Lowest Common Demoninator notes
Gideon in that hat!
Also, nice reminder that the hat exists for later
Gwyn wants to go back for Bishop’s body. Makes sense given his backstory
Matt Ryan is really killing it playing a different character
Ava: Does it still
open to the factory?
Nate: Not unless
something terrible happened to that factory.
Why are they being dicks t Gideon about jumping to the
mansion? That was a really good choice
Gideon has a fever?
Gwyn hears Alan’s voice to get him to open the door to hell
to allow the plot premise to happen
Sara: Wow babe. This is your most complicated murder board
yet
Why do none of them notice they hurt Gideon’s feelings? Except Gary.
What a bunch of jerks
I guess it makes sense that their response would undermine
Gideon’s confidence
Why are they not taking advantage of the fact that their Gideon
understands exactly how evil Gideon thinks.
Big mistake
The reality show shaky cam starts in the kitchen scene, but
they don’t make a big thing of it yet.
Does Behrad see his use of weed as problematic? That’s a weird note, it’s never been an issue
before.
Nate thinks of Behrad as future little brother in law. And Zari 2.0 is his best bud. They do have a nice vibe. I like that they’ve never made it weird about
them hooking up
***Thank you. But I
hate that.
Spooner and Astra say it’s hot, I thought that would tie in
to Gideon’s fever
I like when Gwyn calls Spooner Esperanza
LOVE the alternate title card?
I like that they’re leaning into Astra having useful
knowledge about hell
AAva momentarily considers whether it would be a good idea
to let everyone get possessd, and then dismisses the idea. That’s a funny joke
Is it weird that I really like Zari’s bra?
The credits are in scary font
Astra: Behrad! Don’t
sneak up on people in Hell!
I wish I knew how much of the camera work is direct
reference
Tala Ashe is playing Zari Terazi dressed like Zari Tomaz,
and it’s really well done.
Why do they think they get a vote if Gideon and Gary hook up
They’re determined to blame Gideon for coming to the mansion
as if that was a bad idea. That is so
rude.
They don’t have an actual home, Sara. Stop being mean to Sara
The cursed crew is a fun idea
So demonic film crew that’s forcing them to act like they’re
in a reality show
Harris Leeds.
The demons have to capture ‘something real’ so, subtheme of addressing your real emotions
KUWTT – Keeping up with the Terazis – They recast Behrad on
the family’s show. That’s heartless
They’re providing Sara with wine and jewelry – Honest fangirl
says she’s doing Real Housewives. It
seems so random without that context
I like that they’re open about how fake and forced reality
TV shows are
Are Nate and Zari big brother? One of those love island or whtever shows?
Is Gwyn something specific?
It’s frustrating not knowing.
I like that Gwyn hasn’t forgotten about Alan
It’s a little forced how Sara phrased that Gwyn could save
one person from the timeline instead of just saying Alan.
The naked thing is a reference to Richard Hatch, right?
Astra is THE BOSS striding through hell.
The receptionist says Demoninator
Astra: Harris. Still negging like it’s 2007?
Harris: It’s called
trolling now.
Astra has this all taken care of if Behrad had done the logical
thing and trusted her. Hell is her turf
after all. They’re making him stupider
for the sake of the plot, which I’m not a fan
of
Harris is very Jason Lee in Dogma
Behrad, shut up, you’re making this worse
Harris assumes Behrad is a nice guy with dark secrets, but
he’s really just a nice guy with no darkness inside him
I was worried Astra would have trouble getting back to the
mansion and then Harris just snapped her there.
Gary: Well I enjoyed
every bit of that. And not just the
chocolate, the sex was great too.
Gary’s right, Gideon is just fine as she is, the Legends
were just being dicks to her.
Gary said he loved her too soon. Typical
The confessional chair is Big Brother, right?
Is Gideon dressed like a Robert palmer girl? Where did she get that dress?
Gideon is actively undermining everybody else, but what does
she actual want to accomplish?
All the crash zooms are fun, but I wish I knew what they
were a reference to
Gwyn is worried that the rest of the team isn’t focused on
helping Alan
Religious gestures are censored. That’s a cute joke.
B. says he’s chill and doesn’t have trauma and is chill
Natey-H has gone full Jersey Shore
Why is naked Spooner crouched behind a plant?
Spooner acknowledges that none of them really know what they’re
competing for or how.
So many people eavesdropping
I’m not a huge fan of Nate’s Jersey accent. It’s a little too on the nose
I’m sure all this camerawork is a deliberate reference
So now Gwyn wants to save Franz Ferdinand and avert world
war 1
Is Sara’s cadencing a direct reference to Real Housewives?
Is Ava a direct reference to something?
It’s pretty on brand
for Spooner to be so enthusiastic about forming alliances and betraying them.
Always great to see Zari 1.0!
Gideon’s going to transport them into a tornado.
Having Gary around to eat things is a useful way to get rid
of stuff
This is all pretty funny farce stuff
They’re playing Behrad’s pot use like it’s an addiction that
he struggles with, and they’ve never done that before.
So this is the backstory of why Behrad is so chill and relaxed. That feels like unnecessary explanation. I liked it better when that’s just who he was
It feels weird to have this ‘Behrad’s been hiding his pain all
this time’ vibe. There’s never been a
hint of that
And so Behrad breaking through his fear of being ‘real’ with
people is what frees the camera crew. That’s
just… I mean.. .I guess. But it all feels
so out of nowhere.
They’re actung like Behrad has been using pot to suppress all
his bad feelings, but even Harris verified that he doesn’t really have any bad
feelings. That’s a mixed message.
For being ‘A moment of real’, this is the most Peter Brady ‘wow,
I really learned a lot today’ speech that Behrad has ever given
Was the point of this episode just to get Behrad and Astra
together? What did we accomplish season
plot wise?
Gideon had turned off her emotions. Did we know she could do that? Amy P. is breaking my heart here
Ava’s concern about being the ‘house mom’ feels kind of out
of nowhere also
I do like that they’re essentially making a promise to the
viewers that they’ll get to the whole ‘rescuing Alan’ thing
Zari making Nate and Zari apologize to each other is sweet
God Bless them for not having Behrad pretend to have only
said what he said because of the spell, but instead instantly owned it as being
real.
Behrad refers to himself as being ‘sober’ now, which feels
way out of nowhere
Love that Spooner is still totally casual being naked
God bless Gary for insisting that they apologize to Gideon
AND including himself as deserving one.
That’s uncommon self care for Gary
Also, great that Gideon calls them out for being total hypocrites
about their relationship
Gideon: It’s nice
feeling emotional again. It’s like a
warm and gooey feeling, as opposed to a cold and calculated urge to murder.
Nate: Say what?
Gideon: Hah. Just kidding.
I’m quite funny, actually.
So Gideon wants to go to Sarajevo 1914, save Franz
Ferdinand, and prevent World War One. I
wonder how that’s going to work out.
