(Prelude to an unsolicited rant: Gaud damn it, I'd been telling myself that I would be done with Wells after last night, but fuck if there aren't 13 episodes in the last season of “Animal Kingdom” instead of the normal 12)

... no one cares fuck all about the sentiments of my level of anger towards the fictional character of J. Cody, but you’re getting them regardless.

I'm Mickey Milkovich on his wedding day except with J. instead of Terry. I'm so fucking tired of him as a character. He's just Lip Gallagher with out heart, or nuanced flavour, and I’m sure that the gaggle of siblings and the revolving presence of a father whom passed down addiction to alcoholism (or Jeremy’s acting choices vs. Finn’s) isn’t what makes the difference. The guy is a psychopath plain and simple. He inherited this mental malformation from his grandmother (whom he bold-faced murdered upon her command instead of her actually facing the cancer riddling her body) and their two-way attempt at destroying the entirety of the generation between them is ouroboros storytelling and boring. The generation between them just tried/is trying to exist in the mad world that the two outer generations have spun in to a tumultuous reality when they should have just tried escaping the insanity. It’s a waste of time to try to thrive in madness unless you’re the source (much like me watching this show). Instead of being portrayed as easily-enough pliable pawns, the in between generation should have been the heart of the show, but what we got is a couple of narcissistic psychopaths as The Conniving Boss Of A Few Broken Bad Boys under the smoke-screen guise of Family Is Every Thing.

... Thank fuck that it looks like the Dragon Of Television might at least give Deran and Adrian a happy ending in Indonesian exile after J. absconds with the remaining spoils of the Cody Empire as it were for himself and himself alone🙄, although, I'm not counting on even getting that much.

MicDeran Cody.

You’re still currently in that story on your other show, John, think of some thing else.

^ is how I, like many others, have been watching this Deradrian drama lately. Gay marriage has been federally recognized at the national level in the United States for four years now, consistently at the state level in California since 2013 after a stay of effect was removed from a 2008 decision in response to attempts to appeal, and spousal privilege still applies either way, so just let the two men who have been canonically in love since they were kids get married and dying👏🏽 Smurf’s inclination to snuff out a potential rat becomes nullified.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽The judicial system can’t make Adrian rat on the Codys if he is one.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💍👬

… Yes, Wells has been known to hire some of the worst Script Supervisors (individuals who check scripts for continuity and factual errors) in the business, but I actually do think that this action will be considered as an option before this arc has its climax. I’m just frustrated that we haven’t yet seen it proposed (how punny) on screen yet. They can’t continue to think that we’d assume the Codys are unintelligent enough to take this long to realize that murder is not the only way to ensure that some one has the legal ability to stay quiet.

Yeah, as a member of the queer community, I don’t want to watch Season Five with out Adrian, but I also can’t watch with out Smurf, what the-fuck?!

... Am I alone? Deran seems to be the only relative who he has any actionable appreciation for.

In his mind, Cat was his - his to kill - and there’s nothing that he’s ever regretted doing more, so I see him actually wanting to protect Adrian if any thing. Some are worried, for one reason or an other, by the ramifications of Deran’s insistence to Pope that he’s not him. I see that as pointing to a conversation wherein Pope explain to him how, and why, he couldn’t kill Baz/Baz couldn’t kill him, because of what happened with Cat, and that it was all Smurf’s fault, really, and differentiating Colby and rival gang members, not family, from Cat, Baz, and Adrian who were/are. I don’t see his as wanting his baby brother to feel the same kind of pain that he’s been feeling by forcing Deran to kill Adrian, or being who caused him to feel part of that pain by finding it himself to kill Adrian himself, and, any way, this would only put more heat on the Codys from the law.

John: Okay, but he has to be naked, because, if I’m going to make fans happy,  I’m going to give them the “good stuff”.

Spencer: Deal.

Jake: ...

John: *cuts scenes* (Probably).
