I’m liking it, this show knows it’s a summer show and leans into the silliness.

Yes, I did understand that from your post lol :P It’s in the reviews themselves here where I feel like Gwen’s knowledge of the book and trying not to spoil it means she just doesn’t discuss some of the more interesting scenes. But I could be wrong.

“at 7+ months off the injury and able to do his yoga group, it’s really weird that it locks up so badly.”

Don’t get me wrong, I love Liane Moriarty’s rich white Aussie’s dealing with issues of the day books as much as I love Elin Hildebrandt rich white Nantucketers dealing with the issues of the day books. But the series of BLL was so, so, soooo far above the quality level of the book of BLL and BLL was a much better…

It’s time for Savage Nobody! The advice column that is the sexual equivalent of a game over!

That was my initial read on Tanya, but during her speech to Belinda, I said to my spouse: “she’s trying to break patterns while repeating them, and choosing the pattern that doesn’t benefit Belinda.” Her jumping into a relationship with Greg isn’t really healthy either. She’s not breaking patterns, she’s only under…

Ugh, at this point, I pretty much assume that almost all male artists pre-1990's (overly generous) actively engaged in predatory pedophilia.

I mean, I love Bob Dylan’s music and this news sucks but if you watch Don’t Look Back, the guy can be an asshole. Sadly, I could see how he could possibly rope girls in with being “deep” and a “poet” and then be emotionally abusive or worse. The Ryan Adams situation really popped into my head when I heard this news. 

Waiting to see if his defense is, “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, while she may have been twelve at the time, we seek to prove that she ached just like a woman, yes she did, she took just like a woman, yes she did, and she made love just like a woman, but she-actually, I’d like to withdraw my statement.”

I love it. The whole point is that McEnroe shares a personality type with Devi, so he gets her. Personality is deeper than age, gender, culture, etc.

she and Olivia could have probably convinced them not to press charges.

I didn’t get the sense she liked the money itself as much as the social pressure to be with a “great guy” and self-esteem/self-identity issues (she mentions she basically fell into the marriage after a break up which in the 21st century suggests she’s a passive person or someone who feels uncomfortable being alone).…

Rachel’s final scene at the airport felt exactly like one of those bleak horror movie twist endings where our hero has finally defeated the serial killer... but then the last minute reveals that he survived somehow, he stabs her, and then the credits roll.

Rachel thought Belinda would be her Magical Negro, and Belinda “noped” the Hell out.

An odd thing that made this episode hit me really hard emotionally was the use of silence and empty spaces. The way that Christmas days are almost always eerily quiet, with the streets largely deserted, is so integral to my memories of Christmas — especially the sad ones or years when I was alone. When you’re outside…

Man, you and I must be watching different shows.

I see a lot of opinions online about who is the only character you can root for, but I think Mike White did great by giving each character a level of humanity with the bitter, satirical moments. A lot of things I watch I want to scream “JUST TALK IT OUT!!!” but The White Lotus has characters flawed enough that I can…

But Shakey’s and Bennigan’s at least were everywhere (well, in the US) in the 1980s — they were major chains with hundreds of locations that just had bad luck in the 1990s-2000s. They both still technically exist, but are down to a few dozen locations each. So maybe it’s an age thing?
