Yeah, it's super humid here today also, even though it's not that hot (maybe 80). But we have had some insanely gorgeous days, particularly for August. And my six day says that tomorrow night's low is 47, SO I CAN GET BEHIND THAT:)
It's sort of weird with TWD. 24 broke my heart, so it's not that I'm worried about being emotionally gutted by a TV show or something. But I do get pretty invested in Carol and Daryl when I watch (both as a couple and as separate awesome humans), so I'd like it a lot if they could leave Carol standing for another season or two. As I was saying above, I certainly get that if I want to watch a show where people don't die, probably I should take up Parks and Rec or whatever, BUT I SUCK AND CAN'T WATCH ANYTHING INVOLVING HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE. God, I am the worst. I just watch terrible shows and then bitch about them. At least I haven't taken up GoT;)
I wish I could do a better job of articulating my issue with the Mayor. I've been trying to shape it into words rather than a dumb blobby feeling. I think it revolves around the fact that Todd professes to love and trust Viola more than anything in the world -- there's that line about "Love something so much you can't be controlled." But at least at this point, it never seems that he DOES love her that much, because he's allowing himself to be controlled even when he won't 100% admit it. The Mayor frustrates me because he's so one-sided. But he certainly functions as an effective antagonist, damn. He even makes me like the rest of the creepy people in the story!
They're called Froot LOOPS for a reason!
THANK YOU, exactly. Well, I will just have to be careful that I make sure not to buy the "treasure" ones the next time I splurge on a box. So weird, that shit inside is.
I hope you're not roasting! And sorry BB is eating your brain up. Do you think Jesse will live?
eta: Omg, I said "season or show." Freudian slip or what?
here's that line about "Love something so much you can't be controlled." But at least at this point, it never seems that he DOES love her that much, because he's allowing himself to be controlled even when he won't 100% admit it No, yeah, I get you- that's SO frustrating, but at the same time it worked for me because I know it's not easy to fight back against the negativity and demons and certain aspects of you that that control can easily take over, and a lot of times he slips under, and also doesn't want to admit it because he hates himself for the fact that the Mayor CAN control him, and wants to think he has more control over himself than he does. I need to do a reread so I can better converse about these books with you instead of these very general vague-sounding responses, haha.
Do you think Jesse will live? I'm leaning towards no, sadly :( He's in such a dark place right now- he doesn't even want to keep any of the money that he earned from their meth cooking because of all the awful things that have happened. In Sunday's episode, he tried to give half of it to the granddaughter of another character, Mike, who left (by "left", he tried to leave town because he was being trailed by the DEA, but then got killed by Walt when he a) wouldn't give him what he wanted, and b) called him out on his huge ego fucking shit up) and there was a painful scene on Sunday where Jesse said he thinks Mike is dead and that Walt knows that, and Walt told Jesse that no, Mike is alive and he's probably fine, and he NEEDS him to believe that (because Walt is an emotionally manipulative piece of shit). And I just...I don't know what's going to happen when Jesse finds out about all the awful things Walt has been responsible for, but it just feels like him dying is inevitable, and things like this post support that (I mean, of course it's just a theory, but yeah). IT'S JUST SO SCARY BECAUSE EVERYONE COULD POTENTIALLY DIE AND FUCK WHY DO I WATCH THIS SHOW WHY DO I LIKE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
LOL at your slip. Maybe Carol would be safer on another show :P

I do understand what you mean about the difficult of fighting back, and I get that this is what they're trying to do with Todd. I just love Viola a lot more, even though of course she also has her flaws. They're torturing me now with how little the two of them get to be in the same physical space. The first book they were together the entire time, and I'm like NOOOOOOOOOO.
Ugh, Jesse! That picture does not bode well if Walt takes something from everyone he kills (which god, is so fucking creepy all by itself, obvs). I hope that at least a few people you like make it. I can't imagine the show killing absolutely everyone else off, but I'm fantastically bad at predicting what tv shows will and will not do, as we all know.
Carol WOULD be safer on another show, unless it were BB, I guess, lulz. I have my fingers halfway crossed that they'll let her live for a little longer because she's the only remaining woman from the original group that escaped Atlanta, but that trailer, DAMN. It just looks like an endless nightmare. I miss the occasional moments when everybody laughed about missing their vibrators.
