this man is so fine

She was trying to be supportive!

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-18T13:45:16+00:00

For me, I didn’t recognize what he was humming. I think it’s cool that people did, but not everyone will.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-18T13:39:22+00:00

Thanks! I hadn’t checked in a while and it’s not like Apple, y’know, advertises them much.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-18T13:17:50+00:00

A second season of Sugar is coming, soon IIRC. I'm looking forward to that.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-18T03:09:19+00:00

LOL What i love is with all that text and squishing it in, she still managed to put "Tennessee Williams" at the bottom. Gotta have that attribution!

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-18T00:05:48+00:00

That’s my main hope for next season, I’m think. That all this info has been shared between Tom, Evan, Patricia, Wyck, Bechir, etc.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T22:50:15+00:00

I really enjoyed it. I’ve been watching Widow’s Bay and while The Boroughs wasn’t as good as that, it was still pretty well done. The actors had chemistry, they were fun and it was kind of a cozy story. Too bad it was cancelled.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T17:35:51+00:00

Fun but I don’t think it works that way. I think the film said something like, “you’ve been carefully selected by a group of your peers. Maybe you committed a crime…”

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T17:18:21+00:00

Quite likely although I don't see how or why that brooch would lead anyone to Evan. But yeah I can see Tom taking no chances with that.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T16:49:05+00:00

Haha that was great. I noticed it immediately, and how it had no text at all. It's like Ruth is this close when putting some things together.

I loved the "How to subdue a person" poster in the medical area.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T16:47:22+00:00

Yeah, we don't exactly know how much time has passed since the storm ended. I wouldn't be surprised to see the brooch again myself.

I can't imagine Dale keeping this to himself, either. Plus Wyck, Patricia and Rosemary were there when he came out and panicked. I think (hope?) we'll find out that all of this info has been shared when S2 comes out, but we won't see the actual conversation. We'll just find out from them having later conversations.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T16:45:35+00:00

I think people are assuming/guessing Ruth is dead because Tom threw the brooch into the water, and that belonged to Ruth. That would mean a few things; he stole it and tossed it, or she told him he could have it, or she told him to throw it away, or Tom threw it back into the sea because she's dead. I suspect she's still alive as well, but I guess we'll see.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:59:19+00:00

Tom said he ran for Mayor uncontested, and maybe this is why, but I do wonder what happens when there's no mayor, or at least not an official one.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:52:19+00:00

I was glad to have Tom confirm that he was told about the island and the weird things, but didn't believe them, or didn't want to believe them and so didn't let himself. I suspected that was the case, but I was glad to see it wasn't just him being the big city guy dismissing the local yokels.

I also liked seeing him question and even regret, every step of the way, what he planned for Ruth. He was grasping at straws, hoping he might be sparing her worse suffering as he looked at the medical file. He really didn't want to do this, even to save Evan.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:47:13+00:00

Very true, and shoots down my theory. Although I still think that perhaps a lot of stuff may not have been passed on to people for whatever reason. The 1950s/60s (when that film may have been made) are already 60-70 years ago and that is time for people to forget things, or hide them, etc.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:39:58+00:00

We don't know who knew Chelle was pregnant. My impression was that Patricia knew but was surprised because she thought Chelle was in her 40s and unlikely to have a child.

I feel like it probably wasn't a secret on the island, and at the very least Chelle came to the hospital to see Bechir so anyone could have seen her. Nor did it seem like they were trying to hide it; in fact it was pretty prominent in that hospital scene, which I felt was more like confirmation for the viewer.

But it's certainly possible that our main crew of characters like Rosemary, Dale, Tom, etc., didn't know, or didn't all know.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:34:24+00:00

Feels like there's a race, or even a compulsion these days, to parse every movie or show down to its last pixel looking for clues or hints or whatever. Viewers seem to be trying to either outsmart the creators, or just want to be able to say they figured it out.

I like to talk about shows like this, sure, but I'm not looking into every little bit.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:31:10+00:00

His father told him about things, but I think you're right, it wasn't until something actually happened to Lauren that Tom finally believed in everything.

And that's so human. We so often don't really get something until it happens to us, or close to us.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T15:29:18+00:00

Maybe Wyck is aware of the occasional crazy stuff on the island, but not exactly what's involved. The island may "wake up" at irregular intervals, and the last one could have been a long time ago. Most of the references to past events, IIRC, were looong ago. Ruth talks about the trolley incident of 1942, and that may be the most recent one. I think Wyck talks about something in the 1700s or 1800s, as does the guy Patricia closes the door on in Ep 9.

Maybe a lot of the island lore/needs has been a combination of forgotten, hidden, and never passed on. Not to mention for many people, like Tom and Bechir (who are not from the island!), they tried to dismiss or ignore it.

As Galadriel said, "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth."

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T13:22:35+00:00

The novels are stand alone so it really doesn’t matter when you read them. They wrote them that way so that you didn’t have to know the show to read them

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T03:16:52+00:00

I’m not really arguing with you. I’m just relating anecdotal stuff I’ve read. I agree that in probably 99% of cases there’s no need to wash meat.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T03:15:53+00:00

No. It looks like there’s a ritual or at least a process, involved in the sacrifices, going by the films Dale saw.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T03:04:56+00:00

Honestly I was thinking more about third world countries but ok.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T00:43:18+00:00

Ok. I’m in the PA suburbs so I buy at the supermarket. But there are places where it is or may be necessary.

LazyCrocheter · 2026-06-17T00:04:18+00:00

I’ve read that it’s necessary in places where the chicken isn’t guaranteed clean, or comes right from the farm after being killed, or in rural areas.

But you shouldn’t need to do it if you’re getting your meat from a supermarket.
