OUH BONNIE SINGING ⌗GIVEMEMOREE just sign my girl to riser!!!! alsoo excuse my hypercritical ass but i hv sm 2 say abt this ep just bruh pacing aside that romemhok scene so terribly ooc it makes me cry novel rome would NOT fucking say That,, and dare i say mat rome too that man would sooner burn the world to keep mhok he'd velcro himself to mhok if it were physically possible i do nawt believe dis...... just my two cents but i think they took the wrong turn w the romemhok angst cos ifl it just doesnt work for them esp not Thjs way if someone watches mat and pam back to back the shift is gonna feel so jarring. if they rlly wanted to pursue that angle it'd land better from mhok's side i actually love the concept that they're forbidden to love whyd they have to scrap that but with rome... hm it just makes me scrunch my nose a little. i could write a whole rome character study rn i truly can and i fucking will i need to venttt this version of rome measuring mhoks safety against their relationship just doesnt feel true to me not that i dont buy rome doing the sacrificing but him leaving mhok just isnt the form of sacrifice hed take yk if anything hed bulldoze through it before accepting them as they are hes pathologically obstinate like almost to a fault and that's not a trait u can just easily take ?? if the story wants him to walk away just like that i need to watch him exhaust every other option first!!!! i do like that they're showing hes grown enough to choose mhoks safety over his own happiness yea sure sure but there were more interesting ways to get there if i were beta reading this script id prob be so pissed with that scene cos wtf its so abrupt man honestly id rather have seen rome spend the arc dealing with the threat on his own lie thru his teeth get himself almost killed while mhok watches him change and drift away then the fallout wouldve felt earned but ig they just didnt have the runtime for that lol theepeach needed a dinner party the stakes just also end up feeling weirdly small considering this is the next mafia head were talking about i kinda wish they hadnt paralleled romemhok so closely with theepeach. mat gave them sm room to keep rome enigmatic and i wouldve loved to see them lean into what makes him fundamentally different from thee instead of giving him a conflict that feels literally similar to thee and maybe they could also show how mhok's situation is different from peach that man is a trained body guard ??? why r we scared for his safety now doesn't that make u scratch ur head but ykw maybe das just me if theyd had more time to flesh out their story it prob wouldve made more sense but as it is it just felt out of place idkkkkkkkkk shrug shrug shrug im not planting my flag on this just yet weve still got two episodes left so i'll save the full thinkpiece until the show's over KSKSKSJ tangina m dami m nang sinasabe but maybe they'll prove me wrong i'd LOVE to be wrong
