What Are We Watching

We get some of the sweetest moments between Peem and Parn this episode, so sweet that even Havoc can't deny it. We also get some unintentional comedy with their efforts at problem solving and taking care of each other. Let's all bask in the beauty of their love before the next episode brings in a new round of drama.

We discuss our initial reactions to episode 3 off the heels of episode 2 and compare that to our feelings in the rewatch as our understanding of both Peem and Parn grow. V pleads Peem's case and eventually Havoc even comes to Peem's defense - it's clear that this show and the characters are complex and give us plenty to analyze.

We have a lot to say about episode 2 and the feelings it elicited. We discuss our instinctive reactions to the scenes, explore how this aligns with the intent of the show, the execution of the scenes, and how to move forward watching this show when we left the episode feeling not so great about things.

We discuss the various shows we've been watching and failing to podcast about, until Pls Love. After watching My Safe Zone and falling in love with LenaMiu, V decided to watch PlsLove and wow there is a lot to unpack with this show. So much so that, Havoc has begrudgingly started watching so that we could discuss. We intended to cover more than one episode, but there's just too much to dissect, so please enjoy our analysis of episode 1.

SPOILER ALERTS for the GLG movie and book as we review the 10 years in the making movie from Hayley Kiyoko. Girls like Girls is a relatively lighthearted coming of age story where we get our happy ending. We discuss the movie, how it differs from the music video and the book of the same title, reflecting on our own baby gay experiences and the continued importance of WLW media.

We cannot contain our excitement for the first sapphic romance on Bridgerton and so we discuss all the setup that Bridgerton has given us so far for Franchaela, our Season 5 lead!. We review the Francesca of earlier seasons, her path to marriage, and how her relationship with Michaela has developed within the context of her marriage. We explore the ideas of compulsory heterosexuality, compare what book knowledge we have to that of the show, and begin to speculate on what's to come.

V and Havoc are back to discuss everything we're watching and we brainstorm what we want future episodes to look like. SPOILER ALERTS for Coronation Street, Bridgerton, and a few other shows that have been out for a while.

This finale of Gap the Series has our emotions on a rollercoaster, but honestly can that even compare to the turmoil Khun Sam must be experiencing. Grandmother's failing health has pulled her back in to agree to marry Kirk and Mon, the only person who actually puts Sam first, is trying to move on and GO TO ENGLAND. We struggle with understanding Grandmother's motivations while we don't accept her actions until she finally releases Khun Sam from the promise that keeps her bound to Grandmother's control. It's a race to the airport to stop Mon and we melt at the reunion before we devolve into complete tears at their beautiful wedding.

We try our best to hold it together as we discuss the episode of Gap that neither one of us could bear to rewatch until now. Khun Sam is stuck in the middle of her grandmother and Mon, having to decide if she will continue the path of dutiful granddaughter or walk away from her family at a shot for true happiness with Mon.

Part 1: Mon struggles with her feelings of inadequacy when it comes to her relationship with Khun Sam, but thankfully she has Cher and Risa to remind her what matters most is the love they share. Mon takes her apology to a whole other level when she essentially proposes to Khun Sam on the beach, confirming that she believes in their love and a future together. Part 2: We witness Mon get a crash course on the side of Khun Sam's life she's never really considered. Not only does Mon meet Sam's estranged sister, Neung, she also gets an unexpected visit from Grandmother that has her questioning if it's the right things to stay with Khun Sam. We are frustrated with Mon's conflict avoidance that has her running away from Khun Sam's home, even if we can understand it; and we applaud how far Khun Sam has come when she shows up at Mon's house to reassure her that hey can get through this - even if this, is her own grandmother, the ultimate boss.
