Because I missed the rewatch for the beginning of season 3, im dropping my live reactions below for the first two episodes. Season 3 is my favorite season so very excited we're here for the rewatch. This is the season I started watching live but I don't think I caught up until like 3x06.
3x01, The Big Chill:
I really love the cut from Owen's "and we never give up ... Until hell freezes over" to the blizzard like 7 months later.
I feel like we start with the turtle people too early. The amount of screen time that passes between them discovering the kid under the ice to when TNT gets there feels waaaaaaay too long. One of the more clunky pacing issues for me.
I don't love the Paragon Blue on any of TNT 😭
The camera work on the Paragon boss saying "this company's mission is to not only provide elite care but quality comfort" as he walks in front of the mission statement on the wall is top tier. That's comedy
Ahhh I never noticed Nancy using a ginger beer substitute for TK 🥺🥺🥺 best friends
I wonder how many 126 hangs they've done since the break up. Or is this one the first one?
The LACK of PAINT on Judd's PAINTBRUSH is so funny
Just noticed: Marjan's insta handle is @ *FIRE*FOXX*
Haha I love natacha's line reading of "where it just ... Started snowing?!"
Really do love the parallel of Carlos arresting marjan like he arrested michelle
"it's important to know when a thing is over" BUT I KNOW YOU'RE DYING INSIDE
I remember being so excited for Julie Benz when she showed up in this show. But I hate what they do with her later in the season. She doesn't really give off stalker vibes in these episodes. I am very tickled by the fact that Julie Benz, Gina Torres, and later Amy Acker are all in this show. Just needed them to all share a scene for a true Angel reunion.
Love TNT briefly running into Mateo on the ice beheading scene. Their little waves to each other and the "good to see you too" is so sweet and sad
Marjan tells Billy that #firefoxx is back up to 7 million followers. What does this mean? Does she mean her Instagram followers? Why is it "back up" to that number? Why did it go down? I know theres probably a way to follow a hash tag on certain sites but shes exclusively always talking about insta. Can you do that there?
Packing ice dude's wound with snow is unsanitary, no?
Once again I am asking Lone Star to stack the bench of the 911 call center. I need to get to know more of them than just grace!!!
These veterans laughing at Carlos are so in the right. Lol sorry Carlos but lower your fucking gun please!!
"we get snow days now?" 😭😭😭😭
I love seeing Carlos going from call to call and helping people where he can
Grace drinks chamomile 😍😍😍
Making coffee with twigs??
Lol at Nancy using the almost ice decapitated man to dig for information about the Tarlos break up 😭😭😭
GOD CARLOS AND TK INTERACTING IS SO AWKWARD get me out of this hell!!!!!!!!!
I'm torn between hating the break up and knowing there's so much good fic out there that covers the break up better than the show did!!
It is really cool to see multiple firehouses coming together to help with the collapsed roof.
Judd watching Frozen in preparation for having a daughter when Charlie is still a few years away from even retaining Frozen 😭😭😭😭
The last time TK sees Carlos before he becomes a Popsicle is Carlos rushing out of the furniture store, off to an emergency Carlos barely explains. Idk why thats a matter of note but he must have been like, what the hell was that all about. and then 🥶
Paul getting buried was such a gnarly moment
For real though, we don't even make it back to the turtle people in the first episode?????? Idk, i feel like the build up to that rescue isn't necessary. It's too long of one.
3x02: Thin Ice
starting on the kid in episode 2 starts the build up over so seeing the turtle people first feels even more unnecessary.
I don't know fire fighter protocol but would it actually be okay for Mateo to stay behind at the roof collapse and not go with his house when they are called elsewhere?
I think what also makes the boy ice rescue feel so long and so unrealistic is that the close of the cold open ends with the turtle crawling over the boys face. The next time we get back to that rescue, grace picks up the 911 call from the woman who has already gone a whole block away to call from a landline. There's a disconnect in the scenes here. With the couples discovery of the boy being the first scene of the previous episode, it's unclear how much time has passed since the boy went under. She tells grace it's been at least 5 minutes since they showed up on the scene but since they split up the scenes of the boy going under and the couple showing up there's a lapse in urgency. I think this would have worked so much better if they just cut the discovery of the boy from episode 1 and just put it in 3x02 in chronological order of events. And then it cuts to TNT arriving but theres no indication of how much more time has passed. It's really kinda annoying. As an audience member all I can think about is the boy being underwater and the show taking their sweet ass time to get around to this rescue.
Every time TK says "I was a fire fighter in New York" all I hear is Britta's "I lived in New York" throughout the run of Community. 😭😭
Gahhhh and we don't even go back right back to that rescue after commercial break. Sorry ya'll I never realized how much this pacing bothers me until I decided I was gonna live blog this.
These episodes are such great Paul episodes. I feel like that gets kinda lost in all the Tarlos drama.
This girl Lindsey has such low self esteem. Her and Paul's interactions throughout this episode is such a wonderful little story of finding confidence. They should bring her back at some point so we can see her thriving!!
For once can we see TK do a cool rescue where he doesn't end up mortally injured??
It bugs me that none of these people are wearing hats or scarves or anything
I saw someone else say this on here and I apologize for forgetting who it was but it is kinda weird that these paramedics don't get TK to perform any warming techniques after that dip into the water though I suppose they all three are more concerned about the boy, which is understandable. Still ... Kinda weird to not be able to multi task as medical first responders
And still no reaction from TK's "I can relate" comment. Hes literally sitting there shaking!!! Lol
Ok like I know there are stories of people surviving drownings even though they were under for awhile. It's just the pace of this rescue stretches it out soooooo long that it seems unrealistic especially with how the kid just wakes up coughing a bit of water. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
The way you can see TK walking off in the top left corner of the screen 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Sometimes I just gotta laugh when the show has the paramedics spout off all the medical buzzwords so the audience understands what's happening. Tommy explaining the symptoms of severe hypothermia TO TK is so funny for this reason. He knows, Tommy knows, Nancy knows, so let's hop to it but only after we explain it to the audience 😭😭😭😭
I do so love this kinda angst though 😍😍😍
Funny that Paul takes his wet coat off only to then give it to Lindsey even though the point was to take off the wet clothes 😭
Lol Paul's "miss that dude" in regards to Owen is kinda funny. Kinda wish Paul said something about TNT too but he was dying so I'll let it pass
What does Judd have against chamomile tea????? That's perfect for a snowy day AND personally I think it would be great for a stressful job like being a 911 operator
Nancy immediately hugging Carlos gives me so many feels 🥺🥺🥺
Carlos coming to the hospital anyway and being all exasperated and like "mehh of course he only wants me here because he's in the icu 😤" like hes not actually worried as fuck !!!!!
"we need to find his father" BUT THEN WE BARELY GET ANY OF OWEN AT THE HOSPITAL!!!
Ugh Owen, lol

