Right- and they absolutely do not want to feel old, which is going to manifest into one or more of them to boinking Schwazaneger or Lochy.

(And Parker Posey giggling about it the next morning over breakfast.)
Makes sense. I guess it's also in direct contrast when they found themselves in a group of kids having a water gun fight and hating that too. Can't find joy in either extreme.

The HBO companion podcast likened Jaclyn's repulsion at aging during her visit to the retiree resort as her version of the tsunami dreams, Tim's legal issues, and other things coming for you that can't be stopped. It's all part of the characters having their moments of realization.


Yes, this entire season seems like a meta deep dive into each characters identity culminating into a major turning point in their life. I guess all three seasons are somewhat like.

Ok-Jennifer Coolidge is the queen of this show.

Connie Britton was running right behind.

But good lord-Parker Posey is about to steal a crown here.

Walton Goggins is everyone watching this show

2700 one liners this episode that no one knows what to do with.

I can't believe he had the balls (no pun) to go there. The reactions are going to be crazy.

This is easily the most complicated episode of the entire series. I do t even know where to begin unpacking it all, other than the obvious.

And I didn't even realize that was Sam Rockwell until,the closing credits. He's married to Leslie Nibb, so it makes sense.

Go where?

He went EVERYWHERE with this one.

Diabolical Mike White, man.

I haven't laughed so hard at any sitcom I've seen in awhile.

And this is a fkn drama.

Yeah, I thought Frank was getting ready to say he was undergoing gender reassignment.

Another episode where not much happened.

edit - plenty happened, but nothing really moved the plot forward significantly IMO.

That might have been the worst White Lotus episode yet across all seasons

Nothing but shock value bull**** in this episode, with no plot advancement

They've got 2 episodes left. This season is officially a dud.

Here's the thing- we did know there was an actor coming through that wasn't announced.

First it was Greg/Gary.

Did not have Sam Rockwell doing an 8ish minute soliloquy on ladyboys on my bingo card.

It was thought upthread it was gonna be Sritala's husband.

I'M NOT SURE THEYRE DONE YET.

The more I think about it, love it or hate it, that was maybe the most daring single episode of TV I've ever seen.
You had a near suicide, brothers kissing, a crazy long story about a man thinking he's an Asian woman with graphic details, a friend completely screwing over another friend and letting her true colors show (even though she did earlier on the dance floor with the Russian girls watching), interlaced with crazy good comedy "Bill Clinton wrote a book", tension the entire way through, and through all of that, it only raised the drama for the next episode when all this has to be dealt with.
Like I said, many are going to have visceral reactions, I'm not even fully sure how I feel, it's gonna take a while to decompress. But man did he go for it tonight. Gotta respect MW's game.

Ah, you're right. That's how much this season has dragged for me

What's the significance of Sam Rockwell besides reciting disgusting lines over and over?

3, but your point stands.

You forgot "how many books did Hillary Clinton write, like 5?",

And Carrie Coon showing her tits.

And probably like 27 other things.

That was, just something.

I will say Parker Posey's character has grown on me, and she's one of the more normal ones as the season progresses (perhaps that's the point, with her pills being gone and all).

I enjoyed it.

my favorite line of the night (and there were a lot of them) was when she she asked her daughter "why did you drag us to Taiwan?" (When they are 2000 miles away in Thailand)

Now, I'm not going to say that makes her the least sane character here, but she doesn't even know where the fk she is.

She's the star of the show for sure though.

I thought it was a great episode.

We've now created conflict points for every group of characters.

We knew the brothers or at least the family situation was going to lead to something incestual.

The old bags are now completely ****ed for the rest of their stay with infighting. It can go 20 different directions.

Tim KILLED HIMSELF but didn't.

The 2 *****s are severely compromised with saxson and lachlan

I've got half a mind to wonder if Goggins' favor for Sam's character will be to play the male escort in order to get closer to a hit or use it to squeeze his mark.

Some of y'all didn't like that episode?

That Sam Rockwell scene seems like it was tailor-made for Matthew McConaughey.

If you're doing an 8ep miniseries, it was really the perfect tilt point.

Slow builds before (which were entertaining), expected plot lines in some ways (though you didn't know how they'd manifest), and still surprises.

Episode 5 is your tilt point on 8, and that rocked it.

If you've watched 2 seasons of this show already, and didn't watch episode 5 and say "yep, we're going somewhere" idk what to tell that person.

I watch this type of show with subtitles on. During the eery music moments, the subtitles say "vocalists vocalizing",which is funny to me for some reason. Also not sure what I would imagine the sound was if I had actually become deaf.

I have enjoyed every season as a truly independent story and this episode was the straw for this season to date.

This episode should have come with seizure warnings. The party scenes drew out too long.

The Sam Rockwell monologue may help Rick rethink confronting/killing Srilata's husband (hopefully revealed next episode) when he realizes it will not fill the hole left by his dad's death.

Sam Rockwell coming out of nowhere to deliver the most bat**** monologue maybe in tv history

Whatcha want?

Answers in 45 mins? There are PLENTY of old people CSI/NCIS procedurals on CBS for you.

Knowing what may, or may not turn out to be red herrings, on what you KNOW is going to take 8 episodes? Go back to 45 minute CBS procedurals.

No ridiculous filth? Go back to CBS procedurals.

No surprise visits from stars the caliber of Sam Rockwell doing like 8 minutes on ladyboys? Go back to CBS- they'll let you know he's coming on ahead of time.
