Well that was... bizarre.
TOO BUSY FOR ACTUAL POST WITH REAL SENTENCES. PLEASE ENJOY MY CONVERSATION WITH beingfacetious IN ITS STEAD. I PROMISE WE ARE STILL HILARIOUS AND META-Y.
I also realize that it's, like, impossible to read, but IT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
EhWotWot 2:38 pm
LET'S WATCH BILLIE WRITHE AROUND NOW K
Alderaan90 2:39 pm
dude
this episode
what EVEN
EhWotWot 2:39 pm
man
it's like, half "OMG YOU ARE THE BESTEST SHOW"
and half "...I'm going to have to hate you, huh"
Alderaan90 2:39 pm
I didn't experience that half.
the first one
I mean, I appreciated Bills a TON
but
whaaaaaat just happened
okay. I am ready when you are.
EhWotWot 2:40 pm
ready!
Alderaan90 2:40 pm
go
see, from the start, I'm like: WHAT?
EhWotWot 2:41 pm
I don't get what she...says
Alderaan90 2:41 pm
this does not do it for me. sorry.
there's no real wit.
EhWotWot 2:41 pm
I don't really like the writhing either but let's talk about her hair.
Alderaan90 2:41 pm
well, what she says is "What does it for me is the danger" which OOH, NOW SHE'S THEMATICALLY LINKED TO CREEPERCOP, THAT'S THEIR CONNECTION
but: what? no.
her hair is fab though, yes.
IF THEY'RE ALL HEADSHOTS, WHY THE STOCKINGS?
EhWotWot 2:42 pm
also...headshots are thrill seeking?
Alderaan90 2:42 pm
clearly.
EhWotWot 2:42 pm
I hate this guy.
Alderaan90 2:42 pm
YEAH.
EhWotWot 2:42 pm
and not in a pleasant character hating way.
in a, you're fucking ruining the show ALREADY way
Alderaan90 2:42 pm
worst parts of Duncan and the worst parts of, like.
All the Bad People.
it's like a mirror of when Bambi called her, needing her
only we're supposed to LIKE this douche? or be ~intrigued?~
also, I so did not believe him when he first said "I am the police"
I was like "um isn't that what they'd all say?"
EhWotWot 2:44 pm
yeah, like she assumes he's right
and even if he's a cop, my instinct would be...not all the cops in London are him
Alderaan90 2:44 pm
her arms in that shot were perfect, though
FLAILY FLAIL
EhWotWot 2:44 pm
YES
do love this whole scene.
Alderaan90 2:44 pm
also: Benjamin I love you
HEE.
EhWotWot 2:45 pm
xD
whaaaaa
Alderaan90 2:45 pm
I love her so much
EhWotWot 2:45 pm
I LOVE HER
"ohhh, well played!"
SERIOUSLY BILLIE
Alderaan90 2:45 pm
MOAR HANNAH PLEASE.
also: REALLY BEN?
EhWotWot 2:46 pm
I guess in retrospect mostly this scene is the half I loved.
Alderaan90 2:46 pm
THE "MAKE ME A SANDWICH" THING?
EhWotWot 2:46 pm
hahahaha
Alderaan90 2:46 pm
this is all brilliance.
EhWotWot 2:46 pm
it's beautiful tv.
and the music from when Lena arrives in Greece!
Alderaan90 2:46 pm
they're all totally on the ball. their reaction shots.
EhWotWot 2:47 pm
Poppy is adorbs here
"that's a nick name that's what that is"
CUTIE
Alderaan90 2:47 pm
also, I love how Jackie would rather assume Ben's robbing the cradle than be with Han
SORRY
hehehehehehehe
EhWotWot 2:47 pm
her little laugh!
his cough!
her reaction to the photographer!
I LOVE THE BIT IN THE HOUSE
Alderaan90 2:48 pm
also, idgaf, I still really like Poppy. like. I don't like the shit she says later, but: if I were in her shoes? let's be fair.
EhWotWot 2:48 pm
oh, yeah, I'd react the way she does.
Alderaan90 2:48 pm
UGH CREEPER CREEPER
EhWotWot 2:48 pm
SERIOUSLY, HE'S STALKED HER
...STALKING
Alderaan90 2:48 pm
BECAUSE HER HOUSE IS A WHITE VOID
MAYBE.
