Casual Observations With One Paw Raised

In a nutshell it was a train wreck and I’m glad it’s done.

That said I think the 3 seasons seem to reflect the state of the world or at least the US at the time of their release. Season 1 came out in 2019, the before, life wasn’t perfect but it was a simpler time. And it was good. Then season 2 came out in 2021 in the middle of the Covid years. It was strange times, and the show seemed to reflect that. But there was still enough there to make people come back for more. And now 2026, the world has gone to hell, and so has the show.

The only thing I actually liked about these season was the cinematography and that’s really staying something.

But I will say this. Alamo Brown really stole the show, he’s obviously a bad guy, but so fucking good at it. In the words of a Gen Zer, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaj ate and left no crumbs.

But I didn’t understand what was happening with him and Maddie in the last episode. She and Cassie owe him now yes. But why she sleeping with him, she doesn’t seem to want it, but is that part of the payment somehow? And now he wants babies with her? Because he’s tired of stripper pussy and wants ‘the American dream’ ? Dafaq?

Also Bishop was such a great mystery character, but again him betraying Alamo made no sense.

I remember after season 2 wanting Maddie and Cassie to get rid of the toxic men I’m their life and life their best lives together, but what sort of monkey’s paw bullshit is this.

Jules was only in this season to serve looks.

The only silver lining was that Barbie Ferreira decided not to return for this shit show of a season so we can believe that Kat is really out there living her best life.

To conclude, this season had two dangerous criminals in an all out war with each other, and it was still boring as fuck.

And end that was as strong as it’s start. This was a delight from start to finish.

Ray Ray doesn’t waste anytime doesn’t he?

Lyonel making one last ditch attempt to become Dunks boyfriend.

Poor Valarr

Maekar needs a hug.

Egg trying to kill his bro and then running away, poor Maekar the things he must put up with.

Listen Daeron yeah you and your bro are kinda fucked up, but that sounded suspiciously like you blame your dad for that. Leave the poor man be, he tried.

Aww Sweerfoot! And Dunk giving her to Ray Ray so she can have all the apples she desires 💚

That end cut to Maekar looking for Egg, priceless and classic.

One was too focused on and cut up about the heartbreak of Baelor dying and Maekar just being a dad to his very trying children after the episode to spare more than a thought for Ray Ray (that’s what I’m calling him now)

So this is a Ray Ray appreciation post.

Little Ray Ray just having more honour in his little toe than his cousin.

And holding his one in a fight to the death with Maekar the Anvil Targaryen and the Kingsguard.

And saving Dunks ass at some point as well.

I knew Baelor’s death was going to hit hard. He was so likeable in the books and the show took it too the next level.

But what’s really breaking my heart is him and Maekar being the best of bros.

And they made the last thing Baelor said before he died was how strong his brother was.

I knew how this was going to end but …

It still had me on the edge of my seat.

Yelling at Ser Dunk to fuck Aerion up!

and yelling at him to get up from the mud!

A moment of appreciation for the realistic depiction of battle here.

But Baelor!

Even though I knew it was coming, I still gasped.

His last act was to save Dunk from boiling oil, and say he was a good man!

And praise his baby brother /weeps

And Maekar loving his kid so much that he try’s to come running for him.

Nice that Ray Ray survived.

Also quite liked that interlude and background for Dunk it was a nice touch.

Shit is getting real, real fast. In point form as always;

Baelor telling Egg he done fucked up, because he did. The entire family would like to knock a few teeth out of Aerion’s mouth but only they can. Which is the root of the issue with Egg though out his life, a love for the commons and a disregard for the rules of the nobility.

I just feel bad for Daeron, I’d be a raging alcoholic too if i had dreams like him.

Ser Steffon can get fucked!

I would say that Raymun and Steely Pate are the real MVPs but…

Baelor the real MVP!

Egg training with Thunder ❤️

Just Dunk and Egg being Dunk and Egg really.

Resisting to urge to sing ‘Living Next Door to Alice’

That prophecy was chilling and sadly right on the money, poor Egg.

Aerion is a CUNT. No, scratch that, he doesn’t deserve being likened to lady parts, he’s a limp syphills ridden dong is what he is.

He even gives his uncle the ick.
