i watched the third-to-last episode of a show i'm watching today and amongst all the gunfights and drama and intrigue my favorite moments were
1) a shot of a character washing his hands, bc it supported a lady macbeth parallel
2) someone breaking some sunglasses

... also there were some really cute moments with my new ot3 which i also liked. but. i get so attached to minor characters and then have disproportionate emotional reactions to their scenes Why This

@sirsparklepants

alternately, (romantically gives you the bottle you used to murder someone so i can't blackmail you with it)

i was SO HAPPY THAT MY TRASHY VILLAIN SHIP WAS CANON. the build-up was subtle enough that i didn't know if they were doing it on purpose.

@blue I was pretty sure that was the show, but I only finished it last night - when you first posted I was on episode 8, I think.

Right???? That was so good. All the characters are so good. except Diamondback, I suppose he's a good character but he annoys the piss out of me. I don't even love to hate him, I just want him to get off my screen. I'm mad he's coming back, I want Villain Power Couple to keep on keepin' on, they're way better to go up against for Luke because he can't just hit the problem. But Shades and Mariah were both such good chracters. Claire and Misty starting to get along was So Good. I'm ehhh about the very end but I suppose it had to happen, narratively. But man, all the minor characters in that show were a++.

diamondback is SO BORING, which is unfair because typically i'm a fan of the murderous-revenge-brother trope, but like...

my friend pointed out that we're told he's a badass criminal overlord but we ONLY see him losing his shit over luke so it's difficult to believe in his competence.

and he has too many one-liners and not enough actual character. the book-of-crazy bible ALMOST drew me back in, but then he became boring again immediately and his costume at the end was shitty and dumb.

... i spent the middle twenty minutes of the last episode like "they're doing wrap-up? nooo there's still so much of this episode left! i'm worried! what's gonna go wrong! i'm sure mariah had a plan other than "get arrested" guys!

and then, lo, she did. she and shades are both so fucking smug, they're perfect for each other...

my friend made a joke about her villain trash ship for this show and so when he was talking her through murder aftermath i was like HMMMM and she was like yeah that's the one. but she did not spoil me for anything so i spent a significant stretch of time like ... suspicious and definitely not thinking it would be canon. and then the entire stretch from (romantic bottle-gifting) to "are you ready baby" to the final shot of them i was like OH!! OH IT ISNT JUST OUR WEIRD SHIP!! THEY WERE DOING IT ON PURPOSE

claire and misty are so great. misty/claire/luke ot3, tbh -- i ALSO love misty and claire's antagonistic relationship resolving into friendship(?).

and yeah about the end -- as soon as shades said he left the papers in the barbershop i was like, oh, that's convenient, can somebody on team luke go grab those right away please,

but it took long enough for anybody to find them that he had to go to prison anyway I GUESS. i also guess it is thematically necessary but dangit i want him to come back. mostly because i want s2 and i want more conflicted-about-her-values angsty misty and badass claire and villain power couple kicking ass and

i really liked this show maybe this should be in a thread for it instead of fishin', lol.

@blue it's now Housework Day for me but I like your thoughts and if you made a Luke Cage thread I would be there :)

speaking of the coffee joke, wow they were KIND OF beating a dead horse by the end even if i still thought it was cute. i feel like peak Coffee Joke was

when Luke asks Claire if she wants to get coffee and Claire just says "I'm not going to sleep with you," which was hilarious.
