Nitori
hoshiko_2000
So in this chapter:

  • Nitori is now 18

  • Nitori leaves school and starts work at a trans bar

  • Takatsuki confesses to and is rejected by her

  • It is confirmed that Nitori and Anna's relationship is now sexual

  • It is pretty much confirmed that all that we have been reading up to now is Nitori own novelisation of her and Takatsuki's growing up
My heart has just broken.


Star Trek: In to the Darkness - Review
Sherlock
hoshiko_2000
So early yesterday morning, I went to see Star Trek: In to the Darkness.

And how was it?

Absolutely fantastic.

Star Trek: In to the Darkness is an example of the rare phenomenon of a movie sequel that is actually better than it's predecessor. This is probably largely due to the fact that this movie dives straight in to the action, in contrast to the first movie, which, understandably, considering it's prequel status, devoted a lot of it's screen time to the introduction of the characters and plot. But while the time and energy devoted to introduction and scene setting did ultimately serve an important purpose for the first movie, it did mean that the first half did drag somewhat, while in In to the Darkness, we are thrown almost immediately in to the plot, making for an much more immediately thrilling and gripping cinema experience.

And as before, the cast is utterly brilliant. Chris Pine is great as Commander Kirk, Zachary Quinto is flawless as Spock. And it is also great to see Simon Pegg returning as Scotty. I don't know why, but Simon Pegg as Scotty is one of my favorite elements of the Star Trek movies. It's an example of perfect casting and it really brought a smile to my face to see him reprising his role. And, last but not least, Benedict Cumberbatch is brilliant in his first blockbuster-main role as antagonist and 'villain' 'John Harrison'. Which brings me to the main theme of this post; the depictions of love and violence and 'good' and 'evil' in the Star Trek movies.

Some spoilers for the first and second Star Trek moviesCollapse )

Authors note: This was written largely because I was very curious to explore the events that lead up to that rather ill-fated Christmas Party. On an added note, unfortunately, due to recent LJ changes this post has been deemed 'too big' and so I've had to split it in to two parts, both of which can be found here.

Part 1Collapse )

Hourou Musuko Chapter 120
Party
hoshiko_2000
Reading the raws for chapter 120, I suddenly realised how little Nitori and Takatsuki have actually seen of each other over the last few months (year, even?). Whether through awkwardness, or distance, the two really seem to have somewhat grown apart.

They've grown from being two people who shared absolutely everything with each other, to two people who are almost too shy or too awkward to even talk to one another.

And I remember what they were like at the start of the series and it just hurts.

We did not need Takatsuki looking at their childhood pictures to rub this in.

I honestly think my heart just broke T-T.

Ugh, I was expecting this, but it doesn't break my heart any less T-T.

And that final panel nearly had me in tears. Jun Mochizuki, why must you break my heart so?

Reichenbach Fall: Graveside Scene Theory
Cafe
hoshiko_2000

Recently, I’ve been thinking about the final scene of The Reichenbach Fall, where we have John standing by Sherlock’s graveside, with Sherlock watching him from a distance. Or more specifically, I’ve been wondering whether this scene may not just be the conclusion of this episode, but rather, what will prove to be the beginning of John and Sherlock’s reunion at the end of The Empty Hearse.

There are a number of reasons why I believe this.