JUST SAYING.
EhWotWot 2:48 pm
yeah I wondered why she needed to ask why
xD
"I disagree."
EhWotWot 2:49 pm
LOL JACKIE
Alderaan90 2:49 pm
also: seriously the false eyelashes why.
EhWotWot 2:49 pm
no, the only parts I like in the whole episode are in the house, I just realized
Alderaan90 2:49 pm
xD
at first I was like "HE'S GONNA USE HER IN A STING OMG"
I do love the way this is shot/edited, though.
EhWotWot 2:50 pm
yeah, s'cool
Alderaan90 2:50 pm
hate the dress, though.
EhWotWot 2:50 pm
yes.
It's like...embarrassing.
Alderaan90 2:50 pm
DRAPES OF SEQUINS? REALLY?
EhWotWot 2:50 pm
It's cheap hooker dress.
Alderaan90 2:51 pm
I mean. this is where I give Bills credit: this is the most we've seen *Belle* enjoy herself, for better or worse, in a really long time.
EhWotWot 2:51 pm
mm, true
Alderaan90 2:51 pm
she's doing EVERYTHING IN HER POWER to make us buy this plot
but it's still not enough.
EhWotWot 2:51 pm
I feel like she knows it's no good.
Billie.
Alderaan90 2:52 pm
ugh. reminding me of Duncan SO MUCH.
EhWotWot 2:53 pm
except I don't want to like him.
Alderaan90 2:53 pm
no, I mean ending Duncan.
Alderaan90 2:53 pm
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE
LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES
also, that moment.
there was fear.
on her face.
EhWotWot 2:53 pm
how the hell does he not see them
Alderaan90 2:53 pm
he went up to stifle her and she got scared
when he put his hand on her mouth.
EhWotWot 2:53 pm
yeah, she hated it.
Alderaan90 2:54 pm
it was a flash. and then it was gone.
but it happened
GOD WHO DOES POPPY REMIND ME OF? like. aside from my friend. I dunno. she just.
I feel like part of the reason I like her so much is because she gives me weird, memory-triggering warm fuzzies
but I can't place WHY?
er, no ?
EhWotWot 2:55 pm
poor Poppy.
Alderaan90 2:55 pm
mhmm.
I will say he looks VERY ATTRACTIVE in this shot.
but that's really the only, tiny point of okayness
and the second he stands up he's not hot anymore.
so
YEAH THIS IS NOT REAL.
also: he broke the rules. money at the end? no shower?
what even?
EhWotWot 2:56 pm
right.
also, this whole thing
just.
where does this come from?
God her crying.
Alderaan90 2:57 pm
"Never cross a line."
Alderaan90 2:57 pm
DROP HIM AS A CLIENT, BABES.
too much baggage. the Hannah/Belle divide. that's Alex baggage, too.
just
you don't need that.
EhWotWot 2:57 pm
right. And surely she will.
Alderaan90 2:57 pm
also: Bennnnnnnn.
EhWotWot 2:58 pm
He's so great in this, Leah
he's so great and she says "thank you for standing up for me"
Alderaan90 2:58 pm
also: LOL LOL HANNAH NO ONE IS BUYING IT.
"I'll... cook..."
lawl.
EhWotWot 2:58 pm
xD
Alderaan90 2:59 pm
what does he say?
you didn't pass for what?
EhWotWot 2:59 pm
you did not pass grade six biology?
Alderaan90 2:59 pm
xD
Alderaan90 2:59 pm
also: the girl playing Poppy? AWESOME.
her arms.
and she looks like Stephanie, too.
excellent casting.
EhWotWot 2:59 pm
yeah she really does
and the sweater sleeves
she's great.
Alderaan90 3:00 pm
I mean. on the other hand, Ben really takes control of this situation from the get-go, which could be read in a "I'm the man I'll handle it" way. I can think of some people who may fuss
but I don't think that's what it is
EhWotWot 3:00 pm
I don't think so either.
I *love* it.
Alderaan90 3:01 pm
and he doesn't even realize
"What for?"
EhWotWot 3:01 pm
no.
