Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Somebody Somewhere’ Season 2 On HBO, Where Sam Loves Living With Joel But Misses Her Father

There are some shows that just feel settled in after their first season, know what we mean? They’ve established their worlds and the characters within it. So when the second season starts, the show can just keep exploring and deepening these characters instead of trying to reinvent the show. That’s what we felt when we watched the return of Bridget Everett’s excellent dramedy Somebody…

hi! so i started reading when christ and his saints slept (your recommendation, it's great btw) and wow george really dropped the ball on the dance cause what is this going on. like older sister against brother?? why would that work George??

i've seen tb make arguments that the usurpation set women's rights back for centuries, and that seems kind of silly cause the rule of (bloody) mary i still led to the rule of elizabeth i. personally, i think the issue of women's rights has more to do with the lack of queen dowagers and regents which are more common in real history but less in asoiaf who use their power of being mothers of the king to advocate for women, and lay the groundwork (e.g. margaret beaufort, nurbanu sultan, anne of austria, etc)

but, also what are the greens meant to do because if viserys did not settle inheritance for his sons (through heiresses) whilst he lived there's no reason why rhaenyra would do it when she's queen.

for me the greens have three options : take the throne through conquest, ask for a great council (they have vhagar they can make demands), or three literally die.

like as much as i am green supporter if i was rhaenyra and i peacefully ascended to the throne and my half-siblings who are brothers with sons of their own well, they just have to die ottoman style, because allowing them cadet branches undermines her own and in the end you get a house bourbon supplanting house valois situation (something catherine de medici committed war crimes to prevent); you can't let them leave because well 6 dragons outside of targaryen control — you might as well be asking for trouble ; send them to the citadel —well two are married to each other, one has vhagar with clear anger issues, the other has tessarion and can just leave when he wants and, not even talking about the kids with their own dragons.

the truth is the greens can't just sit and do nothing. if viserys doesn't want the trouble of his sons ,and wants rhaenyra has queen then simply don't remarry or do you your duty to the sons that you have sired.

reading christ and when his saints slepts its actually comical how house targaryen don't have mistresses and they began to have them when the dragons are dead

this was a long rant but the greens don't have much options especailly cause their living in an environment where sons inherit before daughters. i would ask how would you make the story more compelling and logical causing reading penman the dance is not.

also, big can of your writing ofcir and akab are holding me down since hotd has been feeding us crap.

Anon I've had this reply sitting in my drafts and should have answered ages ago, so my apologies for the late reply!

I'm so glad you're reading When Christ and His Saints Slept. It's my go-to recommendation for historical fiction about the Anarchy, and Penman in general is just my absolute favorite historical fiction writer. I hope you continue the series that follows Matilda's son, Henry II, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their brood of children.

You're right that the greens didn't have many options if they wanted to stay alive. The show has downplayed that aspect this season but Alicent's sons and grandsons would always be a challenge to Rhaenyra and Jace's rule. You only need a basic understanding of the world to see that they were in an impossible position. Ultimately, Viserys is the one who destabilized his succession and deserves a lot more blame than the show is willing to give him.

As for the matter of powerful women, queens regnant, and women's rights, irl history is full of powerful queen consorts like Eleanor who exercised power, defended garrisons, negotiated peace, and sometimes, as in Eleanor's case, even rebelled against their own husbands. In the Anarchy, Stephen's wife, Matilda of Boulogne, was a force to be reckoned with, besieging Dover castle and making a treaty for Stephen with the king of Scotland. When he was captured in battle, Matilda raised an army, and when her army captured Empress Matilda's half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, who was one of her biggest supporters, Matilda of Boulogne negotiated a hostage exchange and secured Stephen's release. And this isn't even a Westeros problem because we see politically powerful women who are not queens regnant in-world-- Cersei as regent for her children, Catelyn, who was basically running the war effort before Robb set her aside, and even book!Alicent, who exercised a good deal of power. In fact, somewhat ironically, show!Alicent was well set up to exercise even more power than her book counterpart. It's clear Aegon actually listened to her and valued her counsel, even seeking out her advice and guidance. Having the ear of the king is no small thing, and if she'd done anything other than belittle him she could have ended up as his most trusted advisor. Look how easily Larys moved in! But the show instead had Alicent alienate Aegon and then treated her disempowerment as if it were a function of her gender rather than a result of her inability to provide useful counsel.

So no, a lack of queens regnant is not keeping Westerosi women out of powerful positions, and you're right anon, in that HotD seems to have decided that powerful women didn't exist as consorts, dowagers, and regents even though that's not true irl or in Westeros. As for women's rights, unfortunately having a queen regnant historically has done very little for women as a whole. Royal women tended to align their interests with other royals or nobles rather than with women as a whole, that is, solidarity is formed along class lines more often than it is formed along gendered lines. We see this even in our world today, where companies with women as CEOs in fact tend to hire fewer women in lower management positions. Rhaenyra being denied the throne doesn't mean much for the average Westerosi woman, but civil wars caused by an unstable succession can make everyone's lives demonstrably worse.

Soooooo anyway has anyone watched Someone Somewhere? I just saw there’s a season 2 out!

Last song: I think it was Lindsay Mendez's cover of "As".

Last show: Somebody Somewhere!!!!!! Like, it's some of the best low-stakes television currently airing. Bridget Everett's Sam is one of the best mess-over-30 characters we have. Jeff Hiller and Mary Catherine Garrison are delivering phenomenal supporting performances. And it's currently airing after the insane two-punch of Succession and Barry, so it feels like a cool-down after those two. It's giving female led dramedy on Showtime (Weeds, United States of Tara, The Big C), but has the low stakes storytelling and humanism of HBO shows like Enlightened and Getting On.

Anyways, I just realized that I put on Grey's S5 while I was working earlier, but I'm obviously not counting that.

Currently watching: In addition to the three current shows above, I'm watching the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as well as ol' Grey's. I'm also currently doing a Jane the Virgin rewatch. Two other shows I enjoyed that recently ended their seasons: Abbott Elementary and Unprisoned.

Currently reading: I'm re-reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell with a friend who's reading it for the first time. (Our last book that we finished together was I'm Glad My Mom Died.) I have started like 20 books in the last 24 months that I haven't finished, but I'm slowly starting Northanger Abbey and I'm trying to finish Emily Henry's Book Lovers.

Current obsession: I can't think of a current obsession (besides the stressful things in my life) but I'll mention that I went to the movies to see Spirited Away: Live On Stage yesterday and it was a total delight.

I'll tag @nelson-riddle-me-this, @red-winged-monster, and @headcheer-tator

It’s only a few minutes into our conversation when Bridget Everett makes a joke about being premenopausal, warning me that I’ve got to get in fast, ask my question, and get out before she loses her train of thought. It’s a hilariously personal reveal — but then again, there’s a sense of openness in the way she moves across every topic. After spending more than 10 years on the New York cabaret circuit, where she’s strutted, sang, joked, and regularly motorboated (consenting) audience members, Everett isn’t afraid of a little honesty.
