129: peak investigative journalism. and there is just something about how they're dissecting thornhill like this. idk i'm gonna ponder

spoiler via illustration in internet archive version—HAHAHAH INCREDIBLE. also there's smth strangely endearing about all the legal people lunching or whatever at lovett's pie shop and this is some.. returning of favor?

just learned that the expanded book version (which i am reading) changes the original serial ending :') i like this expanded book version better.

127: there had to have been a better way to dispose of bodies

125: my baby my babyyy :'((( at least for once in her life she is autonomous.

124: the irony of little to no surveillance in the prison while all she's been doing outside has been performing? and the weaponization of femininity the poison in the dress wow incredible

123: SHE ESCAPES??? what is with all these mixed up chapter titles. of course the animals in their enclosure are just like people in a(n) asylum/prison

122: THE TOWER WITH BIG BEN WOO THAT PHRASING! why is it ethical to be greedy about animals but not humans? the contrast between ben's merry feast and the sinister pie customers is so interesting

the concept of by the sea... oh slovett would HATE IT.

rereading the synopsis of the sweeney todd musical (which i did see on broadway 2 years ago but hardly remember) with my mouth open WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE???
