No. She’s been in the limelight long enough she knows how to handle speaking in public. She used the opportunity to boost her own standing at the expense of two innocent bystanders; one of whom was in the audience. 

I think that’s how everyone is chalking it up. No one is suggesting that she be canceled, just the the remark was off. She apologized and that’s it. It’s only the folks who want to keep the untrue cancel culture bogeyman alive that are stoking this. And I guess the people who think you should never apologize for…

I’m all for forgiving people after they apologize but why did she need to bring up the Williams sisters in the first place? They weren’t nominated in her category. Why did she need to position it as they don’t have to compete against men like she does? She couldn’t direct her comment to the people who keep nominating…

“Beyond that, if Campion believes Elliott hit a trifecta of phobia, then I think she is admitting that she built a movie out of her philia for those non traditional elements of life”

“She seems to believe her western truth is better than our traditional western truth, even if it is all a myth.”

Yeah, when Brokeback Mountain came out, just as with now and Elliott, the same xenophobic, homophobic, comments were made, how can X know about Y bull-farble.

They’re all actors and directors, and sadly, being ‘part’ of a culture makes you no more or less likely to make a good movie, but claiming someone does, or…

It actually was a bit of a cultural thing for middle-to-upper class Sacramentoans from that era to plant a weird flag of ownership on pioneer history, like “obviously I come from the people who succeeded at that, so I’m the proper keeper of memory here.” See, Joan Didion’s attachment to the Donner Party

Here are some inconsistencies between pilot and show proper:

One theme in this series is unrequited love.

People have had VERY elaborate conspiracy theories about this show from the start...and it seems like none of them have come true. From “Adam is Javi” to “there will be another Yellowjacket at the reunion” the show has instead been very straightforward. I would perhaps compare it to “The Invitation” by Karyn…

Disagree strongly with all your takes on Jackie, she is a just teenage girl (literally no one is “the villain” in this) but also very entitled one who never adapted to the reality that they were in. And all of her attempts to reinforce high school (and its social hierarchy, where she didn’t have to do anything special…

You lost me at “this TV series is all about losing empathy.”

*Thank you*. It’s driving me NUTS how people keep defending his terrible behavior to both Natalie and Javi. As if being male in the 90s is carte blanche for acting like a jerk off.

Yes, Travis is the worst. He’s been through a lot, like they all have, but his cruelty towards Nat is just awful. And Nat just keeps taking it, because she’s so sensitive to his pain, and she loves him, but JFC, she’s had the patience of a saint with the way he lashes out at her again and again.

It just struck me how pathetic and out-of-touch she truly is when she commands Shauna to leave the cabin. She obviously doesn’t know that it’s going to snow, but she may have literally been sending her erstwhile friend out to die. Her own expectations are so out of whack about their situation that she apparently…

This is just one of MANY, MANY inconsistencies/plot holes in this show. It’s really messy.

Can we take a moment to talk about just how FUNNY this episode was, along with all mystery and trauma? Seriously there were lines in there that topped “Wait, Book Club isn’t real?” in their delivery. Like Misty saying “Who died?” when she comes in to clean up the dead body. Shauna saying “It’s just like riding a…

I’d normally agree with you 100%, but Travis has been a jerk to Natalie for awhile.

You have changed your argument, and I understand why: your argument was wrong. You were not saying she was being a dick and it’s understandable, you were saying she wasn’t being a dick at all. Changing your argument is an admission it was wrong, so thanks for that.

She told him so he would break up with Nat so she could fuck him, and that’s what she did. In order to pull that off she made it sound like a normal not-that-big-a-deal thing. The question is if Jackie’s heel turn results in them all deciding to kill her (instead of because she, as in the most recent episode, is a…
