so the latest two episodes have perfectly showcased my main problem with the series and what i think is its greatest weakness. i truly could not care about absolute faithfulness to the source material as long as something fun and innovative is happening on screen and… it’s not! and part of that is because the show refuses to let there be any goddamn mystery about the greek myths and monsters of the week

all the episodes so far have had a formula: monsters must be immediately identified and exposition must be delivered. there is zero tension. we get boinked over the head with a lesson about something related to family. the monster is easily defeated/escaped with a poorly shot action scene. rinse and repeat as necessary.

medusa’s appearance is really the only one this formula worked for because they set up it right away in the beginning and she’s a greek myth most people could name, so making her a mystery is kind of a moot point.

but there’s no excuse to at least try to make everything else actually scary and strange and mysterious! actually let your show have some tension! let the audience work their brains for a bit! it’s fine!

(annabeth “knowing everything” isn’t a good enough reason either because she’s TWELVE and hasn’t been in the real world for years and these monsters have been clever enough to disguise themselves and kill demigods for years and years and MAYBE IT’S CHARACTER GROWTH TO LET HER BE WRONG)

anyway can we get some TV directors with action experience and a better script next season plz

#pjo tv show #jess watches pjo #PJO tv #i have Thoughts #someone get richard out of the writer’s room next season #the show is fun when they go off script for a bit and let the kids be kids

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself.#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024?#and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex.#°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄#some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out?#good to know

The cutaway from Luke saying, “When it’s time, he’s gonna be ready. I know it,” to Percy standing on a rock, flossing is PEAK COMEDY

I saw people on Twitter complaining about the way Hades talked calmly with Percy. Guys, Ares is the one who hates children, and even he tried to be nice to them. They are twelve year old kids, the gods know how to talk to them to get what they want

Don't get carried away by sympathy, Hades is not innocent, he knew exactly what he was doing there. The pomegranate juice was a joke, but a reminder that he's smart. He was being nice for a purpose.

#That's why our guardians teach us not to trust strangers even if they seem “nice”#by the way i saw people talking rubbish about my dear Dionysus again you guys leave him alone #the way things are going soon I'll be defending Hera from the fandom #but i agree that Disney made the script have to be too fast #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians spoilers #pjo tv show #pjo #percy jackson #pjo series #hades pjo #ares pjo #pjo fandom

So bottom line is Ryan Guzman can act straight but chooses not to when he’s playing Eddie Diaz,,, ok then

#I just think it’s interesting #like if the script ‘clearly’ makes him a straight dude #and he has THAT scene with JLo #then he clearly CAN act straight right #right sooooo #what’s going on here?#buddie #911 fox #eddie diaz #evan buckley #911 #911 tv show #buck x eddie #evan buck buckley #buck and eddie #911 abc #911 buddie

I personally like the changes in episode 6 because we have seen what happens in the books and the movies but with this new take even hardcore pjo fans get to experience suspense i mean we get to experience something new! idk why some people are mad they are taking creative liberties with the show like why would u want to watch the same thing take place for the third time?? and especially when the creator of the series is the one altering the plot to have it better suited to this gen

#the books came out like 20 years ago and the show has been nothing but faithful to the original material #everyone is entitled to their own opinion ofc but outright bashing the script is so not fair #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson show #percy jackson series #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show

they girlbossed Sally Jackson

#pjo #pjo tv #riordanverse #sally jackson #this shall be my non-spoiler only review of the show so far #just watched the first two episodes - they were good!#i might make a post about Percy's char so far cause i am very pleasantly surprised so far with the adhd experience vibes #my compliments to the writing team for the good good disabled character rep in this script #very pleased with almost all the characters and plot so far #my only one i'm iffy on is Sally as mentioned ^ they girlbossed her #like. book sally is most defined by her kindness and perseverance. this sally is just kind of. tough. she's tough. girlboss.#which is not necessarily a bad thing? she's still a fine character she's just different #also only semi-spoiler in my review: Chris is there! Love that Chris is there #he's just there! but i am a rogue demigod enjoyer #so his presence alone is appreciated

Twitter is throwing a tantrum that TikTokkers are struggling to infer Annabeth's love of architecture from the show, saying that they have no literacy comprehension.

Except the TikTokkers are right lol

Annabeth lists ten facts about a building and immediately says it's a temple to Athena. She doesn't sound excited when she says it, she sounds mildly interested. She doesn't derail the group's quest because she's always wanted to visit, she brings them there because Percy's been poisoned.

To the regular viewer, it does not sound like she has an obsession with architecture. It sounds like she just knows this stuff because 1) She's an Athena child and it's a temple to Athena, 2) because the show told her she was smart in like episode two.

Annabeth doesn't rush around giddily, looking around and staring. She just kinda stands there. Where's the excitement and enthusiasm? Leah is a great actor, but these directors and writers are ass. We don't need to see Annabeth in stoic, calm dramatic silence. We need to see her be excited about her literal obsession, her literal hyperfixation!

It's also worth noting that Annabeth only talks about buildings ONCE. She doesn't say she likes architecture, she doesn't read her architecture books, we don't see her talking about the buildings they pass, we don't hear anything about Athena being the goddess of architecture, NOTHING. This is the FIRST time we've ever heard Annabeth talk about architecture and she is literally just listing facts.

