So, I finally watched S3 and S4 of "Ozark." The very ending, last night. Some thoughts:

1. Season 3 was phenomenal. The writing, the characters, the plot evolution, everything.

2. S4 was also good.

3. But, as seems to happen with a great multi-year series, the ending wraps up way too quickly in relation to the previous 40+ episodes of stress-inducing drama.

The ending isn't nearly as sped up as GOT's ending was (worst ever in history for such a transcendent overall series) but in Ozark, the ending with Jonah has zero believability... and after all the years of Navarro Cartel drama, Camilla only needs 15 seconds randomly with Claire at a cocktail party to end Ruth's entire character? And I still have no idea how suddenly the family foundation went from its deathbed to being an overnight midwestern political powerhouse? That doesn't happen in real life, whatsoever.

Laura Linney's acting as Wendy... man, what a performance. I wanted to murder Wendy so badly, so many times. I so wish Marty had some balls. Jason did an amazing job with his character, as did Laura and all the others.

The funniest moment for me was when Wyatt told Ruth that Darlene wanted him to meet her mom! Ha! I spit out my Coke when he said that!

Overall, of course, fantastic show. But that ending... meh. C+.

Oh mama, you’re on your way! You’ve GOT to go take in Oregon! It’s such a hidden gem. Then Glacier in upper MT… Yellowstone is worth a week in WY… Utah speaks for itself… and Wisconsin’s Door County in the fall, with a visit in Milwaukee along the way!

@deborahlurie X needs a ❤️ x 10000000 button, for this!

This is a massive, massive paradigm shift for most. There are not just "locked-in laws" that enable you to predict every single thing. The underlying nature of life itself is that it creates brand new, totally unpredictable realities.

Order exists, but it is partly made. Therefore, we are participants rather than spectators, co-creators rather than controllers https://t.co/F5XxLo4aC9

@deborahlurie Maybe a much more succinct wording of it: We were told what to think, not taught TO think.

[EricPatrickMarr @EricPatrickMarr]

Oh em gee, exactly right. And for mmmmuch of my existence, I haven’t been able to figure out WHY.

My working theory is that it’s because most everyone raised in our western society was trained to obey, in some form of that concept or another. To put absolute trust in outside entities, over your own self.

As if outside entities are solid, in stone, in concrete, reliable, firm and true.

Versus…. recognizing that everything actually stems from us.

Western society has been sooooo embedded with even subtly religious undercurrents of “there are absolute rights and wrongs - and ‘we’ get to decide them for ‘you’” - that almost nobody is able to recognize that we are the ones actually creating our own realities and outcomes.

Following up (“notes from the shower”) this is why socio-political tones set by govts and media matter so much.

2020-2024 were all about mandates, censorship and cancel culture. Literally all the antitheses of “creating new knowledge.”

“Obey, or else” sets everything back to the dark ages.

[EricPatrickMarr @EricPatrickMarr]

“Create new knowledge” instead of “sharing existing knowledge.”

I’m 53 and I’ve yet to encounter one single entity that encourages this. Toyota sorta kinda allowed me to, a bit, back in ‘97, I guess.

Generalized U.S. society is light years away from this. I don’t think many can even imagine what it means to “create new knowledge.”

Dear Apple, your product designs are normally stellar. Love them. But lawd hammercy, your little TV remotes are the most overly sensitive devices known to humanity.
