It’s certainly possible, but it did really well, in the US and abroad, and they seem to be giving it more of a push, much more than TBH got, I would be surprised if they did. But then, I was honestly kinda surprised at TBH’s…not cancellation, necessarily, but its treatment, the lack of support behind it. The cancellation itself seemed almost logical given how they’d been treating it from the start. Though still surprising and sad when it came.
Teenage bounty hunter got cancelled
I know! I’m so disappointed. On so many fronts, tbh. First, I just liked the show and obviously especially Stepril and the twins and wanted to see what would happen to them. Second, it was a really good show, well done in every way, pacing, writing, casting, acting, so it’s disappointing to see it not succeed when it did everything right. And then, I’m just sad for them all, they seemed really nice. Plus, it bothers me that it didn’t really get the promo others did, so it just seems unfair all around.
I’m hoping things can still turn around, especially if part of this was due to covid, which seems unpredictable. It’s not like people are gonna go and make something else in the meantime, everyone’s waiting, for ALL these shows.
I noticed the fandom is pretty split on this when i ask so i will ask you as well.. Would Sterling or April be owed an apology in season 2. Some say no April was super messy knowing how Sterling felt about her being mean to her an flirting with her ex boyfriend right in her face so fucked up that pretty much evens our the dad thing. Than others are saying kind of true but she cause April alot of pain too. An she let april open up to her knowing shes why this is happening to April.
Ooh, good question. (Haha, me trying to be upbeat and act like nothing’s changed. :/)
I would think both are, no? Both doing things that hurt the other doesn’t just, like, cancel things out. You’ve laid it out quite clearly, while April is absolutely within her rights to change her mind and not come out and even break up, acting how she did at the lock-in wasn’t justified.Though I’m not sure, after that conversation, if there’d been a season 2 if Sterling would have ever have gotten an apology for specifically that. April DEFINITELY would have gotten one for Sterling hiding EVERYTHING about her dad but probably too late, probably after she found out some other way.
What do you predict wil happen to Sterling and April if we get a season 2? (Spare no details ?)
Well. The irony of this being next up on my to-answer list. Dammit. I don’t even know what I was gonna say, was kind just gonna improvise as I answered but now I’m just sad. Dammit, Netflix. I wonder if covid was a major factor, since they tape in Georgia.
That episode of when Blair is running back and forth from the record company and her date with Miles was such a sitcom/90s moment. This show was so much fun and I appreciated its lightheartedness and goofy moments.
Yeah! It was very classic even ‘80s sitcoms farce, getting into these silly situations. There was a lot of that kind of comedy, like with Bowser and when he picked up Blair’s call during the raid and like, ALL the times they went after skips, really, lol. Really enjoyed how fun it was, even aside from that type of comedy, the show as a whole seemed closer to the ‘90s style instead of the edgy darker teen stuff that’s been taking over.
In for all mankind 1×06, when Pam asked “does that scare you?” And Ellen replies, “no” I didn’t understand Pam’s reaction to that.. would you be so kind to explain it from your perspective?
Sure! I can offer my interpretation.
So, this scene starts off with Ellen having gotten anxious enough about the FBI investigation into Larry to voice her fears and frustration and suggest they take a break, right. When they’re talking about it being a phase, I don’t think Ellen even thinks that, she just grabs onto it in the middle of their argument as a possible escape, a fantasy, because otherwise this FBI thing, in one way or another, is her whole life. She originally sat up to resolve this unease by either being reassured or instigating a breakup, whichever way it ends up going.
When she says that she feels like a different person with Pam, she means it in the sense that, oh, this is “normal” me and now this is the dangerous part that likes a woman at all. She’s just talking about sexuality. But Pam means it in the sense that there’s the regular non-loving Ellen part and the loving-Ellen part as the two different versions of her, she doesn’t just mean sexuality, she’s narrowing it to Ellen specifically, making it suddenly deeper and more romantic and like, signaling a shift in their relationship, something more meaningful and committed and long-term. She knows that’s clear to Ellen too and kind of challenges Ellen, considering the conversation they’re having, if that scares her and Ellen’s “no” means, on some level, accepting that shift, instead of pulling away. So it’s a big step forward for them and Pam is, I think, emotional and pleased about it.
