@tsaritsakisser Such a perfect foil to Asat Pramad, whose defense mechanism involves reality warping to force bad outcomes for opponents. He is the perfect, most challenging prey for her specifically.
@TheBlackLayers Even if Sam Levinson hadn’t settled on this ending at that time, it was clear that Rue’s story was a cautionary tale. Many people feel shafted because they were rooting for a flawed character on the condition that they triumphed over their demons, which I find a bit disheartening
It’s crazy how if you fuck your life up as a teenager you can’t come back from it. It’s also crazy how if you fuck your life up in your 20s you can’t come back from it. I recommend not fucking up
Late Night was her dream, her love of comedy is the passion that fuels her life. Being able to live for comedy without the framework of her ambition is a much happier outcome for her character than ending her arc on a singular goal.
🙈 S4 should have been S5. I think the Late Night represents the highest point Deborah could realistically reach as a comedian, and the ending—with Deborah quitting Late Night for Ava—would have had a much greater impact. That climax is far more powerful than the Central Park
S02E03 was my personal favorite. We got:
• Cal’s high school flashback
• Cal confronting Fezco
• THE bathroom scene
• Rue getting Laurie to front her the suitcase
Incredibly quotable episode.
@cinzivn I don’t believe we know everything about Himeko just yet. It stands to reason that she would disclose her full backstory to her Trailblaze companions, not in an exchange with Asat Pramad.
@moonelation I love that Yao Guang’s strategy from the get go was to stack as many variables as possible—she’s trying to beat Asat Pramad at his own game.
@kidmanslover Totally! I did a rewatch just before the season started airing, which put me in the perfect state to enjoy each reference to past storylines
