I’m just marvelling at Pink’s eyesight. How could she read that tiny text from the stage?

There’s no theirs there.

I was wondering whether Camilla Nygaard talking about strengthening her core wasn’t a bit anachronistic.

Trailers are often cut before the actual show/movie is. So which shots make it into final edit hasn’t yet been decided. This is why trailers sometimes use different lines than the finished product.

Look, I haven’t read the recap yet, but I can’t get past this blood weighs “about 4.6 pounds per liter” thing. Good heavens... I don’t know what Internet you were using to answer this question but, that is about double what it actually weighs here on Earth. OK, going back to read the rest now.

I still give top villain spot to Shane. Even if he hasn’t done anything actually villainous, he’s still the #1 asshole, and that’s good enough for me.

Here’s a guess at the box mystery: Rachel isn’t there at the airport because she’s in jail for murdering Shane’s mother who had decided to return to the White Lotus one more time.

And not only is the hotel staff consumed by physical exhaustion, but (as we see in Armond and Belinda especially) the emotional labour of constantly having to suppress their real feelings in deference to the paying customers whose feelings are the only ones with value here. That shit is truly exhausting.

The best Nicole moment in this episode was her having been driven back the their room, crying on the bed, and simultaneously folding a shirt, because she just can’t help herself. Brilliant.

I’m willing to cut Paula a tiny bit of slack because she’s, what, twenty? Her lack of maturity leads her to think in black and white terms, turning the Mossbachers into human monsters and trying to right the injustices of the world through Kai, un-self-aware enough to realize that she’s only setting up the robbery in…

Have you ever met a teenage boy? They all act “autistic”, if by that you mean awkward, sullen, and withdrawn.

I here to represent the viewers who know nothing about Marvel stuff. I have no idea about these characters’ backstories, nor do I particularly care (nothing against those who do care, mind you). I have however watched a lot of early sixties sitcoms in my time, and so I’m very much here for this show in all its surreal…

Message to Bill:

I mean, it doesn’t take much imagination...

I was on a jury that ultimately couldn’t reach a unanimous decision (I was a holdout). Two things of note: 1) The (probably quite expensive) defence lawyers had nearly zero effect in their closing arguments in convincing the jurors who voted to acquit (it was simply lack of clear evidence). 2) No one offered to bribe…

Have you smelled ammonia? “Nice” is not a word I would use.

Tammy Duckworth, or an actual duck. Either would make a better VP than Pence, and a much better P than Trump.

Well! Today I learned that those poor souls in Jonestown didn’t even get genuine Kool-Aid. I don’t think that adds anything to the horror, but still...

Nah, Aum Shinrikyo wasn’t even accidentally suicidal, just murderous. I was talking about the people who are willingly behaving like self-destructive dipshits because that’s what Trump wants them to do.

Of course it’s easier if somebody else drinks the Kool-Aid.
