When did Sandra and Jodie unfollow each other on instagram?
Wow, they seriously did that to each other? I wonder what caused something like that to happen??
:blinkwide:
I think it would be interesting to know who did it first, I follow both and didn't notice it. Jodie is well know to unfollow people, I was actually surprised Sandra survived the purge since they don't seem to be close.
Shitty end for the series, shitty end for co-stars, that's sad.
DA as recently as this June Sandra posted a photo of Jodie to congratulate her for her Tony win. I could swear they were still following each other a few weeks ago. Sandra is currently following only 3 people so I think the mass unfollowing happened on her end and my guess is Jodie either unfollowed when she noticed Sandra stopped following her or instagram glitched and removed her from Sandra's followers.
5 days ago? :hmmm:
That's just sad :sadangel:

It's okay to bury gay characters, just not all of them, and providing it's well written and there's power behind their demise Otherwise it seems phony and contrived to keep them protected, like in The Boys, a disgusting show where they not only find fake ways to keep LGBT characters alive but which caters to the depraved superhero sexual fantasies of its gay male writers. I don't think Jodie or Sandra would ever want to come back to KE for a prequel series or whatever given how bad it got with each new season.

There are rumours that it was Sandra’s call to avoid sex scenes. She literally vetoed it. The shitty finale was due to covid, they had to suddenly cut everything off cause S and J had work plans.
If it's true then she vetoed every sex scene her character would take part in. KE gave us pretty graphic het sex scenes in previous seasons (except for the third) but thankfully they didn't go there with E and Y. And if I have to thank Sandra Oh for this, well... Thank you, Sandra. I would have been even more furious than I was if they topped that shitty season forcing me to watch E screw a character that could have been easily replaced by a dildo and a computer.

Maybe Phoebe left because she already told story she wanted to tell in S1? IDK. Maybe she thought she was leaving the show in good hands and thought it was in bad taste to swoop in back to “save the day”?

Season 4 isn't so bad in bullet points:

- Eve embracing her 'dark side' and going rogue
- Villanelle seeking redemption
- Both failing, initially, in what they intended to do
- New characters to act as foils for our existing characters
- Villaneve together being a chaotic, toxic mess
- Villaneve working together, finally acknowledging their feelings and acting on it
- Carolyn's betrayal
- Eve succeeds in taking down/chipping off The Twelve
- Villanelle gets her redemption and dies

These were story beats fans were expecting and are actually ok with. Cliché yet still digestible. But damn, did they fuck up the presentation!
Yup. Execution execution execution. It matters. A lot. In retrospect Phoebe stepping back was the worst thing that could've happened to the franchise. In her hands Villanelle's death would have been still shocking but acceptable to the fans, who knew from the beginning it was a distinct possibility.

Does anyone know why Phoebe left and stopped inputing? Even if she stopped writing for it, she could've still pitched her ideas and left suggestions but it's my understanding she had nothing to do with subsequent seasons, not even just plot points.

You remember when you’d be at a mate’s house when you were super young, and you’d be six hours into some enormous epic roleplay story you’d concocted with your toys? And then your parents would yell “we’re leaving NOW” up the stairs so you’d have thirty seconds to end everything which would usually be some form of “and then they got married and the baddie died the end” before you had to leave?

Feels like that with the KE finale except the writer was a sadist.
Yep
To me, S4 feels like some other kids came in, interrupted the epic role play game and then proceeded to create their own shitty version of the story which pretty much ruined the game for everyone else :bigcry:

By shitty finale do you mean Villanelle dying on the boat or the whole final episode?

I mean, we already knew that COVID took the opportunity of a fifth season and that changed things, but COVID is no excuse for that particular ending, they could have done literally anything else.
Da
At most they had to adjust and change locations but the whole arc-storyline was set on stone.
Villanelle was going to die per the interviews we got.
Ugh covid should have made them cancel s4 :rofl:
Why couldn’t they leave it open ended though. I swear, the only thing missing is Villanelle getting eaten by a shark to truly hammer down that she’s dead.

lbr there was no thought of a Villaneve sex scene so the most she could've vetoed was some het action with Y, of which I think there was a bit of something but didn't make the cut into the episode. And I say this while being someone who is a fan of both Sandra and Jodie but who doesn't idolize so I think they agreed with whatever, especially Sandra seemed pretty on board with the bad ending. Also, there would not have been anything significant cause of the rating and all but of course there could have been more than enough to show that intimacy. Sally was desperate to avoid any gay displays like that

As If I would ever believe Laura Neal and company would think or write a sex scene.
Anyway Nothing could save have S4 not even a sex scene.

Yes. Sort by kudos to get the most popular. But if you like this forum, seek out the works of seabiscuit, spayne, coldmackerel, lisraels and justyourunderstudy. Their fics often get rec'd here and have amazing characterizations.

