First we have to finish up the rest of jump rope, and the VIPs are clearly very on edge ever since they got cut off from CC Baxter's apartment. At least that's how I'm figuring they came up with the idea to keep the baby as a full player, to which I imagine even In-ho has to be thinking "You fucking people." Gi-hun proves himself a better person than I'd be under the circumstances by not taking the opportunity to get rid of 100 before going after 96, and it's quite something to see him threaten to push the guy off and be taken seriously enough that 96 momentarily backs down. But the show knows how we want to see this end (wait a minute, have we been the VIPs all along? Squid Game, you have truly stuck your giant cock into my ear and fucked my mind!), and all I can say is, there's worse ways to have your eye taken out. Just ask Benjamin Bratt. I got more of a kick than I may have been meant to out of the sheer amount of confusion and obvious rule patching that results from the confirmation that Samara Morgan really is a player from now on. Hwang clearly knows the audience would have a hard time going along with this, and has the characters voice all the same objections we'd come up with. And I just love imagining how the decision of which guard would be in charge of her bottle for the last meal went down. That's where knowing rock paper scissors would really come in handy, I'm guessing. So that was all good stuff, now on to the rest of the episode, and...no. No, I can't do this. It's too long. Stop telling your stupid story about the stupid boat and just die already! DIE! Oh, a bunch of people actually did. Okay, carry on. And the whole race through the police station was actually more thrilling than some of the actual games with its more concrete stakes and lack of assurance that the main figure would make it out. Again, I won't say all the time wasted here in Season 2 was worth it, but I'm minding all this a lot less than I was expecting. I didn't get quite as much as I should have out of the final scene, because all I could think of was that Gi-hun must be thinking as the mask came off, "Huh, somehow I completely forgot about you." But it does finally give a solid idea of what he was trying to do this whole time, and I genuinely don't know which side the show will end up leaning on with just two episodes to go, so that's always a sign that the story is doing its job. One other thing I feel the need to point out, and believe me, I didn't go looking for this, it just happened to pop into my head. But I'm now getting the feeling that if someone wanted, they would have an easier time than they should accusing the show of shoving an anti-abortion message at us in its last few episodes. No way I believe Hwang intended that, and I'm certainly willing to give it more leeway than Kill the Moon, but just look at the facts: A newborn baby is the thing that snaps Gi-hun out of his existential funk, its mother willingly sacrifices her life for it, and the various bad guys immediately jump to wanting to murder it. We'll just have to see how much the ending plays into that.

Full disclosure: I’ve gone further ahead and finished the season. I was planning on sticking with my viewing strategy of watch one, see your reaction, watch the next one, and so on and so forth. The internet started to get far too goddamn LOUD about shit, so it no longer felt safe to wait. None of that is your fault, on the off chance that it sounds like I’m saying it is. I’m not. Just somewhat venting at the internet for thinking everyone just binged the whole thing in one day, and therefore, just chatters away in an inconsiderate manner. Now to the first chapter of the second half of the final season. Lot to say. Start with No-eul. She is making the valiant effort to save the dad. Again, would not call this her redemption arc as she does not give two shits for any of the other players, but you’ll take the win of the dad living. Masked man in charge finds out the score, forcing her to come back, though we do both like her being crafty. Next is everyone’s least favorite plotline. Or, well, everyone’s least favorite plotline which does contain Woo-seok doing the most, that you live for. Says a lot about a man that shot a dog that you still live for him after that one. Hard to fault the cops as the story does sound ludicrous. One of those cases, where you remind yourself of the fourth wall knowledge, and note, in this case, that although Woo-seok is telling the truth, you note about the cop, “I know that, but does HE know that?” Captain Park really hits a height of unlikability when he doesn’t care about the dog. He went to work quick. Very good on Woo-seok for getting his phone and the warning out, even with the cops on his ass. Took more cops to hold him down than it took to hold down Kola Kwariani at the racetrack, which is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself. Lived for your reaction there, and when Jun-ho harpooned Captain Park. And now they have the general area to look. The jump rope game continued in earnest, love how you called out 096 for not getting it about Gi-hun. Man really did not have a sharp eye about these things. Makes for some poetic justice with Gi-hun indulging in the go for the eye, then bye strategy, smart play. Gi-hun shows his continued spirit by helping the other players, even Jeong-dae, the bitch ass coward as you succinctly put it. See you’re kinder to crypto fucker than I, holding him to task for your girl aside. He can make whatever sales pitch he wants, and you can tell that Jun-hee is not having it. Nor were you for that matter, and no need to apologize as I got in on it myself. In her place I’d make the simple request, “Only don’t tell me you’re innocent. Because it insults my intelligence. And makes me very angry.” We share not holding him at fault for not helping the one guy as that one’s impossible. You get me in the heart with your reaction to Jun-hee’s death. We assess largely the same that there was just no scenario where she was living past this game. And she went out on her own terms, heartbreaking though it was. The rather morbid topic: There is the fear that you’ll land in the wrong way and you won’t die instantly, so I can see the favoring of just having the pink soldiers just shoot you. The discussion coming up is definitely the OCD, I can verify that. The mind just taking some of the darkest most obtrusive thoughts and shaking them about a few dozen times a day. Sometimes you do have to say some of it aloud to just get it out of your system. Hence my not faulting you there. I sympathize and empathize greatly, Jess. And now the baby is the player, and all your reactions are outstanding. Especially when you anticipated how the other players wanted to kill the baby, which is unsettling. Leads to the dinner, which prior to the season, the internet circulated the image of Gi-hun in his finery. I suspect that was in the trailer. Meaning that I was spoiled that he’d make it at least this far. Bringing us to something that pulled me out of things: So, the one thing that completely fucking broke the suspension of disbelief in this entire show was the goddamn baby bottle. These guys just happened to have that on hand? Or like you asked, what guard got tasked with buying that, and has to ask, “...Is there a Ralph’s around here?” Loved your response to the players getting the hint on the game, and how they voted. Admirable your assessment is of crypto fucker there, and you have the next episodes to see how that plays out. Hear you on being on team Gi-hun and the baby. Think the only other player you slightly root for is Min-su. Again, Mi-nyeo and Geum-ja tied for my favorites on this show. Think third, and maybe the only one left of my favorites still standing is In-ho. Speaking of which, a youtube thumbnail gave away that he would unmask himself to Gi-hun, though that one I kind of figured was coming, just didn’t know when. Jung-jae sells Gi-hun going through the shock and horror and sadness in that part very well, just as Byung-hun continues to sell In-ho serving strong Sith Lord energy in that scene. Do get a laugh over how you present the idea that amongst the numerous thoughts of betrayal that Gi-hun is going through when In-ho unmasks, one thought he has is that John Hurt style response of “Oh, no. Not again.” Now he puts the knife in play, and you hold firm (with the asterisk of you acknowledge that you could be wrong) that Gi-hun will not give in. Love how you note that the baby in the mix does complicate the idealistic hope versus the pragmatism. Nevertheless: You still have faith in Gi-hun, and you do not believe that he will go through with the throat slitting. How nice. Again, showing how kind a soul you are, Jess. Just as your reactions to this entire show demonstrate the depths and compassion of the kind soul that you possess. Thank you for yet another great Squid Game reaction.

