In Defense of White Lotus Season 3...

It's so awesome that this good thing happened to her. And if good things happen to good people all the time, we would live in a much better society. But we don't. And that is a sad reality of the world. And I think that's interesting about Belinda. And then also, again, we see this moment where Belinda passes on the trauma that she felt from Tanya.

And what's so fascinating is that in this moment, you can tell that Belinda is almost insignificant. She's like, can I just be rich for five minutes? Like, I just need to figure this thing out, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yet you see the pain on the face of the man that she had met and even been intimate with.

and how much that deeply hurt him, and how he now has that exact same emotional turmoil that Belinda felt, yet to her it was almost insignificant, you know, just, again, like a passing thought. And I think that is, again, so interesting to her, and also this idea of sometimes how wealth corrupts people.

Wealth is, you know, what people who have it become so addicted to it and feel like they have to hold on to it, especially people like her who felt like they had to fight so hard for it, has made her completely... stepped away from the idea of sharing it ever and altogether.

And again, I don't think Belinda is like a bad person, but that was an interesting thing that I think happened with her character that I found very fascinating. And another theory I have is imagine if Belinda opens her own white Lotus spa, and that is the plot of another season. Like she has this $5 million that she then uses to,

to pay for the franchising fee and then opens her own White Lotus Spa. She can kind of take the role of what the hotel manager was in the second season. I think this would be such an interesting way to bring back so many characters. We could really explore Zion a lot more. We could explore any person from season one who was around that hotel in Hawaii.

And then another few like character dynamics I want to talk about before the end. I'll talk about Mook and Guy talk. First, I actually want to talk about Chelsea and Saxon.

Like she doesn't even see him as a real person, almost just kind of like an object or a joke. And he is so taken aback by this woman in like a very large age gap relationship, finding him pitiful in his eyes. He's like, I have everything a person should ever want. I'm wealthy. I went to.
