first of all, she is simply thrown into the simulation without any prior warning, how would YOU react if you're suddenly walking into a black and white world from one minute to the next and everyone is dressed in 1940s outfits and also you're the only one who's an actual person and not just an AI? It's perfectly normal behaviour to be stunned and confused

also Dorothy is probably one of Brandy's favourite actresses from back then, seeing how she loves old movies, she might even be a role model, with Brandy being an actress herself...how would you react if you suddenly saw your celebrity role model/crush/one of your favourite actors?? And not only SAW them but getting to interact with them, actually being in a movie with them...of course this is stunning and exciting, actual irl actors being interviewed about their more popular co-stars always end up gushing about them, being star-struck, even despite being stars themselves, so it's a normal reaction, especially consisering that Brandy didn't have ANY time to adapt to the situation

and then later on, after Brandy gets stuck in the simulation (either for, as shown by the calendar approx. "only" 2 months, or more likely, actually, if Jack's assessment was correct and every second passing in real time is 6-7h inside the simulation, it would be 2 years (!!!)) and her and Dorothy are falling in love for real, just to have that taken away with the snap of a finger once the system restarts, and be thrown back to the very beginning, when they basically just met?! Of course she would be utterly shaken and heartbroken, unable to function and act her role, she's a person who just lost the love she shared for 2 entire years... only to then actually lose Dorothy about half an hour later when Clara gets shot...

I mean Brandy spent about 2 months stuck there with Dorothy, falling in love with each other, and then all of a sudden, as soon as the system gets reboosted, they reset it to the scorpio scene and Dorothy cannot remember all the time she spent with Brandy, while for Brandy it's like these 2 months just happened but she's supposed to not even think about it a d focus on the scene...

and then you realise that despite what some people say, it's actually some fucking great acting right there, cause of course Brandy wouldn't stay focused on the scene but look flabbergasted af, seeing how the person she fell in love with doesn't remember any of those moments spent together anymore and they're right at the beginning of their love again, but also not, cause Clara sends Alex away since she's married

and then, next thing you know Clara is mad at Alex and doesn't believe her husband would wanna kill her, meanwhile Brandy is fucking heartbroken about it and then, as if this wasn't bad enough, Clara gets shot and dies...

Oh, I am PISSED all over again. The deleted scene release crushed my twitter timeline and it just reinforces that WE WERE ROBBED! They should have given Batwoman a S4 to wrap everything up. Actually, no, they should have supported the show better during the transition to the Javicia era and not wasted time recasting a piece of wood w/ a gay haircut that drove a bunch of racist morons into a tizzy.

This is an AMAZING ship. The potential is phenomenal, their chemistry is sick, and we deserved to see it. Ryan flirting w/ Sophie during a mission and Sophie scolding her to stay focused so she wont get hurt, even though Sophie loves the flirting and Ryan knows Sophie loves the flirting. We should get to see Sophie wearing one of Ryan’s flannels AND Ryan wearing one of Sophie’s professional button-downs while they rummage through the kitchen and steal kisses. We should get to see Wildmoore in a passionate moment being interrupted by Mary b/c that shit would be hilarious. We should get to see both of them beat the shit out of someone b/c they almost hurt their baby. We should get to see them soft and in love and totally overwhelmed because neither ever thought they would be able to find and hold on to aa relationship like this. Ryan should get to feel SAFE b/c she knows Sophie wants her and will not give up ever. Sophie should finally get to feel in touch with all the parts of herself that she diminished or tamped down b/c she was raised believing that being the perfect girl and her authentic self was mutually exclusive. We should get to see them argue and still have all that fire, but then it’s also different because now they both know they’re it for each other and dealing w/ hard truths doesn’t feel risky. WE SHOULD GET ALL OF IT. 

Fuck the CW. Fuck HBO. FUCK THE WB MOST OF ALL. They hold the rights, they could have shopped it, but they would rather shut it down to save money on studio rent. They can fuck off. Actually, no, fuck the CW most of all b/c they cancelled their most black and queer shows b/c Nexstar is a bunch of T*umpy fucks. They’re all literally giving up money b/c they don’t want to continue a queer black show. They would rather WALK AWAY FROM MONEY to produce more straight, white, cis, conservative-coded bullshit that NO ONE WANTS.
