JJ Abrams has admitted… that he sets up mysteries in his movies without planning an answer and with no intention of actually ever answering the mysteries…. why does anyone let this man make movies? I think the Star Wars sequels really brought out the worst of this style of his. Like he set up all these mysteries, like Rey’s parents, who the fuck these Supreme Leader Snonk is, Finn’s connection with the force, with no plan ahead of time of what the answer to this stuff is. I felt like the last movie especially was affected by his “style” of pulling things out of his ass.
This is just called being bad at your job. His “narrative trick” is not planning shit ahead of time. This is embarrassing.
Pink took Pearl’s hands, crossed them one over the other, and said, “Let’s never speak of this again.” After this, Pearl was literally incapable of talking about what she did.
In The Answer, Rose took Garnet’s hands, crossed them one over the other, and told her, “No more questions.”
I just want to point out that in the podcast they discussed one of the rules in the show bible being that Garnet can’t ask questions. The writers are not allowed to write garnet asking a question ever. The explanation was that they do this in order to keep her sounding decisive, which makes sense in keeping with her future vision and confident attitude. I literally have not thought about this scene since the episode aired and now I’m screaming because listen
Is this a cute nod to their writing strategy? OR is their decision to make this characterization rule alluding to a much much darker thing that they haven’t been telling us?
