Only Murders In The Building - Blog Posts

To be sappy for a minute, I really love how platonic relationships are so centred and respected in Only Murders in the Building. Romantic relationships either fizzle out or are explicitly giving second billing after the main trio's friendship.

The heart of season four was how much Sazz, a lesbian, loved Charles, an old straight guy she worked with for years, and how devastated he was by her death because he loved her too and never felt like he did as much for her as she did for him.

Charles haltingly told Oliver he thought they'd grow old(er) and die together, and Oliver marrying Loretta was something he felt ambivalent about because he was happy for him but he didn't want to lose him.

And back in season three, Mabel was devastated when Charles and Oliver didn't have time for her. She's much younger than them and, nominally, could have an easier time moving on and moving into different social circles, but she loves them and wants them to value spending time with her as much as she does.

Like… the love of your life can be your friends, and that's not sad or pathetic or a bad consolation prize for not managing to do it the "right" way. Friendships can be the most important relationships in your life even after you do things the "right" way. And that's not only okay, it's beautiful.

This season of Only Murders in the Building has got to be the saddest one, and I realize now that not only is that because it revolves around the death of someone we as the audience know and love, but because it's the first time an honestly kind and warm character died.

She wasn't cold like Tim Kono, hateful like Bunny, or self-centered like Ben Glenroy. Sazz was nice and cool and a friend who genuinely cares about the trio. She also supported Charles in his endeavors, and she had dreams of helping other kids realize their dreams too by building that trampoline park.

This season hurts, bro. I nearly cried a couple of times. Like, it's a whole season of exploring what it's like to lose an innocent person to murder.

i literally cannot get enough of him.

theres so little content of him I found my own post on GOOGLE💔💔 ( I am his #1 fan )

holy freak Teddy........ also idk if its my headphones but the sound is a bit bad for me idk MBBBBB

small rant but I honestly love that aspect to him. we don't see TOO much of this side of him but I feel like he would be the guy that looks super tough but laughs at balls jokes 💔💔 also holy crap he wants Oliver so bad trust me you guys.... But I like to think that between the time after "Splash" flopped and before he met Charles and Mabel, Oliver and Teddy had a small thing going on (or maybe even a little bit during "Splash"). but I'm guessing it either didn't work out orrrrrr uhhhhhhhh idk but there's definitely some tension and I LIKE IT.

TEDDY'S COMING BACK FOR THE FIFTH SEASON I SWEAR YOU GUYS!!!!! (sigh I know he's probably not but a boy can dream)

this is unrelated but uhm I think the song "Elevator Man" by Oingo Boingo kinda fits Teddy idk might just be me and I might do another rant about THAT too

i need to see Oliver in a turtleneck again in the 5th season!!!! I'm so happy they started recording (even if Teddy/Nathan Lane more than probably won't be in it)

i love Oliver sm he's so silly and sweet i kinda wanna slap him in like a loving way though (Zach and Ben feel the same ig)

HAPPY NATIONAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE WEEK
