Lovecraft Country Episode 5 Review - This Episode Was All Over The Place

00:03:33 power i. i feel like i feel like with uh

and now it is love craft country time. me and larry love this show every show

feels like a finale. we're talking about episode five larry

give me your rundown. lovecraft country episode five and are

you gonna explicitly talk about your. love for

juicy smiley sister

man journey his journey is is getting it. in this season man i'll tell you

this this episode had me with all kinds. of

just mixed feelings i don't know i was i. don't know how i felt coming out of this

show boy. because man it was i mean

first you had first you had that at that. scene where

you know where atticus rolls up in there. and just beats the holy hell up out of

his pops i mean was just. was putting it in on him but you see

that you seen that coming. i did but then but you could see that

that letty was afraid of him too. because when letty walked downstairs

when she went when he went to her dark. room looking through her photos

if you saw she had a baseball bat in her. hand yeah

she was like she was she went down there. thinking i might have to swing on this

fool. you know she didn't go down there

thinking oh this is a dude that i'm into. and he's into me this she went down

there thinking like. i might have to go defend myself you

know. so i don't i mean i had all kinds of

feelings about this episode. i mean it's i feel like i need to watch

it again. i mean i feel also i mean i felt all

kinds of ways about seeing that the. whole thing with i mean we finally had

it confirmed we've been talking about it. for a while about whether or not

um you know the white blonde chick was. the same as the dude

and we had that confirmed that that. they're the same person

i told you you know we we said that on. the

second episode review that they was. winning the same we said

it we said it right here you you said it. we said it we talked about it we said it

could be the same person you were the. first one that said it so

you know you were right and and we had. that confirmation

i think that i felt some sort of way i. wasn't sure you know

i understand where that you know you. give him this you give her that

that uh you know that that serum and. then she get that potion whatever it is

and she can turn into a white lady

i mean it just there's so many different. feelings about that as a black person

like how. i mean i get it on some levels like if

you could do it. okay you do it because i mean i mean i

have to admit if i could change. into something else it would be it would

be. entertaining just to see how your life

would be different and how things would. be different in that moment like if i

could change myself. into a white man or a woman or a or a

dog. or a or a dragon sure i'd do it if i

could switch back. you know so i don't necessarily really

want to stay that way. but you want to be a shape shifter if

you have mutant powers. you would use them to be shape-shifting

yeah that would be i mean it would be. it would give you definitely would give

you more perspective. on how other people are you know if

you're a man and you never understood. what it feels like for a woman to work

in a place around a bunch of men. or what it may feel like as a woman to

have to walk down the street by yourself. at night

you will get a different perspective you. know if you're black and you've never

known what it feels like to be. in a white world or if you're white

you've never known what it's like to be. in a black world it will give you some

perspective and so. it could be interesting to have that

with uh what's her name um with letty's. sister

um i'm blanking on her name. whatever letty's sister whatever her

name is um. i just felt like she started to get a

little persnippity with it when she was. when she was talking to the black woman

and she was angry because. she didn't have but a seventh grade

education and. and you know she didn't you know she

wasn't particularly. good at anything she just got the job

because she was probably because she was. she was skinny and she was pretty and

maybe it looked like that that manager. at some point want to try

and get at her because we saw him have. you know she was hemmed up in the alley

behind that behind that club and dude. was all up in her trying to get at her

so. you know i think he was just thinking

i'll hire her and eventually i'll be. able to get at her

but i felt like even the way she treated. her when she had that little bit of

power over her just you know. was just a little bit wrong i think she

did right by her eventually but i felt. like she in her moment of anger she was

just wrong. considering how and i'm gonna have to go

back and watch. legitimately everybody you probably

could watch these. episodes two or three times to find

little things that you might have missed. little easter eggs you might have missed

there's a lot. there's a lot yes each uh like each one

of them feels like it could be a finale. and larry i want to ask you considering

this episode was all over the place i. mean they was

somewhere everywhere what do you think. was supposed to be in the essence

of this particular episode oh it was. definitely

it was definitely you know uh. you know the sort of uh uh

transformation. or metamorphosis you know the whole

thing of coming out and becoming who you. truly are

and you know and i think it was you know. like we saw that

we saw the scenes playing back and forth. with the whole metamorphosis between um

i can't i just can't remember her name. letty's sister we saw her

you know when they had her turn which. they had she she was a white woman and

then. and then she shed all that and she and

she became a black woman again and she. was

it seemed like she was um she had a. better sense of understanding of herself

in the world and was more confident and. and you know and then at the same time

we saw on the other side we saw. um we saw atticus's dad with the

with the drag queens and he finally. seemed like he was coming to terms

with what he is and who he is and. and ends in that in that in that sort of

crescendo where where he's kissing. you know that the the boy i don't know

if you want to call his boyfriend but. the guy that i guess he had been

interested in and had been. had been sneaking around with he finally

kisses him because at that one point. when they were in the

they were all backstage and they made. some comment

and one of the one of the drag queens. said said oh they hadn't even kissed yet

or something they hadn't even locked. lips yet or something like that

and so i think it was just sort of that. that

metamorphosis moment for both of them. where

you clearly had you know uh letty's. sister

shedding off all of that crap and being. the woman that she is

and him on the other end shedding off. all of the

all of his stuff about trying to hide. who he is and just openly kissing his

his his lover or his boyfriend or. whatever

and so it was it was an interesting. episode it wasn't the most

i didn't think that play right between. those two things was the most creative

it was very obvious. what it was what was going to happen i

mean i saw that a mile away so it wasn't. like it was the most creative but it was

