The Killing

lh


I really didn't think any moment could top the season opener and last season's Missing (especially Holder's phone call, really?) in terms of ripping out my heart, but I was completely losing my shit when watching this episode because I just knew something bad was going to happen to Holder. The second he lost signal I was shaking in my proverbial boots for his safety. And then Linden! And Jack! And I just! *hands*

holder

Pardon me while I collapse in a fit of hysterics. I honestly cannot remember the last time I was this attached to fictional characters. This is completely ridiculous is what it is.

And the two of them fighting? Ugh. How can they not understand how much they need each other? Stop hurting each other my precious, precious babies.

I don't even want to talk about the preview for next week. My heart sank to my knees. This is going to be a terrible week. I have this completely irrational thought that Holder turning up dead could be the thing that sends Sarah over the edge and so it's a distinct possibility that it just might happen, but... there is not a chance in hell that they would kill him.

Right?

RIGHT?!?!?

Somebody please reassure me.

I'm of the firm mind he cannot be killed because not only is he one of the leading characters, but he's a favourite - which means a lot of people would quit watching the show if he was killed off. Also, he's been billed for 26 episodes. Two whole seasons. He's not dead, or dying.

See I KNOW that you are right (you have to be right!) but it is seriously killing me thinking about him in those woods. BY HIMSELF. Like I am going to get in my car and drive to Seattle and find him because he cannot just LAY THERE BLEEDING. HE CAN'T! Etc. Clearly I'm having a reality versus fiction issue. Haha.

But yay! 26 episodes. Hahahaha. You make me feel so much better with logic.

Oh, you're not alone. I feel the same way. :( It's rare I feel that kind of raw emotion for a character in a show, but he's just so hard to not feel all the feels about. Sigh. Poor baby.

xD You're very welcome! It's how I reassure myself when one of my favourites in a show gets hurt, or kidnapped, or something. "ARE THERE MORE EPISODES?! ARE THEY IN THEM? Good, there's more of them. They don't die. Or, if they do they haunt the shit out of people, and I accept this." Haha.

Yeah I kind of just want to read meta about his character and "WHY ALL THE FEELS" from now until the end of time, but there really isn't any since this fandom is pretty dead. SADFACE.

I actually saw some *whisper whisper* that made me totally breathe a sigh of relief.

First of all, I would like you to know when I saw that pic right before I went to bed last night my resolve to wait until the next day almost shattered right then and there because OMG, ARM TATTOOS! APRON! THEIR FREAKING BEAUTIFUL FACES! Hearts forever.

Secondly, HOLDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO US? AND LINDEN! AND JACK! I thought I was going to start hyperventilating at the end there. I mean, there's no way he's dead, but I wouldn't put it past that lady to leave Holder's bloody clothes there as a message for Linden while she keeps Holder locked away in her creepy casino of doom. Which will probably leave Linden to do her best, I WILL BURN UTICA TO THE GROUND face as she storms the castle to get him back. (I WANT TO GO TO THERE.)

But still, watching them hurt him like that and knowing Linden was listening was just like A KNIFE TO MY HEART. Especially since they had been arguing. ;____;

And, okay, so were those children's services people legit or were they undercover kidnappers? Because if they were legit and Jack and Linden ran...brb, crying forever because this will not end well. Jack's little plea to go to the bathroom and that look he shared with Sarah...again, KNIFE TO MY HEART. I'm not sure how I survived watching this episode.

Just think it started with Monopoly and Holder promising Linden they were safe at his place and there were burritos...I'm not being coherent, but I want to go live in that first scene forever and never leave it. Which, I think Holder concurs with that sentiment because he didn't want them to leave! He's worried about them! It breaks me how hard it is for Sarah to trust people or to let them care about her. Her first instinct is to lash out and just...I want to hug her and tell her to trust him because he's equally damaged and he adores her and her kid and WHEN THIS CASE IS OVER THEY SHOULD MOVE SOMEWHERE SUNNY AND THEN SOLVE CASES TOGETHER WHILE SNARKING AND MAKING OUT INTERSPERSED WITH BREAKS FOR MONOPOLY PLAYING WITH JACK! Y/Y?

