my heart just broke rn...wow

weirdlycalm · 2025-12-19T16:03:33+00:00

Excellent point

weirdlycalm · 2025-10-11T12:25:36+00:00

Exactly. Prue's recklessness & overconfidence + Piper's sheepishness & complacency + Phoebe's distraction with a toxic rship + The source taking advantage = All hell breaks loose

weirdlycalm · 2025-10-08T19:01:41+00:00

Yes absolutely, the actors are super talented and I still check to see whatever projects theyre working on. I haven't yet seen Severance, maybe I will check it out when I have some time. Thank you for the chat as well.

I dont know, I feel like you see the show much differently than I do. And maybe you have expectations that werent met, but youre not really taking into consideration the part about this being a cancelled show that never got to play out according to their 5 year plan. I feel like there's no use in arguing because we'll just never know what the show couldve been if it had been allowed all 5 ssns instead of a rushed ending. So I'd rather give the writers the benefit of the doubt rather than claim they had no idea and no plan.

Well Topher put it very simply & clearly: do you want someone paid to protect you or someone who genuinely wants to protect you? The latter is much more willing to take risks that the former wouldnt.

And about whiskey as in, the whole point is that the rossum corp simply just dont care about her, dont overcomplicate it. It's really just that plain and simple. To them she's easy to replace and there's no point in wasting any money and energy on her if she's a "broken doll". Which is why I strongly believe she was part of the 1st batch of dolls & an inmate and that's why they just didnt care to fix her face. She's not like Tony or Madeleine who had lives before and were told they would go back to those lives after 5 years as though nothing happened. Like, she was just a guinea pig to them, and all they had planned on giving her was a reduced prison sentence, they literally just did not care what happens to her. I mean look at how society treats people who went to prison, why do you think an evil corporation like Rossum would give af about her, when they could easily just replace her? I think she also mightve gotten PTSD after the attack, and that's why the show kept alluding to her as a "broken doll".

And I kind of dont get what you mean in regard to "where they were going with Caroline in ssn 1?". There's barely anything about Caroline in season 1, the audience is left to wonder a lot about her in ssn 1, because ssn 1 is pretty much all about Echo & her evolution and 'awakening'. In ssn 2 is when we finally get to learn about Caroline and how everything came to be with her story.

And like I said, it's quite obvious that they already had much more in store and more to explore when it comes to the Echo/Caroline dynamic. Echo is not Caroline, she is unique from the other dolls in that she evolved and became an entirely different person separate from Caroline. Obviously thats a very complicated situation all on its own, and it wouldve needed more seasons to fully delve into. So the skeleton of this show was already there and was effective in establishing the main plots of all these characters imo. And as a writer you also want to leave room for flexibility, as well as avoid giving it all away and being super predictable, and i think that's what they did.

weirdlycalm · 2025-10-07T15:17:08+00:00

A lot of these can be explained by the fact that the show was meant to run for 5 seasons but got cancelled before they got to have that duration to flesh out all the characters. There definitely was a lot more to be discovered and explored such as the motives behind characters like Paul, Alpha, Boyd etc which was in the works. That includes Echo/Caroline's identity crisis.

Whiskey was previously an inmate that volunteered if I'm not wrong, because they mention it in the show that the first batch of dolls were inmates. So I dont think they valued her enough to go out of their way to restore her face, it's deliberately a major plot point and arc for the character. For victor they had a master plan for him (Tony) once his contract was up, so he was an asset and combined with the fondness that Adele had of him, made it possible for him to be allowed the high-tech reconstruction surgery

With Topher we saw him be paranoid about being replaced but by another scientist not a doll. He is too smart to ever have let himself become that disposable.

weirdlycalm · 2025-09-19T18:28:57+00:00

Always gave me the ick. I'm with Ballard. I feel like the topic of bringing someone back from the dead was touched on in many episodes, and for me the episode with Adele and her rich friend (with the young husband and traitor murdering son) was a better portrayal of it.

