watched the first ep of Dead Boy Detectives today, did anyone also think the dialogue was a bit clunky?
I don't mean it was unwatchable or anything i just feel like it didn't feel realistic the way they introduced the characters and world... It felt like the dialogue was for the viewer instead of an in character thing. We were gonna be introduced to a viewer surrogate within the first few minutes, there was no need to have the characters who already know how the show's world works spell it out for nobody... and then explain it again when Crystal showed up? idk it felt like something I would write (not a complient) 馃槄

smallville was such a funny show on a meta level to me personally. it is possibly one of the reasons birthright, one of the most widely recommended superman stories, was written, or at the very least, it did have influence on it (along with silver/bronze age superboy comics). due to logistical constraints the city of metropolis is situated in kansas, within driving distance from smallville itself. every actor you can think of and then some were in it. amy adams was in it ages before she was ever picked to play lois. they had high school musical ryan as kon for a couple of episodes. fucking. princess diaries 2 andrew jacoby was there as GENERAL ZOD. tell me that doesn't sound unhinged! he was terrific zod too!! this show started the superhero tv trend of actors who previously played a character returning as one of the older generation: teri hatcher played lois's mom, and helen slater who played kara in the 1984 supergirl movie was cast as lara el (clark's biological mother). the amount of offenses to superman canon this show did is unbelievable, mxyzptlk was just. a guy. a regular guy with powers. who was from eastern europe. named mikhail. who signed off on that???? literally Everyone was an established hero before superman except for batman and that's HILARIOUS. they really tried to pull off clark and lana for most of the show like it was written by chuck austen and then dropped it within one season and a couple of episodes. if someone yells "somebody" at me I'm not continuing with all stars I'm singing "SAAAAAVE MEEEE" because that theme song is ingrained in my memory even years after watching all 10 seasons. what an incredible show i will never watch it again

god Merlin 1x04 is still peak. Merlin drinking poison instead of Arthur to save his life. Arthur disobeying his father to look for a cure no matter what. Merlin spending his whole suffering, dying, mumbling Arthur's name in his sleep begging for him to come back lest he falls into a trap. Arthur refusing to give up. Merlin casting magic to save Arthur and lead him away from the cure to save him instead. Arthur refusing to listen and endangering himself for the cure still. Arthur smuggling and hiding the cure, begging his father to give Merlin the cure even if Arthur had to be locked away for months as long as saving Merlin was possible. Arthur still smuggling the cure back to Merlin at all cost. episode 1x04 my beloved.

I remember someone pointed out Matt has done a lot of incest roles (rip) so if there was supposed to be an element of desire there Matt would have played it up. And you do see that with Rhaenyra, he is giving you man who wants to fuck his niece. Plus I would argue he did play Daemon as bi? Only there's more sexual tension in that one scene with Qarl Correy or when he's looking at that random waiter than any scene with Viserys.
"a lot of incest roles" 馃槶 i guess they are referring to that one movie where he romanced his mom and when he played prince philip 馃槶 he's a good actor! that's how he's supposed to play daemon, a man who wants to fuck his niece ashdashgdjas
to me it doesn't have to be /sexual/ for there to be /something/ between viserys and daemon. the thing is that the whole point of their relationship is that they were close once and now they aren't, that daemon wants to be close to him but viserys doesn't let him, he denies him. ships have been launched for less.
