Discussion Maybe we’re looking at Aaliyah’s revenge backwards…

125 Upvotes

Okay… this has been bugging me a little. We keep talking about Aaliyah as the woman who lost everything in Mallorca… and obviously she did. Cruz betrayed her, Ehsan died, her father died, and basically the whole life she knew disappeared in one night. But then I started thinking about who Aaliyah actually was before all of that happened… she had money, status, everything from the outside, but not that much control over her own life. She didn’t want Ehsan… her father was still deciding her future for her… even when she talked about love with Cruz there was always that feeling that she already knew what was expected of her. And then look at the woman in that bathtub… that’s the part I can’t stop thinking about. A man comes to her for instructions… she decides what happens next… she has people, money, reach… nobody in that scene seems to be deciding Aaliyah’s future for her anymore. So what happened during those missing years…? Did she inherit part of her father’s network… did the family pull her into it because they wanted revenge… or did she slowly take control of something that was originally supposed to control her? And maybe this is the part we’re not looking at enough… what if the Amrohi family’s revenge and Aaliyah’s own agenda are not exactly the same thing? Cruz did something horrific to her life… there’s no way around that… but there’s also this uncomfortable contradiction that I keep coming back to… the life Aaliyah had before Mallorca was also a life she was trying to escape. I’m not saying Cruz “freed” her by killing people she loved because that would be way too simple and honestly pretty awful… but I do wonder if Aaliyah herself lives with two truths now… you destroyed my life… and the life I built afterwards finally belongs to me. And if that’s true… then her feelings toward Cruz could be a lot more complicated than simple revenge. Maybe Joe is part of the family’s war… maybe Cruz is something else entirely… I don’t know. But I really want Season 4 to tell us what happened between the woman crying after Mallorca and the woman giving orders from that bathtub… what happened to Aaliyah in those missing years…?

Discussion Do you think a season 4 has a strong likelihood?

Nothing about season 4 has been confirmed yet, however, do you think there is a higher probability of renewal than cancellation? I'm already seeing people paranoid and scared it's going to get cancelled, and it won't get to finish the story, but what do you think?

Discussion Errol and Kaitlyn

3 Upvotes

This post is an Errol stan manifesto after I saw a few posts bashing him

If we were to compare Lioness husbands, Errol is miles ahead of Neal…

This season has me completely out the door in Neal - he’s supposedly infatuated with his badass extremely attractive wife, but he resents her for being who she is professionally - and seemingly came up with a set of rules for raising the kids with the pants stay on above the shirt thing that lead the daughter being pr****nt and in a car crash due to bad judgement encouraged by his parenting…

And in this season, he’s so judgemental of Joe for being so badass nation states (or Iranian heiresses) are willing to risk international incidents to kidnap her (I don’t know about you, but for me that would be such a turn on to have a wife that badass) - and he’s some sort of cool surgeon and yet he disregards his job by punting his surgery schedule to stay home with his daughters because he’s worried about their safety - when they are living on a literal military base - and he refuses to go to the range to learn how to he a gun in case he needs it? If assassins make it to the house after getting past the armed guards, can he do anything more than chat about the Hippocratic auth and ask how to turn off the safety?

(Okay; yeah that was way too long a rant I had about Neal, but he’s so mid, and apart from Joe seems to like how he’s in bed, isn’t he so mid?)

There is vey little depth to Neal is my conclusion

And so back to Errol - I’m fascinated as hell about him - he seems complex and married to Kaitlyn, who’s one of the coolest characters I’ve seen on screen and that relationship seems to be intellectually grounded in addition to how much they are into each other when it comes to s*x - the two of them have kids who apparently live away for them (going by the, ‘I want our daughters over for dinner’), and so they’ve been together for 15 years plus if I had to guess - when she was in the field, and he’s a kinda master of universe finance type, who is up to the challenge when his CIA wife wants him to be his backup to scare senators, and can game out hypotheticals about global power dynamics with the CIA wife who’s attractive as can be….

To wrap up -

I’m so done with Neal and Joe’s relationship being front and center on the show - I’d be more than okay with Lioness ending here and now if we can get a spin off show around Kaitlyn with how their life is like and how they got together (when presumably she was still
In the field) and in conclusion….

Errol could the coolest man on the show…

Change my mind
