I was also wondering along these lines, if in fact a town that's described as small and rural would even have the facilities to host a lavish book party, let alone one that serves liver pate and has a valet stand in the middle of what looked like an empty lot. Who were those people at the party? They certainly weren't residents of East-town.
I LOL'd when Mare stuffed the partly chewed pate behind the cushion of the sofa.
Community colleges often host cultural happenings.

But by the time he decided to attack her outside her home, stalk her, follow her home, and toss a gallon of milk through her window, he KNEW what his daughter had done. Mare had video of her beating the crap out of a girl who is now dead, yet this father felt justified in attacking Mare of all people?
Brad Inglesby grew up in a town like this, he's said, and I attribute them being written like this to reflect the perception of someone who looked around their Smallville home town, and saw how a few families had absolute rule. Same thing we saw in Paper Cuts.

Geez, as someone who grew up in one of those small northern towns, this is brutal. And I'm frigging glued because this is so true, about all the crap that gets swept under the rug.

They're losing me, with all the violence. It's not what I come to period drama or steampunk for.

I realize that I'm not going to convince anyone, but believe me when I say the Times was a national newspaper long before the internet came around.
Additionally, the Times is on archive in just about every library in the US, including high schools and colleges. If someone doesn't think their coverage at the time was relevant, it says more about the awareness of the person making that charge than it does about the Times.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Roman Polanski won an Oscar after he was accused of rape.
Polanski's 13 yo victim testified in court that he loaded her on booze and pills and forcibly raped her.
Mia Farrow is Polanski's staunchest defender. In the film, Wanted and Desired, she dismisses what happened to Samantha Geimer by saying, and I'm paraphrasing because it was years ago, "and she looked much older than 13."
Geimer, by the way, apparently got the peace she needed long ago and recently ripped the Farrows' attempts to destroy Allen publicly instead of taking him to court while they can still sue for wrong-doing. It makes Mia's hypocrisy all the more mind-blowing.
The Farrows insist Dylan can't heal because the public keeps forgetting. Considering all the years she's had with the best therapists money can buy, it ought to be clear they are far more hell bent on revenge and exploitation than healing.
I don't know if Woody Allen molested his own kid. Maybe.
There are thousands, 10s, 100s of thousands, millions of people walking around who were victims of childhood sexual abuse. Any of of them who has taken the steps to heal would be a better adviser to Dylan than Mia.

Was the investor on the phone with Logan played by Julian Sands? I checked IMDb and couldn’t find a credit at all. It was blurry video calling, but I had a Julian Sands vibe from the voice.
I also thought it sounded like Sands but

Sidebar can we acknowledge how hot Matthew McFayden looked swimming off the yacht 🔥
I'm still marveling that this is the same dude who played Mr. Darcy. Excellent actor but damn, Tom's selective morality is annoying AF. The "unhappier" line was absolutely brilliant but the Minnesota boy-scout act wears thin when I consider his enthusiasm for setting Greg up to be his fall guy.

I did notice the forehead wrinkle/expression line. I wonder if it's CGI? Anyway, the forehead wrinkle deserves a nod in the next Golden Globes.
This may sound kind of odd, but this was the first time in ages that she looked like the Nicole Kidman I saw in Dead Calm and Days of Thunder. Seems like in everything after that, she looked like a porcelain doll.
Too bad they had to go for the gotcha ending and throw in the violence.

Aside from the public defender accent, the assistant district attorney had one I could not place either.
Sounded vaguely European, lots of immigrants in NY

Her Australian accent always creeps into her voice when playing American roles. You would think she’d be better by now of course she may not even work with a voice coach.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hugh Grant play an American that I can recall.I'm intrigued that they aren't making any effort to affect tony NY accents at all; not for Nicole, not for anyone, and odd considering Donald Sutherland has done it before (6 Degrees).

Why do we assume Ruby is dead dead, when she could be just mostly dead and in a coma? My other big question is, how did Christina find Montrose in the first place? Hannah's spell to hide the family didn't work so great.

Elana's obviously targeting Grace, the gym scene and then staring at her, at the party, was super stalky. Screams of sizing up her lover's wife.

