Conrad Fisher with a Camera. Imagination runs wild.

Have more thoughts on finale that was absolutely perfection. 3 seasons and a movie. Chat, we won.

This show, more than any in recent memory, has really gone all in on the nerdy husband. Yes, we know that Conrad's a jock in S1, but by S3, we get the full scope of his LOTR-subreddit moderating, stamp-collecting nerdy ass. If any men are wondering what women want, it's all on display in Conrad Fisher. We don't want a gym dude benching 300 pounds; we're feral for coastal-Dad Conrad, his slutty little watch, his dish-drying hands, his oh-so-observant and responsible yet kind soul. And whether Jeremiah intended to or not, it was a hilariously stupid decision to let your OLDER BROTHER, who was in love with your girlfriend, be in husband cosplay for an ENTIRE SUMMER.

The Susanna FLASHBACK!! So important, because Belly's reflecting on her death and how her death is the catalyst that started all of the drama for Belly for the last 5 years. It was Susanna's death that made it impossible to be with Conrad, but also made it a reason for her to cling to Jeremiah as a life raft. And I love that Susanna says to her, "You're a girl who knows her own heart," after Young Belly rejects Susanna's plans to go to Italy for the summer because "I want to swim here, with you, and PEOPLE (people being Conrad ofc)." That to me is a Belly's subconscious surfacing a memory of her as a child, always choosing Conrad and having him in her heart. Idk, I think this show has a lot of subtext and people want like super on-the-nose writing where Belly's like bellowing Conrad's name out at Sacre Coeur or some ish and frankly...that's a different show.
