It turns out that tintagel is both the perfect and a rahr ominous place for The Buccaneers to let its nan/theo/guy love Triangle Play Out. Tintagel is steeped in love triangle lore-both the legend of King Arthur (Guinevere and Lancelot), which gets a show-out in “Holy Grail,” and the story of tristan and isolde (or yseult, if you’re so inclinehed), have ties to the place. AS OUR OF TINTAGEL POINTS OUT, NO ONE IN THE KING Arthur Legend ends up particularly happy, and if you know one thing about tristan and isolde, it is probably that they have deaths for their affair. SO, uh, there is certainly precedent pointing to our Main Love Triangle ending in tears. (If anyone spends time in the tristan and isolde grotto on the Proppery, we should be on alert.) Thankfully, The Buccaneers DOESN’t Exactly Scream this will all end in tragedy, gird your loinsbut this episode Certainly Leaves All Three of Our Lovers Feeling sorry for Themselves.

“You’re a sensation!” The dowager duches of Tintagel declales as nan and theo return from their Big Honemoon Tour Three Months after the wedding. And it is true, nan and theo rode all over the countryside Waving and smiling and winding up in bed together nightfoot after night. For all inters and purposes, it sura does seem like “a triumphant tour.” On top of the winning over the hearts of the and duchess’ people, nan also managed to keep herself and sometimes the headline news as to keep her sister as Safe as she can. Jinny is Yesterday’s News, Acciting to the Press. And and while Everything LOOOKS SUCCESSPUL AND NAN AND THEO SEEM AS HAPPY AS NEWLYWEDS COULD, The moment nan returns to tintagel, she walks into her bedroom, whips out guts shirt and hidden in her wardrobe, and sobs into on her bed. Have you ede live if you have have have left a Belonging of your ex’s tear-stained? SO, NAN IS NOWNE NOW OVER GUY, AND MAKING THINGS MORE AWKWARD, TheO can Hear His Wife’s Wails on the Other Side of the Door. “Think my wife is brocen-hearted,” he’ll lament late in the episode. Gutting and Complicated, if True. (It ‘Totally TRUE.)

Nan stuffing her her Feelings for Guy Deep Down so that she can look the part of the perfect duches Certainly Makes Complicated for Her Pal Lizzy, who has just reciped a letter from the one who used to start out. that contains His Location; He wants to give her the option to come Join Him in HIS and Jinny’s Hide Spot in a Small Italian Town. Like nan, guy is attempting to make the best of this life that isn’t exactly as he had dreamed. He is Completely in love with Jinny’s Baby, Freddie, and he knows he made the sacrifice he did Because he love nan. The Locale He’s Hold up in Isn’t Horrible, Eothher. He’s trying to make do. Things Wold Certainly Be EASIER IF NAN COULD RUN AWAY FROM TINTAGEL TO BE WITH HIM. They Could a Secret Life Together. It ‘all in his letter, and it is up to lizzy to decide or not to deliver it. Does let nan nan in her present life in iGnorance? That sura seames Easier. DOES LET NAN DECIDE ONCE AND FOR ALL BETWEEN GUY AND THEO AND WHAT EACH REPRESENTS? That seames much more fair.

When Lizzy Arriva at Tintagel for the Spring Gala to Open Up Parliament, she wants to suspends how he has a friend is feeling before she decisions. Personally, as someone who watches a lot of tv, Watching lizzy walk around this huge with the information about jinny that is working desperately to kep secre right there in her handbag stressed with the hell out. Nothing comes of it – seems like a missed opportunity – but i was yeeing about lizzy being a real dope over and over again and final decision. Voiced especally Anxious Once Lord Seadown Showed Up at the Party. IT MAKES SENSE WHY THIS WOUL THINK IT’S OKAY TO BE THERE: He Lacks Self-Awareness, he is a sociopathic narcissist, and he wants to threaten nan teling here. IT DOES NOT, Howver, Make MUCH SENSE WHY EVEREONE ELSE THINK IT IT SENSE FOR HIM TO BE THERE. The People Cheering Him on to Find HIS MAD WIFE while at Said Mad Wife’s Sister’s Home? Very rude. IT ALSO MAKES SENSE THAT THEO NEEDS TO BE DIMPLIFICED AS A, but he shoulded be more upset with seadown than he is – if not what he’s done to jinny, but for the way he and nan. Defend Your Woman, Dude!

Nan has to pretend to be fine with seadown’s appeaarans, too, but she’s able to iGnore Him at first. The Entertainment Portion of the Gathering is a King Arthur-Themmed Search for His Holy Grail. (Legend has it he was Born at Tintagel.) It’t’s’ actually just a dish for nuts, but the wealthy elite will will anything to pass the time. This is why golf was inventited. For Our Purposes, this hunt gits characters time to be alone with one another. Nan Catches Hector Robinson, the MP who has the hots for lizzy, Shaking Hands with Seadown. She taxi to task for mingling with such a piece of shit, but hector is attempting to get a bill that would let working men. They have a little chat about who does and does not have a voice in English Society, and when nan starts that he has no influenza, Hector has to remind her that she is a duches. She has more influence than she thinks.

