the most unrealistic thing of season 4 episode 8 masterpeice is that....no one seemed to know the golden ratio??? besides spencer???
these people arn't idiots. Yet they have Spencer explain what the fuck the golden ratio is to them. on one hand I get it, explaining HOW he knew, on the other hand....it seems unrealistic for him to go "its this- commonly know this- and blah blah" WITHOUT someone going "No yeah we know what this is".
Cuss the golden ratio isn't some unique special only found in masters math level content. Its taught in year 3. It's found everywhere. It's one of the easiest recognisable patterns that's used in everything. And your telling me it took some shitty powerpoint type editing for Spencer to get the link. and for him to then explain it like he's talking to todlers for them to get it.
It's almost Ironic how pretentious this episode trys to come across whilst also having one of the shoddiest plots from the early seasons. cuss thats a perfect description of the killer. It's so fucking funny that I HAVE to assume its intentional.
i cannot BELIEVE they're dragging hugh jackman's corpse back into the marvel movies after promising like 50 times that this really is his last movie guys i promise no more wolverine guys he's not gonna be back again i swear. all so he can have gay sex with deadpool
the upside to immorality— ur not GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karube: I'm gonna shag ya mum Arisu: she doesn't like minors Karube: a minor issue can be fixed with something called a fuckton of white lies and imagination Arisu: that's not... Karube: call me bob the builder cuss I can fuck it
Only a man of his greatness will understand the pleasure of having a bunch of farm animals in his care.
I also feel like he uses them to prank people and or annoy the crap outa them because honestly imagine having to shovel all the crap up. That’s like the worst job- especially off carpet
I want hatter to have a cow. I want him to treat the cow like it’s his child. Like it’s a gift from the gods. I want him to find the best bell collar, decorate the ears with ribbons. Omfg imagine him like painting the hooves to match his own nail polish.
Oh and it most definitely sleeps in his bed and he sleep in a hammock hanging above him
I'm gonna be so real all I can thank about is how in an AU where they didn't all just die eventually Sarah, Rory, and Erica would simply be 'to young' for Benny and Ethan. Like socially if people saw these two 30 year olds hanging out with what looks like high school kids people would look twice.
Like sure those two dying whilst the other three remain imortal is sad. But what about all those years they do have together, but feel preasured to split apart? What about when Benny starts getting lines along his forehead and Ethan loses the baby fat on his cheeks? what happens then when Erica still has working knees, or Sarah never gets smile lines, or Rorys hands never earn calouses? Because even if Benny and Ethan decide to join them in their vampirism, that still a few years older than their friends, a few more years for them to collect these wonders of aging, a time to see their bodys become what could've been.
I both love and hate Oedipus Rex because the end is so stupid.
The whole play is (in one interpretation!) about self-identity and the battle between knowing who we are and how we are percieved by ourselves and the world around us. You'd expect for Oedipus to end the play fully relalized and yet...
By blinding himself, which, yes it is out of guilt and is a form of self-flagellation, but it also acts as a way to continue ignoring who he is. Without eyes he cannot see his children, the genetic abominations, nor does he have to see the world he has helped corrupt. He can continue to live in bliss. In his blindness he does not become Tiresias- he is not a prophet- he is just a pathetic man as scared as us to see himself in the mirror.
Episode 3 thoughts:
Having Jet and the mechanist in one episode was a risk that didn’t entirely work, but is something I am impressed with. I would NOT have written these episodes together, but I think it's a pretty interesting take. It really pits Katara and Sokka against each other in a very interesting way, whilst placing Aang in a middle ground.
I mean I HATE that they go “omg…you are the bad guy” like NO REALLY. But also like…assigning BAD and GOOD to people through just SAYING they are is soooo odd. Like no thanks. Let US work that out, have Katara be betrayed and hurt, not her just casually calling him a bad dude.
Oh also the no bending zuko vs aang fight? Pretty interesting it showed Dallas’s tallents with martial arts in a really fun way because I could actually see it beyond the fire bending! PLUS the use of props in the fighting was fun! Zuko breaking that stick off and using it, Aang defending with the plates and baskets, it was all really dynamic! Oh plus zuko being hit by a broom. Oh and then the fights in the carpet drapes!?that was filmed interestingly (though the music was…a choice).
Katara and Sokka riding the postal delivery carts up to the castle was a cute throw back to the original show, and also interestingly explored omashus own culture and how it can be used in ‘fights’. It was a neat addition rather than just walking there.
“You have my notebook” is such an odd line. I wish they went into more detail as to WHY this notebook is so important in the first few episodes because currently it means literally nothing. Like it seems to hold a log of his journey? Or his knowledge of the avatars? But like…a little more depth please! Cuss it IS interesting to know that Zuko put EFFORT into his research and it’s almost funny that he’s the one that teaches aang parts of what past avatars have done. Like its very comical! And Zuko losing it over it being missing is even more funny.
Iroh unironically going “for the fire nation” was….a choice. And not a good one in my opinion. Especially since it FEELS like they are planning on keeping the white lotus plot line (they did show Iroh buying a lotus tile) so for him to so casually do that it just feels odd. Like him protecting zuko? Normal. Him doing that??? eeehhhhhhh.