And he's so genuine.
and then, because he knows it's such a big deal for her, he jokes it off so it's not a Thing
Alderaan90 3:01 pm
little claps
LOVE HER HANDS.
Alderaan90 3:01 pm
also: thank you, Hannah, for deleting
probably won't do much good
but thank you.
EhWotWot 3:01 pm
I know. I needed her to do it.
Alderaan90 3:01 pm
UGH UGH UGH
EhWotWot 3:02 pm
so gross.
I dunno, man.
Next week better be really extraordinary.
EhWotWot 3:07 pm
okay let me just
here's the thing
are we now supposed to believe that the Hannah/Belle struggle is danger vs safety?
Like Hannah living with Ben is safe, but what she really wants deep down inside is the danger of Belle and creepercop?
Because that's a)a super cheap trick
b) cliche as hell
c) NOT TRUE
Alderaan90 3:09 pm
I don't know.
Alderaan90 3:09 pm
if this were any other series... I feel like the Madam-ing complicates it
like. we can't read Belle as we're used to reading her?
because now she's chasing what Belle used to mean. and now Belle is responsibilities and awkward phone calls.
and maybe Harry is, like... I don't know. HEY LOOK SEX IS STILL SEXY.
EhWotWot 3:10 pm
okay but he doesn't treat her like she's Belle the sexy escort
Alderaan90 3:10 pm
this episode really emphasized the danger/safety thing, but I'm not sure we're meant to see that as a Theme For The Whole Shebang
EhWotWot 3:10 pm
he treats her like a cheap corner hooker who wears stupid sequin dresses
Alderaan90 3:10 pm
agreed.
EhWotWot 3:11 pm
I mean, with Duncan, you could tell it was going nowhere good but their sex was...kind of nice
lol not in a creepy way
Alderaan90 3:11 pm
xD
EhWotWot 3:11 pm
but like, it was kind of high class. It was Belle sex.
Alderaan90 3:11 pm
I mean. the big thing, really, is that Belle is used to being the one in control. but Harry's a manipulator.
the voice in her ear.
she doesn't even know which way is up
she doesn't get the money first
she took the job on a WHIM
like
series one Belle would be shaking her head and marking all of this in red pen.
EhWotWot 3:12 pm
mmhmm
Alderaan90 3:13 pm
I mean
in FACT.
Alderaan90 3:13 pm
Belle and Hannah used to have seperate phones.
remember?
EhWotWot 3:14 pm
I do remember
Alderaan90 3:14 pm
now Hannah, escort!Belle and madam!Belle are one, chaotic phone
one chaotic HOUSE, even.
I dunno, man.
I trust this show a lot more than I trust most others
but this is gonna be rough.
EhWotWot 3:15 pm
part of me is antsy because, like
five episodes.
til the END.
Alderaan90 3:15 pm
eraer;gihae;org
EhWotWot 3:15 pm
which 1. means more Harry than I really want
EhWotWot 3:16 pm
but on the totally other hand
2. whatever gets messed up for Hannah...is kind of just going to stay messed up.
Alderaan90 3:16 pm
a lot can happen in five episodes, though.
think about how many times Hannah and Alex broke up and got together and crap
in, like. THREE episodes.
EhWotWot 3:17 pm
That's true.
Alderaan90 3:22 pm
I dunno. I guess I always thought that series two would be the hottest mess her life could become
but this is starting to jockey for position.
EhWotWot 3:24 pm
I don't know. I'm mervous.
nervous also.
Alderaan90 3:24 pm
xD
okay. ARE WE DONE FOR NOW? CAN I POST?
XD
EhWotWot 3:26 pm
YEAH GO FOR IT
NO WAIT
LET THE RECORD ALSO SHOW
EhWotWot 3:26 pm
I REALLY APPRECIATE BILLIE'S HAIR STYLISTS
WHO MUST HAVE READ THE SCRIPT
AND GONE "UGH THAT'S UNFORTUNATE"
AND DONE THEIR BEST TO MAKE THE EPISODE WAY MORE AWESOME THAN IT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN
Alderaan90 3:27 pm
xD
bless their hearts.
Oh, and:
come for the piper. stay for the awesome.
Add new prompts! Play and be merry!
I also realize that it's, like, impossible to read, but IT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
