Last time on Farla avoided things, Farla didn’t read the final book of the horrible trilogy she has learned to hate so, so much! So today, we’re finally settling in for the end stretch.
So to recap, there were explosions and Katniss woke up on a flight to District 13. Also, 12 got blown up, but that place kind of sucked, so I don’t see the problem.
Last time on Mockingjay, Katniss wandered around the ashes of her former home, thought clearly how she can’t think clearly, and explained she was refusing to help the rebellion but still willing to use her potential help as a bargaining piece to make them take her on dumb, resource-wasting outings. Peeta is still captured. Would that he’ll stay captured for the rest of the book. Oh, and Snow left her a rose.
Last time on Mockingjay, Peeta isn’t dead and will probably end up featuring heavily in this story ::::(
Last time on the Hunger Games, Katniss demands the moon before she’s willing to help others and my least favorite characters showed up.
Last time on Mockingjay, Katniss rescues the most annoying characters so they’ll be there to annoy me in the rest of the book, throws away half of the animals she hunts to rot after saying no one in 12 is wasteful, 13 thinks tributes are collaborators and her request for the moon turns out to come with the condition she only gets it if she doesn’t fuck up the whole mockingjay thing.
Last time on Mockingjay, oh god we’re doing that thing again where Katniss shows off her sue flaw of not being able to be fake. Also, Haymitch is back. I like Haymitch less with each appearance, so I’m pretty wary.
Last time on Mockingjay, a bunch of people got together to tell Katniss about what their favorite awesome moments of her being awesome were, because she’s so awesome. Then they decided to send her into the field with a film crew so she could be awesome while they recorded it.
Last time on Mockingjay, Katniss was Jesus, the protagonist of a B action flick, then the sort of asshole who prefers to look at a burning hospital and say that they’re probably all dead so it’s more important to swear vengeance than to concern herself with saving anyone. I’m pretty sure these things are only all compatible with the help of some of the especially apocryphal books.
Last time on Mockingjay, everyone agreed Katniss is really awesome and they all lied to cover up how she ran off and did her own thing. Then Haymitch threatened her with involuntary surgery and Peeta gave another interview.
So.
I’ve been writing summations/rewrites between each section break.
But where do I go with this?
Last time on Mockingjay, Peeta says they’ll be dead by morning. Peeta, don’t make promises you can’t keep.
Last time on Mockingjay, Prim is the antichrist.
Last time on Mockingjay, Katniss has lost it, so they risk the lives of many people to try to save Millstone.
Last time on Mockingjay, did we really need sex slave Finnick? No. No we did not. Also, Peeta tries to kill Katniss.
Last time on Mockingjay, Peeta now hates Katniss so he’s a nonperson. Katniss throws another tantrum and insists she can’t possibly stay in the same zip code as him, so she demands to be taken elsewhere. Elsewhere turns out to be 2.
