I really don’t believe it will break your clearly very present heart, anon!
oh, you’re very welcome! my duty to promote good content haha – love that you co-signed the other anon even without watching yesterday’s live LOL! they’re adorable together and they genuinely seem so excited and happy about the news, which makes it even better! jeff is always the cherry on top :) really happy for stefania – so many years on greys and she finally gets her due on another show! crazy to think that she’d still be recurring on greys if it weren’t for marina ? cont in the next msg
your ideas about S4 alike to mine and im also hoping that we get to see carina’s situation while growing up. S3 showed everyone’s backstories so the newest regular needs her backstory too! yes, im also a bit confused about what she’s going to do professionally too but so far, i feel like the show has done well in terms of balancing screentime so im hoping they know how to integrate her job into the show too. so excited for her to get proper promotion and to see more shades to their relationship!
Lol, then thank you again. And yeah, cosigned, even without that one live they gave us soooo much good content! …assuming that’s all I missed. I don’t even know now.
And really, it’s so cool that it would have to be the Marina storyline and reception that got her the full time role! That’s our power. 😀 (Joking, obviously.)
True, s3 really delved deep into their backgrounds and even if the process had been started years earlier, like, good luck the same is true for Carina, heh, even if on a different show.
S19 has done okay with screentime among the non-Andy characters, I guess, true, so…if we’re to see the same kind of thing for Carina, plus the fact that she is in a relationship with another regular character, meaning much of their personal story slices of time actually dovetail into one larger story instead of two smaller ones, that’d be pretty interesting. Like, we saw Andy/Jack, Jack/Maya, Andy/Robert, and I don’t expect Marina will get exactly that because all of those involved Andy in some way and caused conflict that affected the whole show (the way the Maya/Andy friendship does, and why I love main character ships so much) but it’ll definitely be a step up from where it is now. Maya’s still the captain, I wonder if that’ll somehow play a part, though I can’t see how yet. Carina isn’t a general doc looking for a job to do, she’s a specialist in a field she likes and is good at and that has very little to do with a fire station… Welp, we’ll see!
I did a Summerland /San Junipero double feature with my friend and we cried like babies because we expected something terrible to happen and it didn’t! Summerland was just the right amount of sweet and the main actress, Gemma I think, was wonderful with her expressions. We’re both partial to Gugu, I really hope she keeps dropping these sapphic gems on us every few years. And I loved seeing old wlw! That’s rare!
Awww, what a twofer! Gemma really was quite lovely, those closeups and her very expressive conflicted face.
Summerland definitely seemed like there’d be a tragic backdrop but the twist was amazing, and then them doubling down on how happy the ending was. :’) Really LOVE these for Gugu but would love for her to get a more central role in one of these, a bit more interiority, you know? But indeed, a great genre to be a part of, and hope there are more to come! Including with more older wlw!
My fav big sis/lil sis pairing in Warrior Nun is Beatrice and Camila. Beatrice telling Camila good job after her first assignment. Beatrice being the first to watch her play piano. Beatrice being proud of Camila finding Ava with the CCTV cameras. Camila referring to her as “Bea.” Beatrice being fondly exasperated with her impatience when they attack ARQ-Tech. Camila being sad about taking Bea’s weapons and asking her for advice. “It takes a special person to make everyone around them smile.” 1/2
Camila picking up on Bea’s feeling for Ava and finding the passage in the journal for her. Beatrice being the one to say “And let’s not forget Camila’s still up there.” They love and support each other so much. And Camila has some of the same bouncy happy energy Ava has so no wonder Beatrice is so fond of her. Hope we get more of them in S2! 2/2
Awwww, all these moments!. I love a lot of the dynamics but this is a favorite of mine too! And I liked how much that “it takes a special person…” line showed that Bea was paying attention and cared to make Camila feel supported and validated even as she was being shoved out of the OCS. Like, it applied to her too, in the end. 🙂 And as you said, Camila noticing a little something between Bea and Ava and giving her that entry with a smile, it’s not just one-sided Bea mentoring Camila. And I love her truly being Bea’s mentee and busting out the gun when they needed her. Definitely hoping they continue this dynamic and expand on it next season.
Do you have a l*nk for Summerland please?
Heh at you censoring that.
Uh, I guess you could try these?
I gotta say your tag- ‘I’m just so pessimistic when it comes to this franchise’s romantic stories’ is a wholemood. Rewatching Greys rn, mostly for Callie, and her lovelife is… Yikes. Her husband was in love with another, and Calzona was cute but Arizona was weirdly biphobic at times and then the whole cheating plot. AND! They killed half of the show’s main ship. I’m only on ep 8 of Station19 but I have no trust! But Dr. Orgasm gets a girl and they’re cute so I’ll enjoy ’em till they ruin it!
Right, even with the few endgames, the process to getting there seems painful!
Um. Ep 8 of S19? That’s early, huh. Yeah… Some people might consider Marina ruined already, tbh, once you finish the latest season. Depends on your tolerance and the leeway you’re willing to give’em.
danielle and stefania’s chemistry is really top-notch :’) the off-screen content (ah, yesterday’s live was super cute) makes the whole experience of investing in them even more worthwhile. any ideas in terms of what you want to see in s4? i’m hoping that carina now gets her own storylines since i’m assuming that’s what her promotion entails (and for good reason)? it’s great that s19 is being receptive towards feedback and made it a point to take advantage of their awesome chemistry!
Omg, I didn’t even know about the one yesterday! Thanks for telling me! I’d have missed it entirely. Well, I mean, thankfully it got put up on Youtube but I just didn’t even know to check!
What the heckkkk, they’re so cute! And Jeff! And the whole story of how she found out about getting the series regular spot and awww, she was worried when Krista Vernoff called her! No wonder the other anon was like, they’re such good natural promo for the show and ship and like, even putting this vid aside I was like, yeah, they sure are, can’t disagree! Cosigning that! But they meant specifically this! Awww.
For sure, their investment and excitement just makes it better for us. For season 4…like, honestly, I’d wish for them to talk it out more, not Carina throwing it in Maya’s face but like, actually showing the work Maya’s putting into it and Carina acknowledging it, more of Maya’s mom in their lives. But yes, her own storyline, like, it’s past time. At this point, I’m not even sure if dealing with Andrew’s story will be enough, since that’s being framed very much as an Andrew and Meredith storyline, and it’ll be on Grey’s. Over on S19, I don’t really know what they can offer her professionally? Will she decide to moonlight in that ambulance unit Ben set up? Change fields? Come home and share details of her OBGYN life? Take new courses or try a new specialty? Will it have anything to do with covid? I don’t want to see covid in ANY media ever tbh, but I think Grey’s already said they’ll cover it and I don’t know how a show built around dramatically addressing emergencies won’t…
But yeah, trepidation at Marina’s future aside, just promoting her is great, going out of their way and putting her with her literal onscreen love interest, I can’t help but think that’s all super cool and definitely a good move.
