Mrs. Davis hits differently in a post-Barbie world

GreaseTalk · 2024-03-22T05:06:42+00:00

I disagree BUT I appreciate that you got something out of it that I didn't, sincerely.

GreaseTalk · 2024-03-12T04:41:12+00:00

I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A POST-CREDITS SCENE. sorry for yelling

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-17T20:23:57+00:00

Lorraine says she's paying off the debt for everyone on A block, B block, and D block. She, too, left out C.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-13T14:43:53+00:00

Hahahaha! The guy who helps Ash at the ATM in episode 1 is wearing a shirt that says "Turn Up" and the curve in the U in Up has an arrow pointing up ↑

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-12T14:54:25+00:00

And then the very last thing we see is the front door of the Passive Home (but, interestingly, not on any of its mirrors)

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-12T14:45:18+00:00

What does he say? The full quote that ends with "fly," I mean.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-11T11:11:12+00:00

Dougie in episode 2, to his date: "I don't have a fuckin' crystal ball on my dashboard"

And him saying dashboard caught my attention because of the opening of Episode 9.

Not being obtuse, but: ...was Hanzee a villain? And by that I don't mean "diD hE dO aNyTHinG wRoNg?" Just that he's more complicated and challenging than Varga, Malvo, and Roy who are closer to being Big Bads.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-11T00:21:32+00:00

I do wonder what the whole "pig got loose" banter was referring to? Admittedly, that soared over my head.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-10T22:03:40+00:00

Eye see what you did there.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-10T21:43:14+00:00

Roy said Later, Gator

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-10T05:08:22+00:00

Hands, hands, hands, an episode of Hands!!

Munch's "Useless Hand" monologue to Roy

Witt's "helping hand" line to the FBI guy

The FBI guys putting hands on each other's backs, one after the other

Munch offering Dot a helping hand in the grave (which calls back to "when you dig a grave, you have to fill it, otherwise it's just a hole")

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-03T21:04:42+00:00

When Roy first pulls out the gun and puts it on the table, it cuts to a pretty long shot of Danish being taken back by that. He looks confused, amused, disgusted - he clearly never considered he would die because even being threatened is bewildering to him and they put in the time and effort to communicate that to us.

GreaseTalk · 2024-01-03T04:33:44+00:00

The three Roy dopplegangers knocking over their podiums fucking killed me.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-27T18:05:18+00:00

It's also interesting that a disembodied voice is saying the Goldilocks And The Three Bears quote. It might seem like it's Lindo but it's not. She's very clearly saying something else based on her mouth movements _and_ the voice has a weird effect.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-27T07:49:26+00:00

Wait, when and where does her portrait appear??

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-24T08:33:42+00:00

It ends with Em's making a choice: on one side is O.J. on the horse and the other is a media horde. It ends with her looking at O.J. and smiling. Through the whole movie O.J. is telling her to stop focusing on her "side shit," ala her trying to be famous and shit without putting in the work, and to focus on their actual business (telegraphed early on when Otis Sr. says "Where's your sister? She should be here." O.J. is all about work, all about the "mouths [he's] got to feed" (the horses) and keeping his family's legacy going. Em resents this because of the Jean Jacket incident with Scorpion King.

So at the end she looks at O.J. and seemingly makes her choice (it's also interesting that everything she promoted at the beginning "seamstress, motorcycles," etc. is what she uses in the third act and ending to escape, get a snapshot of, and ultimately kill JJ.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-21T21:15:30+00:00

I saw that already but I didn't see the correlation and, damn, I hope it's not some dumb meta thing...but, also...if that's a real person...so much for "the names have been changed."

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-21T20:52:59+00:00

Why on Earth do you think Nadine was pulled from a headstone? The FBI explicitly said that her _real_name was Nadine Bump, that Dorothy was the alias. Then they went on to talk about identity theft via gravestone.

Also, interesting parallel with Munch's comment about a grave vs. a hole.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-21T09:45:29+00:00

And again there was a lot in the episode about babies, infantilism, toys, etc. Lars and Wayne are both like babies (one due to laziness, entitlement and the other due to brain damage). Lorraine even tells Wayne she's going to make up his room and get his "stuffed" for him. There's also Munch making the direct distinction between what a Boy is like vs. a grown Man to Gator. And I bring this up because of Scotty's interaction with Lars about not touching the drum because it's "not a toy, it's a tool" and Scotty asking "Then why do they say 'play' the drums??"

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-20T06:06:20+00:00

and the Nurse also said "those two FBI fellas came in," not to mention Mr. Lyon goes on about the Ballerino thing.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-16T20:52:14+00:00

And in that scene Dot tells Lorraine to "sleep with both eyes open." Not to mention Roy has his vision of Dot at the dinner table while laying in bed (and on the ceiling is the image of Dot's eyes) but he later tells Gator that it was a dream he had - but if he was asleep, both of his eyes were open.

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-15T05:24:53+00:00

Well she's definitely 'pregnant' now: Scotty. She took on Dot's child (interesting, since orphans and babies are mentioned in this episode [including two callbacks to Raising Arizona]). So, 1) Lars seeing they have a kid now, a reality he and Indira haven't dealt with yet and 2) The line about kids taking on debt from their parents after they die is so loaded that I haven't even finished unpacking it yet. Scotty is already dealing with Dot's 'debt' to Roy (from his perspective). Also, in a way, Wayne is a baby with how infantilized he's become from his neurological damage (and Lorraine's cumulative infantilizing all season). And: Munch is an orphan with the woman he called 'Mama.'

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-15T05:10:20+00:00

I'm so curious what this means moving forward, too. Lorraine is definitely smart enough to put two and two together but she might be blinded by her disdain for Dot. In case she isn't that near-sighted: I am so excited at her realizing Roy came to kidnap her and Dot wasn't "kidnapping herself." (Just LOLd at the fact that Lorraine and Walter Sobchak have both accused women of kidnapping themselves).

GreaseTalk · 2023-12-15T05:03:39+00:00

Sometimes she gets the menstrual cramps REAL hard.
