Ridin' The Range! [Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora]

family dynamics

I just want to reiterate and stress just how exactly good of a pilot The Umbrella Academy had, from beginning to end, most notably, within the episode's first ten minutes.

The horrifying, body horror-esque beginning of a girl who wasn't pregnant before she jumped into the pool emerging not only pregnant but also now, suddenly, abruptly, going into active labour, punctuated by the sounds of stretching, tearing, ripping fabric.

The smooth introduction of the universe, the world, the situation, most notably, of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, as narrated by Pogo.

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

The abrupt juxtaposition of he got seven of them written stylized on the screen while "Picture Book" by The Kinks plays.

The "Phantom of The Opera" violin medley, Vanya playing to an audience of no one while on stage. Diego, vigilante justice and still in their childhood Umbrella Academy masks. Luther, alone on the moon. Allison on the red carpet. Klaus, fresh from rehab, another thirty day token.

The moment, when, each of them learned their father had died.

All of it—all of it—packed. It flowed. It rolled. And it didn't stop, until the end of the episode.

And contrast all of that, sharply, and directly, to what we got in season three.

He teleported on the fucking BIKE, can he stop being cool for 5 SECONDS

Watching the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is realizing that despite the obvious implication that Lucy Gray is the songbird and Snow is the Snake…it’s likely the opposite.

Lucy gray controlled the snakes and used them as her weapon of choice, the snake biting him was Lucy’s kiss goodbye. She is the snake.

Snow sold Sejanus out through the jabberjay’s, they were his tool to fly back home and back into power. He is the songbird.

But at the same time…as in her Ballad, Lucy Gray flys away with the mockingjays after she sings the Hanging Tree one final time while fleeing Snow. She is physically a songbird. And Snow chose to work with Dr. Gaul, who created and controlled those snakes. He was the snake who betrayed his friend.

Who is the songbird and who is the snake? It’s unclear, but isn’t that the mystery?
