re: The White Lotus- Season 2

guess my one question would be. If the plan was to kill Tanya from the start. Why did they do this whole thing to entertain her and be seen constantly in public just for the plan to be to murder her and throw her in the ocean?

---

I see that, but I can also see why partying with her for 3 days in public makes it less suspicious then murdering her an hour after meeting. Her falling off a boat with tons of drugs in her system after 3 days of partying is a completely reasonable situation.

I also am a little confused about the camera filming everything if they were just going to kill her.

It sorta makes it better that everything wasn’t all wrapped up in a pretty little bow.

How was he a creep?

He was a creep initially assuming he could pay her, then offering up meetings with “important people” that was obviously bullshite

quote:

Was shocked that Cam ended up paying Lucia too. Didn’t see that coming.

---

That scene happened right before the scene where the dad agreed to wire the money and for a second my mind started racing thinking of a way Cam got the money through that wire transfer.

didn't like Ethan giving Harper a free pass for hooking up with Cam. We are to assume he banged Daphne on the island, so I guess that makes it ok. I don't like that part. They were supposed to be the "better" couple- you would expect that type of behavior from Cam and Daphne.

---

I don't think this is the kind of show where someone is "better." I think it's supposed to show the good and bad in everyone and make you think about what would you really do in those situations. It's subjective as to whether Ethan and Harper come out ok after having lived/grown through this problem (do we even think they really hooked up or not?) or do they devolve down into their own version of Cam and Daphne?

Will be interesting to see if he returns in S3 or if they start fresh with a whole new cast. The director's cut after the show mentioned Eastern Religion- so maybe Maldives or possibly and island in the Phillippines?

---

I've heard a couple of things that said probably somewhere in Asia. So probably yes, Eastern...maybe sort of an Eat Pray Love place? I think we will see Greg again because he has the money now, but who knows?

This was a fun show.

Finale was alright, didn't hate it, didn't love it.

Initially I thought that Albie was a huge dumbass for getting easily scammed out of 50k, and Dominic for giving it to him knowing what would happen, and they probably are, but the more I've thought about it, I agree with the people saying that he actually got a pretty good deal, and if the money was insignificant to them, which it obviously was, then who cares. He got to bang a smoking hot Italian chick, and he probably felt ok with her getting that money. If the money was small potatoes to them, then it is what it is.

I got the impression that when Dominic called his wife at the end, he sensed that she was in bed with someone else, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

I hate Tanya died, but at least she didn't go out like no punk. I know a lot of people think that Coolidge is annoying, but I find her to be quite hilarious. When she tells Portia that Jack fricked his uncle I lost it.

I'm fine with how the Cam/Daphne/Ethan/Harper thing played out. I thought for sure one of them was going to die, but I'm fine with Ethan and Harper finding their groove. Cam played that part so good. When he smiles, and lays back in the water and backstrokes after getting into a violent tussle and almost dying-that was pretty good stuff. Dude is a wild man. People like him scare me.

Jack letting Portia go was a pretty good arc ending for his character. He played the damaged, crazy eurotrash douchebag to a tee, but got some redemption at the end.

I loved the closing scene with Lucia and Mia prancing through the beautiful Sicily streets. Beautiful film right there.

Yes, but Portia may be scared enough to not ever mention it.

Of course she will be questioned about it, but not sure she wants to tangle with what really happened after Jacks threat to her.

Not sure what evidence could possibly send Greg to jail.

---

This is assuming that there is no paper trail of any sort that would link him to anything, which there usually is in cases like that. That, along with Portia's testimony would be pretty damning.

quote:

---

Paper trail? You think they signed a contract to commit murder? I don’t think the mafia works like that. The paper trail would be after he collects the money and transfer payments.

---

I'm referring to more of a correspondence paper trail-recordings, texts, phone records, etc. not a "contract" lol They had to communicate somehow.

quote:

---

What would her testimony be? “I had a bad feeling”. She was found drown with hard drugs in her system. They would link her to the boat where a bunch of people were shot.

---

Dude, really?

"Tanya and I talked on the phone hours before she was found dead while I was being held against my will by Quentin's "nephew" and she said that she was scared that Quentin and his associates were going to kill her and that she saw a picture of her husband and Quentin so they clearly know each unless that is just a billion to 1 coincidence.

Oh yeah, Quentin's "nephew" dumped me in the ghetto and suggested I leave on an airplane immediately because Quentin and his people are powerful, bad people that would likely make me disappear if I got involved further."

Why does Portia dress like she's in 5th grade? Couldn't stand her