I can just see one of them trying to tell the baby a story: "Michael can't get a gaming license, but Senator Geary's got one weakness: call girls." These two seasons had the luck to premiere just as the crypto bubble reached its limit. I look forward to it all going downhill as fast as NFTs did, maybe even with another conference that gives everyone permanent eye damage. Given what assholes they'd all been, I just laughed my ass off imagining them all going "That's not fair! There was time now!"

Well, the one VIP surely got sick of Sweet Sue always wanting to stay in on Thursday nights to watch The Untouchables with Bob Stack. Meaning they are all on edge after Baxter followed doctor’s order and decided to be a mensch. Leads to the decision about the baby, where Byung-hun (or if not him, whover plays In-ho when the character is full regalia) perfectly sells In-ho having that Colonel Jessep line. Can’t say I’d do what Gi-hun did with saving Jeong-dae either. He did convincingly sell to 096 that he could be the danger by reminding him about the gay space witches whose deaths, he’s largely responsible for. (The VIP thing, I assume was always intended, like the “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?” scene in Gladiator, namely that line, “IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU CAME HERE TO SEE!?”) Losing an eye situations, there is that icicle death in Die Hard 2. the Benajmin Bratt of it all, he doesn’t have to worry about it much longer as Alderaan gets blown up in, oh, wait, he gets darrined by Jimmy Smits by then, never mind. In a cosmic sort of way, yes, there is some good dark humor over the players being collectively flabbergasted over Lilo now being a player. Hwang has the same writing as Filoni had with Omega when Tech outright admitted that her being a clone seemed blindingly obvious, reflecting audience sentiment. Rock, paper, scissors, Odds or Evens, coin toss, or just drawing straws would be a humorous way to envision which one of the circle guards got stuck with baby feeding duty. See you’ve reached the Elaine limit with the boat plot. Fair. I honestly like The English Patient decently enough. Certainly not top ten of the year, and certainly not best picture, especially when Fargo was nominated, (though it could have been a LOT WORSE if Jerry Maguire had won,) but then again, that Elaine scene is me with Out of Africa as that whole thing is such a dull blur. Good point on the concrete stakes with the police station scene. The whole Jun-ho plotline is just unintentionally hilarious at this point, which helps it not be TOO unbearable. The In-ho of it all with the one scene finally having a solid idea of what he was trying to do this whole time, well, it’s not the first time that Byung-hun has played a character with enigmatic motives to the point where even other characters express puzzlement as to what he’s playing at. It is where his casting is perfect as you really can’t tell where In-ho is going to land by the end of this. You end up sounding like Luthen, saying “I need the endgame!” and the show has you play the waiting game on that. Like the praise you offer the story on that one. Have seen a few comments about the potential anti-abortion message. Think some are reading too much into it, yet the idea is not that farfetched. Kill the Moon, unsubtle though it was, the ending makes that episode with Peter and Jenna perfectly selling the big dramatic scene that the Doctor and Clara had, and I love how Danny never has the “I told you so” response, just lets Clara vent, and even in essence gives the Doctor the gift of encouraging Clara to have the more peaceful and positive goodbye so as to not end it on the closed door. Yeah, I know the episode’s not popular, and I get it. Even then, that episode, and the theoretical anti-abortion messages here, better than the ones in Twilight, that’s for goddamn sure. One thing I’ll add to the facts listed is that they’re all men left standing. Like you say, left to see how the ending plays out.