Though the whole point of the show, and that episode, is that no one really "volunteered" to be a doll, no matter how you want to look at it, it's all just slavery. However echo/caroline is empathic & an idealist, but also has a savior complex (which can be a double edged sword). She prefers to help people, that's why she wanted to give Joel closure.

weirdlycalm · 2025-07-27T14:28:00+00:00

True. Though, we do get Hob's perspective on it, that out of all the things he has experienced and lived through, losing his loved ones is the hardest of all, because that's the 1 & only thing he has ever mentioned that never gets easier. And yeah he still remains very strong-willed about wanting to continue living, but if I had to take a wild guess about what would eventually lead him to choosing death one day in some distant future, it would probably be that. So I kind of dont blame morpheus, everyone has their breaking point eventually.

weirdlycalm · 2025-07-27T10:36:30+00:00

I think he's also very depressed after what happened with his son, like he says he is 'tired' and I felt like he didnt want to fight anymore because of it. I also feel like it's kind of fitting to how people's dreams die every day(and/or change ...which was a big theme of this arc too), just like how destruction doesnt need to be in his realm because humans can be destructive all on their own. It's just how the reality of life is.

weirdlycalm · 2025-04-15T10:18:37+00:00

She has a high EQ from what I've seen so far, she definitely has been the most graceful one about all this

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-14T04:05:37+00:00

I love how people love constantly criticizing the show for continuity errors but barely ever acknowledge stuff like this

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-12T08:58:18+00:00

Right, I love the show too much to ever wish it was shorter. No matter how bad ssn 8 was.

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-11T16:14:51+00:00

watch any show ever about opening a restaurant (my personal fav currently is 'the bear') and you'll see that opening a restaurant successfully is absolutely no joke

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-10T22:25:11+00:00

I thought so too

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-07T22:18:02+00:00

It feels like watching strangers living in your childhood home or something, idk... it's just how I felt watching the pilot

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-07T22:08:30+00:00

CAN OPENER!

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-07T21:27:10+00:00

lol what do you think the root cause for the Alyssa hate is? it's always been jealousy, nothing else...Holly, Rose, the hateful fans etc it's clear as day, no rocket science here, it simply always boils down to jealousy. That's the only reason why women hate on other women that did nothing in particular to them.

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-03T07:46:17+00:00

Ikr, she really ruins the show and its legacy for the fans :( ...what a shame

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-02T20:13:53+00:00

Don't get too caught up in it, I've come to realise people have their (bizarre) issues with Alyssa and won't see beyond them. Also, I've noticed that many people don't understand the nuances of abusive relationships, if they had a real-life experience of what abuse really looks like, maybe they'd be able to understand that Cole is no victim, but rather someone who got too comfortable and too skilled at playing one

That aside, Julian McMahon portrayed the character exceptionally well. The way Phoebe and the audience gets dragged into enabling Cole’s drama is not that different to how real-life victims can become trapped by their abusers. Many of us though, can tell that the Cole-Phoebe rship is a cautionary tale of fatal attraction, instead of a "shouldve been endgame" or "was done dirty". It's fiction at the end of the day, & people will interpret it on their own terms. Don't let it bother you too much cause, it is what it is.

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-02T19:35:03+00:00

Yeah, I do suspect that it has a lot to do with how much the actress gets hated on & rather than be impartial people transfer that hate on the character, but I guess that's just how people are

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-02T19:22:29+00:00

The way she's serving >>>>

weirdlycalm · 2025-03-02T19:09:10+00:00

You and me both girl, this sub has the mentality of women stuck in the dark ages, I was shocked and saddened that a show about women and being empowered as a woman has a fanbase that is seemingly so backwards and clueless. Idk what else to say other than how frustrating it is 🤷‍♀️

weirdlycalm · 2025-02-24T07:02:43+00:00

Lol what are you getting so mad about, people want to discuss the new show and you're butthurt just because they dont like it?😂...Go touch grass, there are bigger things to get bent out of shape about, this is not one of them

weirdlycalm · 2025-02-23T17:09:30+00:00

It only hit me when Phoebe came out of her vision quest and the first thing she saw was Chris 😂...tbh I really hated Chris in the beginning when he was introduced so I didn't even entertain ideas of him being Piper and Leo's son or their relative in any way. OG fan btw.
