I was trying to explain my complicated feelings around the “troubled, luminous, and often naked” triumvirate that has come to define Sweeney’s performances when I introduced him to Euphoria this weekend.

The old business buddy who gets shot in the pilot (or shortly thereafter).

To indicate where the completely CGI part is going to start?

Based on the descriptions I’ve seen in some of the other reviews, it sounds like the CGI may have been done to add Fan BingBing’s face to an underwater CGI body with lackluster results, not an attempt to specifically Westernize her appearance.

Are the dots in this pic mermaid make-up or reference points for the digital weternerisationalising?

Are they normal, though? Because based on the first season, it seems like they have been profiting on other people’s misery for quite a while.

I think that’s where I’ve been with the Byrds for pretty much this whole season. At least Walt inspired strong feelings one way or the other.

If only they’d limited the first three seasons to 7 episodes each as well.

Fuck.

Euphoria is really starting to feel like stylized sex, drugs, and violence for the sake of stylized sex, drugs, and violence. It’s the antithesis to what made the COVID-19-era Rue and Jules specials work. All gimmick, no heart.

Jesus Christ, I was not prepared for how creepy this was. Especially the second entry.

I definitely think Stiles is the best fit personality-wise; she often got cast as the wise-cracking teen from what I remember. There’s enough of a superficial resemblance to sell it, too, although Stiles’ presentation feels a little too femme for Van.

Lauren Ambrose is on a different, lesser known horror show already. (Servant, although maybe that’s wrapping after the new season?) Plus, I just can’t see it personality-wise: she’s more surly-sarcastic than funny-sarcastic.

How this connects to everything is anyone’s guess as much of what is going on with Shauna seems to pre-date the plane crash.

There was also that rotisserie chicken baby dream, which I kind of forgot about until yesterday. I do think that the baby eating is likely to be a fake out, but the show is full of red herrings pointing in that direction.

I’m just going to take advantage of this article to share that Jasmin Savoy and Liv Hewson co-host a Netflix podcast called “The Gay Agenda.” So if you want more time with Taissa and Van, your wish is granted.

Of course! When you rearrange the letters in dirtside, you get...

There are at least two other people in the comments who do.

Disagree. I hate country and I’m so-so on rap/hip hop--it’s like someone pulled that song directly from my nightmares.
