The White Lotus (HBO) TV Show • Page 34

I just watched the premier. Very good.

 

fun season premier

 

Was thinking the same exact thing while watching

 

That line about the poison seeds from that one fruit was definitely a Chekhov's Gun.

Also the whole thing where all the men in the family went to Duke, and all the women in the family went to UNC, now the younger brother is struggling to choose which one to go to with weird pressure from the dad to pick Duke is 100% a deeper metaphor about sexuality and gender.

 

Things did feel a bit explicitly spelled out in this first episode. Hopefully it’s just to set the scene.

 

Maybe...but I think it's gonna be the older brother clearly struggling with his sexuality, whereas the little brother just seems young and shy

 

eh i think the duke inclusion isn’t an accident and it’s something more nefarious with him

 

Dude did you not catch the part where the younger one is staring way too long at his brother's ass?

 

Oh I saw it, but the way the older brother acts gives me very "repressed homosexual" vibes lol. Little Bro could be gay too, but idk...seems too easy

 

There’s a weird incestuous vibe from all three siblings

 

I didn't really feel it coming from the sister at all.

 

eh i did. she was really persistent about the younger brother sleeping in her room with her

 

I’d wonder if the dad was ever abusive towards them.

 

Good psychoanalysis, pop

 

forcing your children to go to your alma mater is I guess selfish more than necessarily emotionally abusive, but also sometimes emotionally abusive to tell your bright 17 year old son he has no choice which school he goes to

 

I was getting a more of a protective vibe from the sister doing that an incestous one.

 

Bro should just say fuck it and go to Appalachian State lol
