I LISTENED TO THE EPISODE LIKE A DAY OR TWO AGO But I have been so absolutely beat (JUST TIRED) that I have forgotten to talk to basically everyone within the past few days. Yet again what is new – I am chronically offline when it comes to texting That said, LIVE REACTION COMMENCE (I DONT WANT THE SEASON TO BE OVER SO SOON!!!!!! I NEED MORE KINGMAKER TO LIVE!!!!!!!!) Its the perfect time to catchup on kingmaker so please LISTEN TO KINGMAKER @kingmakerpod. SPOILERS BELOW
Love love love this opening scene I LOVE COLETTE AND EISENS RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH. Colette’s little “If you say so” SO VICIOUS!!!! LOVE HER!!!!! And also at 2:40 I rlly love the bells in the background. The very faint bells I JUST LOVE LITTLE AUDIO DETAILS LIKE THAT It makes the space feel so real (EDIT: YOU FUCKING GENIUS MEG YOU FUCKING GENIUS. THE BELLS HAVE A PAYOFF LATER WHEN FUCKING TELESPHORE MEETS W/ SAGA)
“EISEN: Telsie, did you see that? She almost fuckin’ killed me. I’ve never been more proud in my life- it was incredible! | TELESPHORE: Very impressive! Colette, if you're going to dismember Eisen, leave the hands and the face alone, would you? I'm quite partial to those.” Im going to cry I DONT WANT THIS TO BE THE SEASON FINALE IM GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH KINGMAKER WITHDRAWL. I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE AT ALL TIMES. They are simply drawing straws and Im losing my fucking mind because they are so great as a trio. They could do absolutely nothing and Id be waving pompoms around. I need the trio at every TRIO point of my day: MORNING NOON AND NIGHT!!! (THATS THREE!!!!!)
Colette loves back of house employment. Shes so me. LOVE THE DELIVERY ON “Is that from last year’s Parisian Elegance Fall/Winter catalogue?” SO SO CUTE. And I love Saga’s…. I mean JENNIFERS… voice actor (Ioana Adascalite) too, SO MUCH!!!
Also Eisen dealing w his pain via injury is rlly personally cathartic too “I thought I was close to full recovery, but man, after sparring with Colette earlier I am really feeling that bullet wound” I just rlly like this line. I feel this line (I have not been shot in a prison run but working at a bakery is the equivalent of that LET ME OUT)
I love gay people (I dont need to give you context you already know who Im talking about)
I love how sassy and grandstanding Colette has become over the past 3 seasons. Like w Eisen and Telesphore, she’s comfortable enuff to hold her own (just in a self assuring way) and I LOVE HER. She holds her own when she doesnt wanna deal w front of house work anymore. I fucking love you Colette. I love how everyone has gradually changed over the show which.... I know is integral to like…. writing characters..... but KINGMAKER DOES IT SO WELL!!!!!!!
“CUSTOMER: (from outside) Hey, are you open? | EISEN: Aye, would it kill you to give us a minute? Fucking prick…” ME TOO EISEN
THE NUN TICKLER
*”TAKING THAT AS A SIGN FROM GOD THAT I NEED TO STOP”* LMFAOO
“Oh no your fancy desk, oh no!!!!” SAGA PERFORMANCE IS OFF THE CHARTS
I FUCKING KNEW THE THANK YOUS BETWEEN TELESPHORE & SAGA WERE GONNA MEAN INDEBTMENT (is that a word I DONT FUCKING CARE I AM SO SMART AND WISE FUCK YOU!)
I needed that kiss between Telsie and Eisen so bad Thank you for quelling my anxiety. Because im fucking SCARED AGAIN!!!!!
AGAIN, THE FUCKING BELL TOWER IN THE DISTANCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EP AND THEN RETURNING WHEN TELESPHORE GOES TO MEET WITH SAGA IS SO CLEVER MEG. SO FUCKING BRILLIANT
“Are you still there?” “Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long” AND THE ATMOSPHERIC SHIFT OF SAGA ENTERING IN-PERSON. FUCKING CHILLS MEG YOU ARE *THE* AUDIO ENGINEER *EVER*. I WENT BACK AND REPLAYED THIS PART AGAIN. SO SUBTLE AND SO GOOD
“Still too sentimental for headshots, I see” YEOOOWCH! FUCK YOU!!! ILL DO IT!!! ILL DO IT TO YOU SAGA!!! FUCK YOU! ILL GET YOU!!!!!!
Oh that silence after “As a spy” I shat. FUCK!!!! I NEED TO HEAR PT2 BUT I DONT WANT THE SEASON TO END!!!!!!
