All caught up until Thursday. I'm really enjoying it so far!

This one was a slow burn due in part to its lengthy run time, but it's well acted and I enjoyed the concept.

I was prepared to call it overrated like a good third of you guys, but then I rewatched it and the ending almost made me cry (again). Dammit.

Guys

Prepare to get no decent sleep for a week or two if you just adopted a very young dog. It'll be worth it in the end, but the first month of owning a young dog is rough to say the least.

Ooh two genocidal racists enabled by the current standards of their own society at a certain point in time. I'm going with Judge Claude Frollo because I didn't see Stormfront ever consider chucking a baby down a well to its doom.

And I thought yesterday's (Wordle 832 5/6) was bad. This one was just cruel.

I think this is part of what makes this episode fall flat. Like a teenager masturbating to child porn on his computer is awful, obviously, but is it "be forced into a televised fight to the death with a grown man" awful?

Part of what made White Bear work is that the protagonist was revealed to be someone who kidnapped, abused and then murdered a child, and the weight of those actions almost makes understandable why the town does what they do

Then this episode tries to pull the same "gotcha" moment but with a much weaker premise and it just didn't land at all

See that's the exact opposite of how I feel about White Bear. It's way overdone because she played a part in that child's suffering, but she was confirmed to be the accomplice and not the main perp. The man who killed himself in prison deserved every bit of that punishment, and while she deserved... something for conspiring with him that wadn't it , chief.

9.3

I rewatched it yesterday and enjoyed it immensely. Some of the things you don't pick up on the first time around are absolutely chilling like the way Kenny dwells a bit too long on that kid's menu like he's thinking about the child that filled in the activities sheet *shudder*. It's so interesting how they frame him in such a sympathetic manner throughout the duration only to reveal toward the end that he's a disgusting deviant who deserves everything that's happened to him. Even remembering what I did I still somehow felt sorry for him when he was forced to rob the bank at gunpoint. The kid went through it.

I'm halfway through season 2 now, and I've gotta say the magic is still there. It must have been some time around the 3rd season where the writing quality must have dipped and I lost interest. I remember one really annoying gag involving King Zog having PTSD from being buried alive that went on entirely too long to have never been funny to begin with and I think that was my turning point.

Also I feel like I'm with @Zigzagoon in that Disenchantment eventually started focusing less and less on Bean's relationship with Luci and Elfo who are quite frankly the only characters I'd call genuinely funny, and more on her relationship with her father and biological mother which really hurt the show's quality in the later seasons. Bean's dynamic with the two of them isn't just the heart of the show- it's the entire thing! Maybe I'm just not that invested in the overarching plot, but I'm still going to get through this because of all the time I've already sunk into it.

I have an idea in mind, I just haven't had time to execute it yet!

What a day to be working the closing shift... Was anyone else not even aware of this spinoff until literally last week? The trailers make it look like the lovechild of The Boys and The New Mutants and I'm honestly a bit excited for something I'm not going to have time to watch until later this weekend.

Please put spoilers in tags if you watch it before me, but let me know how it stacks up to the mainline series.

You thought I forgot didn't you? Well I did!

Well that was... a less than stellar organic run. After hiding for half the game Tidus went on a complete tear near the end, obliterating most of my top ten right before the top ten.

Yeah that's hilarious

Huh. I thought he had been done already. Yeah I like him.

I dont think thats supposed to be the implication about his parents. I think the implication is that his mother is also suffering from dementia and he left because he couldnt deal with that.

Ah. Well the point still stands in that I just wasn't invested emotionally enough to give a god damn.

Genny - I know your six finals votes were due to NRs, but you also could've easily gone the full 10-6 for Locke if you really wanted to, and thank you for playing the final how you did, for whatever reason you had behind your decision. I can't really downplay past successes, but this is the first time since the Raytan era (where admittedly most of my successes lay) where the win feels amazing beyond just being part of a "movement" (like with Fang/Lightning).

@Inviso

One of the conditions of my offering of finals votes to push Red into the top 4 was that I would only save a maximum of 10 times in the final. I might be a bit chaotic at times, but on the whole I am a woman of my word. And d'awww you're welcome. I'm still salty that Cute Waifu Fall prevailed over HGS, and I'm still very jelly of your track record of both getting to the finals and stacking crowns, but admittedly your heartfelt gratitude does take the edge off a bit. Congratulations again! Your favorite character better not shift when you play more XIV or XVI or I'm going to refer to you as Invisewars from then on. (That's a gauntlet crew in-joke for those of you not in the know)

Finally I'm all caught up

Nosedive: 7/10

I was surprised how very little I remembered this episode despite it heavily featuring Bryce Dallas Howard in a very distinct role among other things. It took me a good half hour into the episode, which is a little under halfway through the duration, for all the memories to come flooding back in. The social commentary is a bit heavy-handed, but I didn't take it 100% at face value, and rather saw it as a more sardonic view at where civilization could be headed if we stayed on our current track. This one lacks substance and cohesion, but it certainly has some very comedic moments, a good moral, and a cathartic ending.

Playtest: 6.5/10

The main character here, Kipper (Was that his name, and if so who did him that dirty?) feels like such a British stereotype of what an American tourist would be like it's almost impossible to watch him without cringing. His mannerisms, stutter (is it a nervous stutter or does he intentionally repeat himself on occasion for added emphasis?), and his frat boy laugh make it really hard for me to invest in him as a character which takes away the emotional impact at the end because I get the feeling I was supposed to care that he lied about which parent was suffering from Alzheimers and dementia, and I just... really didn't get the emotional gut punch I was supposed to. I did appreciate the mind fuck of the multi-layered mushroom tech and the more subtle existential horror elements that were hidden amongst jumpscare schlock.

This is certainly an unexpected final

A Cruel Angel's Thesis

Penelo has to be the blandest character that could still qualify for "Genki" in that entire list. She's closer to a responsible elder sister than an energetic baby sister.

Welp there goes bracket

I don't remember Vanille being on his pyramid? Only Cindy and for some reason Quistis. Then again that pyramid went through like eighteen revisions so it's possible I just missed that version.
