not to because of the risk of death, but Jean Paul insists on pushing through with it anyway because, as Raxl recaps, “The Conjure Woman didn’t see her death, only [Jacques’].” Jean Paul interprets this as meaning that he himself might die, but it’s not clear if he truly believes this or if he’s trying to cover up his frequent possession by the handsome devil.

Vangie recovers and announces that she plans on going through with it, no matter what happens. Still angry from last episode, Matt protests and Jean Paul gives him this nasty smirk that reeks of passive aggression:

Either that, or Colin is trying hard not to laugh. I can’t tell.

“This is not your concern, Reverend,” Jean Paul spits, and Vangie agrees with him. Although she knows that she will one day die on the Island of Evil, she feels that the séance is her duty as the Conjure Woman.

Matt once again reveals his status as the Fool (or, rather, le Mat) when he remarks that Jean Paul and Jacques are indistinguishable “except by [their] manner of dress.” Evidently, he hasn’t considered the possibility that THE DEVIL JACQUES ELOI DES MONDES can possess Jean Paul and thus wear the exact same clothes as him. In fact, Padre, he’s worn that same extremely flattering blue suit before when talking to you, and you don’t even know it.

Jean Paul orders Vangie to begin the séance and we get a lovely overhead shot of the glass-top table. I’ve already posted high-quality photos of the table, but I love it so much that the laws of obsessive fandom require me to post it again:

Oh, how I love that table and those chairs. Actually, I love the whole Maljardin set.

Jean Paul volunteers to help Vangie, Raxl, and Quito set up, which seems to surprise them because otherwise he spends no time cleaning up after himself and all his time brooding, throwing glasses at priceless artifacts, and--of course--getting possessed. Elizabeth and Holly see them setting up, and the former heads down the stairs to watch.

Elizabeth is wearing this fabulous ensemble with a checkered dress and a red scarf pinned with a brooch in the shape of a dahlia. It most likely came from her actress Paisley Maxwell’s own wardrobe, as she mostly wore her own clothes on the show and even provided some costumes for the other actresses. (LINK CONTAINS SPOILERS THROUGH THE END OF MALJARDIN)

A shot with a better view of her brooch.

Vangie tells Jean Paul that the room needs to be dark, and that the only light in the room during the ceremony should be candlelight. Cue Jean Paul glancing up to the chandelier precariously suspended directly over the glass-top table:

If this isn’t painfully obvious foreshadowing, then I don't know what is.

The chandelier even sways ever so slightly as he stares at it!

Holly asks if she, her mother, Dan, and Tim can attend, and Vangie tells them no! According to her, they are all “disruptive influences” who will derail the séance, which will likely be too frightening for her anyway. Jean Paul tells Elizabeth to go, too, which she takes as a personal attack because Jacques has tricked her into believing that he’s in love with her.

LMAO

They are almost ready to begin the ceremony, but first, we need more blatant foreshadowing! We need Jean Paul to glance up at the swaying chandelier again, apparently without thinking of the slight chance that it might fall and cause an accident:

Seriously, Jean Paul? You have an IQ of 187. You should know better.

This is some heavy-handed foreshadowing, even for a show that constantly reminds us that Jacques Eloi des Mondes is THE DEVIL and cuts to close-ups of him every other time THE DEVIL is mentioned. I think you can guess what will happen about halfway through this episode. I normally try to avoid spoilers and to warn about any that I include or link to, but let’s face it. You know that chandelier is going to come crashing down at some point in the episode, because of all the emphasis that the script and the cinematography have already put on it. It’s a foregone conclusion. And I’m sorry, but Jean Paul with his alleged super-genius IQ has no excuse. Move the table! Have Quito tighten the chain! Replace the chandelier with a single candle or small candelabrum on the table! Do something to lower the chances of the accident that we all know is coming!

Vangie begins the séance to contact Erica.

After commercial break (hence the lack of the Drive-In Classics logo), the séance begins. We have Jean Paul, Vangie, Raxl, and Quito, plus Alison and Matt and an empty chair for Erica’s spirit. It’s a marvelous scene with just the right amount of eerie atmosphere, which Vangie’s hypnotic voice only enhances. They bridge the divide between the worlds of the living and the dead and all seems like it will succeed, but then

The third one is my favorite.

Jean Paul contorts his face again as he tries to resist Jacques’ possession of him, but ultimately his efforts are in vain:

Jacques’ beringed hand attacking Jean Paul. This also means that the chain created when the séance participants joined hands has been broken.

Matt asks Jean Paul what’s wrong and Jacques answers. “Everything is under control now,” he whispers with evil relish.

“No! Not now! NOT NOW!” Vangie screams, and then comes the inevitable:

Well, there goes one of Jean Paul’s astrological sign tables. Good thing he has another in storage.

I’m not going to lie: the first time I watched this scene, I shouted “No!” when the chandelier fell, even though I could see it coming. Somehow, despite the foregone conclusion and Jean Paul’s ridiculous headache faces, the scene creates enough suspense and horror to be effective. Plus, if you’re like me, you care about Vangie and don’t want to see anyone hurt her, even if that someone is 6′4″ with amazing cheekbones, a devilishly sexy smile, and the most beautiful hands on any man living or dead.

