Is a town of 2,000 in Missouri big enough to support a gay bar? Give me a break.

I guess I missed this. Not that it matters.

The bar that Camille and the cop are always in is a gay bar?

Right off the bat you see that Camille has an Obama poster. No surprise, this is Hollywood. But as the show goes on you find out that Camille is a self mutilating, snobbish, antisocial drunk.

If she had a Trump poster in the background im sure you'd be saying "of course there is a Trump poster, because they would never have a self mutilating, snobbish, antisocial drunk as a democrat, no surprise, this is hollywood."

I love being politically neutral, I dont look for reasons to get mad and small stuff like that doesnt bother me. It could have been a obama or trump poster and i'm going to view the show the same either way, base my opinion on the quality of the show not something that has nothing to do with it.

I think it was before the guy that currently owns it bought the place. Either it was a gay bar, or the previous owner/owners were gay.

thats it, im done with this show

I knew her and her sister had a thing. I mentioned it a few weeks back that her sister was hitting on her, and it shows them making out next week. Wtf

This show is mental

When I was young, I would have loved to have met a girl who wouldn't kiss me, but grabbed my hand and put it down her pants.

Adoras just very dramatic and two faced. Which is pretty fitting for an individual that has that much power in a town like Wind Gap.

I knew that the music teacher had something to do with the gang rape.

Amma’s ability to get Molly cracked me up a bit.

Jackie O is probably the one character that I can’t seem to figure out. She’s pretty fricked in the head to confront Camille about her article. It’s almost like she wants this story to get her a bit of fame.

Amma is so messed up in the head. She also knows way too much.

What does John Keene’s girlfriend know? Why hasn’t Camille has a follow up chat with them?

NYT episode 5 review

Reporter’s Notebook:
Maybe I was suffering from overstimulation during the Calhoun Day scenes, but the only hidden words I noticed this week were written on Camille’s skin: whine, oven, aggression, girl, wrong, stop, proper, after, tough. I’m pretty sure she has “teeth” scratched into her arm, which seems noteworthy in light of the killer’s extraction fetish. What I initially read as “rip” is probably “R.I.P.,” since there’s an M underneath it that must stand for “Marian.” Later, when Camille goes to Willis’s motel room, we see the episode’s title scratched into her flesh.

Subtler suggestions of sexual violence are everywhere on Calhoun Day. A married townie whom Camille knew when she was in school pressures her to take a walk alone with him. When she sees Kirk Lacey, Camille flashes back to what is presumably a day in the end zone: A teenage Kirk takes off his jacket as he approaches her. Is this the dark history to which Amma referred in last week’s episode (and if so, how does she know about his past)? Or does she have something else on him? And when Camille is in bed with Willis, although he acquiesces to doing things “her way,” he holds her wrists down.

“Your Preaker girl?” Vickery says to Willis, referring to Camille. “Good tree, bad apple.” But her editor, Curry, calls her one of the few decent people left in the world. Setting aside the fact that “good tree” isn’t necessarily an accurate assessment of the Crellins, who’s right about her?

Camille’s article is published on Calhoun Day — and it seems that everyone at the barbecue has read it. (Why she finds this shocking, I can’t begin to imagine.) What’s fascinating is that they all interpret her report that police are investigating suspects who live in Wind Gap as confirmation that either Bob Nash or John Keene is the killer. This is more magical thinking: They just can’t fathom that someone who isn’t an outcast could be the culprit. It’s no wonder that a drunk, broken Bob attacks John during the pageant.

Adora’s cruelty toward Camille is really escalating. Because we know she visited Camille in rehab, we also know she is aware of her daughter’s cutting problem. So why does she force her to try on revealing dresses? Later, Adora invites Willis to walk across her ivory floor, which Camille has never been allowed to touch, in an encounter that seems calculated both to make Camille jealous and to alienate Willis from her.

Finally, there’s the way Adora talks about Camille’s birth father. Supposedly, Camille has his coloring (even though she’s pale and fair-haired like her mother and half sisters) and his “cold nature” — although this accusation feels a bit rich coming from an ice queen like Adora.

Amma's just as controlling as Adora is. What do you mean by "she knows too much"? It's pretty clear that she's being vague on the relationship she had with those two other girls.

Ashley comes off as a know it all that wants some of the spot light on herself. Camille got a pretty big piece of information when John told her about the three girls playing in that weird shed not too far from her families property. Amma still hasn't explained (and likely wont) the relationship they had with that place.

With that being said, I don't trust anything that Ashley says.

quote:

Amma has too. She knows something really really important imo. Whoever is murdering these people is probably targeting her next so I think it is possible she dies with her knowledge.

---

It would make sense for her to be the next target. It also doesn't help that she seems to disappear all the time. Amma wants power in town where that is limited to her mother and the sheriff.

Does anyone else think the woman in white is a hallucination of the main character?

Didn't the little boy see the lady in white?

She lives in STL. That's when her editor mentions Wind Gap and going back home.
