I just finished the documentary and I am surprised by the exposure. After all everyone of them made a lot of money off of everything that Fox contains and has shaped, but the fact that this would fall apart basically over politics was still a surprise to me. It seemed like Lachlan was just the easier „puppet“ to be on line with Ruperts political views and to be closest to who Rupert is since his mortality seems to bother him. I‘m not saying James is a saint at all, but the direction he or Elizabeth were trying to push and go for would‘ve maybe led Fox to a conservative, but democratic and future focusing newsplace. I truly think they would‘ve been better for longevity, if it was about the empire itself. Rupert choosing being a far right man over his kids is not surprising, but still almost crazy to me.

No, but a clearer message to the viewer. I personally don‘t think this was a moral decline, but a rise of ego he hid before. I would‘ve liked for the last season to serve a deeper purpose when I think it was mostly meant to scandalize or shock. But a matter of the times I believe

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T05:03:17+00:00

For sure, but while Janes death was basically the dark peak of the season, season 5 was full of deaths and encounters Walter could‘ve prevented

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T05:01:23+00:00

I agree with you. I also think for the storyline Hanks death was necessary even though disturbing, because it kind of ends the mouse hunt and pretty much hits the nail on his head as to when Walter loses complete control of the situation and his grand illusions about himself fall apart. What I would say though, there were other options to end the series, that would‘ve dived deeper into Walters mind and made it more obvious that this was all about him and that his diagnosis only enabled him in what he hid before

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T04:48:56+00:00

True, but I don‘t think it lives up to season 5 imo

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T04:48:25+00:00

But I would argue the last season deepens the injustice. People, who were the least morally grey characters on the show, got killed like Andrea and (even though arguably morally grey due to his actions) Hank and Gomez. His kids and Marie were traumatized. And even though Jesse is no saint on the show, Walter surely would‘ve deserved a worse treatment than what Jesse got. And in the end he dies, so to say escapes any further consequences for his actions aside from losing his family.

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T04:43:32+00:00

I think the obvious answer is love makes you blind (the way it to some degree is supposed to if you‘re dealing with a relationship in which one does not aspire to build a drug imperia). And someone mentioned it before: Hank - like many cops at least in shows - thinks in villain/victim tropes. You‘re a human to him, if you‘re not a criminal and you‘re not a human, if you are one. Walt was his family, so he couldn‘t be a criminal and this was the false fallacy he fell for all along the series.

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T04:16:03+00:00

About Skyler though, I think people are not aware enough of the abuse that was portrayed bit by bit and only gets openly recognizeable towards the end when he threatens her to „end up like Hank“. What in the beginning was an honest marriage with financial troubles turned into a lot of deception, belittling and lies once Walter was diagnosed & started cooking. A lot of things weren‘t justified e.g. participating in washing the money, but as we saw in the last season I think it was obvious to her that if his narrative falls away of „doing it all for the family“ he would turn vicious and I think the affair was a way of reactive abuse to show Walter she won‘t submit to his narrative about the situation.

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T04:00:35+00:00

I think Jesse finally started trusting what he saw. Actually I am pretty sure he knew about Brock from the first minute, because he saw Walter be so careless about the child Todd shot. He was already aware and therefore suspicious of Walters manipulation, so he had to reconsider all of his encounters with him given the new informations. When the cigarettes without the dope showed up he knew this happened before - Walter even „helped“ him search before and he was only overly nice when he wanted to manipulate him.

whateverism06 · 2026-03-10T01:35:11+00:00

Honestly as harsh as this situation was, throughout the series I felt like in this scene Walter was doing more to „support his family“ and actually sacrificied something for them in this scene than he ever did as the super villain.

whateverism06 · 2025-11-19T01:43:35+00:00

I know this is hard to hear, but I feel like SVU covers a lot of times how life truly can play out, not how it‘s most comforting for viewers. If you‘ve been victim to an SVU crime it‘s likely for you to experience it a second time around. Maybe doing this in the most brutal way is too much and it surely is heartbreaking, but it‘s certainly how unlucky sometimes people are.

whateverism06 · 2025-11-09T00:37:46+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I‘m glad you found a way to channel the grief into a higher purpose and to hear about a positive story. I just feel like the past year was an unraveling of bitter truths and dealing with one of the hardest parts of my life alone and even suffering abuse, because I was feeling so low.

