Am I ready for this? Yes.... but also no....
Steel your hearts and lock in with me as we journey once more into the next NEW season of "The Last of Us". Whether you've played "Last of Us: Part II" like I have, or are experiencing this story for the first time, welcome! We are all in for quite a ride so join me as I compare, contrast, dissect and let myself become absorbed by these characters once more. Let's delve into what I refer to as a "barometer for empathy". As Anne Rice would ...

Ok, I was a bit anxious again (hence the delay) but after this episode, my confidence has been fully restored! I think I've found the ideal balance between "note-taking" and letting the episode "breathe" so to speak. Appreciate the feedback and the advice!!
So, with that being said, Sic Mundus eh? Looks like there's even deeper meaning here than I initially thought. As we jump around through time to uncover that mystery, we have a whole SQUAD forming back in 2020 as more and more anxio...

Ladies and Gentleman, you are about to witness the start of our collective descent into madness. Don't get me wrong, we are enjoying our journey and time overall with this series... BUT, between the hardcore DMC fan and the normie along for the ride, more and more questions are starting to crop up regarding character decisions, animation style and overall quality of writing....
All I know? DARKCOM SUX XD

And with that, we've made it through our first stay at the White Lotus :D
Things didn't quite pan out how I thought (or frankly hoped) they would, but I really enjoyed this introduction to the show's overall format. Laughs were had, tears were (almost) shed, and debauchery was always just a room or two away!
Looking forward to continuing the series, as many have expressed their fondness for Season 2 in particular....

Our journey through the new "Devil May Cry" anime continues! A team of elite(?) bounty hunters is contracted by DARKCOM to locate and subdue Dante himself. Of course, this proves easier said than done.... oh yeah, and someone name "Lady" (but not really) in introduced? Idk... from what my gal pal says, this adaptation is certainly taking some liberties....

Hey everyone! Surprise debut of a NEW PATREON EXCLUSIVE series that I'm creating with my gal pal!
What happens when a DMC Mega Fan watches a new anime by the same name with her clueless boyfriend?? Only way to find out, hope you all enjoy this one! Let us know if you'd like to see more "couples reactions" as well! (you can find our watch-through of "Arcane Season 2" on here as well)

Egon re-considers his life choices at multiple stages of his life, Claudia comes to grips with recent revelations and what they could mean for her family, more infidelity rears its seductive head, bootstrap paradoxes are identified, missing children turn up, triple-crossing is carried out, even MURDER and much much more await....

Who knew that the rich and affluent were all so fickle? Day 3 of our tropical island getaway is here! We have fathers coming to terms with their familial relationships, husbands trying to control their wives, management falling off the wagon and doing drugs, scuba diving lessons, casual flirtation, drunken questioning of one's sexuality, inappropriate workplace conversation and much much more.
Some of you claimed that "it's not that deep" but I just might beg to differ.....

sorry for the delay on this one, had to fix an audio issue with the episode recording
I'm definitely finding myself getting more and more interested in this show as we truck along. There may just be more to these character than I initially may have thought.....
In any case, Day 2 of our stay at the "White Lotus" and while this tropical getaway may seem perfect, some of our guests still manage to find something to complain about....

What is there left to say, eh? We got answers, and we still have questions (of course).
We have triumph, we have heart-break, we have Choreography and Merriment, we have some good 'ole violence, animatronics, sacrifices, goats, blood and another "what could possibly happen next" ending to have us theory-crafting for the next 2+ years.....
Real talk though, hopefully you are all already aware, I love and appreciate all of you joining me on this jou...

Not gonna lie, I've been a liiiiittle bit nervous about continuing this series. I definitely want to, of course, I'm just worried that I'm going to miss key plot points or get super confused regarding characters and all the narrative concepts.
LUCKILY, after finally taking the leap into the Second Season, I quickly discovered that this is NOT the case :D
I'm finally (and carefully) utilizing the timeline that you all recommended and it's been a BIG help as I settle myself back...

Alright guys and gals.... we have arrived at the PENULTIMATE episode of Season 2! The stage is set, the tension is high and the tea is HOT!!
Another densely packed episode with "family values", derogatory remarks pertaining to fecal matter, the end of Wintertide internships, clandestine meetings, shaky alliances, foreboding road trips, romance and much MUCH more.....

You asked for it, so here we are! Our dream vacation at "The White Lotus" finally begins! I'm sure it will be relatively incident and murder-free, right?
Surely we'll just stick to a commentary on the wealthy & elite vs the working class and hospitality industry and leave it at that....

FYI THIS EPISODE IS NOT ACTUALLY 3 HOURS LONG!!! FOR SOME REASON, THE EDIT I RENDERED INCLUDED 1.5 HOURS OF NOTHING LOL
This may be the shortest episode so far this season, but it's no less eventful in it's own right. We finally touch base with Cobel as we head to "Salt's Neck" to dig up the past.
Are you looking for character developement? World building? Lore expansion? A nauseating amount of "theory crafting"?? Well then, you've come...

Boi ohhhhh BOI! I am PUMPED for what Season 2 is going to bring to the table after that thrilling conclusion.
I'm feeling confident! I think I finally (with a 'lil help from the online timeline) have a handle on everyone's names and family ties and the story in general. Taking a quick/small break and then I'll be going FULL-TILT into ripping through Season 2! Hope you guys and gals are enjoying, as always feel free to express yourselves below. Am I getting it? Am I still mucking it up...

My LONGEST reaction video for Severance TO DATE??? Let's just say, we have a LOT to talk about in this one.
THE. IMPLICATIONS. ARE. IMPLICATING.
We re-claim our trauma, we undergo FURTHER re-integration, we attend dinner parties with ham and expensive wine, and enjoy a 'lil hanky-panky :3

More time travel shenanigans? You betcha! Let's take things a step further though shall we?
Quickly, we find out that Winden's legacy has never truly evolved so much as it has, indeed, festered and rotted.... but perhaps there is still a chance to set things right?

In this episode: Ulrich questions the truth behind his brother's disappearance, Regina recalls her childhood trauma, Jonas journeys back into the Caves, Winden debuts it's latest Theatre piece and we find out that most people in this town were all assholes at some point....

As you can no doubt tell by the length of this particular episode, we have a LOT to talk about. I address YOUR theories as well my my own. I'm agreeing with some things, but I may be a bit contrarian regarding other takes. And the Tin Foil Hat stay ON in this bedroom ;)