Who cares about physics when everything else is a mess, right? - the writers, probably.
LN only cared about the religious imagery of the bloody angel wings underwater. Her own shitty agenda and creative ‘vision’ is the only reason Villanelle and Eve were in the water and all know they would have run inside the boat to avoid the gun shots instead of jumping into the freezing cold water. The fact that Villanelle was unarmed is the biggest joke of all.
Lol for real? I guess bloody symbolism on snow was already taken :unsure: Writers should stop it with that shit. It was great that one time on Game of Thrones but now its just cringe.
Yeah but what made this worse is that it ended up being another BYG trope and from a show like KE which was so unique and promising, it felt like a betrayal
Religious imagery shtick was stupid enough after a point and very forced but what's really baffling is Laura Neal and Sally Gentle(to me she's the most guilty party here and the way she came across in interviews was always a red flag) really were so up their own asses and so concerned with not doing romance as if romance was cheap(and worse when gay ofc) ,they really 100% thought they were being clever and cleverly subversive doing a last season like this, keeping Villaneve apart, avoiding any romantic development til the last 20 minutes, focusing on other plot points and characters that were never supposed to be what drives the story and ending it by virtually sentencing Villanelle to death as if KE was an educational documentary about discouraging kids to choose the paid assassin path in life. Even with all the double standards in judging male vs female characters and het romance compared to gay romance, it's mind boggling that neither Laura nor Sally realized that this is all horrible story telling, horrible ending and no one would even love to hate it, they'd just straight up hate it.

KE was in itself a subversive story about two women who've been conditioned by their circumstances, society and so on into certain roles, thus both ending up living lives they were told they should be happy with and that that's all they can expect to have anyway, meeting and through this complex attraction and pull, finding the clarity, the push, the itch to break out of their lives in pursuit of all that they really are, want and can be, regardless of what everyone else expects of them. It was also about 2 people who don't really fit social norms in certain ways, finding true understanding, acceptance and belonging together, despite the world telling them they can't have that. And on a superficial level is about women daring to be a little mean to achieve their objectives, to put themselves first and succeeding at it not getting punished by the showrunner God for it. S4 actually went against the spirit of this show. How LN and Sally didn't see this is beyond me, they're not actually dumb as rocks. The arrogance and sense of superiority, of downright wanting to be cruel towards fans must have been on fantastic levels
I completely agree. They clearly couldn’t (or didn’t want to) understand the complexity of Villanelle and Eve’s relationship and were downright arrogant and delusional to think that anyone would care more about the development of the side characters than the two main characters of the show. They were so out of touch with what made KE successful in the first two seasons and basically ignored everything that had been cleverly set up by PWB and Emerald. They obviously had their own agenda but not sure if I agree that they deliberately wanted to be cruel to the fans. If anything, they weren’t thinking about the fans at all which is cruel in itself. They basically disregarded the romantic aspect of the relationship until they could use it in the finale as a way of making Villanelles death more tragic. The fact that they tried to play it off as Villanelle being a vehicle for Eve’s rebirth is the biggest pile of shit ever.

And on a superficial level is about women daring to be a little mean to achieve their objectives, to put themselves first and succeeding at it not getting punished by the showrunner God for it. S4 actually went against the spirit of this show. How LN and Sally didn't see this is beyond me, they're not actually dumb as rocks. The arrogance and sense of superiority, of downright wanting to be cruel towards fans must have been on fantastic levels

S1 Villanelle survived a stab wound walking and bleeding all over Paris… S4 Villanelle gets knocked out by a single arrow to the back and then ultimately dies by underwater gunshots :fool:

Who cares about physics when everything else is a mess, right? - the writers, probably.
LN only cared about the religious imagery of the bloody angel wings underwater. Her own shitty agenda and creative ‘vision’ is the only reason Villanelle and Eve were in the water and all know they would have run inside the boat to avoid the gun shots instead of jumping into the freezing cold water. The fact that Villanelle was unarmed is the biggest joke of all.
Lol for real? I guess bloody symbolism on snow was already taken :unsure: Writers should stop it with that shit. It was great that one time on Game of Thrones but now its just cringe.
Yeah but what made this worse is that it ended up being another BYG trope and from a show like KE which was so unique and promising, it felt like a betrayal

writers were idiots and/or homophobes in denial
Imagine if Phoebe or Emerald had written the last two seasons. Eve and Villanelle would've had sex in S3 for sure and continued their sexy cat and mouse game with no bullshit redemption arc or Nico crap

I still don't understand why Eve got Villanelle arrested? When she said "I should've done this when we first met" Eve had so many opportunities to turn Villanelle in. Her explanation of "I thought it would be good for me" doesn't make sense? If she just wanted V out of the way to focus on the mission then they should've shown V actively becoming a distraction but all she did was turn up at the hotel asking for help. I don't buy that Eve actually gave a shit about the ppl she killed or the fact that she had broken into Martins house. V was mostly in the background and knew nothing about the Helene stuff at that point so there was no real reason to get rid of her. Can anyone else explain or is there no point in analysing shit writing?

We weren't shown a decent talk between them because the writers couldn't write for shit 😂 s4 still had so many top-tier scenes imo, but all of them were pretty much improvised and/or were so great thanks to body language and chemistry. Or maybe they weren't meant to be exes in the script but they acted like that anyway for shits and giggles.
I see this term thrown around so often and I’m like OK, but none of what is presumed to be improvisation in S4 is really what you’re thinking. I see it being brought up as if to say the kiss in the finale happened out of nowhere and it was just Jodie and Sandra’s pure brilliance coming up with it on the spot. Which, no… They didn’t just rebel from the script and do whatever they liked in some scenes as much as people like to pretend they did. But honestly I agree, it’s down to their chemistry that made the scenes enjoyable, even if on paper the writing makes little sense.
