Warrior – 1×04

Tagsah toy, ah toy is my favorite at this point, and it's all kind of like...bogged down by its need to show how terrible it was and how bad racism is, bill o'hara, BUT, but it's not a particularly good execution of that either because it's got so much typical propping up of the lead, but she's also had the last screen time, I think it''s kind of clear now how much that doesn't actually teach any lesson or help, it...normalizes things, it's the type of show where there are three women with any significant plot and time--the main character's sister, kieran bew, like it can be a gritty show if it wants to be--I loved the terror, olivia cheng, so...three more eps and it's not really yet departing from a lot of cliched choices, the brothel owner who's slept with the main and the mayor's wife who's slept with the main, the only thing that seems to help is showing normal people being happy and hopeful, warrior, warrior 1x04, warrior spoilers, warrioredit, whatever positions the women are in are more to tear them down from there, with so much setting the scene of the different factions I expect there to be some pretty great battles and unexpected alliances as a payoff, you know?

Previous PostPrevious We all know the shitty trope where writers kill off a lesbian right after she has sex with the woman she loves, but do you ever think about how AAM instead had the queer woman suffer after she slept with the dude?? Like, Juliana’s day went from bad w sergio to worse w alacran. Obvs I’m not happy that Juliana suffered at all, but they turned that trope on its head, whether it was intentional or not. It sent a message of “look at all the bad that happens when u don’t let ur kid love who they love”

Hello! I would just like to tell you I absolutely love reading your commentary in the tags of your posts. I look forward to reading them on every gifset! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
when i started watching star trek discovery, i thought at least michael a crush on prime philippa. then the narrative kept insisting their relationship with mother/daughter so i threw my hands in the air and said ig! and now when i watched that scene, i was all ??? this doesn’t read as platonic to me. it can’t be just me seeing things with my own two lesbian eyes (1/2)
First off, I admire your patience with your answers to all the asks, thank you for your thoughtful replies.I have seen lots of frustration and disappointment with the Maya/Carina storyline/airtime in s4 so far on Station 19 and I find it fascinating and strange at how quickly people are forgetting the covid pandemic isn’t just a storyline, it’s real life for everyone right now, including the cast and production team. (That’s a general observation – not one I’ve ever sensed you to have through your responses BTW). That we have had any onscreen, close physical contact nevermind actual physical intimacy that requires the actors to kiss etc is a huge luxury. I don’t know what the exact rules are for the acting industry in the USA at the moment, but in the UK the rules are still strict for actors and were even stricter earlier in the year (at around the time the episodes just broadcast would have been filmed). And just this week Tom Cruise has been widely (and positively) reported about for making sure that the severity of the risks are to the industry and how much effort is being put in by those that can have shows/films in production right now to keep the industry alive for when it hopefully gets a little bit easier.And yes, it’s frustrating to see our favourite story lines within ensemble shows get a ‘lesser’ spotlight than others, especially when the others are the heteronormative, ‘mainstream’ ones.We have no idea what plan A was for s4 – it’s a casualty of covid, twice over. First because the broader narrative was adjusted to accommodate it, almost like the introduction of an additional series member to the ensemble. And second because they have to come up with stories that can be told through scenes filmed in ways that the cast, crew, studio etc are prepared to do because they feel they can do them safely.COVID kills, still by the thousand, every hour and day now, 9+ months after the first lockdowns and shelter in place orders etc. So much of life is unrecognisable for so many because of it, because they have lost people they care about, jobs, homes… And things taken for granted 10 months ago are almost forgotten about, condemned to ancient history because they just can’t happen safely.Yet we have new episodes on TV, made by people who were prepared to hug and kiss and put themselves as elevated risk of catching a seriously scary disease because it was something they could do to help us all, collectively feel like life still goes on.(we could have ended s3 at episode 15 and still be waiting for s4 to start filming….yet we have French Toast that’s better than sex!) Personally, I’m just so glad that we have had Maya and Carina on screen again in 2020 and that the storyline has survived COVID in the real world. Yes, it would be great if it was more and different and all the things as fans we always want. And hopefully it will be nearer that by the end of s4’s whole arc. And if it isn’t? I think I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Hopefully at a point in 2021 when COVID-19 is no longer a main cast member of our lives… On screen and and in real life.