There’s a cut with all Lu and Mei’s scenes?
Yep: https://twitter.com/_allthelilies/status/1302607861579567104
There’s a scene earlier on that’s left unsubbed in this cut, where Mei orders Ram to let her talk to Lu alone, it’s subbed in the official versions. I love it, it’s very charged and secretly romantic once you know, so I’d hunt it up if possible, from ep 2, around 14 minutes in. If you can’t, I did make a gifset of it.
If I’m being honest I don’t agree that Lu and Mei’s storyline was only in episode 3 their storyline was in all the episodes where Lu talked about Mei with someone becuz I feel that that really informed their storyline too. The way that Lu talked about Mei to other people and how even at the end of the season Lu wanted Mei reinstated. Plus I consider the scenes they had before their relationship was revealed as part of their SL too cuz that showed their dynamic in public
Oh, I do agree, the couple of scenes in ep 2 with Mei speaking to Lu as CAPCOM and seeing Lu so reverential and emotional when others bring up Mei, that’s part of them, but while I usually encourage people to watch full shows to see interactions and character behavior outside the ship because I think the experience is enhanced, I couldn’t really justify suggesting the whole other 9 eps just for those few scenes. Not when it’s so little and there are so many scenes without even Lu.
Of course, if they want to watch from the start, that’s great, I’m not really speaking to them so much as the people who are reluctant to start at all or continue past ep 1, I think ep 3 is still worth the try, or even better, All the Lillies’ cut which includes scenes past it.
Hi, I don’t know if you or any of your followers watch soaps but, a New Zealand soap Shortland Street (no covid filming restrictions) has had a wlw ship since the beginning of this year that are really well written and they touch on a lot of topics. One of them was dv in same sex relationships and they did a good job with that. Also, one of the actresses is a lesbian and the head writer is too. They got engaged back in July. Their wedding will be coming up end of this month/early nov.
Oh, I never know what my followers are doing…a suspicious bunch. 😛
You’re talking about Maeve and Nicole, right? I don’t knowwww. I hear good things about them, but my first exposure to the show was Nicole and another woman, who I rather liked, and even then it seemed a long list of storylines with Nicole and women which ended badly and then it did. People say this seems different, but how do we really know, given it’s started in March and already rushed into a wedding? Take a bit of time! But that might just be my personal preference.
I didn’t know one of the actresses was a lesbian in real life, that might actually ensure better treatment. I dunnnnno. I mean, Kana got more than a year and then look what happened. But that is the thing with soaps, right, even if they implode in a year or three, it’s more about the journey, and it looks like these two have a solid one already. Fine, fine, you’ve convinced me! 😛 I’ll take a look at it.
Im really curious to know what you think April’s thought process was after grabbing Sterlings arm at the debate? Like i just cant get over the look in her eyes when she realizes what she did (to me she looked really freaked out)
Yay, the good thing about delaying answering these asks is that now I have the benefit of knowing from Devon’s interviews how she was playing these, so that totally affects how I think of that scene.
Although even without that, I tend to go very conservative (as in playing it safest and lowballing, not…being a rights-denying bigot) with how I read f/f scenes, just from years of not wanting to hope for too much or be called delusional or even predatory, thinking it’s more Objective to see less explicit f/f even when canon, which is–that’s a whole separate issue–but it is how I am, so I was already thinking it was more just April catching herself, realizing how emotional and upset she was getting, losing control of herself and pulling back.
And that’s backed by Devon’s interviews now, she wasn’t playing it overtly as April realizing there was something sexual or romantic there, not that that isn’t still a possible layer in all this, in fact, in canon it IS there in the whole arc, there IS some physical awareness of Sterling growing in April, but for the most part, no, I didn’t read that as the same kind of awakening for her as it was for Sterling. I mean, it wouldn’t have been an “awakening” in the same sense even, she’s long known how she feels about women, but I still don’t think it was her going, oh no, this is an intense Adele sitch. I think she was just so upset and bothered by everything in her world then, her family, Craig Wu, and most especially Sterling, things like crushes and romance were not on her mind at all, not even to suddenly snap her out of the spiraling mood.