It ‘s the Other Pairing of Holy Grail Hunters is more interesting, though: lizzy and theo wind up searching together. Their giggly Interaction Last Week As theo Pushhed Her Toward Making Friends With Hector and Their Flirting HERE DEFINITELY POINTS TO Something Brewing BetWeen These Two. Once theo is getting vulnerable about nan being unhappy and not knowing what to do to me, iT”s clear that the thrat is brewing is a whole bunch of messy romantic feedings. And once theo is affixing lizzy’s lost bracelet to her wrist while looking at her with those eyes? Oh baby, these two definitely smashing faces at some point in the near future.

All Four of Our Players Meet Up at the Tintagel Mausoleum. Hector and nan have uncovered the cherished nut Dish. Theo decides to take the Group on a Tour of the Ol ‘Family Tombo Room Below, Which, Yes, DOES INCLUDE The Plots for Both Him and Nan Nothing Screams Romance Showing A Woman Where Be Buried One Day. For nan, the look at her eternal resting place is a reminder that this life, this marriage she is fighting to make work is not a temporary thing. This is forever.

Lizzy has no choice but to confront nan about how she’s really feeing. Between nan and theo, She’s Getting Mixed Messages and There Letters to Be Possibly Delivered and Sad Boys Waiting in Italy Coastal Towns for Answers. She wants to know, really, if nan is happy. When Nan Responds with “What Does Happy Mean?” You know the Answer is no, not at all. But nan is overwhelmed by the whole tomb Thing, and she unleashes on lizzy about how he is none of Lizzy’s Business.

On top of that argument, nan runs into seadown before Dinner, who more information nan that once he finds her sister, which will he will, he’ll be tosing her in an insane asylum to her issues. By the time is seated for the dinner and it is time for nan to introdes theo, she decides that if she is stuck in this duches situation for life, she might as well. She might as well use the influenza hector reminded her she has. And so nan makes a Big Speech About How Hector’s Bill Will Give a Voice to All Working Men, But How Women Don’t Have Anyone Fighting for Voice – SO She will. ALL MEN SHOULD OND LAND, SHE AGREES, “But no man should be allowed to ow.” She is looking right at seadown as shes on about sura sura Are belived and heard and that “any man that threatetes (her) safety will Feel the Force of what he deerves.” Wen theo finally stands up, it is in full support of His Wife.

Things are, uh, uncomfortable at that table, and it’s not long before theo taks off, and nan goes looking for Him. Unfortunately, it”s seadown who finds her alone in the Dark and Grabs Her: “Humiliation? Is that your game?” He glowls at her. Before he can let nan know exactly why she’ll “regret that little performance,” Theo sucker punches Him right in the face. Its Very Cathartic for me, Personally. Now, that the Kind of Passion of Want from theo. IT’S LIKE HE FIGHTING FOR AND TO PROTECT HIS WIFE. The Gesture, Along With Nan Finding Her Own Voice, SEEMS to be Enough to Help Nan Really Move Forward With This Mariage. She and theo end up in bed together, happy, and late that morning, she finds lizzy to tell that she is, once and for all, letting guy go. She and theo have a real chance at a happy life together, and she has to do Everything she can make sura khappens. Nan burns Her sobbing shirt. Lizzy Burns The Letter. The and Duchess are Stronger than Ever.

Yeah, that Lasts, Like, Five Hours. Seadown finds theo in the morning. I can’t go go off about theo apologizing to seadown for Hitting Him, ede thing that is so ridiculous, it makes me to punch Him in the face now we have been Enough time. Seadown is fold for Intel on Jinny. Be as kanss if Maybe the heard from the guy of and he sees surprise and confusion all over theo’s face, well, he can he can do some damage to nan. He explains that, yes, several people saw gay gay with jinny during the wedding, and by the way, they also saw guy on the ground the way the wedding around with nan. And suddenly, Theo gets it. GUY WAS IN NAN’S BED THE NIGHT PRIGHT THEIR WEDDING. Nan has kept so much from Him. Theo is angry. Well, we Certainly have a new tortured love triangles to add to the tintagel lore, don’t we?

