I can’t believe Momma never got to see “Wicked” or S3 of “The White Lotus.”
I wish she could have seen Wicked (Broadway’s Version). Ariana is hard to watch.
I still can’t believe I saw it at the Gershwin.
I took my cousin to Taylor Swift and she took me to Broadway.
Our mothers, who grew up in podunk Pittsburgh and didn’t have our sense of adventure, would have been so proud.
As for White Lotus, someone always dies in the show. I’ve seen enough that I am trying to guess who it will be.
The death is always random and campy. Mike White always kills off someone I love. And also someone who isn’t going to be mourned because they have no attachments. Like, all the rich people get on the plane at the end of the week and don’t look back.
I love Rick because it’s Walton Goggins. And Chelsea because she’s the smartest ditz ever. But she would be missed.
Mom would know the answer. We’d be five minutes into the season and she’d call it.
And not just WL — any show or movie, she’d blurt out the ending within five minutes.
She always apologized. But I appreciated it. I could pay more attention to details rather than trying to figure out what’s a red herring vs. what’s going to be integral to the conclusion.
I got to thinking about how no one mourns the wicked and no one misses the nice people who die at the WL.
Which is why I thought of Mom.
Beyond my own network, no one really knows she’s gone. Or knew she existed. Or cared, I guess, thinking of her doctors.
Mike White didn’t kill her off, but they sure did.
It really is the most sympathetic character who meets the worst fate.
I am left to assume that anyone who hasn’t passed is a terrible human in their own way or, if they vote maga, in every way.
Heck, that even reminds me that I don’t even want the maga character to die. She’s actually pretty funny. Just needs to divorce her republican husband, as so many do.
OTOH the whole S3 is about things happening in threes. I doubt it’s the three blondes or the three Ratliffe kids or Valentin and his two goon friends. Hmm.
I miss sussing this out on Twitter. But fuck Elon. Speaking of someone who wouldn’t be missed.
