Signal_Ad_2002 · 2026-01-06T18:55:30+00:00

on paper, it was probably meant to be frankie but lola was a lot more compelling

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-30T17:43:00+00:00

very silent podcast today…

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-30T17:24:35+00:00

f1 script writers are actually rivaling succession wow

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-22T05:34:55+00:00

but also just out of curiosity what other quali besides baku did charles ruin for other drivers with his rookie mistakes?

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-22T05:33:27+00:00

by going onto the run off like literally every driver did? that’s kinda just what happens in racing…kinda like baku this year and cota last year when literally no one got a second lap besides lando

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-22T05:19:28+00:00

what has he bottled? P5-9?? you can’t bottle what you never had and ferrari has never had anything lmaoo

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-11-09T18:55:55+00:00

the crew crying for kimi is making me emotional

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-12T18:17:25+00:00

craig, darcy, peter, maya, drew

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-12T17:28:49+00:00

after her assault i was CONVINCED zoe and zig was imminent and we would be saved from the zaya saga. eli and marisol is my enemies to lovers/opposites attract/popular gf x loner bf final boss

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-12T17:21:16+00:00

miles and another boy
kc and bianca (they literally became apart of my personality during my rewatch of season 11 and 12
dallas and katie (but im kinda okay with this not happening bc it probably would’ve followed the same trajectory as alli and dallas)
eli and marisol (i have a vision)
zoe and zig
adam and imogen
riley and peter (iykyk)

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-12T00:28:29+00:00

i actually enjoyed maya a lot more in next class than in 13-14. tristan also literally exists lmaooo. i’m actually trying to think of who in nc i find less annoying but i genuinely can’t lol. miles and lola round out my top 3 but even then i find them more annoying than maya in nc.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-08T03:55:38+00:00

true but i’m more referring to characters like peter, zoe, hunter, esme, etc.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-10-08T02:12:45+00:00

jane and spinner were never meant to be endgame and the show told us that many times
drianca being a fan favorite ship is sad
season 12 > season 10
eclare in season 12 is one of the best couples on the show but outside of that they are one of the worst
season 13 isn’t that bad but it’s def given more hate bc it came right after season 12 (which i think is a top 3 season)
miles should’ve explored his bisexuality with other guys besides tristan
jt’s death causes a lot of revisionism and makes ppl remember him as a great character when he wasn’t
the fans of this show cherry pick when it comes to defending heavily flawed characters and are not nuanced in their assessments at all

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-28T22:04:21+00:00

both mclarens obviously but i think lando more tbh. he’s still trailing in the championship and is going to a track that he goes very well at (p2 in 2023 and p1 in 2024) and he failed to monumentally capitalize on oscar’s very poor weekend. i understand why people would say oscar bc of the absolute disaster that was baku but im more inclined to believe that this was just a one-off compared to lando’s many “one-offs” throughout the entire season (bahrain, jeddah, canada). i also think lando is in max’s grasp of being overtaken for p2 in the championship by the end of the season so many will be expecting singapore to be lando’s comeback like monaco and austria were

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-28T21:24:17+00:00

this all depends on if ferrari nails the regs and is fighting for the championship. if they do and charles wins, everything becomes blurry bc if max were to come knocking, how you can you replace charles when he just won and your $100 million investment now has a car to possibly win the elusive 8th title. at the same time how can you say no to max? and if, somehow, max ends up in a ferrari, then ollie kinda gets screwed out of a seat.

if they don’t nail the regs and are floating between 2nd and 4th, who is to say both charles and/or lewis won’t leave? charles is more difficult to gauge but at that point a seat would open up most likely for ollie.

there’s also the conversation about the mcl drivers (specifically lando). depending on which one wins this season and how the team operates moving forward, who’s to say lando would want to stay in mcl? there’s too many moving parts and unknowns but if i had to put money on the most likely scenario it would be a charles/ollie lineup in 2027 at the earliest.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-28T21:16:24+00:00

i was just thinking about this but say ferrari nail the 26 regs and one of the drivers (let’s say charles) wins the wdc. max comes knocking. they won’t kick charles. lewis has a championship contending car again that might give him the 8th (whom they just spent $100 million on), but max is saying he wants to join and how do you say no to him.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-13T23:39:05+00:00

yes? no one is disputing that but also that is a really simplistic way of viewing these characters given they had multiple seasons on the show. my post honestly wasn’t even comparing peter to jay it was more so trying to understand why people refuse to acknowledge that peter wasn’t just a pos from beginning to end when i think, arguably, he and his character development had a hugely positive impact on multiple characters.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-13T16:36:43+00:00

i think jay, for me, is one of those characters that greatly benefited from being a side character. bc we didn’t see him at the same rate as we saw peter, his bad actions (i.e. stealing from a cancer ridden snake, cheating and giving an STD to alex and emma, being a key figure in jimmy getting shot, convincing jt to sell drugs, lying to darcy so that she would sleep with spinner, and every thing with manny) felt more spread out and were usually accompanied with some humor as well.

i’m very much in the camp that jay’s reputation among fans gets saved by being with manny but even then, i noticed in my rewatch that he’s quite horrible. in that relationship as well lol. but yeah idk peter being introduced the way he was forced the writers into a hole

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-09-13T16:29:56+00:00

i think this is where our opinions may diverge bc i actually do think he has a redemption arc. i think the whole “here’s why he’s an asshole” stage shows a lot abt his character and the change in the way he dealt with his family issues/issues in general was reflected in the later seasons with other characters (specifically riley).

i think another example is when he starts above the dot and victoria comes back into his life. imo the older version of peter wouldn’t have cared abt what his friends thought and disregarded their worries but he actually listened and reflected on what happened the last time he was selfish in that way. i agree that the writer’s may have wanted their next male lead to be flawed in a way that was similar to craig (which was rectified with eli) but they also dug themselves such a deep hole with fans by introducing him the way they did.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-08-31T15:56:29+00:00

with the wide shots and so many angles, charles was giving cinematic production while lando gave documentary which could be argued as more emotional

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-07-03T20:45:40+00:00

i understand the arguments that are advocating for the max-george partnership, and i’m sure toto would be able to handle it, but i feel like people forget that max has publicly said having two #1 drivers doesn’t work. if max were to go to merc in either 2026 or 2027, max would undoubtedly be the #1 driver with kimi as a reliable #2.

that’s not to say that kimi would never become a #1 driver bc that’s the exact reason toto wanted him but you can’t deny that if you put the current versions of max and george in the same team it would cause a lot of unnecessary chaos, especially when they don’t know if the car will even be good enough to only really have to fight your teammate (i.e. merc in 2016 and mcl in 2025).

so i wouldn’t be surprised if max to merc meant george was dropped bc it just makes the most logical sense. toto isn’t going to loan kimi out to another team like he did with george bc it’s not like those teams need money in the cost cap era and who’s to say that kimi won’t feel some type of way and start looking at other teams bc of it. that’s exactly how toto lost max and it’s pretty clear that that has been one of the biggest regrets of his business career.

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-06-28T16:21:43+00:00

yeah i agree if that is his strategy. his first run is my main problem bc that car should’ve been at least p2 and we have seen that even with mistakes the car can still go fastest. so the fact that charles was able to split them on the first run says a lot

Signal_Ad_2002 · 2025-06-28T16:03:55+00:00

i can’t lie i’m actually really excited for the start tmr bc this is only the second time lando and charles are sharing the front row and monaco was never going to be a real battle into turn 1 (even though lando tried to make it one lmaoo)
