2025 REWATCH

• This is not a terrible story, it’s just weak, I’m sure that might mean the same to people lol.
• I find the concept of the story very interesting, I still think it should be a UNIT interviewing/interrogating Elton. But it transcends to modern social media culture now, so I guess it makes sense.
• However, I felt less inclined to watch; I had less time for it on the current rewatch, if that makes sense. I’d defend it’s weirdness and uniqueness in the past, but I think its novelty is slowly running thin on me.
• That’s not to say there isn’t genuinely some beautiful moments, the whole Jackie section, is marvellous, and the flashbacks of Elton’s Mum is heartbreaking. The realism of the LINDA and the characterisation of the group is so sweet.
• It’s the ending I raise an eyebrow at, the audacity to have the line about a love life is forever going to be questionable
