Chaos Theory

The magic of Plexus….

Also late to the party and didn’t know about the cheating scandal. On one hand good for the kids for taking the initiative and doing something interesting (not that I condone cheating even a little) and showing some signs of life. On the other hand needing to cheat on what is likely a basic math and reading test that my ten year old nephew could pass is kinda sad. Although giving any of these kids an actual high school equivalency test would be kinda fascinating.

I don’t get why people are outright wishing the show be cancelled. If you don’t like it stop watching. Hate watching tv never made any sense to me. Besides I think the season is really good in both timelines. I am really enjoying the current timeline and watching everyone’s lives self destruct. i don’t think Van is going to die. My guess is that Tai is going to kill her wife (ex-wife) as a sacrifice and Van miraculously get better. The doctors will blather on about sudden remission but Tai will believe sacrificing the woman she never loved for the woman she always loved actually worked. what I actually find the most interesting is that Misty has changed the least. She is fundamentally the same person, for better and worse,in both timelines. She is capable of great evil but it doesn’t set her off like it does the others. But Misty is also capable of going to great lengths to try and help someone she cares about in both timelines. Misty is kinda on a reverse trajectory that Shauna is on.

I keep thinking back that there was a point in the show where no one liked Callie and thought Jeff was a pleasant bore. Now they are two of the most interesting characters of the current timeline. Shauna is spinning completely out of control in both timelines which says something about why she went entirely Stepford Wiife when they got rescued. I always called her passive aggressive and that might be more right than I realized. She has two modes. Passive and aggressive and right now she is being very aggressive in both timelines.

Would I want to be an Anne Rice Vampire or not? The witches all suck balls but the vampires are all kinda cool.

2nd post but I would hate to live in the wilderness on Yellowjackets. I could deal with the cannibalism but the lack of television or WiFi (yes I know the time period predates it) would likely drive me to it. Also any of the ships on Battlestar Galactica. Yay female president and traveling in space would be fun but I have my needs . On The flip side I think I might enjoy living on The Orville

Anyone who likes incest but hates weddings. Its not living there but I wouldn’t mind spending time in any of the places on White Lotus even with the specter of death looming over the vacation.

Reality tv is like everything else it has its trends. The big ass family with cute kids has run its course. The newest trend is finding romance in the weirdest of places. If Jill is that desperate for fame she should try to get one of her daughters to fall in love with a guy in prison. Maybe Love After Lockup or Farmer Wants a Wife will be more her speed. Heck considering the way she treats them her kids would think Survivor was a cake walk.

This season isn’t hitting me like other seasons have. I can’t explain exactly why. I know Walter Goggins is a fan favorite actor but he does nothing for me. The family story is a bit weird with the incest stuff but I don’t think it has anything to do with LGBTQ stuff except how people conflate the two even though they are completely separate issues. I am actually the most interesting in the middle brother because he is the least defined and caught between Saxton’s extreme masculinity and Piper’s perceived spirituality. It would be interesting if it was all because she doesn’t want to be like her mother who seems to only care about money.

The set up for this is interesting. I only watched the first episode so far but right now I like the concept. Telling the story of a serial killer through the perspective of his daughter who is now a wife and mother works for me. It allows the creepiness of the serial killer but doesn’t focus on him like most shows of this type do.

But these kids have been blanket trained and likely trained not to be too loud or too difficult. The RV was likely eerily quiet even with it stuffed from floor to rafters with people. The smell well well we know Jill sprayed the kids with perfume so that was handled.

I really the show should drop the personal stuff. I am usually the opposite with procedurals (I need the personal stories to care about any of the main characters). but I just think the personal stuff is dragging the show down. Although I did like the personal stuff in the first season so it just might be this season getting real depressing with personal stories.

I think Will hadn’t talked to dead people since season 1. It was one of the best aspects of the show and I didn’t realize how much I missed it. It is a fun conceit for the show. And no he isn’t actually talking to dead people. I always thought it was a way to get into his thought process without a VO.

I have been a bit behind on this show due to RL issues and just plain forgetting the day each episode drops. I was kinda hoping Coach Ben would survive through mainly because I was hoping he was the one who killed Lottie in the current timeline. But I do like that his death has been made important because he was the bridge to the girls doing something they just can’t handwave as being hungry and desperate. His death also brought the birdwatchers which will bring only bad things for them. I hope chasing down rare birds was worth it people. What do birdwatchers taste like? The adult timeline is starting to pickup steam. There is a real mystery afoot and someone knows what they did and I am curious if it is one of them or if it is another survivor who we haven’t met the adult counterpart to. I am honestly hoping there is at least one or two more suvivors in the adult timeline. I also think the reason Misty refuses to believe Walter actually loves her is because no one has loved her before. The one dude she had a crush on as a teen was gay and suicidal. She has no real friends. She is an outsider even in a group of homicidal cannibals. We saw her on an awkward date early in season 1. Her friendship with Natalie was incredibly one sided. Heck her best friend in season 1 was chained up in her basement. So Walter coming along pronouncing his love for her must be confusing for her.

I keep thinking about the old Addams Family TV show. The black and white one. I think it’s on YouTube these days. Anyway a “normal” person walks into the house and crazy begins to happen but Gomez and Morticia act like they always act and when the guests run screaming out of the house they think they are the best hosts ever. same general scenario. Guests come into Jill’s house and by the time they are running screaming out of the house Jill is convinced she has given them gods word.
