kaberett... by which I mean "I finished season 1 last night, er, whoops?"
(1) I am genuinely surprised at how well I have been coping with it - in spite of the graphic graphic suicide, self-harm, and abuse, I am honestly in one piece?
(2) In fact, I ended up staying up much later than intended last night because the bit that really fucked me up was Kira getting injured. I would not have coped well with having to wait a week to find out she was okay. This is clearly going to be An Problems when I am watching along at airing-time. :-/
(3) Is this in fact covering some of what Dollhouse wanted to do, only competently and with agency?
(4) Because wow, absolutely everything about this is so fucked up, wow.
(5) Mrs S. did... not look as though she was going to be happy about making off with Kira; I was starting to have You Are Building A Family feels about her interactions with Sarah, and given how drawn Mrs S was looking...
(6) On a completely different note, I love Felix to bits. I mean, it's a bit disconcerting that one of my students last year is pretty much a dead ringer for him (down to hairstyle and vocal cadences), but-- "I need to change. Fetch me something gay." "Oh my god, we're going to have to do a complete reverse Pygmalion."
(7) He is a sex worker and not shamed for it.
(8) There are not words for how much I love watching Cosima and Delphine do science together, seriously not words.
(9) aaaaaah it is doing all of the questions about What Identity Means that I loved so much in the Imperial Radch, and it is doing the thing I love so much ofrecessional's fic of -- everyone is immensely fucked up and traumatised, and yet they are still worthy of love. Except for the white cishet dudes. It's... kind of amazing.
(10) Yeah I love this ridiculous show, whoops.