I'm just popping in here to ask if people still think this season was overly convoluted, considering Jeffrey Epstein, et al.

Geez. If the intention of the series is to demonstrate why some people should not be together, it succeeds.
He exploited their relationship to get a book deal. Shitty, but he was prepared to be open to whatever way it went. I don't mind that he got his heart broken for it, but what she did in keeping him from going to the police was far, far worse.
ETA: If this gets renewed, I hope it picks up with the book being published, so we can see Ruby react to knowing the whole world knows what a conscience-free POS she is.

Kudos to everyone who had it figured that Dolores targeted Caleb from the start.
SpoilerI'm betting that by the end of season 4, Charlores will lose her pearl to another copy of Dolores.
If they don't find some way to bring ERW back I'll be disappointed.
I enjoyed the story for the season but wish it had more emotional richness. Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright and Vincent Cassel were all wasted and Hemsworth doesn't have enough charisma to pull off a character that numb and make him someone to root for.

The parallels between hosts and people continue to be fairly pronounced. I actually don't think Dolores is trying to destroy the world at all. I think she is earnest in trying to give the humans free will/self determination.
I don't have to view Dolores' attempt to smash Rehoboam as intentionally benevolent for the humans, but, at a certain point you have to wonder if humans were treating the hosts as badly as they were specifically because they were so constrained and manipulated in the outside world.
Overall this episode was pretty meh for me. Caleb isn't compelling, he's just .. let's say Passing Pawn is a good name for him.

Well that was interesting.
I can't imagine what William would be necessary for at this point.-

I'm doing a rewatch and the question occurred to me: do WWs go straight from Ice Baby to Ice Grandaddy? There don't seem to be any juveniles.
Silly I know ...

Anybody have any thoughts on why the Serac brothers named their various iterations of the machine after Jewish kings?
Son of Solomon (think: wise) is my guess.

I was happy with this episode. It stayed fairly linear, or at least easily trackable time-wise, and loved the music. Bowie and more Bowie? Yes, please.
Granted, things were way too easy for team Dolores in this episode, so I'm guessing next week will bring some huge setbacks (hi Maeve!).
Liam's end was surprisingly easy. I was half-expecting to see him get tied to a pier post.

I thought that was comic relief and loved it.

Have I said how much I hope Serac gets fleshed out and meaty? Yes, I'm biased, I've had a small screen crush on Vincent Cassel ever since Eastern Promises. He has such amazing screen presence, and it will truly suck if the only thing he walks on for, is to menace our girls.

I'm so confused. What is Serac after? Is it the information that was amassed on all the guests at the WW? What for? To take over the world? Doesn't his computer Rebowhatever already have all the data on everyone? I don't get it.
Is it too easy, to speculate he wants to take over the Forge/Cradle and recreate Paris? Or perhaps, perhaps that will be his consolation prize if Dolores is successful in killing Rehoboam.
Speaking of which, I refuse to believe in such a simple premise Maeve good: Dolores bad. Maeve has one motivation: to be with her daughter. Dolores wants the opposite, she wants to kick all the kids out of the nest. Mother's love and protection vs 'get out of my house and go have a life.' The thought this story could go Dany 2.0 makes me want to stop watching right now and wait out the series end. Cause I'm not going through that again.

Mare of Easttown Spoilers and Speculation
in Mare Of Easttown
· Edited by FemmyV
That's actually an interesting point re: environmental pollution. Some of those towns were dumping grounds for all manner of shit.
I'm starting to wonder if we're going to see or learn some of Mare's even more negative, darker side. Was she once as abusive as everyone else in town seems to be? Could be. They say guys grow up and marry someone just like their moms, maybe she and Carrie have more in common than we know. She had no trouble at all putting the smack down on Brianna's family in their own restaurant. Most of us don't wake up one day and set out humiliating people.
I'm also starting to wonder if Mare might know exactly where Katie Bailey is, and if she is alive or dead. She knows the pain of losing a child, maybe she's trying to spare her old friend from having to feel what Mare thinks would be even worse pain, than a missing kid.
