You watch the Pitt because you like Noah Wyle from ER. I watch the Pitt because I like Noah Wyle as the weird ass lawyer in the reboot of an early 2000s tv show about criminals who con billionaires. We are not the same.
let's do crime with mama
my hobby is imagining various angles on marginal characters figuring out what the deal is with chrisjen and bobbie:
(1) ashanti avasarala: she hears ‘bobby’ and thinks of someone who looks like stanley tucci. it’s cute, her mom has a crush on someone who… she doesn’t really know because she wasn’t really listening, calls to her mother are time to catch up on housework—maybe he’s martian military? risqué! anyway it sounds like he’s sweet to her and also doesn’t take her crap, so that’s nice to know about. glad she has a nice little thing going on there. ‘oh, he’s going to come work for you? that’s lovely for you mom, talk to you tuesday.’ maybe at some point she notices she’s got the pronouns wrong which is interesting (good for you, mom!) but she’s still picturing basically stanley tucci. and then she finds this fuckin. amazon queen ten years her junior in her mom’s living room who just extends a hand and says ‘bobbie draper, ma’am’ and she thinks she needs to go home and call her therapist
(2) talissa kamal: so it turns out this marine isn’t an alex apologist, she’s a pretty good listener actually and a nice person, easy to get on with, good for an occasional-drink kind of friendship. talissa hears ‘christian’ and thinks ‘square-jawed white boy’ and it’s a little sad that magnificent bobbie won’t shut up about some earther bro who probably can’t appreciate her, so she just kind of tunes most of it out, she doesn’t want to project her own shit onto this guy who’s probably perfectly all right and you know, bobbie’s had a rough time, some pancake of a man might be a nice respite for her, who’s talissa to judge, and then one day melas grabs her and goes ‘mom look! bobbie’s on tv!’ and. sweet merciful mother of jesus there she is. standing next to the fucking secretary-general of the united nations. and talissa just. faints
(3) as always, the low-level functionaries of avasarala’s office. just sittin there with their spreadsheets goin man, she sure does send some… private communiqués to… the martian fleet. haha weird! also uh, that’s a lot of… like a lot of money… being sent through… private accounts…. to… mars?? *sweating* is the secretary-general a traitor? has she been a martian operative all along??? or is she playing the martians too???? is she some kind of deep-state superleader who’s going to sell them all out to an alien species????? and then bobbie rocks up on the moon and they all take one look at her and simultaneously go ‘oh thank god, it’s a sex thing!’

Kate: There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Doctor way.
Osgood: Isn’t that just the wrong way?
Kate: Yes, but it’s much faster.
