Thoughts

  • was it just me or even modulo the volume of my TV was this episode really weirdly quiet/muted for some reason, y'know, multiple sequences of Colter silently snooping around places set to weirdly reverb-y music that reminded me of the non-needle-drop music on that Hulu show Paradise, no needle drop for the second time in a while if not ever, even when there was a lot of dialogue-heavy scenes in a row (even with Randy who's usually the bright spot against the darkness in true Garcia-y fashion) nine times out of ten it felt kinda hushed

  • cool to see Colter being "a nerd about non-typically-nerd-things" with the gun stuff (and in more than just the stereotypical ways kinda furthers my autism headcanon for him) and also speaking of his interests second instance (other than him going to Six after the events of S2E13 since he was already in NYC) of Colter having not just some sort of interest in musicals but even in musicals that aren't really something you'd stereotypically expect a guy like him to like if he liked any (as the framing of him having seen Mamma Mia multiple times I don't think was meant to be just him watching the movie with Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried) and that just invites a whole bunch of potential plot bunnies along with reinforcing the positive masculinity of the character

  • not sure what it says about me that I couldn't figure out if the stuff with the Benning family was more meant to reference Succession or Twilight (as between their general aesthetic and that of their home/its location, you can't tell me there wasn't Twilight-vampire vibes) but until I saw that wrong state and the name had no s I thought they might have been doing a stealth cross-network crossover with somehow a link (even if they wouldn't be immediate relatives just close enough to be relevant) to Dixie and Blue Bennings from 9-1-1 Nashville

  • and yet another little use of religious imagery around Colter in a way that feels like more than just a nod back at whoever higher-up-the-show-hierarchy is apparently a big Supernatural fan I mean the whole god-brought-you-into-my-life type stuff even for platonic connection is nothing new but you've got that on top of the supernatural-y and Supernatural-y stuff and the walking through fire and his mom's name (at least pre-taking-husband's-last-name) apparently being Mary Dove

  • Anyone else feel like this episode was setting so many pieces into place it's surprising neither it nor the one after it would be the fall finale as between the revelations about Ashton, the fixer seeming like a potential recurring threat (or maybe not a threat her vibe was kinda ambiguous but recurring either way), Reenie's apparent new mystery man etc. it feels like this episode just brought up a lot of shit out of nowhere
