yea i think something is wrong with viki. i’m also getting notifications for episode releases for shows that are already done airing like semantic error
I’m really confused isn’t there a new episode today. It’s not on Viki yet 🤔
weirdest thing. it was available earlier today with subs (i was half way thru the episode) but they randomly made it unavailable? i’m not sure if it’s a glitch or something to do with changed agreements or what
that doesn’t mean i have to agree that the series is failing on its commentary on sociopolitical issues to centre offgun’s relationship lol.
tbh i think the commentary has gotten better in some aspects. there have been issues from the start of the series that i think they’re finally addressing. like for me, i thought the series was going to take a route that was dismissive to police corruption, like a « not all cops are bad » message, but they’re not. i think this episode really highlighted that even if some cops aren’t « bad ppl » they still align themselves with a system that is oppressive. that there is no change when operating under the rules of a corrupt institution, that police don’t protect the working class but rather the interests of elites etc.
dan should have never became a cop, but he did. he never should have stayed a cop, but he didn’t quit. he’s part of the problem and we get to see that. i’m sure we will get to see (more) consequences of cops acting out against the system too (i.e. i think he’s gonna die)
i’m also not an offgun stan, although this series has definitely given me a soft spot for them, which is why i rewatched ToL recently. i like their characters bcs i find the development interesting. sean learning to trust and white becoming aware of the intentional failings of the system. black only grew on me last week bcs i empathized with him after gram’s betrayal and to extent the gang’s. i care for sean, in particular, tho. i see him as a victim of police violence. i empathise with him the most and root for his happiness and healing
(i don’t care about yok bcs of the cop thing. i don’t care about gram bcs of the cop thing and the eugene thing,. i’m indifferent to gumpa.)
don’t get me wrong, i don’t think the series is perfect. i think the disability analysis is shallow, and there are a lot of unanswered questions (where tf is white’s dad?) but i’m also willing to wait to see if those questions will be answered.
i have more feelings but i don’t really have the energy to delve any further than i have. that said, i’m not going to tell you your view of the series is wrong. it’s all subjective, but don’t assume to know my motivations pls
sidenote: i also love todd’s betrayal. there’s almost never an ethical way to get that rich. rich ppl will always protect the interests of the rich/their own interests. his character was also a problem for me that is finally getting addressed, and i love to see it. i was scared it would be a « not all rich ppl are exploitive » message. his remaining friendship with black is an interesting twist too that i’m looking forward to the series exploring, but no i don’t care if he dies. he’d deserve it
It's sad, but I'm glad that Dan betrayed them and not Gumpa
same. i don’t think any of them could emotionally recover from gumpa betraying them, whereas they never fully trusted dan in the first place (well at least sean and black didn’t)
he didn’t put two and two together and come up with reincarnation lol (that would be lunacy i agree 😭). the…
you’re projecting very hard on a complete stranger lmaooo. like imagine calling other ppl out for being triggered while responding like this. im 😭😭 i needed that laugh thank you.

i dont engage with ppl who go on tangents about sjws (that brought me right back to 2010 tumblr) and call r*pe a juicy plot line, so i think we can end this convo here. it’s likely a pointless endeavour for the both of us
