Summary:
And Curt knew - of course he knew - that things were different when you were a big deal in the music industry, but he never realized how true that was until Brian entered his life and changed everything. And now, even after months touring alongside Brian, one of the many things that still baffled Curt was all the extra shit surrounding them during all times, in all possible ways.
You know, there is one thing that bugged me a lot about the ending of The Cursed Child (spoilers ahead)
I’m not even talking about all the problems this play have, but the whole Scorpius/Rose bussiness - I wouldn’t mind the pairing too much if Rose was at least amicable to Scorpius during the play, but she doesn’t want to be nowhere near him? She doesn’t like him at all? Why would you do the awful trope of “if she says she doesn’t like me, she must secretly like me/i will convince her to like me”, like this is so frustrating
And this whole bussiness about “well, pity is a start” I mean no?? Pity is NOT a fucking good start for a romance, what kind of bullshit is this
So
My script was read in class yesterday, and it went actually much better than I had thought it would [mostly because there were just a few people on class yesterday and because I didn’t had to read 85 pages on my own, the reading was split between my colleagues]
All in all was actually a good experience, and I’m thinking about continuing to work in this script.
My teacher and lots of my colleagues told me they liked the story and had a lot of compliments, and I was so happy with it because I was so, so very nervous before. And I’m usually very sensitive to criticism (which yeah… it’s not a good thing) but I actually took pretty well the critiques they made. Some of them I even noticed as I was writing, but I didn’t had the time to come back to fix it. We had a very short time to write it and this semester is full, so I practically wrote this entire thing in two days.
The worst part, really, was when my teacher kind of suggested that I should kill my other protagonist, and no. Nope. I’m not killing any lesbians here. No lesbians dying on my watch.
I really enjoy Richard Armitage’s performance as Dolarhyde. He manages to convince me when he’s playing the tormented, fearful man and when he’s playing the cold blooded, merciless serial killer. The scene when he invades Molly’s house is always quite scary.
Speaking about Molly, she’s such a badass - it never ceases to amaze me how quickly she took control of the situation and managed to save herself and her son from a really dangerous, really competent killer.
I’m not fortune’s fool. I’m yours.
I love this quote so much - this entire scene actually. Will keeps trying to convince Hannibal saying things like “tell me who they are, we can save this family” and Hannibal just have this “do I look like I care” expression all the time and despite the serious tone of the scene, I can’t help but find it funny
They’re not my family, Will. And I’m not letting them die - you are. Hannibal, Hannibal, you DICK.
Generally speaking, I love Barclay so much because the guy is literally my representation if I lived in the Star Trek universe, but I really wish they hadn’t put romantic overtones with Deanna’s hologram in ‘Hollow Pursuits’. It was unnecessarily creepy - really, really unnecessarily
The sex scene between Reba and Francis are always so visually pleasing to watch. Everything is just so gorgeous, especially when Reba is glowing like a sun - it’s truly beautiful. I’m actually enjoying more all the scenes with Reba and Francis in this rewatch - I liked the first time around, but now I’m liking even more.
But the highlight of this episode is Bedelia, of course. I never ever get tired of all the Will/Bedelia interactions. Bedelia just likes to throw all the harsh truths in Will’s face and he is so damn bitchy and salty with her all the time, it’s so much fun to watch. I get that Will have a big thing for retribution (Even Steven/You play, you pay) and that he’s pissed that Bedelia played like he played but never got the consequences that he had, but damn dude, tone it down a little
I just listened to “Torchwood: Conspiracy” and I really liked it. The plot was very interesting and kept me interested during all the episode, and I’m usually very distracted in audio dramas, so it’s a big thing. But the end was very… abrupt? I hope they will revisit this plot in the later audio dramas.
But it’s just really, really awesome to have Torchwood back ~~