Favorite movie of the 80s?
the big chill (1983) might be my favorite movie of all time!
Tumblr media
it's such a classic! amazing actors early in their careers (kevin kline, glenn close, jeff goldblum, so many more!!), the reunion of dear friends and deconstructing grief and the meaning or absence of meaning in life and growing up and who we were vs who we are now is just!!!!! so much!!!!!
i can't believe i loved it before i went to college and then i joined a co-ed fraternity that indeed made me ask "how much love, sex, fun, and friendship" can a group of people take... and we get together now as adults, thankfully under less tragic circumstances (the frame of the story is that they have reunited after the death of one of their friends from suicide).
it's SUCH a master class in characters. it really is just Hanging Out so there's no action or anything, but i think for people who love fanfic (focusing on character and emotion and deconstructing Events that have happened before the story starts) and the concept of nostalgia (even though this isn't MY era of nostalgia and probably isn't yours)... it's so so good. if you love it let's talk about it please!! if you hate it don't tell me.
youtube
edit: thank you to @spikeygorgeous for reminding me that i didn't mention the soundtrack absolutely makes this movie. perhaps soundtrack of all time?????

Aw man, am I going to have to write the essay myself on The Big Chill and the surprisingly enlightened depiction of non monogamy in this movie?

The Big Chill (1983). A group of seven former college friends gather for a weekend reunion at a South Carolina vacation home after the funeral of another of their college friends.
Baffled by how many people dislike this one - the cast and the soundtrack alone are pretty magic. Yes, it's flawed and a product of its time, but it's also a lot of fun, with some really delightful dynamics between characters who might be annoying, but are also pretty charming in the hands of the actors. A really fun one to rewatch. 8/10.