UGH. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO UNTIL SUNDAY?

(I'm going to read your fic now!)

Arm tattoos! APRON. (Original Grilla? LMAO WHAT? HOLDER? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?)

Look you should have heard me in my house last night. It was a good thing I was alone because I was freaking the fuck out, haha. People would have thought I was crazy. As soon as he starting going up the elevator I was like "no! don't go UP go DOWN AND OUT." It was truly like a horror movie moment.

Dude, if she does that. ACK. There is no way though. But the promo! I just! WHAT?!? I want a hug, and maybe some tears, and definitely a bedside vigil and DEFINITELY her and Jack staying at his house. (Until Jack gets taken, which is no inevitable.)

I am pretty sure those people were legit. I mean, it just seems like it would be a super involved side-storyline if they were kidnappers. I am SO MAD at Helo right now! You don't even know! Jack kind of broke my heart. I can understand him being upset at the end but at her? Why? Everything is falling apart!

Their fight totally broke my heart. Like, her just taking really low shots at him because she so totally can't handle the fact that she's kind of sucking at a mom and that Holder gives Jack something that she can't for whatever reason. And him caring about her, she kind of resents it but she needs it. *sigh* themmmmmmmmm.

I think I need to re-watch. Just because I like to torture myself with angst and stuff.

"WHEN THIS CASE IS OVER THEY SHOULD MOVE SOMEWHERE SUNNY AND THEN SOLVE CASES TOGETHER WHILE SNARKING AND MAKING OUT INTERSPERSED WITH BREAKS FOR MONOPOLY PLAYING WITH JACK! Y/Y? "


omg. This killed me. BAHA.


Stumbled on this page via THE STRĂ…LE DOME. Let's just say I've been googling Mr. Kinnaman a lot the past few days.

I'm so glad there are other fans other there. I thought I was alone <3

Good to know you're out there as well! This show really does need more fans! Friendlies?

Sure :D I don't LJ much these days anymore but you definitely inspired me to sign on :) Will be checking often!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-12 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Added you. :)

DO NOT USE THE WORDS 'HOLDER' AND 'DEAD' IN THE SAME SENTENCE.

Nghhhh, LINDEN WHY CAN'T YOU STAY SAFELY @ HOLDER'S HOUSE WITH JACK FOREVERRRR. PLEASEEEE. Yea that scene was amazing. And that picture makes me melt MELT.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I know! It's all too real! He is not allowed to die. (Can I say he is too pretty to die? Haha.)


I was thinking the same thing. Aren't they just too perfect? I can't even. I was so overcome with emotion that I had to write post-episode fic (http://crickets.livejournal.com/506595.html) to fix it.

[identity profile] far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't do anything. But Linden is still not amused.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. She's not amused with my apathy.

I thought YOU were not amused, lol.

[identity profile] far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
lol-no, not at you. I just love her reaction in that gif... or her non-reaction to Holder.

<3 them both forever. I just found a Killing tumblr so I thought I'd post you some gifs b/c I think you're my only f-lister who watches The Killing.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
There needs to be more of it. ETA: On tumblr I mean.

As you can see I know a couple of people who watch it. (YAY! We exist!) I should advertise a friending meme for that show but where do you do such a thing?


ETA2: She is just like "whatever." haha It's ADORABLE. He's adorable. *smishes their faces together*

He was soooo shot down. Adorbs. Mireille killed it. I don't know how she kept a straight face. Outtakes pls?

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-11 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
There were a handful of outtakes on the DVD set for S1. I'm crossing my fingers for S2 outtakes as well.

HE CAN'T DIE NOOOOOOOO

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-11 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
The TV laws which dictate that lead characters are usually safe no matter how dangerous their predicament may seem tell me he's living. But just the thought of him being all beat up and left for dead. *SNIFFLE* I have too many emotions about it. I ended up having to write fix-it fic (http://crickets.livejournal.com/506595.html). Just to make myself feel better.
