October 9th, 2025 - Peacemaker? more like peakfaker...

I love not being stressed! picture of the guy breaking his chains Was the day busy? Yea absolutely. Did I do my best? Yea absolutely! I literally put my best foot forward today and let nothing get me down, not to mention that our boss was not overbearing, she was stressed but we were not her outlet. It was 11:30, we were just barely ready, even waiting on roasted vegetables; and yet we persevere. Around lunch, Tita sent Drez and I upstairs to scout the pot luck they had going on. We left with 8 boxes worth of food. We missed Nuria at lunch. She ate at our table but without any of us around. Yesterday we started a jar for anyone that says Liz’ name. I’ve already put in like $8.

I had to sprint out of the place, we took a long lunch after I devoured my food and then my mom started calling while we were cleaning. I read her statement as needing me between 430-530 but instead we were supposed to be there at 430. I left my coworkers to clean, I hate doing that. Annjelette doesn’t deserve to always be stuck on dishes while she watches coworker after coworker say goodbye… I told her I’d make it up to her but she insisted that, that’s how it goes. I would stay if she had to leave. She’s right but it doesn’t subside my guilt.

I knocked out at the girl guide place. It was just my mom, Freya and I. They set up their little table to recruit and I slept beneath it. When I work up I grabbed some food from their grill and we dropped my mom off someplace in Sauga. Freya and I got home. I showered off my stank and sweat from the week and booted up the final episode of peacemaker.

Peacemaker season 2 is definitely a show that I watched. I don’t remember what episode it was, but I recall weeping at the ending and wondering where we were gonna go from there… if only I knew. I jest-! Mostly. The ending ties off some loose ends and creates new threads for stories but overall it feels weak. The character work is phenomenal; the plot? Small. I don’t need them to fight another Kaiju but you’re telling me the focus of the story wasn’t the other earth? That it was just a narrative device to make Chris feel like shit? To show us that his friends would go to another world to get him back? To create a new villain for him? Guys, that was like most of the season, what do you mean we’re gonna save it for later?? Argus too, feels small. A tiny warehouse with a fold up table, and a control room. I feel like I’m watching a CW show. Even old NewWho had better set design. I liked the romance, it felt real. I loved Vigilante tackling tf outta Peacemaker so they could talk, everything after that scene was great. My eyes were never dry. But… it felt empty as a final episode. Like we lacked resolution. I feel edged. The every first episode is Chris stumbling upon the other earth, and then we postpone that plotline in the penultimate episode. Only for us to just use Dues Ex Machina (not really) money to create Checkmate? I actually really liked that. I thought this show creating that organization was an interesting direction to take and would love to see a checkmate show if these are the cast of characters. So now we have this happy ending that isn’t really, but feels rushed or forced? The proper word escapes me. Earned? Then, after we get our happy ending for the second season we fall, and are left to hang from a cliff until they drop another season. Wild stuff. I’m lowkey high key tired of James Gunn dawg. I love his work but he over saturating the market. I understand that all DC projects need to have a really good script to get greenlit but does anyone have to vet Gunns work? Does he get to just make whatever he wants? I liked Adebayo and her wife splitting that was a good scene. Episode felt messy. We spent too much time in that pocket dimension. I dunno. Not everything is for everyone, I don’t need to like it. I enjoyed the parts that I enjoyed. I didn’t like the parts I didn’t like. And that’s chill.

Ugh, it’s 11 time for bed! Goodnight!
