S01.E06: Code Red


Lady Calypso

Well.

If this episode's purpose was to make me hate Coach even more? Job well done. If this episode was trying to make us get all up in our feelz for how bad she's got it, yeah, no. Hard no. She has a loving, supportive husband, a beautiful daughter, a lovely home, her boring ass sidepiece, Addy waiting in line, and her cheer squad she's rapidly molding into little monsters just like her. What more does she want?

This show's gonna have to do a lot better in showing us why Coach is so miserable, instead of just telling us, if they want me to buy it.

If the "he" in Lighter Lady's "He aint worth it" was Will, that's correct. If the "he" was Mr. Coach, it's the opposite. She's not worth it.  

It's a sad commentary on this show that no one seems to value Mr. Coach.

Question:  How did Will know what the other Marine did at the party? He wasn't there, as I recall.

They're promising a death and I think Collette Is a prime candidate. Beth detests her,  and I can see her husband, or one of her two side pieces killing her in a rage.  I haven't read the book this Is based on so I'm anxious to see who it is. And again I have no sympathy for her

I agree. Hard to imagine her continuing her self destructive ways without suffering consequences. 

This was a step back from last episode. I was hoping for better.

I don't expect the show to have a military adviser, but the depiction of the Marines is ridiculous. The terms Marine and soldier are not interchangeable. This crew is sloppy AF. (Will's hair is long enough to fall into his eyes.) And recruiters don't spend their time just hanging out in high schools gawking at teen girls.

I never would have guessed that Beth would become the most sympathetic character.

Not gonna lie, I'd love it if it were Coach. I wouldn't be surprised if it were her husband who'd do it, but I"d hate that. As cynical as this show is, they seem to want to pound it into our heads that there are no good people.

The hair alone would propel my retired Navy dad into an epic conniption, never mind everything else. Everything else would give him apoplexy. And, yes, the recruiters just hanging out in the school hallways for days on end, especially in what we're told is a podunk town with a barely there population is ridiculous. That's a lot of man hours wasted on one now ambivalent football player.

Agree.  I still don't like her, but she really is the most sympathetic, and it's because we've been shown why she's so miserable.  Coach, not so much.

Like you said this show has been saying there aren't any good characters. And truthfully I've been expecting the show to show Mr Coach isnt that great of a person either. Like I figured they would show he was abusive or something to help explain why Collete feels "Trapped". This also leads into why theyve only shown Collette as the bad one in the relationship. I won't be surprised if the infidelity is exposed then Mr Coach flies into a rage and kills her OR its leading to She dumps Will then he does it OR maybe Addy does it

I’ve been wondering, is this really a thing? For marines, or any type of soldiers, to hang around at a high school all the time for what seems to be months, partying with high school kids, giving them the hard sell on joining up? It’s one thing to be at the occasional career fair, but they seem to be spending a lot of time pressuring that one kid. Do they really do that? Are they that desperate for recruits? Is that really a thing on any level?
