742695, there's bigger people and things to unpack, but...Naomi is driving me nuts
Posted by shamus, Sun Nov-28-21 10:44 PM
I've never been a big Naomi fan, even in Season 2, but I'm baffled at how much they've whittled away her character. In Season 3 she's an airhead who can't form complete sentences, whereas in Season 2, she was a well-educated, thoughtful person who was also a tortured soul. I have difficulty paying attention to whatever Kendall is doing in scenes with her because I'm too focused on seeing whether the writers will actually give her a complete thought this time. And they never do. It's incredibly irritating.

Kendall losing his mind over the lost gift (in addition to everything else), stopping short after saying "I wish I was--", shortly followed by a shot of him looking over the balcony at none other but The Vessel...shit. A clever and heartbreaking choice by the...cinematographers? Editors? I don't know, but that was brutal. We'll see if anything comes of it.

I was never someone who rooted for or cared about Roman in any way, even in his partnership with Gerri, and I'm so glad. I hate him and all his garbage business that he conducts with reprehensible men in bathrooms.

Finally, I don't even know where to start with the party decor and entertainment. From the prep scenes to execution, I really wished I counted the number of times I gasped. I did genuinely love the Compliment Tunnel though.
