In honor of that thrilling finale for ‘The White Lotus’, here’s another look at a shirtless Patrick Schwarzenegger, who actually kept his clothes on in this episode. They so rarely make finales that live up to a season’s worth of suspense, and this one delivered (in my fully-capable-of-suspending-disbelief-in-the-name-of-fun-drama view). Last season’s was nowhere nearly coherent and powerful – and the speech by Carrie Coon’s character was devastating in a way that my almost-5o-year-old self took directly to heart. More on that in another post, because it deserves much more.
It definitely got me thinking about time, not that I needed any additional incentive for that, aforementioned birthday and other significant milestones all on the near horizon. But for now, the superficial beauty of a young man who just made a splash in one of the most talked about television experiences we’ve had – and in a world exploding with malice and increasingly-awful behavior, that’s quite an accomplishment.
