  • I rewatched episode 4 of The Pitt as well before going into episode 5. The real-time format makes it hard to watch week by week as I’d forget the patients but damn it’s so heavy sometimes that you really do need a break between episodes. Again, very unusual for me normally to re-watch an episode so soon but it’s so well made that I was glued to the screen the whole time revisiting everything. And I really couldn’t stop crying over the bit with the siblings and their elderly father, especially the sister. 😭 It is really good tv. I suspect near the end of the season I’ll end up re-watching the whole thing from the start. I love so many of these characters

    It’s so crazy right?! I can’t imagine that they’d be able to cover up smelling of goats every day. And they do look seriously deranged.

    I read somewhere that the goats in S1 were included as more of a non-sequitor but because they were so popular with the audience they have an expanded role in S2 lol. I wouldn’t be surprised (and would actually kind of prefer) if they didn’t explain what the goats were for in the end, it’s just one of the unfathomable mysteries of a big corporate office…

    Oh man, the hidden conversation between Milchick and Natalie was a masterclass in facial acting. I rewatched it several times just to see the point at which Natalie was silently begging with her eyes for Milchick to just go along with it despite how stupid and insulting the gift was lol.

    It sure is going to be a slow wait, but I do also love that we have time to digest and analyse been episodes, the online communities are absolutely buzzing right now and it wouldn’t have been the same if all the episodes dropped at once. Though I almost wish they did the first two together.



  • There’s a brief moment in S1

    that shows...

    … The ventilator mask is actually for a Charlotte Cobel, date of birth March 17, 1944. It’s in one of the episodes when they show a close-up of the shrine in Ms Cobel’s house.

    Lots of theories since then about how Cobel’s motivation to prove reintegration might be tied to bringing Charlotte (mother?) back, tied into the broader assumption that the ultimate goal of the Severence chip and whatever MDR is doing relates to recreating a personality and bringing back a dead person a la Gemma. It’s all very unclear ATM!



  • Yesterday’s episode of Severence was so good I watched it again which is super rare.

    There is no way that could be Helly R down there. It has to be Helena, I’d be so annoyed if it wasn’t. Irving knows and Dylan is twigging onto it too.

    Dylan and Gretchen are going to be the actual throuple.

    The actress playing Felicia had the best facial acting when she gave Irving a hug. I felt like I was being hugged myself.

    Devon’s strained “yis…” when Natalie asks her a question as she’s about to leave the horrific Ricken ego-fest was one of the best lines from an already amazing actress who sounds so uncannily real in every line read.

    The goat people are almost all homeless or drug addicts hence the awful skin and hair.

    Cobel hurriedly left because she recognised the bodyguard from something and realised she wasn’t going to leave that building alive - or at least not without her memories.

    and now to wait for next Friday, sigh.



  • Rolled outta bed late and dehydrated but still managed to hoist myself out to do the needful:

    ⛽ Car filled up

    🚘 Car given a long overdue clean and vac - tired of Monday’s gunk

    🌬️ Car tyres pumped although I still get the tyre pressure warning…

    🥕 Bought fruit and veg at my old shops on the way back (almost drove back to my old place out of habit 💔)

    🍲 That includes a shit tonne of vegan snags and easy cook shit at the Fancy Woollies which I miss DEARLY despite the shitty parking

    🍦 Grabbed half price ice cream and cheap chips from the shops across the road

    🧹 Vacuumed the joint

    🚿 Had a shower with hot water coming out of the cold tap, as usual on hot days, because this place sucks that way

    ❄️ Aircon on

    🍽️ About to have a late lunch

    That’s it. Staying PUT until Monday. I have plenty of food options. Window shades on my car windscreen because I’m not going anywhere. Need to buy a dash cover.

    So many Severence theories to catch up on and then time for this week’s The Pitt, then I’ll need to tackle the dishes and get round to reading Juice tonight.
