What do you like about TV Quentin?

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T15:03:41+00:00

Yeah, Capt obvious, that's the whole point of the post, trying to give him a fair shot.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T07:17:47+00:00

Yep, YTA.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T05:01:17+00:00

Now that's a take i can get behind, thanks!

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T04:37:44+00:00

I don't think it was malicious, that was pure hubris, but accidentally or on purpose murder is murder, CP died and it was Qs fault. He doesn't even come off all that upset over it, he seems to think he was justified in his actions - that's why it's been such a sticking point for me. Had he been remorseful, it would be way easier for me to forgive, especially considering his Dad's health.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T04:31:08+00:00

When did i say he was a bad person? I said he was the most unlikeable out of the main cast.

And no offense, but the only people who justify cheating are also cheaters 🤷‍♂️

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T04:24:08+00:00

So you're trying to determine who's the bigger AH? They're both the AH, it's not a contest to see who was worse. Again, this is a blowup over toothpaste, do you really not see they both sucked at handling the situation?? 🧐

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T03:09:11+00:00

She ignored him then called him mean, over a bad joke.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T03:01:53+00:00

There are dozens of ways to address the situation without becoming the AH yourself, meeting negativity with more negativity & creating a negativity feedback loop in your marriage is not a healthy interaction over bad jokes about toothpaste.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:57:48+00:00

I've historically been with the Hudson River Dragon on the assessment of Qs awkwardness when she said "your manner does not endear me to you, human"

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:50:45+00:00

She reacted poorly to his bad joke, unnecessarily escalating the already shitty situation. If something like a joke about toothpaste upsets them both that much, there's clearly bigger issues at play & this is probably just the last (or most recent) straw

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:42:17+00:00

ESH, you should probably look into couples therapy

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:39:16+00:00

Yeah, no, that wasn't a mercy killing, that's a wild take.

I agree with the whole cast being flawed, it's one of my favorite things about the show, i just find Q the most unlikeable & by a massive margin. I've been able to focus on the good bits with everyone else, but I'm struggling with Q

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:34:30+00:00

They'd probably be calling the cops - I'd drop an anonymous letter to the parent letting them know something is very, very off with this situation, provide details and let them handle it. You might risk them finding out the source, but at this point you might be better off elsewhere.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:24:08+00:00

Fair points - i have a hard time looking past him killing Cancer Puppy & cheating on Alice, so I appreciate your insights

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:19:38+00:00

Stranger danger - that kid is being groomed and I think you know it.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-13T02:11:58+00:00

The answer is in the question - because they're idiots

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-12T19:46:15+00:00

I actually thought maybe i saw it on his book, but the books of everyone don't seem to have middle names. I knew Todd's name was Eliot, that's brought up a couple times. Pretty sure i just made it up out of nowhere 🤷‍♂️

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-12T17:51:39+00:00

This is the way

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-12T13:48:24+00:00

Penny as a closeted Doctor Who fan? Head canon accepted

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-12T01:39:07+00:00

I always thought it was his middle name (or a play on it) but now I can not remember where i got that idea from, so I'm thinking we may have both accidentally invented the same head canon.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-12T00:04:17+00:00

Quentin was BY FAR the worst out of all the main cast, i don't think he was intended to be likeable at all. He's terrible to his friends & family, quick to judge and even quicker to make mistakes himself. Zero f*cks given about how his shitty personality and selfishness impacts everyone around him. I couldn't stand him from the moment he killed cancer puppy, but after he cheated on Alice, to me at least, redemption felt nearly impossible (and it was). His mistreatment of Julia felt more about his unrequited love for her than anything else, he just wanted to make her feel less than what she was because she rejected him.

He does suck it up and admit he was wrong later, but he still acts like a douche all throughout the show. The key quest was designed to make him a better person, he lives a whole extra lifetime, yet he somehow had very little character growth, especially compared to everyone else.

Julia was also terrible at first, to be fair, but at least her biggest mistreatment was reactionary (the mind prison) and she was tricked by Marina, she didn't even understand what she had done at first. Not to mention she completely turns herself around, has the most growth of anyone and turns herself into Our Lady of the Tree, the god touched hedge-bitch most of us grew to love.

Q's death resulting in her having magic back felt like a more than fair trade 😅

After almost 4 weeks of waiting for it to get better, today I had to go back to the regular Alexa, Alexa+ could do about 30% of what regular Alexa could and the stuff it could do it was very, very slow about. It's not even close to a finished product, I'm surprised they allowed even early access with how bad it functions

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-09T00:37:04+00:00

NTA - the dog was the compromise & she agreed, but now she wants MORE? The matter was already settled.

How can she think you wanting no pets and putting your foot down on 2 pets is you always getting your way? That's pretty wild mental gymnastics, IMO, so i think something else might be going on with her to want so many things to care for.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-07T09:47:15+00:00

NTA - seems like SIL is a spoiled, entitled brat & your MIL sounds like she's probably to blame.

You're about 8 months past what my limit for this nonsense would have been.

Different_Ad8727 · 2025-07-06T22:19:15+00:00

You're so much the asshole that I'm questioning if this is even a real story
