THE WEST WING 2.02 / 2.22

happy may the 4th :)

having feelings about Josh and CJ both having tunnel vision during the transition stage between administrations, and both Danny and Donna use the same talking points on them.

it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system. he doesn't value the cultures of the people he assimilates—notice how all the vampires he turns dance to his culture's music using his culture's dances, and how he only uses the languages or knowledge other vampires have to offer when he needs to manipulate someone. Remmick is extremely transparent about the way he sees the people he turns as resources to exploit.

he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.

If you ask me: This is the most important scene of the whole season and Carmy is not even in it.

The affection, the quotidianity, the fact that it can change it all. Less than a minute.

Me, feral and foaming at the mouth as security hauls me off the Doctor Who set: "YOU LEECHES!!! YOU CAN'T KEEP THE WARDROBE ROOM FROM US FOREVER COWARDS!!!! SHOW US THE COMPANION ROOMS! WE WANT TO SEE BELINDA'S ROOM, RUBY'S ROOM, EVEN THAT ONE ROOM THAT'S JUST A VOID WITH A CHAIR IN IT! YOU CAN'T KEEP THE TARDIS'S OTHER ROOMS FROM US FOREVER! WE HAVE RIGHTS!!!" (bites a guard and vanishes in a puff of chronon particles)

Childhood obsessions do NOT go away. They lie dormant, waiting to take over again.
