Derry Girls is so fucking embarrassing but not quite embarrassing enough to make me stop watching and it’s also hilarious so

“one may well question the wisdom of sending you here, of all places. out of the frying pan into the, well, not into the fire but certainly into some other type of frying pan - some sort of wok at the very least”

but Erin does get followed by her crowd of friends when she’s forced to leave

i know there’s a lot of comedy derived from the mums dad being a total dick to gerry but i’m starting to get REAL tired of it. literally the only sensible person in the house

and this goddamn granda needs to be fucking schooled for once for being such an utter total fucking dick

sister michael is SO GOOD

(ok so they gave gerry reinforcements and gave them One Single genuine moment of connection)

she goes out to kill Madame Morrible? the old and probably senile old witch? like?? only because of the paranoia about manipulations and frightful visions of schoolgirls and Nor. Like, NOTHING about that is productive. Elphaba is so....DIMINISHED herself.

oh ok but she’s too late for even that. i’m very glad i realised only very late that this story is one of continuous failure - like. this is those batman movies, it’s legend of korra, it’s...THIS. this continuous failure throughout the last three goddamn chapters. it makes me furious

also i might just simply not be taken with the discussion of ‘evil’ in this book. the supernatural natures ascribed to it.  ‘evil’? why does Elphaba agonise over such a thing? when she seems one of the few to recognise it so clearly? causing others suffering....

oh wow.....wow.....so that’s where elphaba came from...? why did the wizard do what he did...?

how did i get here?

it coagulated into full cybermen suits????? HOW

they really did away with the scariest part of the cybermen. the awful transformation..... (NIGHTMARE)

but i guess you can’t keep doing that or whatever

anyway, worst part of Danny is uhhhh how he’s set up as a rival for the Doctor. HATE that.

do it once - with Mickey - whatever. do it twice - WHY. Edit: do it thrice (Rory) UGH

anyway, ya can’t just manifest a digital copy in a physical space without explaining it (looking at the end of this episode).

if the matrix slice was breaking down - that’s DEFINITELY something that the Doctor could have fixed!

anyway - i was reading the article on the first time the Doctor meets the actual Clara - and it’s SO full of twists, and it’s brilliant but it’s also so UNSATISFYING.

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW GLINDA HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH FIYERO, IF ONLY VIA HER HUSBAND!!!

damn but i can’t imagine that Elphaba was or is at all a good mother to Liir. ok that’s just been confirmed about five times over.

edit: now 7 times

but on the other hand, she did bring Liir back to life, and avenged his almost death. but i don’t think she has ever afforded him any attachment

and like, she is finally reminded, that hey, this boy is the son of the man i loved. hmmm. and then has the AUDACITY to feel rebuffed after making ONE gesture of slight interest

so she hasn’t known her son as a son but she seems pretty damn sure he is her son

and she has no power as mother because she has nothing she can take away from Liir, no approval, no kindness, no closeness, or warmth - for she never granted it to him before

why doesn’t baal ever fucking listen to mini this fucking idiot

and now ananke is gonna brainwash her or whatever

so ananke IS trying to preven the darkness? but why kill the gods for that?

OHHHH Bamophet and Innana! INNANNA GOT KILLED BY ANANKE as well

NOOOOOOO!!!! BAAAL GET HER!!!!

that’s why laura is dead...because her parents are dead......

omfg hahahaha pomegranate salad jfc

SATSUKI’S THEME IS JUST SO AMAZING AAGAGHAHAGHHAG

anyway it’s super hard for me to reconcile what i know of satsuki’s plans with how she behaves currently (the red herrings)

honestly it’s so super typical that there’s all this PURE POWER dragon ball z like stuff but the only way for that to happen with women is if they’re in stripper outfits. god that makes me feel sad

um. becoming one with the kamui means...the kamui becoming ryuko’s skin....then why doesn’t it cover her completely lol

ryuko and satsuki are just amazing characters.