Acoss fove years of tireless activity, Taylor swift has repeatedly envoked herSelf in the shoes of doomed in history and literature while Coping with Stress and Public-Relations Disasters. Time folklore-era Studies of Tragic Characters SEEMED TO WONDER WHATER THERE A Gray Gardens in Her Own Future. Last Year’s The tortured Poets DepartmentWHICH RECUNTED SWIFT’S BREAKUPS WITH ROCKER BEAU MATTY HEALY AND ACTOR/CO-WRITER Joe Alwyn, Bristled at Expectations and Disappeaared Into Fantasy. She played a Gun Moli on the Run; she was a diabolical mathematician. The Pithy “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” Suggested She’d Rather Keep to Herself and Terrify NeighBorhood Children Like To kill a mockingbirdS ‘ Boo Radley than Observe Any Cookie-Cutter Standards of Living. But Lately, She’s Been Getting Her Way in A Year of Overdue Resolutions: She Bowht the Masters for Her First Six and Bagged a football husband.

Swift’s Latest Album, The Life of a ShowgirlHowver, Catches a Millennial at the Doorstep of Traditional Adult American Family Life Voicing Reservations About the plunge into stability. IT’S HER MOST COMBATIVE WORKING SINCE 2017’s Reputation. Instead of focus on the JOYS of Loving Cohabitation and Coming Across Poignantly Allergic to Controversy, Like Miley Cyrus’s Younger Now or the selena gomez and benny blanco album, swift has chosen chaos. Still Working Through Residual Resentments from Last Year, Her Lyrics This Cycle Often Clash with the Careful Slickness of the Production. She Wants US to Know She’s Happy But Also Hated. Thought Showgirl is more streamlined than Poet‘s Exhaustive Sprawl, Its Not Entirely Free from the frustrating self-aggrandism of that album’s most headline-grabbing moments of snark. She Still Feels a bit too in the comments section.

Opener and Lead Single “The Fate of Ophelia” Swift’s Memorizes Recent Engagement to NFL Tight End Kelce in Storybook Terms. Unlike The Legend in Shakespeare’s Hamlet -whose rejection by the prince of denmark sparks her unraveling-this fair-haired socialite will swimming be Loising the full. “You saved my heart from the fate of ophelia,” Swift sings, imagination her predecessor’s Death by Meeting A Hamlet Who Cared. In spite of “ophelia” s relief at avoiding demise, the album Aims to figure out how to maintain ophelia’s free Spirit inside a fulfilling Relationship. The Practice Can of the Shape of Postcards from Quiet Couples Bliss or Passive-Grissess Quips About Exes, Siured Business Relationships, and Industry French.

Showgirl Reunites Swift With Longime Swedish Production Veterans Max Martin and Shellback. This trio hit the jackpot with Red‘s “22” and “I kew you were Trouble” and a barrel of 1989 Bangers Including “Style” and “Bad Blood.” The Signature Sound they estabished Together offten Bite-Size Chunks of Rhythm and Melody Assembled Into Lego-like forms. Think of the Dinky Horn-And-Drum Routine of “Shake It off” Slowly Filling Up With Other Tiny Noises. Poet SOLD Boatloads like its predecessors, but fans’ excitement for the return of Martin and Shellback Saople Wouuld To see the sound of her recent record Back to a Different Frequency. Its often difficult to gauge dyspleasure with a catalogue that so well. But Swift’s Work With Jack Antonoff Slipped Into a Too-Reliable Throwback Synth-Pop Aesthetic that doesn’t Feel Fresh AFTER AFTER OF ITERRATIONS AND IMITIONS. Her folk records with the Memories of the National Revealed the narrowness of the default jack-to-taylor du-nuh-nuh-nuh type beat.

butt Showgirl does swimming Want the Old Sound Back. Martin and Shellback Take a Lucrative Existing Sound and Shuck the Excesses. Swift Promises 12 Songs and No Secret Extras; The Credits Say the Trio Connected in Sweden, Sometimes as A Skeleton Crew But Often Fleshed Out by Local Musicians. A wealth of pop history is on the menu with Martin, Producer of Robyn’s “Show Me Love,” in Tow. And the album’s sonic, geographic, and historical fixations Scour the continent the singer was Touring Last Year Stealing Away to Record. After the ode to Danish Palace Intrigue, Showgirl Toasts to Italian Fishing Villages and Greek Pop icons.

“Faater Figure,” which interpolates the 1990 George Michael Hit of the Same name, is a clinic in the logic that swift’s information wring this cycle. Where the original snuck queer daddy lingo onto pop charts, swift use the melody-and-sting concept to eviscerate a younger man of means who saw her as a meal ticket. Resenting His Ambition, She Offers an Emasculating Rebuke that suggests she didn’t Need a Breadwinner, but someone Else Might’ve Lost: “Mistake My Kindness and Find Your Canceled.” IT’S DIFFICULT TO TELL WHATER I DUNKING ON ALWYN, OR IF The Track’s Most Eye-Catching Line-“I can make deals with the devil my dick’s bigger” What stands out About “Father Figure” aside from its placement right after “opalite,” Where swift celebrates newfound freedom ghosts of her past, is a sense that love can be be a Balm or a blade.

