I actually think about that part of jpitv where Mr smith tells beth he wanted to kill himself like every day. its just so gross but like... real. the way he uses it to manipulate her feels so real and i just feel it in my chest every time

So in hindsight am I the only one who thinks that Shelby went to Mr. Smith’s room for lunch because she knew that Beth was alone with him?

Its crazy to me that jpitv nearly spoils itself in the very first scene. When mr. smith is introducing the crucible, he briefly draws a parallel to what’s happening in the world and where they live. He all but calls #metoo a witch hunt in the very first scene, but it’s done in such a way that a first time watcher won’t notice it. And its just. so. Brilliant.

something something raelynn rarely ever speaking up in mr smith's class vs starting a whole discussion when ms gallagher is running the class

forever grateful that shelby wasn't in scene 1 to hear fucking carter smith teach the class about SEX. "most important one: ABSTINENCE!" would be so tough to hear.

“all of your comfort characters are women” yeah when has a man ever brought comfort to something lmao

Thinking a lot about Miss Gallagher's arc. Knowing Mr. Smith when she was younger and being charmed by him and not believing Lorin Kerr and her little and Ellen because she was, in a sense, manipulated by him too. The realization she has when Mr. Smith blames Shelby and says he knew she had a crush on him but he didn't shut it down. You can see it on her face, the pieces fitting together that this is how easily he spins things, how he manipulates the people around him so they always believe him and not his victims. After not standing up for the girls and their club, bowing to external pressure, she finally takes a stand for Shelby, the only girl she can still protect from him.
