you look pretty too.

also can we talk about how this was the first episode millie filmed of the new series?? 18 year old millie gibson who was used to being a character in coronation street gets thrown in the deep end with an episode entirely focussed on her and her characters emotional response with no co-star to bounce off of AND SHE SMASHED IT

I love watching F2 kids make the jump to F1 because they drive with that "I don't care about this car. I will commit to that corner and i don't care if it kills us both" mentality

i can't believe the fireflies survived so long by being stupid enough to tell probably the most dangerous man in the country that they are about to kill his daughter

"You don't know how good I am!" shouted from David's mouth is one of the most terrifyingly accurate portrayals of how men like him think I've ever seen

craig mazin proving to all of us once again that he knows exactly when and where changes need to be made from the game to the show and exactly what he's saying when he makes those changes with ellie being allowed to brutalise david without joel stopping her are you listening to me!!!! it's about giving ellie far more agency and independence than her game counterpart, it's about allowing her to be the protagonist on her own terms, it's about joel once again failing her and showing up too late to save her and finding her stumbling about in the snow and all he can do is hold her and tell her it's okay, it's about setting up the kind of person ellie becomes when joel isn't there to hold her back it's about showing the extent of the brutality she is capable of when given the right motivation, and most importantly it's about ellie finally getting the outlet to release every bit of rage and anger and fear and sorrow she's had building up her entire life and violently reclaiming her own life on her own terms! and it's about giving bella ramsey his emmy moment!!! are you fucking listening to me!!!!!!
