Ohhhh, these assholes... They knew exactly what they were doing by not giving us a preview for next week.
I had an inkling they would have a distinct separation at the midway point, both in the plot and series structure, but I was still not prepared for the swamp of my own salty tears and snot they were going to leave me in! Fk U!! In the best possible way. They pulled my heart out and danced on it today, and I loved every second of it like the masochist I am 🥲 That was glorious, thank you 🖤
I think it's obvious now who the real antagonist is, and I immediately thought: is Put trying to apologize TO Big Jane, and not to Little Jane? As in, obviously, Put seen who hit him, and has now realised, too late sadly, that he was a sacrificial chess piece in a much bigger game? Is Little Jane the Queen? 😂
I think I've only seen one clip from the modern day era (which was in the trailer) so they've done a really good job keeping that under wraps. I highly praise the storytelling capabilities here.
This show is a solid 10 for me right now, and that's not easily earned this early. I am a point hoarding dragon, and I will mercilessly chomp and burn a score down (aka bitch, whine and strop 😂) the second a show slights me! But if they can keep up this momentum throughout Vol 2 (complete with a new opening credit sequence, I assume 😍), this will be the fastest and easiest Unicorn rating I have ever given a series 😂
** Also, I did recognise the song, Midnight Hour. They used that in Heart Killers.... great song 💙
I think I will ultimately be finishing this show. I can't seem to let go of this unwavering desire to see if it can salvage itself.
On paper, it's awful. It's repetitive and clunky, it looks tacky, the acting is awkward, and while there are faint glimpses of a grander plot, it keeps reverting back into this shallow rich family drama, and it's barely scraping the surface of even that.
I can understand a low budget, but I can't excuse the lack of narrative effort. What on earth went wrong behind the scenes? Everything just screams a cheap, quickly created vehicle for BoatOat's sex scenes, and perhaps some adverts for the other couples.
Omegaverse is such a fun, complex concept to play with and I'm almost in shock that they have somehow managed to make it this bad. Just .... how? There are no rules in Omegaverse, why is the show dragging it's knuckles across the floor?
I dont want this to fail but I keep giving it grace because the core concept had so much potential, but instead of stepping up, it feels like the show is wasting its own premise, and I remain incapable of walking away 🥲
I know they're going for a pure and noble soul who will become the glue that heals everyone with Phatsa's character but he is coming off annoyingly preachy in these circumstances. He's just been plopped into this tense family dynamic, literally overnight. He is no position to be giving anyone moral lectures. I want Naphit to turn around and ask Phatsa who is he again? Stfu and sit down.
I'm going to assume that Daddy is going to cause problems with Nakin and Ongsa, trying to chase down this elusive True Omega.
We got a repeat of his scene last week, word for word, just in a fancy office this time 😂
Hmmm, the plot is thickening .... Maybe you dont have terrible luck, Great, maybe someone is sabotaging you. We havent gotten any background on Great, and yet he is a pro fighter, he seems to a single heir to a wealthy grandmother. Is there something, or someone, who is karmically tied to Great's luck. And I dont mean his future husband 😂
"It's hard to respect or enjoy a show once it hijacks your peace, and I fully respect anyone dropping out…
I think because a lot of fandom culture relies on surface level comfort, so when a show presents raw complicated scenarios, they might be trying to sanitize it to regain safety.
For me, it completely comes down to narrative intent. Sometimes horror was exactly what the writer wanted and I dont agree with that.
E.g The pool scene in Payback.There was zero creative reason for that whole sequence other than to distress the viewer. That's where I would agree with those people. It didnt need to be there. It's not depth, it was indulgence. And I am most certainly part of the group being told to watch disney over there 🥲 and it pisses me off 😂 I just have to walk away.
But when I compare that to Big Jane attempting to force himself on Little Jane here. I obviously don't condone it, but I can still emotionally connect to his chaotic feeling. His raw desire, his need for control, to own LJ, his desperation to be understood again, and any other insecurities or issues we haven't dealt with yet.
And most crucially, he stops when he realizes Little Jane isn't reacting. It was the same in the Art gallery. I'm thinking is he so used to reading people physically, from his pyschology degree, that words mean nothing to him now? Because people lie and decieve all the time.
It was only when those physical cues remind him that his intention was never to harm LJ, he stops. He knows he’s in the wrong and he'll only further push LJ away.
He’s incredibly flawed, but he is still in motion, while Little Jane is trapped between his pride and his own feelings.
It's fantastic character study for me 😂
It's just keeping footing in complicated emotional terriority that would otherwise be difficult to sit with. Even if very cartoon scenarios start happening later 😅
"It's hard to respect or enjoy a show once it hijacks your peace, and I fully respect anyone dropping out…
Good point. I would be included in that group 😅 For sensitive material, I like to give people grace because usually it's because they themselves have been disturbed, or are just not in a place to understand. Everyone's boundary is in a different place.
For me, it works as long as the story maintains its internal logic. Predictability and understanding give me a sense of safety and control. The second a writer loses sense and starts pushing for drama and reactions, it's not a controlled narrative anymore, and biology takes over.
It’s a delicate line. Morbidly fascinating when you start to learn and realise why you react the way that you do.
Fascinating psychological breakdowns in here 😍 I just assumed there is background we just haven't got to yet lol
It really proves that obsessive leads are only fun because there’s a TV screen between us. Humans, by nature, are thrill seekers. We love feeling the danger without actual living it. We can enjoy the fictional high and then put it down.
That said, it only works as long as the show stays within our emotional boundaries, like with what PB just recently did to me. There's this tightwire in the psyche, between 'this is just a feeling, It's not real' and 'I am actually witnessing this'.
The second a writer stops making sense, you risk crossing over the line and triggering an anxiety response.
So far, this show is now my no. 1, and as long as I can understand Big Jane, it can stay at No. 1
It's hard to respect or enjoy a show once it hijacks your peace, and I fully respect anyone dropping out if they are uncomfortable. I would implore you to do so.
It's taken a full 24 hours for my cortisol levels to finally settle into functioning human again. I have a whole essay rolling around my brain about gratuitous violence and trauma porn that was weaponised here, but I don't care anymore.
Instead, I want my last words to be 🫡
My official headcanon is that Jay vanished in a cloud of his own sleep farts. That's why there wasnt even a post-it note on the fridge with 'be back soon babe'. He didnt get the chance. He just went to sleep and poof 💨 Case closed 😂
I went the other way and cried 😂 I havent even started to process Sun's behaviour yet.This is a, I will watch…
Stress relief panic attack avoidance crying to be accurate 😎 It's the best since, we're just bratty whiners who need to stick to disney and not the real world 🫡 Still havent reached anger, maybe by next week lol
I made a joke earlier about my anxiety and not being able to enjoy the home making ..... I take that back. I am humbled.
What a beautiful, old, tucked away in the wilderness, white picket fenced house, with all it's rustic charm and vintage furniture, and newly planted rose tree, and two soulmates cooking together for the first time, and making coffee, and lots of love. Ahhh...It's nice. How lovely ☕️
OMG but i am seeing RED, as is this ep was brutal & very very freakin hard to sit through, but what the f*ck…
I went the other way and cried 😂 I havent even started to process Sun's behaviour yet. This is a, I will watch the last ep out of my own love and loyalty for the last 9 weeks but, damn, that was a shark in cold water.
This weekend feels like a trap 😭

I imagine there will be more with the same sentiment incoming now.
I could spend an eternity explaining myself but some people have already made up their minds ..... fk you too ....

This is a, I will watch the last ep out of my own love and loyalty for the last 9 weeks but, damn, that was a shark in cold water.