Every time a new episode comes out, I become firmly more and more convinced that Twitter is watching a different show to me. Stop sucking this shows dick and actually THINK about the complaints.

let's be honest for a sec did anyone actually watch the outsiders TV series because I genuinely don't trust it

#i once was reading the descriptions of each episode and the one was saying that soda got a girl pregnant so i was immediately like WHAAAT #hinton didn't participate in the script writing so I'm not really sure if it's even worth it #though i don't trust hinton either #it's just ain't the same without johnny n dally #the outsiders #dallas winston #the outsiders 1983 #johnny cade #ponyboy curtis #se hinton #the outsiders TV show #nickyapping

The Original Uncut Script for ✨The Bear’s Pilot Episode✨ and 🔥Bonus Scenes🔥 I found from it!

- No. 1. Something about Richie being introduced to us as “40, Asshole, Beef Shirt” is poetic to me.

2. Carmy is apparently a lil sneakerhead! Cute!

3. CARMY PUNCHED SOMEONE AT EMP IN NEW YORK? I KNEW IT

4. Apparently Carmy was supposed to have a blow up in front of everyone and scare ts outta them EP 1 😳🤣👀 I feel like they wrote that off to surprise us when Carmy really lost it in the last few episodes of season 1 but damn… also SydCarmy had a lil moment 👀

5. Richie kinda inadvertently scared Sydney… put his hand on her waist, what was he thinking? Thank God he’s made a change for the better, he’s much more respectful now.

#love this show #sydcarmy moments in there…#sydcarmy #sydney adamu #carmy x sydney #carmy berzatto #syd x carmy #carmy the bear #carmy smut #the bear #the bear tv #x black reader #black women #richie jerimovich #ayo edebiri #ebon moss bachrach #jeremy allen white #scriptwriting #constructed script

The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit Script

Ok, so with this being not just my favorite episode of Who, but I will put it up against ALL of television (even the body swap episode of Farscape). Sorry this is long, but y'all have no idea how much I fucking love this 2 parter. I just really wish I could go back in time and re-watch this again for the first time. This was also right when I got into Firefly, and I was just so amazed at how similar these two episodes were to that series--and the music was just fantastic for this, so similar to Firefly too!

Little bits of this--Jesus, I loved that scene with the way the Doctor looks at Rose.

Ok, so this is the 2nd script I've ever read in my life, and I'm comparing it to GitF (see previous post on that train wreck) and I just have to say it shows how much different the writing style is--and David and Billie really do love their characters--so much of the nuances they bring to the Doctor and Rose aren't really in the script--like the writer just trusted the actors to do their jobs or something.

This is why Rose will always be better than me. Sure, I'd probably try to comfort Toby, but I'd stay the fuck away from that boy. Yeah, no--sorry about the possession, but no huggies for you.

HERE WE GO:

If I am not mistaken, and I only got into Doctor Who way back when it was on Netflix, and it was just the first two seasons (I had to scramble around on YouTube and get S3 and S4 and this was back when the episodes were just in like little 15m bits, fuck I'm old.)

Telling you that to say that I literally must have punched the air and screamed in delight when this scene happened.

HERO SHOT! Fucking adore this!

Wow, so there's really no other direction on what the actors needed to do in this scene--so all that amazing looks that the Doctor and Rose were giving each other--that's all David and Billie.

Ok, sorry this got long--but as I have very little understanding of scripts and acting and filming in general, this was so much fun to read.

I might look at Fear Her next because I am definitely curious to see how much of the script said things vs what the actors did.

#doctor who #rose tyler #tenth doctor #ten x rose #ten/rose #tenrose #ten rose #doctor x rose #the impossible planet #the satan pit #my favorite tv episodes ever #those two are so much in love and it shows #BBC script

ive never actually watched anything gordon ramsey (except chef jr) so i thought id check out kitchen nightmares

it is WILD how different the british 2004 version is from the american 2007 version oh my god

and its not because "ooh americans are insane"

the british one (at least the first few episodes ive seen) is a little depressing, because they didnt do a good job framing a narrative arc. a restaurant is suffering believable problems, ramsey comes in, fixes the restaurant...and then theres a check in a month later to reveal that it went back to shit the second he left. it's honest, but not very fun television.

the american one has the opposite problem. i actually couldnt even get through the first episode because it's so over-the-top obviously staged bullshit. like i can practically SEE the director off screen saying "yes! now everyone shout at once!" and theres a cheesy narrator telling me EXACTLY what i'm supposed to feel at all times. i guess its probably entertaining for some people, but my god i can actively feel my brain going numb at how stupid and substanceless it is.

like, i know reality tv is a shithole, but surely there was a middle ground here, where they told mostly real stories, but with a little bit more editing flare to give it a satisfying emotional arc.

#i cant stand reality tv because in general i do NOT enjoy watching people shout #and i hate how its faked. like. actors in a fiction show might really be friends.#but these people certainly actually hate each other irl and thats uncomfortable #because they arent SCRIPTED to have drama they are EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATED until drama happens #im gonna keep watching the british one #in the hopes that they hit that sweet spot at some point before going nuts with the fake bullshit
