Also I think the only characters that might die this season are Elliott or Ali. I feel pretty good with my guess that one of them will OD which will completely destroy Rue. Elliott seems more likely but Ali would be more tragic
Agreed. I know they play with reality a lot in the show but that was just tonally a mess. It was like the Naked Gun intro
Yeah that police chase didn't fit at all. The little dogs did make me laugh though lol. Definitely one of the best episodes of the series
This show is so frustrating. Most of the choices and the writing loses me and then they do something like last night’s episode. I think over all Sam Levinson is not really for me, but when he nails it, he nails it
Yea last nights episode was possibly the show’s best but I’m not hopeful for them sticking the landing this season at all if next week’s sneak preview is anything to go by
I feel the same, most of this season has been a touch too ridiculous for me but this episode was just gut wrenching television. I feel uncomfortable and guilty watching Rue unravel like that Zendaya is incredible
Yeah I agree. Last night’s episode and the quarantine episodes were great. I really like the cast and a lot of the visual choices are fantastic (thinking specifically of keeping the morphine in focus while Laurie and Rue talk in the background) but there are way too many loose threads. There are entire unresolved plot points I completely forgot about because they’ve disappeared
Wow, amazing performance. She needs an Emmy. But I need to watch Spongebob or read One Piece before bed now. I’ve never felt more anxious watching TV.
What an episode. Glad this show is weekly. Would be overwhelming if I had to binge it to keep up with the discourse.
Y'all know that awful feeling of having to own up to the mistakes you made? That awful pit in your stomach where you don't know if you'll be forigven, or if you'll just make things worse? That's how I felt this entire episode, and I fucking loved it. Also: Jacob is a much better actor than I realized, and I wish they utilized his skills better this season.
Holy shit it's been a long time since I enjoyed hating a villain as much as Nate lmao. That gun scene was fucking insane It almost seems like Levinson is intentionally making Kat extremely unlikable as some sort of revenge against her actress after their falling out though, I know it was kind of the point but I absolutely could not stand her in that breakup scene and that's basically her only big scene this season besides the self worth scene
lots of chatter about this show being unrealistic overall, but i think they hit a new level of ridiculous by showing that one of the high schoolers has a laptop with a disc drive in 2022
Kat is the most pointless character this season. All the threads from last season just dropped completely
Also, I need the soundbyte of Lexi yelling "Alright people, it's fucking showtime, let's go!" injected into my veins. I'm so excited for the next episode.
There are rumors that Barbie Ferreira did not like the direction Kat was going into this season, it was supposedly very dark, and she got into it with Sam Levinson. And a result he pretty much cut most of Kat's story. This hasn't been confirmed but I've seen it it brought up more than once.
Between this and Sweeney having to advocate for less nude scenes, not getting a great impression of working with Levinson
This, I'm pretty sure it's because they wanted to make her weight & relationship with food a focal point of her arc, and Barbie thought that having that be the story of the only non-skinny woman on the show was exploitative.
Also could not believe Minka Kelly’s character just chilling in a pool at night giving a high schooler alcohol
