How many things make a list?
So, when Sharon asked Jack-off to approve her adoption of Rusty, she said his other alternative was a divorce. I am all for Sharon getting her Slytherin on, that's ostensibly what the show is about. But the reason the divorce was such a threat to Jackhole was all the back child support he owed her. So she's willing to take him to court over Rusty, but not to support her own kids, who were canonically fairly young when he waltzed out the door? Really? I am having a super-hard time with that. Super-hard. Spoilers at the beginning of the season said Sharon's son was going to show up and be an ass to Rusty, and I'm starting to understand how that can be true for a sympathetic character. I might even agree with him.
And then this week when Sharon was pushing and pushing and pushing for a party and Rusty kept saying no, and then she threw a party anyway? I'm glad it turned out okay, but but if I said repeatedly I didn't want something and then someone went and did it anyway, I'd be pissed. I'd be even more pissed if some TV star I didn't know or care about made their "I wasn't arrested for murdering my stalker yay" press conference into all about my high school graduation. Way to make my thing all about you, dude, also fuck off.
So many side-eye worthy things in the last few episodes, and I am not okay with any of them.
Due to the black eyes, black hair, and sallow complexion fanon seems to be that Snape's family (or at least his mother's) are Spanish or Portuguese or something, but then I look at John Rhys Davies and Catherine Zeta Jones (and the nationalities of the characters they've played), and suddenly Eileen Prince has a Welsh accent in my head. Which presents all sorts of possibilities JKR was too much of a Classics major (and also way too caught up in catharting mourning her mom) to properly exploit (outside the crystal sea cave thing). Between Eileen's Walian and whatever Northern mill-town mumble/whine Tobias was sporting, it's no wonder Severus started cultivating RP before he went to Hogwarts1.
I am having cognitive dissonance with Battle of the Five Armies. On the one hand NEW TOLKIEN MOVIE HOLD YOUR HATS OMG I MISS YOU FRODO AND SWEEPING VISTAS I CAN TOTALLY PRETEND AREN'T NEW ZEALAND. On the other hand, I was not satisfied with Unexpected Journey and actively angry with Desolation of Smaug. On the other other hand foot, of all the sections of The Hobbit, Battle of the Five Armies is the best suited for this radsauce blowing shit up stereotypical action movie PJ seems to be hell bent for leather on making.
Guardians of the Galaxy!!! And Friday is my day off! There's also a free showing of Triplets of Belleville with a live orchestra playing the score at ... that plaza at the top of the Angel's Flight. I don't know if I'll have spoons enough for both, but I hope I do. And sometime in there I have to call my mom for her birthday.
1I am basing this assumption on Harry not commenting on BB!Snape's accent in the Pensieve and JKR not spelling any such accent out the way she does with very noticeable ones like Hagrid's.