The power also goes out at the same time, and the handsome devil denies all responsibility for it despite his history of screwing with the electricity:

Classic Jacques sarcasm.

Conveniently, the lights come back on a moment later. They come just in time for Alison and Matt to tend to Vangie, whom the chandelier has knocked unconscious:

You can tell her injury is serious even before her close-up, because the Reverend is in shirtsleeves.

A close-up, showing the blood on Vangie’s forehead.

Jacques tells Holly that there was nothing seriously wrong with the electricity, and Dan flips out on him, insisting that “one day you’re going to blow us all up.” (Does he suspect that Jean Paul is somehow playing with the lights?) Jacques insists that even he can’t afford to buy a nuclear weapon. The fact that he knows what a nuclear weapon is serves as yet more evidence that he’s really the Devil and not a ghost from the 17th century (although, if he were a ghost, perhaps he would have overheard Jean Paul talking about nuclear weapons before).

I think that this is one of maybe two times that I ever envied Holly.

Vangie stands up, but doesn’t say a word to any of the characters, just stares blankly ahead of her. She doesn’t even react when Alison slaps her. Jacques cruelly snaps his fingers in front of her, which Alison demands he not do because it might cause her to be “destroyed, locked into a world of darkness, less living than dead.” She adds that “[she] can’t help but thinking that what happened to her is so like [Quito],” and turns to face the zombie who is watching the now cataleptic Conjure Woman, horrified:

It makes you wonder what sort of traumatic memories from Quito’s human life the sight of Jacques turning Vangie into a zombie evoked. Also, we never learn who turned Quito into a zombie in the show canon, but this scene shows that Jacques knows how and is therefore a possible candidate.

This is yet another point where the plot of the aired episodes differs from the original story as indicated in the Lost Episode summaries. In the original Episode 36, Vangie would have revealed Jacques’ possession of Jean Paul to all the participants at the séance, thus confirming for Raxl that Jean Paul is two different men. I suspect that Matt would refuse to believe it because of his lack of belief in devils and Dan because it sounds irrational and like a cover-up for Jean Paul’s alleged crimes, but Raxl, Vangie, and possibly Alison would have the evidence they needed.

Anyway, Jacques and most of the others leave Quito to clean up the mess while they have some drinks in the dining room. Mostly, it’s Jacques trying to pressure everyone into drinking while trying to gaslight them into believing that there was a storm outside even though there wasn’t. They’re not buying it, least of all Dan, who now has yet another reason to be suspicious of him.

I should also add that Part 3 of the YouTube version of this episode (which contains this scene) is out of sync, meaning that most of the subtitles are combined with the wrong shots and the wrong characters. Sadly, we don’t get anything on the level of “NO NO NO YES YES YES,” but the out-of-sync audio does make Dan’s accusation almost look like Jacques is confessing to making the chandelier fall:

YES YES YES

He offers brandy to both Matt and Holly, but Matt tells him not to give it to either of them, so Jacques brings the glasses he just filled over to Elizabeth instead. He starts talking about how no one was hurt, meaning that she has to remind him that Vangie was injured. Still, “she wasn’t really seriously injured,” so I guess for him it doesn’t count. He sends her away and starts to drink, which I guess lets Jean Paul recover his body because he de-possesses him, finally letting Jean Paul see the mess he left behind.

I already posted a lot of headache faces in this entry, so here I’m just going to include my favorite from this scene.

For a moment, Jean Paul looks like he’s going to cry, but his sadness turns to shock when Quito shows him the writing box. The wooden box which previously only held sand, now bears a message written in grains of rice in the shape of the symbol of the Great Serpent. Quito appears terrified by the message, but sadly he can’t translate it for Jean Paul. Raxl, too, freaks out when she sees it and says it’s “from the Conjure Man, but he needs the Conjure Woman to translate it and she’s still in a trance!”

Apparently, the Conjure Man communicates in grains of rice.

Although she can’t translate the whole message, she can tell Jean Paul, “It tells of more accidents. Spirits are very angry...with you!”

This final scene, like the scene with the crashing chandelier, is genuinely chilling, resulting in one of the scariest episodes of the Maljardin arc. This is one of SP’s finest episodes and certainly one of Ian Martin’s finest from his nine-week period as headwriter. I’m not certain what led the producers to decide to have Vangie enter a trance instead of revealing Jacques’ possession to the other characters, but most likely it was to increase the suspense and the terror. Also, I’m starting to wonder if perhaps Quito isn’t actually undead, but instead is an immortal like Raxl (and Vangie?), but stuck in a magically-induced trance. Perhaps when he recoiled in fear over Vangie’s transformation, it was because Jacques (or perhaps the Conjure Man) did the same exact thing to him three centuries ago.

Coming up next: Jacques continues to meddle in affairs on Maljardin while Raxl struggles to interpret the writing box. (But before then--hopefully--the next part of my review of Shadow Over Seventh Heaven.)