still creative in the way they did it. and larry the sisters name is ruby ruby

right. so ruby when ruby was one thing i want

to know is is. does is ruby gay now

i i don't know i mean would you assume. she is

i mean she thought she was sleeping with. a dude and

she had a dude's body but. oh damn spilled my drink i guess that's

your answer. i guess so well

my man chris p wants to know and i don't. know if you know i couldn't tell either

after the scene where atticus beat up. the daddy

who was in the picture that okay yeah. yeah yeah

i want to know that too so anybody know. who atticus was complaining

who was in that picture atticus was. fussing that letty about please post

your comments. but for me the writing in this thing

has been great it's been great writing. and i feel like every episode um

could play on each other but they seem. like they're all still leading you

to a different place like i'm anxious to. see

how are they going to end this whole. entire thing

how are they going to end it larry how. are you curious about that too i have no

idea because. every time i think that they're like

every time i think that they're getting. to a certain point

they just they throw you through a new. loop

so i don't know i i ultimately i think. where they're gonna probably end up i

think it's gonna end up with a battle. between

atticus and uh what's her name christine. christie

white yeah christine break uh break. weight or something

so i think it's to end up with a battle. between them

um because i think atticus is going to. is going to uh decipher or decode the

book of adam. and he's going to end up with spells of

his own that he's able to use and he's. going to get

he's going to get a lot of power and i. think there may be some

there may be some conflict between him. and letty

when he gets that powerful and i don't. know maybe lady will have some of that

power too because if she you know if the. book is dakota and she's able to use

the the magic too then. all of a sudden now you're you're

looking at you're looking at two really. powerful people and if they go up

against her. you know i don't know i think that's

where it's probably going to end up is. where those two are going to end up

going. against um going up against what's her

name. um christine yeah because

because that's ultimately what she wants. she wants to see

she wants those that book decoded those. she wants the book of adam dakota the

language of adam decoded. and and she can't do it on her own

right so blowfly 3000 and i hope you're. talking about blowing the fly and not

the unzipper fly. has said he was looking for pictures of

the pages that montrose disposed of. okay right easy enough to follow i don't

know how we overlook that. um but again i'm gonna have to watch

this thing again. and she did she said you took pictures

of him so we know that. well we saw it later that's that he was

look like he was decoding them so. right right um man what what if they

made them team up larry. or what what if something some weird

mythical element happened to come up and. atticus

and christine had to team up for. something

could you see that in the writing by the. end of this season

no i could see it because it might be. almost that they're setting that up

because. we see that that uh i don't know if he

was a police officer or the sheriff that. do that

where um where ruby was hiding in his. closet with that dude that was all cut

up you know we saw that. that he that look i guess he was the

head of one of those lodges and i guess. he's trying to do some of his stuff so

we know something's gonna we know. something's gonna be up and so maybe

he's gonna be. in for a power grab and because

christy the christie doesn't have an. actual lodge i mean she's out there

doing her stuff on her own she just. happens to be smarter than everybody

else that's doing all the white people. she's smarter than all the white folks

and so. it just could be that they do have to

team up. so that they can defeat him and there's

something that's weird with him it look. it looks like his body like did you see

when he took his shirt off it almost. looked like he had a separate body from

his head. and i don't know like that dude that was

in the closet it was like you can see. where he was all cut up is like they had

looked like his face was cut his neck. was cut it almost looked like they were

like. using his skin as like a skin suit or

something for the other dude it was. weird i don't know what was up with that

but it was like. it almost looked like he had a separate

like his body was different from his. head

so hey. in order to watch this show you got to

give it full attention. you got to come with an open mind and

you've got to pay attention to detail. this is not the kind of show

where you can think you can just skip. out go get some popcorn be gone 30 40

seconds. and be able to keep up with everything

you can't do that with this show ladies. and gentlemen you got to sit there

in attention but it's very good um. i'm hearing the rumors that they are

going to have another season even though. it feels as though

you can contain this particular season. in itself i'm hearing that there's going

to be another season the rumblings are. already out there

would you be would you be cool is that. they i mean depending on depending on

where their mindset. is with this they could do this story

the same way they did like um. sort of like how they did um what's that

show. penny uh any dreadful penny dreadful

where you can have them just pay. basically like when they did that penny

dreadful the one where they moved to la. you could have one character that sort

of becomes like the linchpin. between the two stories but you just

move to an entirely different area. and have an entirely different cast with

a whole new set of stories. and it would work you know check this

out. my man blowfly 3000 is coming in here

hitting home runs. he said in the book christina will try

to merge. all the lodges together under one banner

which is basically what larry is saying. you can have a season with a banner

that's in like. the northern alps or whatever and she

can be the leader i mean i could see. this thing going five different ways

from sunday

who knows maybe what we'll see is. ramona will show up inside of of

lovecraft country as a political. operative

ladies and gentlemen we'll see maybe. we'll see letty

and and and ramona fighting over uh. atticus

ladies and gentlemen that is going to. conclude the review of lovecraft country
