Audra knocking it out of the park again #TheGoodFight
see Audra's storyline is also about legacy, but in this case about someone already dead, and about someone's complicated legacy, which is just fascinating (people are always more than one thing)
Marissa cleaning Carmen's cuts ๐ญ and then egging on Diane she's such a McHart shipper #TheGoodFight
~to save me~, the medieval chivalry romance ๐๐คง๐ฅน
i need everyone to know I did not stop crying from halfway through the episode to the end #TheGoodFight
i so love that at the end of it all, it's *Liz* who helps Diane see her sense of purpose againโonly Liz could do that #TheGoodFight
OK BUT I REALLY STARTED UGLY SOBBING VIOLENTLY WHEN I NOTICED THE THEME DOESNT RESOLVE, IT GOES TO THAT STUPID YMCA SONG AND THEN THE PIANO OVER THE CREDITS IS ARRANGED TO END WITH A *DIFFERENT* CHORD PROGRESSION
little thank you note:
i loved s6, how a show goes from being amazing to somehow even better never ceases to amaze me.
to the Kings, the cast, & the crew, thank you for this incredible show. it has given me so much & I don't have the words, so just thank you.
how does Dante end? Dante goes through 9 spheres of heaven & enters the Empyrean, the place of pure light where God resides, which feels like a dream to him (cf surrealism/reality).
(Gustave Dorรฉ's Paradiso Canto 31, 19C engravings for the 1861 edition of The Divine Comedy)
his journey began with him losing faith, questioning "why", as Diane has since s1:
"In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost."
we'll start off with the Russells' mansion because it is GORGEOUSSS.
very Rococo, inspired by Fontainebleau (a reference we will get to in a sec). blue walls, light-filled, very pastel. designed by Richard Morris Hunt (he did Marble House irl).
