I just joined the fandom bruv where tf ya'll at 😭💀

Also it's my bday yay! :DDD (Live laugh love Henry my beloved)

basically, GOAT was a visual feast that gave me wonderful beautiful female characters, an engaging story, and a hopeful outlook on our world. 4.5/5

PHM was an emotional story about two lost individuals finding each other for the most important purpose, breaking the boundaries between species, and discovering a reason to live even when you think there's nothing.

but then PHM is also a story about a straight white man once again rising to the occasion when no one else is there to do the work. Rocky is treated like a pet and even does things youd expect of a cartoon talking dog. even at the end when they're parting, and an eridian has had equal part in saving two worlds, it would be for naught if grace had not nobly sacrificed himself for his friend.

PHM is a sci-fi fans dream, a realistically described world thats relevant to the mainstream and yet still has so many niche concepts from both science fiction and science reality. its a delicious story with nearly immaculate presentation.

but PHM also gives us a cataclysm to unite against outside ourselves. it basically exists in a world without the problems we face now. its so divorced from reality it shows us a miracle energy source that melts through steel for a pittance, and it tells us the world teamed up to destroy it, before they tried to destroy each other with it. it shows us an international initiative of every nation in the world moving impossibly fast but the secret project's space suits have the NASA logo on it.

I said it before, and I'm going to say it again as we say goodbye; Found's problem was that it committed too much to being a procedural and not enough to being original.

I wish Found had been focused on one case, Jamie's or another long-term kidnapping, using the case of the week as a guide. It would've had a lot more ground to stand on.

Week to week, I found myself bored with that weeks case and wanting them to get back to Gabi and Sir and finding Jamie. Because when it was focused on those things, the show was electric. When it was looking for random missing people, it was a slog.

It was him escaping the basement too soon. That should've lasted longer it's why we were all watching.

It's like they never knew what the audience wanted. Or they did, and they didn't want to give it to us. Maybe it was a network thing. They weren't willing to do something a little darker than the norm. Fine. Then, advertise the show as such, and people wouldn't've felt bamboozled.

It's ending on such a good cliffhanger. My god. Bring it back, NBC, please. Please!!! Just one more season let's close out this story.