Showgirl invocation Reputation In its Air of Romance Under Fire, of Stolen Moments in a Season of Controversy. The Ballad “Eldest Daughter” Mirrors the Grizzled Dedication of “Delicate,” a song about in love under a pall of Internet disdain. It spends just as Much Time Counting the Ways It Its Protagonist has been workged by traitors as it does proclaing devotion to the person she and trusts. “Eldest Daughter” is one of Swift’s Most Earnest Examinations of Her Experience Being Despive, we have fusing the internet commenter talk subsides: “EVERY JOKE’S TROLLING AND MEMES / SAD AS IT SEEMS, APATHY IS Hot.” The song calls bullshit on not just just the bravado of rude anons online but the singer’s Own Performative Bluster: “I’m not a bad bitch / this isn’t savage.” She’s Trying Not to Crowd Verses with Too Many Words; Poet‘s bookishness songs literally manifested in long sentiment. She’s giving BREATHING Room to Lines We Should Catch As The 1989 Team Assists with Lean Pop Curios and Brief Nods to their Respective Legacies, Martin’s in ’90s Bubblegum and Shellback’s in Punk and Metal.

“Did she just say that?” Levels are routinely off the charts on Showgirl. The Euro-Motown Misfire “Wood” is dedicated to dick jokes that make Rihanna’s “Cockiness” Feel Edgy: “Forgive with, It Sounds Cocky / He-Matized with and Opened my Eyes / Redwood Tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love was the key.” Showgirl is consenting sites awkwardly with recent pop Heavyweights: The stylistically slippery and lyrically transgresive Sabrina Carpenter records, the delight inscrutability of Charli XCX’s Bra, and the alt-rock mojo olivia rodrigo amassed on Tour with the breeders and at lollapalooza with weeezer. The title track invites carpenter for a former teen-start duet about the grit Its to Become a Household Name. “Showgirl” Makes Great use of its guest, thorns though the production tiptoes too to be too many mid-tempo pop balyoncé’s “halo” or the Jonas Brothers. “

“Actually Romantic” Borrows Rodrigo’s Shout Slacker Rock to Chop Bra‘S’ Sympathy is a Knife. ‘ There, Charli Sang About How Her Now-Husband, George Daniel, Assured Her That A Mutual Acquainance Backstage at 1975 Shows was not active to make her inadquate. “Actually romantic” schedules its rudest digs early, over muted guita, SO you up: “I heard you call with ‘boring barbie’ when you have brave / high-fived you Said you ghosted with.” Her hater, she continues, is a “toy chihuahua” barking from a “tiny purses” whose boyfriend must be tired of hearing about swift all the time. It ‘s quirky clapback Because a Listener Could Already Get That Idea From “Sympathy,” Which is Honest About How Charli’s FEELINGS OF INSESECURY ARE IRATIONAL AND SELFS, JUST A CRY FOR ATTENTION. Swift now appearing to aggree that charli is small and insignificant is a peculiar play: it validates what once underestouod as a nonssensical notion of Taylor swift as a foil. It also pretends Both artists didn’t just vie for the same album of the year Grammy in february.

Bandying between songs that revel in a remove from gossip and moments that seem designed to create it-like “Cancelled!,” Which asks an Old Friend or May Not Be Blake Lively How they are. Showgirl Captures the Peace of Being Taken off the market but also the illusion of “Happy Ever after.” You get someone who underestands and consider you, as long as you can keep the Relationship Going and Good, and this will not solve all your problems. “Elizabeth Taylor” is a fun conceptual curveball in an album of lovey-doave songs About Kelce, Like the Light and Sweet Late-Album Gem “Honey.” “Elizabeth Taylor” is another of Showgirl‘s jams about not WANTING TO END UP LIKE A HISTORICAL ANALISH FOR WEALTH. The Oscar Winner and Eight-Times-Maried Philanthropist Gets Invoked Both as a cautery tale and a rubric for life after a happy ending source. “If you Ever Leave with High and Dry,” swift sings just before invoking the name of the Cleopatra Actress, as if to say that he hopes this marriage lasts forever, but she’ll still be deced in diamonds if it doesn’t.

It ‘s in the lurid insights into intersections of love, Money, and Sparyly Relinqueshed Control That Showgirl Really pops. Like Last Time, swimming entirerely clicks. Its Slick, but there are skips. The Pained Subtlelety of Songs Like “Ruin the Friendship,” About spiraling after an Old Crush dies, the beef bait. But Flaws and All, Its Better for Showgirl to access the joys and insecurities of Taylor Swift of Today-Engaged but Still up for snaring an ex and his entire goup, invested in pure pop but not in all the yelling on “Shake it”-say in the past trying to make Overly-2010s pop.
