Theres something missing fromThe White LotusSeason 3.
Jennifer Coolidge, obviously, is missing, but Im trying to hit at something else.
HBO
Bear with me a moment as I have a go at figure it out.
Is it missing interesting, conflicted characters?
No, theres plenty of interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict.
Is it subversive queerness?
Is it perhaps missing an anthropological thesis about the solipsism of American tourists while visiting developing nations?
Wow, I even bored myself with that sentence.
That word is ringing a bell.
Oh, of course!
Now I remember what the show is missing: Anything interesting!
Theres no overarching narrative momentum or all-consuming sense of tension.
Might as well be us.
She is finally happy.
Not one glimpse at IMDB.
Not even a cursory Google search for a Wikipedia page.
She just immediately believes them and displays zero natural curiosity about their respective filmographies.
Then, true to her character, she smacks her forehead and says, Doh!
This can be a mid-credits scene.
With one episode to go, we have seen absolutely nothing interesting of the sort.
In fact, looks like this storyline is just … an extremely slow-burn romance.
Yall, we need to spice this up!
Then she shoots all three Russians in their foreheads and kisses a now sexually-confused Gaitok full on the mouth.
Feeling nothing, they conclude that theyre both straight and part ways.
It becomes a Billboard-topping megahit and Fabian is invited to tour with Sara Bareilles.
Also, Belinda is one of the few charactersworth rooting for!
If any of our unhinged predictions come true, let it be this one.
Oh, and it should end in her getting married to Pornchai.
That would be a Season 3 finale development worth waiting for.
Well just have to wait until Sunday to see what happens.
