I think the writers are illustrating that the "non-intervention" policy is bunk. We see Kusimayu initially loving her animals. After she joins, she callously lets the goat escape from the pen despite the goat appearing to be attached to her. She just condemned that goat to a brutal death in the Peruvian wilderness despite their "no harm" policy. I think it's less a plot hole and more of an exploration of the validity of the plurbs philosophy.
I've been absolutely loving how polarizing this show is.
Honestly I think it's going to reignite the prestige TV struggle sessions. UlyssesT may make a comeback to make a bunch of condescending posts with way too many emojis.
Jerk aside, I do find the discussion of the show more interesting than the show itself. I think the show itself is kind of mid but it sparks some interesting discussion if nothing else.
I'm licking my pen, ready to sign my UlyT apology form. Who knows, S2 of plurb may not come for a year or so, if at all, by which time I doubt I'll br able to muster the enthusiasm :/
lol funny, all the plurbposting here had me thinking about UT and what he'd say bout it.oddly my gut says like he'd be ambivalent about it so it wouldn't generate one of those really
rants i miss about him
His hate boner for Breaker Bad was too strong, there is no way he could resist the urge to shit on Gilligan's latest creation. The guy's entire lodestar was that overproduced cynical TV was the nexus of all modern society's woes.
i definitely feel ya and am likely wrong. he hated that space game for years and was never short on energy for hatin'. dunno why i feel like i do. luckily it don't matter lol
For me the thing that annoyed me about him was he never seemed to talk about anything BUT his hot takes on media. Real shit would be happening in the world and yet hours upon hours of his waking life were spent having conniptions about fucking Game of Thrones.
Motherfucker I'll take the world's biggest GoT nerd who does legit activism against the genocide in Palestine over the world's greatest Crusader against media with problematic themes.
