Oh Magicians. Ugh, I wish Q cared about El's body a little more. You know? Also, I'm entirely kinda dying over Penny!23 calling Q 'Coldwater'.
I watched the ep of Cheyenne where Dennis Hopper plays a train robber/exploder and he's so fucking small next to Cheyenne and Cheyenne calls him little man and there's some gay banter and I'm like... why didn't the studio pair those two up.
Stumbled across a 60's series called Time Tunnel which is about two guys lost in time after they go through an experimental tunnel in time and it's like half Stargate and half Sliders and at the end of the first episode one of the scientists (left in regular time at the government base the time tunnel is at) is like 'At least they have each other.' and if I hadn't been sold already that did it. They have the terribly generic names of Doug and Tony (and I can not tell them apart) and are scientists who only have, like, the barest and 'only there if the plot calls for it' knowledge of history. (like they landed during the revolutionary war, got captured by some redcoats, and were like 'I wonder what time we're in and who these people are??? Seems like a war of some sort???') But sometimes they get casually 60's type hurt and they, you know, only have each other, so they're very co-dependent and tragic about it.
I would like a remake of Time Tunnel staring Breckin and Mark-Paul. Where Breckin runs into the time tunnel to prove himself and Mark-Paul has to follow him in order to save his dumb ass and then they both get stuck in time forever perhaps. And every week would be a new and exciting time adventure and they'd slowly fall for each other because they're all they have and they don't know if they'll ever get home, but it's awkward confessing their love because they know that the whole government base is always watching them. But in one episode Breckin would probably tragically end up with some terrible historical disease and Mark-Paul would tenderly care for him and it would be so much worse than all the other injuries that they'd had before, like maybe perhaps Breckin truly wasn't going to make it possibly, so Mark-Paul has to say nuts to the government agents watching and tell Breckin his true feelings and maybe kiss him a little, even though that'd mean that Mark-Paul would also probably get the terrible historical disease, but that's okay because at least they'd die together. But then at the last moment the government would move them to another time where they could be cured and now Mark-Paul has to live with his feelings and love confessions and it's awkward, but then probably not because they figure that they're never getting back to their own time anyway, so screw it.
Speaking of Mark-Paul... the end of The Passage gutted me and I am dead and I need Mark-Paul to be in every postapocalyptic disaster scenario ever now.
Project Blue Book had it's s1 finale and it was also tragic because scientist guy was kind of cruel to the military guy who loves him a lot now. Because aliens.
I love that Ed still has his issues on The Orville. Like they kinda glazed over that whole thing, which should have been a big reveal and stuff, in the first season, but it's nice if they're gonna casually bring it up every so often.
Watched an episode of Maverick where Bart gets shot and Bret's kinda a dick about it and, like, that's the good stuff.
It's weird, cause, like, they did Maverick to have a different kind of hero, you know, like, one who... wasn't a hero? I guess? But they had Cheyenne? Like, did they think that Cheyenne was a typical run of the mill hero? Like Mr I'm in a Mood / I don't like you so I don't want to help / I've fucked everyone's life up and now I'll leave immediately / I do not have any issues or second thoughts about killing people Bodie? That's... kinda selling Cheyenne short on how much of a, well, dick he can be. Like I guess maybe because Cheyenne was law-abiding (like, when he agreed with the law and when it suited him and without regard to it screwing up anyone else), while the Mavericks were more... gambly? wussy? kinda overtly weasely? But ultimately they still end up doing the right thing. Like, I mean, they're both living by their own grey moral code, like, I wouldn't consider Cheyenne's moral code to be fully white hat and stalwart. Right?
Also, I can not believe that Maverick is more popular, like it got a remake and a movie and it's like... Cheyenne was right there the whole time and no one cares.
Also also, I also watched the ep where Cheyenne bosses that cattle drive where the guy dies and Cheyenne takes over even tho no one wants him to and pushes everyone and they're all 'he's not human' and mean to Cheyenne and I love that ep so much. And I love that he gets shot at the end. And I love that everyone only cares about him because, basically, he gave them money and had reasons for doing things and Cheyenne is like 'this is what real friendship is' because he does not know what real friendship is because all of his relationships are fucked up.
