On Grey’s Anatomy it’s been 8 days since episode 1/2(Meredith wakes from her covid coma and they tell her this) and as they did two crossovers with Station 19 already, it’s been 8 days for them as well. That makes how fast Maya and Carina moved even more ridiculous. I thought it had been a month or a few weeks but since they’re still in April of this year, barely anytime has passed since everything happened and they haven’t discussed anything, really. I hope there’s a time jump in March.

Hmm, I’m not sure what you mean? Grey’s ep 1 and 2 were already several weeks after the season finales, time for the pandemic to get going, plus, Station 19′s first ep alluded to the few weeks Marina hadn’t seen each other, and maybe add a bit of time for the “just getting back to normal” for them or whatever, so isn’t that the month you thought they were getting since everything down?

I feel like I have a lot of shows to catch up on cause uni was rough this year. Would you recommend catching up on HDM (I have a few episodes left of series 1 & all of series 2) or watching The Wilds first?

Oh, are you done now? Nice! Hmm, I found The Wilds more bingeable, HDM is pretty classic weekly eps, all continuing the same story, of course, but you feel like you can take a breather.

I tend to schedule things like this together, taking into account both experiences, so I’d go with The Wilds first, since the whole first season is out and you’ll be left impatient to know what happens next, but can then distract yourself with HDM, which still has a couple of eps left for the season. 

So, I watched Star Trek through your gifs. What do you MEAN they aren’t scorned wives?!?!?!!!!!! I only just started reading tags and I feel taken a for a ride lol. I scrolled in the most recent gifset waiting for a kiss. And nothing ! I think I’ll start watching anyway, it looks like a good show. But damn, ANOTHER missed opportunity…

I KNOW. And lol, I’m sorry, I’ve been shipping them from the first ep in one form or another despite the show constantly momzoning them. They just have so much chemistry and somehow wrote these characters to share this familiarity and knowledge of each other and this intense love that the other dynamics can’t really match, and it’s just been so interesting and watchable even in this form, let alone if they went There. That second last gifset, with the facepalming and hug and forehead touch and “my Philippa” and…yeah. So jealous of future generations when shows go there without a second thought.

Maya needs therapy, and I wouldn’t even mind if they rushed through it, as this show likes to do. As long as they do something. I really wanted more for Carina, at the very least a bit of insight to her thought process. I don’t get why they didn’t give us a flashback as to how they got to a better place. It would have been perfect in showing more of who Carina is. We get so much of Maya and sure, it’s her show, but if Carina is going to be with her, we need to know who she is as well.

Right, we don’t need the literal therapy sessions over months, just show she’s trying and making changes.

I think they just don’t know how to write them getting to a better place, lol, how do you gloss over all that, there’s so much they’d need to go into and it feels like they’d rather just shift that to their current and future relationship. And definitely, a relationship isn’t just one person, it does a disservice to it and even Maya to have her partner be such a mystery.

Regarding that last gifset with Andy and Maya. Sometimes I get so mad at or annoyed with Maya, but then Danielle gives Maya that sad puppy dog look with those big blue eyes and I’m just like well sh*t, I forgive you too. Let me hug you. I understand why Carina has a hard time getting mad at her. I know there are bigger issues, but seriously, Danielle plays a killer puppy dog look.

Heh, I get exactly what you mean, that last moment is honestly why I giffed that scene. That particular clear eyed look Danielle has, it’s SO effective. 

But also, that’s literally why I imagine it’s easy to forgive Maya, because she does look like she feels bad and doesn’t deserve better and carries this self-loathing and man, please let her get some therapy, S19.
