This is the Marvel Society, everyone needs something to happen at all times. White Lotus is structured like an 8 hour movie. If there is a climax at the end of each episode, it would be just be Lost or 24.

I've been seeing general online murmurs that this season is too slow; I do think there's a lot less incident than previous seasons, the characters are a lot more in limbo than previous seasons. But it feels like it's by design, and Mike White's writing with such assurance that I haven't minded.

There was some rotten listicle I got sucked into off the headline "10 things wrong with this season of White Lotus," or whatever, and I stopped at "We don't get to see Fabian's song;" the author felt ripped off that we get several episodes of Fabian fretting over the idea of taking the spotlight, then we don't even get to see if he's good. But that seemed wholly intentional; all this buildup and the show casually cuts to the girls' trip trio bickering. It ruled. It rules.

Funny enough, I often find the foreshadowed violence to be a silly red herring, like one-armed Crispin Glover in Hot Tub Time Machine; there's some extent to which we're being had, and the violence is dangled before us. My only real guess as to what'll happen in the finale is each gunshot is from a separate confrontation/incident, and the body count will be rather low.

Agreed, and many were
probably frustrated with the lack of violent resolution with Goggins' character in his confrontation, but I felt that was character growth and not just violence for the sake of violence
. I'm sure there's someone complaining about that somewhere.

My theory is that either the dad is going to put the poison fruit in his sons smoothie or the raid in the into of E1 is for the Russians
