re: White Lotus S3 Discussion (spoilers)

Theory: The dead person in Epsidoe 1 is the Asian masseuse. Last time someone told Belinda they would help her start her own spa, they flaked on her. The Asian guy said he would help Belinda start a spa so I predict that he gets shot and it falls through again.

I love the Gaitok is a secret badass theory but idk if thats the case. I just don't see how that adds up.

Gary being a CIA operative would be interesting but I don't think it tracks with last season. A CIA operative doesn't have his wife killed to inherit her money. Maybe they do but I don't think it tracks.

The owner's husband is definitely going to be Goggins's dad or dads best friend or something. I'd be shocked if it turned out to be his father's murderer.

I also agree the younger brother is gonna try to bang the sister. I don't think he came into the show as a sexual deviant but now his mind is open to the possibility.

Lastly, the hotel manager's music performance is gonna go wrong. EIther no one is going to show up or its gonna be bad or something and I think he snaps.

I rewatched the after show. Schwarzenegger talks about how during the boat party you see Lochlan's confidence grow while in the aftermath Saxon is suddenly shaken to the core and insecure for the first time. Sam Nivola who plays Lochlan said that since he is being pushed away by Saxon, he goes fully into Piper's camp with an opportunity to "swing and possibly miss at the next sibling".

I'd argue that the young, hot shot white guy has been the most interesting hotel guest character in each season.

---

I’ve argued that Shane in season 1 is the only character across all seasons who likes who he is, understands his place in the world, relishes in it unapologetically, and is entirely comfortable in his frame as a man.

So how are we ranking the storylines (they are starting to blend together obviously)...

- 40 year old cougars
- South Carolina family
- Chelsea and Rick
- Gaitok and Mook
- Belinda and Gary/Greg
- Side characters: hotel owner, Chloe, Valentin, hotel manager, etc.

Man Schwarzenegger is the best character on the show. That dude is so funny and plays the part perfectly. His reactions in this episode were so good.

---

I was laughing at him in every scene he was in this episode, which is definitely the best of the season so far. Finally getting that interweaving mayhem to ramp up in White Lotus fashion.

Carolina family
Rick
Greg/Belinda
The rest

Carolina family only #1 for me because the actors have been so good. I swear Parker Posey is doing a spot on impression of my MIL and now that my wife is in her 40’s, I am looking at crystal ball for my next 20 years.

Rick’s story line has been building and I think there will be a huge payoff.

The Greg story line is right there too, but overhanging with “how is he going to get away with it again.” Complete scum bag but it will be a crazy twist if gets out of it all again.

All of the other storylines are great but I think they’re in support of a climax in those three.

Trying to give this show another shot. I quit season 1 because Stfler's mom is too annoying.

Going off of episode 1.

The dad is an a-hole

The guy with the brit chick is an a-hole

The older son is a douche

The younger son is gay

The 3 chicks obviously have some issues between them. Likely jealousy of the celebrity chick

The brit chick "lip bits" from sex education has a tight body but, her teeth are distracting. Will be disappointed if she doesn't get naked. She's the only likeable character so far.

The mom and sister are basically non factors so far.

Does this show drop as a series? Or is it like 1 episode a week?

Its one show a week so you keep your plan. The show in all 3 seasons builds to where you want to keep watching. I like to hold off and watch at least 2 at a time. Can't do that now so this is the only reason I am on this Post with the spoilers.

Her character was better in season 2. I get she is annoying and all though.

Ep1: actress and Austin chick talking shite about the alcoholic

Ep2: Austin chick and alcoholic talking shite about the actress

Ep3??…. Actress and alcoholic talking shite about Austin chick??

so spot on with groups of female friends irl. Which ever "friend" isn't with the group at a particular time gets shite on.

She's so great, she looks so happy...... she looks so defeated.
