Mitski's "Bug Like An Angel" has surpassed Caroline Polachek's "Bunny Is A Rider" and is now the most-streamed song on Spotify that is a lead single with a title where a subject is compared to another subject AND is on an orangey album cover where the artist is NOT seen standing!
Whatever I said about heated rivalry on the pod disregard that: having watched all the available episodes these are my opinions:
1. Connor Storrie’s Russian pronunciation is so damn impressive for a non-native speaker. And he speaks a lot of Russian in these last episodes. (The only issue I think is the writing—a lot of the dialogue does not read authentically Russian e.g. he would surely call his girlfriend Sveta and not Svetlana. But I could be wrong)
2. Spoiler: the kiss on the ice, while riveting (I screamed) is not based in any reality on earth that I know of. But WHO CARES? I want and need a hot gay fantasy that doesn’t end in assault, murder, or AIDS.
3. And to that point, if this season ends with some curveball tragedy I will send a strongly worded letter to my congressman and I encourage you to do the same.
Lastly, I hope these actors are doing great and having the time of their lives. I hope it gets 3 more seasons. If you’re a network exec and you’re thinking about cancelling this show: DONT DO IT LITTLE GIRL!
today i was at a group meeting and we were asked to share a talent we have. i went first and described "the claw," my ability to reach into my big messy bag and pull out exactly what i want. the girl after me shared that she speaks 10 languages and is now learning her 11th
