to that grey’s anon talking about the timeline: i very very highly doubt the shows communicate enough to be on the same timeline. 8 days for grey’s could be 8 weeks on s19 they follow a general timeline but not the exact same one.

Hmm, right, but I’m guessing since they share characters and similar events, one would assume they’re roughly similar. Still, you’re probably right, aside from those events they’re probably fine handwaving most things. People don’t watch these shows for accuracy. 😛

And another anon (the original anon who asked):

I meant that since Meredith fell into a coma on Grey’s Anatomy, it’s only been a few days from then to the winter finale. I thought they were moving week to week in their timeline, like how the show comes on week to week. But I may be wrong regarding Station 19? The timeline of it all is confusing to me because I usually only watch Grey’s Anatomy.

Well, right, I think in terms of that, it could be pretty quick, but it’s not as if Carina and Maya have actually done much since Meredith fell into a coma? The big step was to move in together and that was at around that time, with the month before, they did highlight that in the same Station 19 ep before making the decision.

And another anon:

When does Station 19 usually air? 

In terms of which timeslot, Thursdays at 8pm Eastern, before Grey’s…but when in the season, I’m not sure. I know covid’s messed with the schedule before the hiatus, not theirs but Grey’s, so to continue the same storylines they had to start together but usually Station 19 starts later in fall or even spring. Feel like Wikipedia probably has the answers on this one.

i hate and love this movie for making it impossible to have a f/f true otp. Andy and Quynh? Quynh literally coming back from the dead, in a way that is impressive even to this movie’s standard? Her descend to madness, justified but will Andy’s relentless love be enough to bring her back? Andy and Nile? I am all for girl friendship but, come on! Who would NOT fall for Andy? And Nile is just 26 but she is so Good she literally gave Andy purpose after 300 years! i just cannot with the feels

I’ve seen Nile/Andy shippers and I get it, but I have to go with Andy/Quynh. I was already getting more of a ~vibe~ from them while watching and immediately after went and looked up the comics. I really, really would love if they somehow gave them a happy ending, like, how can you punish someone for being angry after THAT? I could not imagine anything crueler. Just strip Quynh of her immortality and let them live their lives out in peace. Even if they have to “die” together in some faux bittersweet poetic ending and then get a little stealth epilogue like in The Dark Knight Rises where Nile sees that they’re still alive.

It also would have been so easy in O11 to flip it and have Tess be more than an observer, like what they did with Daphne in O8.

Right? It would have been a great and surprising twist, but no, Tess couldn’t be working with them because part of the actual heist and plot against Benedict was Danny winning Tess back. 

I mean, I don’t blame them for not pulling a particular twist, especially that early, and it’s not like I’m sitting here thinking O11 was a Bad Movie, but it doesn’t come off great that the only woman was effectively another target of the heist. All the fuss around these women-centered reboots/sequels, all the justification needed, the backlash, while the earlier versions with men were just accepted so matter of factly. 

It’s why I appreciated O8 so much. I kind of get why there’s a gap between how the (male) critics and women are responding to it. It’s not just new for an Ocean’s movie, it’s rare at all to get a big movie with so many women and not have it be about their romantic lives and not have a m/f plot threaded throughout. I was happy and excited every time women were on screen and not caring about dudes, not just when the heist was accomplished or a twist was revealed or obstacles overcome. 

I’m glad O8 diverged from O11 how it did. Both the movies start off similarly, an Ocean sibling getting out on parole, immediately seeking out their partner and putting in motion a heist + bonus revenge scheme they’d been going over and over in prison. But while Danny’s revenge was against the guy who his wife left him for, Debbie’s was against the guy who put her in jail. There was no winning him back, no chunk of the movie focused on that. 

And I didn’t mind Becker not being as malicious as Benedict, I liked what a nonentity he ended up being. When you raise the stakes with the protagonists going against a cruel man who wants to personally hurt them, the tone changes dramatically when the protagonists are women. Part of O11′s actual heist plan was Danny being taken to a room to be beaten up. I would much rather watch the ladies bantering over that.

You won’t be disappointed. The women are truly the heroes of the film.

That’s what I’m expecting, given the trailers and the comments, but tbh, the number of women and their preponderance in the movie makes me like T’Challa more too? I’ve mentioned before in tags but a man who’s surrounded by women and genuinely well-liked by them makes me warm up that much more to him? I mean, not to make this deeper than it is, but it’s a great shortcut in gauging his respect for women and the way he treats them.
