And fuck it, let Avery and the new chef lady hook up - or Avery and the butch Engineer who doesn't believe in climate change (better yet, she can go fuck herself with that stupidity). Hookups for everyone! Bring back Shania Twain so Don Johnson gets in on the fun!

EDIT: Also, Halloween Week, the Captain asks "How did adults get so obsessed with Halloween?" in reference to Tristan taking it way too seriously, and the stereotypical gay guy says, "The gays," it felt like a wink wink in itself LMAO.

it hurt my SOUL to see jacqueline toboni playing a climate change denier, the fuck?! that was so weird. but i want to see her make out with any woman. the photos released for the next episode show avery down playing poker with them and she's sitting next to her.

LMAO so true! it's everyone under the umbrella captain, thus why tristan AND max are into it...

Maybe for Gay Week, the Captain will come out as bi, too. Who knows. I am ready for whatever ridiculous things happen. It's is Heaven, after all.

hehe watch this turn into Lost at some point and the ship is the island. I mean, they already had the mystery hurricane that just suddenly appeared with them directly in the eye, clearly this ship is not rooted in reality.

it wouldn't surprise me at this point. i can say my heaven would be full of bi people so why not this heavenly cruise!

i'm here for whatever wild ride we're being pulled on.

Yeah, this ship has a SHOCKING number of bi characters it's hilarious.

Remember the sex addict? Also a shocking number of sex addicts...

I wonder, though, if the ship is kind of inspired by...

https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/yachts/evrima except if it was a Carnival ship because no luxury cruise liner has slides.

i really think it's a possibility everyone is even if they don't show it or just make little nods.

you know, the odyssey really does seem more yacht than cruise in terms of the look so this absolutely looks like it was part of the inspiration set-wise!

The Ritz Carlton ship(s) are really new. The second only entered service the past few weeks, but reviews are very spotty LMAO.

But ships do NOT take a few days off between 7 day cruises lmao. They don't have seasons. They kick everyone off when they dock at 9 am, clean the main areas really fast, then start boarding again sometimes as early as 10 (when I was on Celebrity, we were on the ship by 10:30 and had drinks by 11). And the medical center on my NCL ship where I spent 6 hours over 4 visits and 2 IVs (severe ear infection) had no windows, was clearly old, and had an x-ray machine and that was about it.

This was on a newer Celebrity ship during COVID, but you get the point.

eta: I decided to put episode 1 back on and I noticed an oopsie FOUR SECONDS IN - they show the bridge wings for the ship, which is obviously using a real ship for establishing, but the ship in the show does not have bridge wings and the bridge is way too small for even a small cruise ship.

not everything that looks great is great, plus i don't trust most cruises in general to be great! it does suck that like actual cruises have such basic setups with old equipment. it seems like mostly they're using a hope and a prayer to keep everyone safe enough there.

omg this reminds me of a video i watched recently where someone pointed out that exterior, establishing shots in like the secret wives of mormons were showing the wrong kinds of churches.

also!!! i did not notice the end!

squirrels_oh_no November 13 2024, 03:29:01 UTC

LMAO NEITHER DID I hahaha.

ohtheyfuckin.gif again

Also how the ship is not rooted in reality? Max and Avery were screwing around when Tristan came in with someone, and they ran out without washing their hands and just slapped some gloves on, which they then proceeded to touch their clothes with and put their hands on their hips with.

eta: I might have texted my dad who might be watching episode 2 right now (actually, not 100% sure if he did watch it today or not) and was like "OMG the end of episode 2 is like blatant foreshadowing to episode 6 DON'T SPOIL YOURSELF" like my dad who is 73 is going to be excited by a threesome.

i can't wait for this week's episode and i'm also already sad that they go on break until march after episode 8!

LMAO but would i trust all of them to do parkour surgery on me in the middle of a hurricane? absolutely, no one better than the ody3.

asjdflkj please let me know what your dad thinks when he finally gets to episode 6. my mom could tell it was coming before it happened.

When the standing on the wall surgery bit happened, I think I broke into laughter enough my neighbor could hear me while I was yelling "WHAT THE HELL" and cackling.

I am now wondering which source I saw was right about the number of episodes, because I saw 13 somewhere and 18 somewhere, and if they're going on break so soon for so long, it makes me think it's 13 which is disappointing. ABC needs to order more episodes stat.

i was dying. like the fact that they even had to do surgery on avery within four episodes was killing me but the hurricane on top of that, it was all so funny.

13 seems likely but i'd love for it to be 18. 9-1-1 only got 10 for their first abc season so at least they got more than that!

idk if I'd rather I could binge this show all at once or savor it over uh... 8 or more months (noooo) but we need more of this bonkers shit, and uh...for season 2 to be moved to FX >.> for reasons.

also why doesn't this ship have balconies?! Zero cruise ships anymore are made without balconies because the people demand balconies. Carnival is phasing out their old ships because they don't have balconies except for ones they literally had to weld to the sides to appeal to changing tastes and people wanting balconies even on basic lines.

eta WAIT WAT - the captain said nobody can work on his ship without hours of training including SCUBA?! WHY?!
