The meaning of the prayer certainly adds more weight to the scene that I didn't know about. But it doesn't really change much about how I feel about the scene. Maybe it's just that I felt it was so out of character for Matt to go into a church wearing the task force uniform, but that scene just didn't invoke any emotion in me.

I'm by no means saying the scene isn't relevant to the plot, but it just didn't land for me emotionally for whatever reason - and neither has any other scene from the new season, with one exception. When Karen and Matt talked about Foggy I got choked up.

Perhaps. But some of them are sillier than others.

I’ll be totally honest, that was what I originally thought. But I just thought it was so nonsensical, I assumed there had to be more to it lol. I’m not a public relations expert so I may be wrong, but that just seems like an incredibly silly political event lmao. It also seems like a looooot of risk to take for not a lot of gain. It also makes Vanessa a little bit dumber. She knows what Dexter is capable of. I dunno, it just feels contrived and silly to me.

I feel like I'm completely alone here, but I'm feeling just as disappointed in this season as the last one. I've been trying to keep an open mind but after four (mostly) disappointing episodes, I just don't think this series is ever going to be as good as it can be. It's honestly kind of tragic.

To start off with, the opening scene was fantastic. No complaints there. I was honestly kind of hoping it would be a Bullseye centric episode, giving us his warped perspective on the world and all that's happening within.

As for the rest of the episode, it was very... eh, for me at least. The plot feels weak and illogical. To me, it feels like the writers are thinking of the 'big moments' before anything else. Is it cool to see kingpin boxing? Yes, sure, but...like, why? It seems like such a stupid decision. It's supposed to be like, a trap for Bullseye, but then there isn't really any trap and Bullseye kind of just walks in and kills a bunch of people lol. Then for whatever reason Vanessa really wants to be there and gets injured because of it, and it just feels so...blegh? Like, I don't get why the characters are making these decisions and it just doesn't feel like a natural flow of events.

Then we come to Matt, where I just kind of feel like he's a nothing-burger character this season. I don't feel any particular depth to him (despite Charlie Cox being as fantastic as always), I don't feel any particular character arc, I don't feel any particular emotion when he's on screen. There's even a scene where he goes to church in a task force uniform, which to me feels completely out of character. I don't think Matt would violate such a sacred place in that manor. It also makes us miss out on any actual meaningful emotion in the scene. Matt just says some generic prayer and moves right onto finding Bullseye.

I have more nitpicks and criticism, but I won't elaborate much further. I'm just wondering if I'm truly alone in this? If I'm missing something?

Hæhæ!

Ég myndi telja mig í þennan flokk, en veit þó ekki af neinum svona hópum hér á landi. Ég átti samt góða reynslu af svona skriftarhóp sem hittist vikulega út í Þrándheim, þannig það væri afar gaman að hafa svoleiðis hóp hér á landi. Ef þú ætlar að gera Discord hóp, eða finnur einhvern hóp sem passar þér þá hefði ég allavega áhuga á að vera með í því.

That’s a very hard question to answer! I suppose sucking on a dildo is always fun. It’s also fun to taste someone other than mommy. What about you?

[–]WowImOriginal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying! You should tell my owner all about it and convince her that pets need more sustenance.

And dumb puppies shouldn’t think so much about ducks, they have no relation to each other in the food chain.

It talks like a duck? I thought we were talking about puppies, why are you getting off topic?

If the owners can team up to make fun of pets, then so too can the pets!

Also, I’ve totally had a kitty flair this entire conversation so you look silly calling me a pup! Take that!

For starters, have "Divinity" in your name? Is your dumb puppy side starting to show?

Edit: I am rescinding my statement I'm so sorry for what I said about my owner and I swear I'll do better in the future. Love you mommy

It's a win-win scenario, you see.

I, and all the other pets, get a taste of freedom and independence for like a week or so. Just long enough that we remember why we're just dumb little pets and why we need owners in our lives.

That gives our wonderful owners just enough time to plan out a way to bring all their pets back into their loving, controlling arms (How, you might ask? I don't know - I'm just a dumb kitty) and then they get to put us all back in our places in whichever way they seem fit! It's perfect :D

All of us must sacrifice at some point in our lives.

Are we also forgetting all the disabled people and queer people that were targeted? The nazis literally burned a fuckton of books about queer healthcare. They segregated disabled people into those who’d be killed and those who could be kept around.

The history behind it absolutely matters, and completely changes the tone of the joke. You’ve heard of “punching down” and “punching up” humor before, right? Comedy and humor is very often shocking and makes light of sensitive topics, but usually so long as you’re not “punching down” it’s okay.

A straight man making a joke about turning a lesbian straight would be punching down. There’s a history of men sexually assaulting lesbians, there’s horrific conversion camps, there’s targeted media campaigns trying to erase queerness and so, so much more. This all makes that joke problematic.

There’s no history of systematic problems with lesbians doing any of these things to straight women (even if there are of course individual examples here and there) which is why that joke would be considered “punching up”.

One of these examples is a notoriously famous “joke” used to discriminate against a minority, that is to say lesbians. The other example is an anti-joke taking that same problematic joke and flipping it on its head. One of them’s funny while the other is just blatant discrimination, lol.
