We watch a lot of TV and movies! So yeah, we’re fangirling over a lot of things! Each week we come together to highlight all the feels they give us throughout the week. On these Fangirlish Feels of the Week, there are five categories and many thoughts! Ready?
Here we go!
Best Scene of the Week
Raquel: This week I have two moments from Blood of My Blood Season 2, Episode 6: the scene where Ellen realizes that Lovat killed her baby—with Lovat revealing this to Julia in the cruelest possible way—and the one where Dougal is rescued from prison… leaving none other than Black Jack alive. That was a shocker!
Ashley W.: The exorcism in VisionQuest episode 4: “Malware” was ridiculously amusing but so fitting. It was such a fun and creative way to tie the technological aspects of the show to the supernatural elements of the WandaVision trilogy as a whole.
Rachel: The climactic battle of the new stop-motion animated film Wildwood is STUNNING. I am just amazed at how they pulled off something that complex and intense in stop-motion. It’s not just intricate, it looks gorgeous, too. (Thank you, legendary cinematographer Caleb Deschanel!) A sequence like this would be complicated to accomplish in live-action, but in this type of animation, it’s mind-boggling.
Lizzie: The scene with Vision and Tommy in episode 3 got me. It wasn’t Tommy saving Vision, it was what he said before and then the hug we got after. I don’t think it’s as simple, of course. Vision might be an android but he’s still a man. So he’ll take the longest possible road to the truth. But I still loves the moment of vulnerability between father and son.
Plus, we also had a Gibbs and Tony reunion this week on NCIS: Origins, so I gotta talk about Gibbs and Tony! And it felt so them, too. So them but grown up? Who would have thought?
Ship of the Week
Raquel: Brellen have been separated by the war for a while now, but they’re still winning for me. Although Henry and Julia are starting to climb the ranks.
Rachel: This week, I’ll go with Martin and Louisa on Best Medicine. Even though, yes, Louisa technically hooked up with someone else, this week was still big for them because Martin broke up with Eden. And how that happened supported the Martin/Louisa ship. Eden accidentally found a letter Martin wrote declaring his feelings for Louisa. She thought it was for her and Martin had to tell her the truth. The words of the letter ( “I want to be with you as long as you’ll put up with me.”) are what ships are made of.
Lizzie: Can I say Wanda and Vision on VisionQuest even though Wanda is technically not even alive? The show has been giving us glimpses of Vision talking about her, thinking about her and there was a moment in Episode 4 where it almost felt like he was finding his feelings for her again. He shut off, of course, because finding that means he’ll have to feel the pain of her absence. But it’s still proof that the love is there, deep down.
Best Performance of the Week
Raquel: Harriet Slater and Tony Curran of STARZ’s Blood of My Blood.
Ashley W.: I really enjoyed seeing Miranda Cosgrove as Natalie, the latest sub, in the new episode of Abbott Elementary. The twist on her character was hilariously great. I wish they would’ve extended her storyline, because her addition made for an interesting dynamic that would’ve been fun to see throughout a few episodes as opposed to just one.
Rachel: I think I have to say Paul Bettany in VisionQuest this week. The scene where Vision gave Ultron control of his core processors, I saw Ultron come out in Bettany’s performance. The look in his eyes was different when Ultron was in control. I’m always impressed when an actor can make something like that work, and Bettany did it.
Lizzie: Ruaridh Mollica in VisionQuest. Period. How is he so good? No, wait, how is he Tommy Maximoff already? It’s been four episodes and I’m that Rosa from B99 gif about his existence. Protect him at all costs, he’s too precious.
Moment that Annoyed Us This Week
Ashley W.: Mallory from Chicago Med has been annoying from the start, but it was especially frustrating too watch her just accept DCFS coming to take away the grandma even though they’d establish there was no child abuse going on whatsoever. When Frost smashed that tablet in response, it was totally valid. Also, on VisionQuest, what did Vision expect when he decided to trust Ultron?!!!!
Rachel: Did Mark and Eden really have to hook up on this week’s episode of Best Medicine? Josh Segarra and Eliza Coupe made the comedy of the moment work but to what end? Eden has always called the citizens of Port Wenn “lobster people” and now she’s just sleeping with one of them? Just felt unnecessary overall.
Lizzie: I’m torn between complaining that everyone on The Traitors: New Blood is so very bad at the game, and complaining that Victor is so annoying that no one even listened to him even when he was dead right. I don’t even know if I want someone to save him.
Quote of the Week
Raquel: “I need to go home. I just need to go home.” – Ellen from Blood of my Blood Season 2 Episode 6.
Ashley W.: “Please don’t tell her, though. She’ll tell God.” – Janine Teagues in Abbott Elementary season 6, episode 3: “Tryouts.”
Lizzie: Vision: [Speaking to Tommy] “I’m going to need you to bring me back. You have the power, you’ve felt it. You’ve seen it, growing, charging. You are the very essence of speed.” – VisionQuest.
