Okay so it wasn't horrible but I'm really kind of annoyed on how they portrayed their characters and the story lines. Also this is just my opinion I don't mean hate to any of the cast members or anything like that

First of all Mal would NEVER leave Alina like idk why but that felt really out of character for him

Also in the books, Nikolai LOVED being Sturmhond. That was his escape from everything and a way he could do what he wanted to do without having to be worried about his royal status. Again I feel like him giving up Sturmhond to Mal is just a bit weird like the whole of KoS and RoW plot lines would not be the same and if a 3rd season does happen, then they are clearly going to try and include those plot lines because of what happened with the nichevo'ya

ZOYA GOT ROBBED OF HER SCREENTIME! Zoyalai is literally endgame and I don't get how they are going to do this when they barely said a word to each other this whole season

I'M REALLY ANNOYED ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO WESPER! Like yes I loved seeing them interact and it was honestly so cute but I feel like their relationship got severely rushed and after Jesper got over his crisis about him being durast, everything was fixed after one scene which just didnt feel right to me. Also they missed a massive amount of their story from the books by speeding up their relationship like they included plots from CK when SOC is just about to happen at the end of the season so the whole thing with Kuwei is not gonna work as well

WHY DID DAVID DIE SO EARLY?! His death was completely brushed over by the other characters and they completely jumped over key points in Genya and David's relationship and considering how David and Nikolai interact in KoS duology we got to see none of that in the show

I feel like the Kanej plot line was also really rushed as well like the hallucination didn't really make sense to me but that might just be me

I also really wished we got more Helnik in it like they did it well but its a shame it wasn't included more

I get that the show is different from the books and I'm find with that but I think they carried out some of the plot lines really badly and it would have been better if it wasn't all so rushed

I have some thoughts about One last stop by Casey Mcquiston and reviews I've seen by Argentinian book influencers mainly on tiktok and instagram.

I don't know if they all came to an agreement to say shit about the book or the "ringleader" told them all what to say. Literally every person from my country who's read the book has talked absolute SHIT about it. One of them even claimed this is the WORST book recommended by tiktok, and because she has a lot of influence over the community, a lot of people started saying they will not be reading the book. About this, I have some shit to say.

1. If you liked Red, white and royal blue (by the same author) and you didn't like One last stop, you may be a bigot. Don't get me wrong, I love Alex and Henry, but August and Jane's story is truly beautiful and well constructed as well. Is it that you don't like that they fall in love quickly or is it that you can't sympathize with queer women?

2. American politics are impossible to understand if you're not American. That being said, Red, white and royal blue has a lot of talk about politics, and that's fine because it's essential, so we gotta put up with it. Now, what about queer history in One last stop? I've seen people say One last stop has a lot of filler that adds nothing. I think all the little stories are important to the development of the story. The pancake place, Auggies story, everything.

3. One last stop features a main character who is a 23 year old bisexual woman struggling to make ends meet. Been there, done that. That's all I gotta say here, this character is hella relatable if you struggle with work and money and love and housing.

4. August is such a sweetheart. She's so caring, and stubborn, and funny, and clumsy. She's a proud woman trying to make something of her life.

5. Regarding influencers, I gotta say they have more power than we realize. I know I have to be the person choosing what interests me and what I want to read. Some people, unfortunately, don't know better, so they'll consume what's fed to them. There's this girl who is a writer and of course she wants ppl to read her book, but this very same person said One last stop is the worst book that "came out of" tiktok, meaning it became popular in the app. So her fans or followers now will not read the book because she said it's bad. A lot of people, not only her, recommend books with horrible plots or characters, with content that may be harmful for some people. And they glorify the books!! What's to glorify about an asshole of a male character who treats women like shit? because inside he cares about her!! Please. Have some common sense.

6. I know. I know I'm making it too big of a deal. But the thing is, when I read One last stop I recommended it to everyone because I loved the characters, loved the story and the way it made me reflect upon our history. I remind you I live in Argentina, but unfortunately hate crimes do exist here. I could go out tomorrow holding a girl's hand and be beaten to death. My brother can be assaulted in the streets for being gay. No queer person is safe and it's really important for us to think about this. Shit like this happened in the 70s and they still happen today in 2022. This is our history. We should never forget the names of people who died trying to live their lives freely and unafraid.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I HAVE ONLY ONE THOUGHT AFTER THAT EPISODE

(credit to @techsluvr for the meme lol)

Rex: You do realise there's a rumour going around the GAR that you're in love with General Kenobi?

Cody: A rumour? Are you telling me people are doubting it?

The sealed fate of the Clones in The Bad Batch

The last scene between Vice Admiral Rampart and Captain Wilco is a dark foreshadowing of what’s to come for the clone army. “Corruption corrupts absolutely.” A horrible truth in the age of the Galactic Empire that will spell the end of the clones - pristine soldiers known for following rules and regulations to the letter. As seen with Wilco, clone troopers will not falsify reports for the personal needs of a superior.

An incorruptible force is now up against natural born, superior officers and political leaders who will stop at nothing to gain and retain as much power as the Empire will give them. Their fate is sealed and it’s so heartbreaking.

In conclusion, the Empire sucks and Rampart is #1 on my shit list. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Cody going AWOL on the Empire and then going AWOL on us...
