Totally because you've read the book. If you could just watch the series for the series, you'd have a different taiff and gun. And of course most characters are a hyped-up version of themselves.

Can we say there's no comparison and then just stop comparing?

But Perry's expression when Celestes breezily, beautifully, comes down the stairs and walks out the door to "have dinner with Jane" while brooding over his Kombucha?

Yes - I loved how she just didn't even pause to let him "approve" her going. I loved how she did that. It showed her regaining her power back, I hope.

I wanted to see Celeste reach out a to friend to tell about the abuse -- as the therapist recommended. Unless I missed this part?

I think she told the nanny or the nanny knows something. When they return from the ER and nanny says the boys are asleep, she looks scared, and Celeste has to reassure her it's ok to leave. And perry is rather rude to the nanny.

I think the awkwardness can be attributed to the broken-penis-caused-by-sex story they've told.. Hope no one makes jokes about it to Perry.

SERIOUSLY??????? Please, please, please, please stop comparing series to book. I have not read the book and made NO connection to high cliffs, guns, High bridges, etc and the murder (except for the obvious) but you specifically saying that this is foreshadowing now basically TOLD me that the murder involves these. STOP COMPARING BOOK TO SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus get over it. there was a lot of shit obvious just from the series already, I didn't read theverything book but if I were this obsessed with wanting to keep a well known ending secret I would take it on myself to stop reading shit.

Totally because you've read the book. If you could just watch the series for the series, you'd have a different take. The writer and director took the book as a base and totally HBO'd it: so the product is more intense in every sense--dangerously high bridges, water crashing on rocks, houses on water's edge, intense soundtrack, and that includes cliff and gun. And of course most characters are a hyped-up version of themselves.

Reese and Nicole optioned a great book and hired a great writer and director for the TV adaptation. HBO is the perfect platform. Can't we all just enjoy it?
Oh, and great episiode last night. I'm really looking forward to the finale.

No you didn't miss this. I was waiting for that too. I really thought she'd reach out to Jane - but only because of people on here talking about the book. honestly, I didn't like the way all of a sudden Celeste and Jane seem like besties. throughout the season, Maddie (Reece's character) seems like the go-between with celeste and Jane. Maddie is always on the phone filling Celeste in will all the happenings of Jane and the one talking to each of them individually. Then all of a sudden Celeste is telling Maddie that she'll talk to Jane as if they are good friends. It's just odd.

I haven't read the book, but from some of the others on here who gave some spoilers (inadvertently by comparing series to book) made a mention that in the book Celeste and jane spend a lot more time together, so I'm assuming that's why HBO has Celeste and Jane besties all of a sudden, but from someone who didn't read the book, it comes from out of nowhere.

Haven't noticed this. What kind of weird looks? Sexual? Annoyed?

I haven't either. Maybe I'm just glossing over it, but I don't think I even saw a scene with ed and Abigail at the dinner - just Maddie and Abigail.

Then you need to watch more GOTs.

I've seen every episode of GoT, some of them twice. Flaccid penis is different from a full erection in someone's hand.

It was some really effective imagery to go along with Celeste's explanation of her power struggle with Perry. As soon as he surprised her by coming home early, I knew he was going to keep her from going to the play.

He whipped out and was forcing her to touch it (just part of shaft visible)---Right before she hit it with the tennis racket and broke his urethra in 2 places (can that really happen?))..

Yes, please do tell!

Right before Perry had to be rushed to the hospital with a broken penis, he pulled it out on Celeste, a few seconds after he complimented her dress. You caught a large glimpse of it lol

Ah yes, I see it now! Not sure how I missed THAT the first time around...

May hope is, Zigg's mom will figure out Perry is the rapist, her & Celeste will push him off a cliff and Celeste will claim he jumped because suicidal over her leaving him.

Was there any context to having the racket so handily near in their dressing room? I just felt it came (oddly) out of nowhere.

I like it

Ok but is it trendy, hot, techy, California, Scott's personal hair choice or something he needed for his next role? It's so off-putting to me but I feel I must be missing the reason or point of the beard.
