watching House and damn why does it sound like Tritter is flirting with House when they first meet

i'm aware that it probably has to do with the fact that they could only do 13 episodes instead of 26 but i truly wish we could have gotten more out of the bulimia storyline,, like what we got is SO GOOD ("a sammy-shaped hole?" kill me now) but i just wish it was MORE

Catherine’s Costumes in Season 3 of The Great requested by anonymous

was going through the crew for the next couple of ted lasso images the other day and was scrolling through vanessa whyte's twitter when something caught my eye

this promo image was used for season 2 promo and just the shirt behind ted

just

and sure you could say "well thats just a random shirt in the background" but its also a shirt that was put there specifically for the promo images. everything in this show is intentional.

and what else happened between s1 and s2? trent crimms storyline was solidified (from the vulture interview)

and the strips are only on the shoulders so they would be covered up by teds contrast sweater/jacket combo

something something. ask more questions. something something. be curious not judgemental. something something "A friendly match takes the team to Amsterdam, where one night out unlocks truths for many."

also throwing in this screenshot of teds tweet cause

JENSEN ACKLES as SOLDIER BOY in THE BOYS (2019- )

That's how we all saw that moment, right?

(This edit was prompted by me thinking about how Geralt would have definitely knocked over those people—who were unprepared no less—like a bunch of bowling pins and it would have been so much funnier for that to actually happen)

THOUGHTS ON THE BOYS SEASON 3 EPISODE 5!!!

KIMIKO SPOKE KIMIKO SPOKE KIMIKO SPOKE KIMIKO SPOKE

Butcher and Hughie: It’s interesting that after the V left Butcher’s system, he was shown to be concerned for Kimiko and to prioritize getting her stable over hunting Soldier Boy (even though we already know what he was planning from the moment in the van getaway when he thought back on what Soldier Boy did to Kimiko). Yet we don’t see the same concern from Hughie still. His focus instead goes immediately to trying to smooth things over with Annie and pretend the V isn’t a problem for him, that he doesn’t love it, that he wouldn’t take it again even if given the opportunity. Overall, Butcher seems more aware of the effects Temp V is having on himself and Hughie. Butcher already resigned himself early in the season though to sacrifice everything to protect Ryan, no matter what kind of person it turned him into. What he feels guilty about is leading Hughie down the same path.

I hope A-Train fucking kills Blue Hawk and this is actually a real wake up call for him of some sort. 

Hughie and Annie: The writers have been using Annie opening jars for Hughie as a metaphor for his feelings of powerless, but I think there’s another obvious angle here. Traditionally, women ask men to open jars that they can’t seem to open. The reversal in Hughie and Starlight’s relationship is also, I can’t help but feel, meant to symbolize that Hughie feels emasculated in his relationship with Annie... in other words, the writers are nodding toward this being another storyline about toxic masculinity. The thing is, I don’t think that the writers have established this as toxic masculinity yet outside of the jar metaphor. Hughie’s desire to have the power to protect people he loves, to not be a burden, and to save someone he cares about who is stuck in a horrible situation (and who has protected him over and over) is very... normal and not some kind of “toxic man” thing? It’s just a normal thing lots of people experience? In fact, at this juncture, Hughie’s storyline here comes across to me more like something typically written for a woman about taking back power. I do think the metaphor for toxic masculinity will end up being fulfilled, but in regards to how Hughie loses sight of Annie’s holistic well-being (just as he lost sight of Kimiko’s well-being) in his desire to protect her physically. More than ever, right now, she needs someone in her corner emotionally, and he’s keeping secrets and abandoning her.

FRENCHIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY didn’t you tell The Boys Little Nina was after you????

We know Soldier Boy is meant to represent toxic masculinity, but also note that he is literally toxic. He is literally radioactive and being anywhere near him poses serious health risks!! This bodes very poorly for Hughie and Butcher and Soldier Boy’s potential impact on them. In other words, the toxic masculinity might start rubbing off on them and poisoning them too as they spend more and more time with him.

Butcher and Maeve: Butcher hooking up with Maeve sealed the fact that Butcher would “get in bed with” Soldier Boy (I mean this metaphorically lol). Butcher hates supes, he tells Maeve they should all be killed while simultaneously beginning to describe how supes are just like anyone else—just like him, now that he’s crossed this line by taking V. Maeve isn’t evil, but we know this isn’t something Butcher wouldn’t normally do because of his prejudices against supes, so for him to cross that line, shows how he sees the line between himself and supes blurring to nothing while simultaneously believing there is nothing he can’t or shouldn’t do to get Homelander... This is a bad combination.

I was super surprised when Butcher drugged MM!!! At first I thought MM was being effected by Soldier Boy’s radioactivity as he approached or having a panic attack lol. MM is going to be SO FUCKING ANGRY and he has every right to be. Looking at that one clip from the trailer with Starlight attacking Soldier Boy while MM is behind her? I’m wondering if Starlight and MM will team up to try and hunt down Butcher, Hughie, and Soldier Boy and separate their friends Soldier Boy. 

You know Homelander... I graduated in business and I didn’t know what EBITDA was either lol. But this revealed Homelander’s insecurities about leadership so succinctly. He really wasn’t even being questioned, but he immediately perceived it as a threat because it revealed his ineptitude, especially after he’s probably been sitting with what Edgar told him last episode. He doesn’t even know the “supe terrorist” is Soldier Boy sitting there with the power to take his power and he’s already freaking out. It’s only going to get worse. 

Still not ready for Herogasm. o_O

You know, if it wasn't for Star Trek being an unambiguously American production, I would almost put the sheer number of times someone repeats a line of dialogue they just had spoken to them in False Profits down to a misguided attempt to do panto.

Almost.

(Really though, things become marginally more tolerable if you treat it as a panto show. "This man is a false pilgrim!" "Oh no he isn't!" "Oh yes he is!" etc. etc. Still, marginally more tolerable garbage is still garbage.)
