Bucky, trying to be a politician and realizing how inefficient it is at stopping bad guys quickly: Welp. I can't debate, diplomat, or deposition my way out of this one.
Bucky, loading his explosive disc launcher: Detonate it is.

Something that never ever gets old for me is how PoI consistently redirects Reese's violence from the normal, crueler things we're used to seeing from action protagonists. The most obvious thing is him kneecapping people instead of killing them, of course, but it's a constant bit throughout the show.
You see him with blowtorch and someone he needs to get information out of, but then he starts burning the guy's money instead and it's just as effective. He tells people that he has a dangerous substance (acid, nitroglycerin, etc.) and then takes advantage of their panic when he throws what's actually water or corn syrup or something on them. He got kidnapped by a dirty cop? He shoots the cop only AFTER making sure the cop is wearing his bulletproof vest. He's in a life or death struggle with an agent sent to kill him? He intentionally stabs the guy in such a way that he can get to the hospital for treatment *if* he leaves Reese alone, and he tells the agent this. He has a disgusting abusive US Marshal tied up in his trunk. Does this mean murder is inevitable?? Nope! He's gonna dump him in a Mexican prison!
It's so refreshing to see these exercises in restraint, because so often the Dark Brooding Hero has no mercy and leaves a wake of death and torture that we just choose not to think about. Yeah, John Reese leaves a wake of chaos and property damage and business for orthopedic surgeons, but he's not a murderer anymore, and that's the whole point.

People need to understand that Zutara isn't about Zuko being the hot and sexy dream guy that makes Katara swoon. It's about their complimentary Tired Parent™️ energy and the fact that Zuko is—at all times—slightly terrified of Katara in the most smitten way possible.
Counterintuitively, the thing that I love about John/Ava is that they would be the Worst Possible Couple.
Two cats that hiss and swipe at each other constantly but that also constantly take naps curled up together in a tiny box.
Hostile school children that show no indication they have any positive emotion towards each other but any time they're NOT together each one immediately becomes a 1000% Worse Person
It would be an absolute train wreck and I am ✨️fascinated✨️

Trying to stay casual by calling him "Grace" when talking about him to other people so no one knows Ryland and I are on first name terms
A Ranking of Jane Austen Heroines, in Ascending Order of Culpability
Fanny (Mansfield Park): Has done nothing wrong ever in her life (but would never say this as she is far too humble).
Elinor (S&S): Must have scoliosis from carrying the whole weight of the Dashwood family at the ripe old age of 19. Should probably have asked for help by now, but who's she going to ask? Her mother? Unlikely.
Anne (Persuasion): Pros: is the only functioning member of her family. Cons: took some really bad advice when she was 17.
Elizabeth (P&P): So dead-set on hating Mr. Darcy that she falls hook-line-and-sinker for the lies Wickham tells her with no questions asked. Otherwise has good sense.
Marianne (S&S): Throws herself headlong into the Romantic Experience™️ and gets her heart broken by a playboy when Colonel Brandon is literally RIGHT THERE.
Catherine (Northanger Abbey): Good-hearted, but easily led astray. So obsessed with Gothic novels that she kind of accuses Mr. Tilney's father of murdering his wife and burying her in the basement.
Emma (Emma): Tells Harriet to refuse the nice guy she likes, too prideful to see that Mr. Elton is pursuing her instead of Harriet, gossips about Jane Fairfax, feels like the rules don't apply to her, won't listen to Mr. Knightly. Is a menace.
Tolkien really said that shying away from deus ex machina was for wimps.
The Hobbit: The dragon has been defeated! But wait a second, now Thorin hates Bilbo and all the good guys are about to fight over the hoard... Hey look! It's goblins! And a giant humanoid bear! And eagles!
Lord of the Rings: Frodo and Sam have gotten to the mountain, but the Ring has taken Frodo, and the armies of Men are being overwhelmed... Hey look! It's Gollum! And Eagles!!
The Silmarillion: Literally Everything is Terrible and Everyone is About to Die....... Hey LOOK! It's the Valar! And Eärendil!! AND WOULDJA LOOK AT THAT IT'S EAGLES!!!
