Meanwhile, Vivian...

[spellgabbana]

her and rosie!!

[squirrels_oh_no]

At least Rosie has had some appearances, Vivian has just been completely MIA.

[spellgabbana]

if laura was only guest starring, they shouldn't have set it up like she'd be around.

[squirrels_oh_no]

On Reddit, they seem to think maybe she's already been written out, which like... I don't care for Vivian because she doesn't have much personality tbh, but why even introduce her as a wrench in the throuple if you're just going to ignore she exists?

[spellgabbana]

that wouldn't surprise me, but yeah, i expected she was going to be in at least two or three more episodes. maybe on the back half? not that she feels necessary now.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I didn't even check to see if she was in the preview LOL.

But episode 7 being called Oh Daddy! puts episode 8's context in a new perspective for sure LMAO. But what the fuck, the biggest twist of the episode was in the preview for the next episode. I will say this - if they openly put that massive twist in the PREVIEW, the actual episode will be 10000% more insane, especially since it is a fall finale.

HA i didn't think about that. but like if most of these cruises, in the timeline of the show, are a week or even days apart... the preview makes NO sense. [Spoiler (click to open)]i'm already guessing false positive and i hate how frequent those are in tv shows, especially a medical drama?! but it'd be kind of funny if she was like "no, of course it's not either of you for obvious reasons..." and it's some like random hookup she had during early days that they didn't show? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THIS SHOW. but i'm sure they'll leave it as some cliff hanger and come back in march like just kidding, moving on.

It's a dream baby!

But girl, you are on a ship that runs rampant weekly with STIs and you're fucking around without condoms?!

This cruise ship exists in a fantasy land because the company would not just park the ship for days while the crew went to a hotel and watched Archer - they'd dump everyone off at 8 AM, load up a new ship full of passengers and food and supplies and gas and new crew, and be pulling out again by 4 PM. And that ship would not have an MRI or CT scanner or whatever they have. The ship I spent time in the medical center on had a really ancient-looking x-ray machine and that was it, and that ship wasn't a tiny one (my cruise had about 2500 passengers + 900 crew). Luckily I didn't need an x-ray, but I did get two IV drips and nothing in there was fancy. The urgent care center in the strip mall next to Walmart has nicer equipment.

And they're all about "seeing the world" when that ship legit only goes to the Mexican Pacific coast. And tbh they only go to the same exact fucking beach in Malibu every time, it just gets decorated differently.

But let's be real, we're not here for the reality, we're here for the drama, and the fact that the show gave us a GLIMPSE at a throuple and then acknowledged that yes, they wanted you to think throuple and not random threesome, was a big step forward for EPISODE 6/7! Most shows would wait until season 5 for even a kiss, but they were making out episode 1! Except Max and Tristan, and the show owes us that stat.

[spellgabbana]

dream within a dream!

i will die if they didn't use condoms but also if they actually acknowledge what transpired during said threesome, i will also die.

we're definitely not here for the reality of anything. my mom hilariously asked "you think there will be a week when not crazy medical emergency happens?" knowing that's obviously a no and the drama of that is needed to fuel the drama of everything else, as we saw this week!

agreed! i felt that immediate feeling of NO, WHY DID IT HAPPEN LIKE THIS but watching it a second time, i also get that they're trying to go into it slowly. i don't think they're throuple-baiting, they're just only 6/7 episodes in! and it makes all the sense that two men in the scenario are emotionally conflicted and need the time and space to deconstruct and unpack it all.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I wonder how many seasons they really think they can draw this out LMAO because they are throwing like 5 cases into every episode and by season 5 they will end up with a fish stuck up a penis at this rate because they're running out of ideas.

Writers, if you put a fish up a penis in an episode, I demand payment for you stealing my idea. Or you can hire me. Let me come up with ridiculous shit with you, and I bring the experience of having actually seen ridiculous shit on real cruises.

[spellgabbana]

they're already running over things i've seen in other shows, i called the brewery thing as soon as they were at the table at dinner! but hell, grey's anatomy and chicago med are still finding things to put in their shows every single weeks for YEARS. i don't know if i expect this one to get that much but if we can get three seasons, i'd be happily surprised. more than that is all bonus forever.

[squirrels_oh_no]

But man, having a baby (scare?) on episode 8 of the first season is just WILD to me. This show has sped up the general progression of network dramas massively.

I can't wait for them to get boarded by pirates. Preferably on Pirate Week so the ship is filled with people in pirate costumes.

[spellgabbana]

right? i did NOT see that coming at all.

lmao okay, i really hope that happens. i'm very curious in general about the themes for the back half of the season.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Oh, and they need to have a shipwrecked episode. IDK how, but like, stick them on that beach in a lifeboat. Just rip off the plot of Triangle of Sadness tbh. They almost went there with Wellness Week.

and tbh Triangle of Sadness gets luxury cruising far more correct than Doctor Odyssey. The Odyssey is like some weird hybrid of a yacht and Carnival and that just doesn't make a lot of sense to me LMAO. Rich people don't want a cruise with slides, and people who want to fight go on Carnival.

Also, what are they going to do about Avery wanting to go to medical school? She's been approved, yeah, but like... They're not gonna write her off, are they? Unless they want to just say byeeee and kick her out of the throuple to become a hot gay couple idk. Also baby. Also cruise lines don't let pregnant women over like 25 weeks on a cruise because they're not equipped for births (also no babies under 6 months), but I guess in FantasyLand, rules like that don't apply.

Or, idk, they can also rip off Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.
