re: White Lotus S3 Discussion (spoilers)

Rick storyline was so disappointing

He tried to kill the owner and immediately goes back to the resort where they know he’s staying? lol he deserved to die

He might have also thought that the guy who killed his father was going to let those sleeping dogs lie, which seems kind of rational. But I probably would have left town after assaulting the guy in his own house knowing, or believing, he'd already killed one person and he's a rich influential guy in a third world country.

One thing is that the Asian owner lady at the end did not seem upset about her husband when driving away in car. Did I miss something?

Also next season will it be South America/Central America? Seems like they like to flip back and forth locations.

It’s shocking how poorly-written and weak this season was, considering all the attention it got.

What's sad is when Rick is carrying her away as she's dying/dead in his arms, I still noticed her titties jiggling. I have a titty problem.

I didn't think that it was THAT poorly-written, but even if the ending was rushed, for me this show is about the characters, the humor, and the tension. MW does a great job of letting things simmer, then come to a boil, and the awkward, and uncomfortable interactions that come out keeps me on the edge of my seat, but also makes me laugh. As someone who finds awkward situations hilarious, I love that aspect of it. And the cast nailed that stuff.

Lochlan getting poisoned was a good plot move but I gotta say the way Lochlan ended up getting poisoned was bad writing.

The dad trying to use the fruit and blender to poison everyone made sense but a few things just did not at all

1. They’re from NC, on vacation, the high school senior has been seen drinking with family on the trip, but the dad all of a sudden forbids him to drink and no one questions it? Unrealistic

2. He doesn’t immediately clean out the blender to get rid of any evidence he tried to poison his family after he decided not to? Unrealistic

3. Lochlan doesn’t clean the blender after it’s been sitting out all night and allegedly had spoiled coconut milk in it? Unrealistic.

They could have pulled off the same story in a much better way.









Otherwise I liked the finale, no closure on the Russians which is pretty strange. I guess they wanted to show how Gaitok made out like a bandit despite blundering everything all season.

I like the somewhat open ending for the Ratliffs, the shows about the resort and the people on vacation there, they were off the resort and their vacation was over, whatever happens to them is kind of irrelevant now. Maybe he jumped in the fricking ocean

Rick and Chelsea were always dead, sad for Chelsea and I bet that therapist feels responsible (which she kind of is he was clearly in crisis).

I’m not mad at Belinda, she played that smart, get your money and GTFO. The manager already had shown her the White Lotus employees will protect high rollers regardless, so is it really smart to trust Pornchai with her secret? I say no and she’d be going against her deal with Gary, leave Thailand and never come back, start your massage parlor in Hawaii or wherever.

We got closure on the women’s relationship which was nice but since the Russians ended up being inconsequential their whole storyline ended up pointless as far as the overall plot of the season. I guess their whole existence was just to give us friend drama, some hot cougar scenes, and to provide a red herring for the ending.

Why is that unrealistic? He told him to grab a coke instead. I don't see why that's such a big issue

He's eating the lorezapams like their candy. He's high and forgot to clean it. Again, I don't see why it's unrealistic. The kid not cleaning the blender was the silly part

And when push comes to shove, Piper shows she is just a pretentious spoiled brat and is ok with it

My favorite scene was Piper telling Victoria how rough her night was and Victoria going on this whole thing about how they live better than 99% of people in history.

Then you forget Tim's there and the camera cuts to him hearing all of this.