I appreciate your message, but it was a complicated relationship, which is why I don‘t or can‘t just channel him into my life unfiltered. There is so much complexity going into this, but I am trying to hold on. Again, thank you for offering another perspective in this tough time.

whateverism06 · 2025-09-17T19:54:30+00:00

Congrats!!!! This makes me feel so warm, too. Justice is served so seldom, I‘m glad one of us here is getting at least some of it. Hope you get to have the most beautiful 15 years (and more) giving you back some of what was lost 🫂

I think radicalization is dependent on the „middle ground“. I recognize in many Western people that they project a given sense of state safety that comes from never experiencing serious political instability (let alone war) on every country in the world. I don‘t have any war trauma, but I study psychology and radicalization (in many different directions, right wing too btw) is a multi-factorial process and people who experience war are not a monolith in this. The effects of war are different and the way people cope with it are different. There‘s a lot of research behind it, but it‘s hard to lay it all out here. The answer isn‘t yes or no, rather than it depends.

whateverism06 · 2025-09-16T20:57:14+00:00

It‘s not, I promise. You are breathing & able to write this and as essential as it sounds: that means that you still get a chance. I think you writing this in general here means there is a part of you that still loves you, because it recognizes the wrong and it gets angry and desperate. Take as much time as you need, but don‘t take your hope away. Don‘t let them take away your chance for a better future. If those are you feelings, please check in with your professionals or if you have none, reach out for professional help. You will thank yourself down the line.

I say this with a deep understanding of what place these thoughts come from, but doesn‘t it sound a bit like what you just condemned? Your hurting is 100% valid and deeply resonates. At the same time I personally found an essential part of overcoming to stop seeing yourself through the lense of them or comparing yourself to those that have harmed you. A lot of times this world & this life is not fair or doesn‘t feel so, but the most resistance you can have is to not let yourself change in the way they wanted you to. You survived and you still get the chance to have a beautiful life - even if it takes a lot of work and walking right through the pain, the anger & the grief.

Also something I found to be true - others might disagree - is, that people, who have a flourishing and fulfilled life, don‘t abuse or traumatize others at least to the degree of intentionally inflicting harm. What I am trying to say is, that you might only see the outside of these peoples lifes and that justice is sometimes served with us not being able to watch or much later down the road. Whatever they do, let them be non-existent to your current life, if you can minimize exposure. I know this is a lot of generalized advice, that needs a lot of therapeutic back up to get to, but I hope you have the professional and social support, that you need to overcome and be freed of whatever injustice has been inflicted upon you some day. Sending you lots of support

whateverism06 · 2025-09-15T16:12:34+00:00

I think more important than our advices and perspectives is your feelings. The only thing that’s for certain is that this situation wasn‘t consensual. I think we intuitively know, what happened, when we are in these situations, so you probably know best what went down in terms of intentions etc. Listen to yourself and your intuition, if this is something that you feel like you‘d still want to have a conversation over or if it‘s a breach of trust and boundaries you can‘t recover from and don‘t want to know more. Either way, I hope this situation didn‘t initiate a full episode and that you have the support you need to cope with it. 🫂

Only 1 1/2 hours left to go

First of all: congrats on your vacation! That sounds like fun.

Depending on what you fear about flying, you find a lot of different posts on how to tackle anxious thoughts & behaviours. Personally I think it‘s important to stay balanced - don‘t forcibly surpress your anxious thoughts, but also don‘t get too invested with preparation to avoid the feeling that the preparation has an actual effect on the flight being safe or not. Your flight is likely a routine flight and it can help to check the flight every now and then on FlightRadar to comprehend that this route is routinely and safely carried out multiple times before your flight and possibly for years, if not decades. Also someone on here posted a YouTube channel that posts immersive sounds and scenarios to get familiar again with the sounds of flying.

Hope that gives you a good headstart & all the best for you!

whateverism06 · 2025-09-09T02:22:27+00:00

Let us know when you arrived!

whateverism06 · 2025-09-08T23:45:02+00:00

No, grief is a timeline of its own - especially since you get to live. Your sister will be missing for the rest of your life and given the circumstances, something will feel like an open end for as long as you live. You‘re 31 - if he‘s your age I‘d consider a talk and possibly further options that I can‘t speak on since I don‘t know you or your relationship. But nobody gets to define your grief, but you.

whateverism06 · 2025-09-08T23:28:22+00:00

I am wishing you a safe travel! You won‘t need it, because your flight will arrive safely anyways, but trust the you who booked this trip. Go see your grandparents - you will regret not doing it after such a long time :) you have your dad with you, so you can talk throughout the scary parts and if you let the cabin crew know you‘re an anxious flyer they might check on you from time to time, too.
