Thread Where We Call Each Other Shitass & Proclaim Our Love For RESERVATION DOGS

haha I loved that, dude was still fried from the last episode

"it's been a weird couple of days"

i was dying! he was wearing a native choker too lol

loved the scene where Cheese was nerding out about Thunderdome & Elora is like wtf this is supposed to help me stay awake so i can guard white jesus's tent?

just finished the last two episodes. both had me bawling, big time. this show is so good

Wondered something about the end there do they get their shoes back or did they get washed away. Seemed water came in faster than expected. Just would have compounded the situation or ah well another adversity for comradeship to get them through. Quite apart from getting home.

i assume yes lol

like it’s not the kind of show to tell you everything anyway, some conclusions you just have to draw on their own

*your own

i saw two teenage girls at the supermarket chips aisle trying to decide what to buy

one girl walked up and down the aisle boredly punching every bag of chips

then she saw what she wanted but was too short to reach, jumped up on the lowest shelf to grab it, the front of the shelf fell off and a bunch of chips tumbled to the floor

they laughed & ran off & i pissed myself laughing it was so dumb

i felt like the spirit of willie jack waz with these girls somehow even though they were latina

<3

This show really nails being a teen better than most shows. But that may just be because this show is better than most shows in pretty much every regard.

I went to a powwow this weekend and one of the merch tables was selling "Don't Be A Shitass" window decals. I've been to a bunch of powwows and never heard the term before this show so it seems to be creeping out of oklahoma.

Show back

so excited!

S3E3 is so devastating, so good… i fell apart all the way through

but the way he kept such a gentle touch, the interactions between the kids, the alien voices of the nuns, “keep smiling” … incredible. and Deer Lady, just an incredible representation & such a great way to tell this story

how this show doesn’t own every emmy category every year it’s been running is baffling to me

beautiful post by harjo about the ep here:
the comments are worth yr time too

that was so good, and yah very heavy

reading Joe Brainerd in the diner <3

*Brainard*

like in inexperienced and/or non indigenous hands, this would have been a horribly retraumatizing after school special … harjo makes such sensitive, good choices, like he is always leading with his community first, this show has such a huge heart

otm

I also love how the rap twins are rocking scooters now instead of cruisers

it's the little details that make it

he understands who is watching

anyway, great episode

sidebar omggggggggg i want a whole cherry pie to myself so fucking bad now

YES

thank you thread for reminding me that this is back.

i am a full-on fx fanboy, only been watching justified, sunny, shadows, and the bear. now this!

same lol

wondering whose decision it was to end the show after this season?

I get a "quit while you're ahead" vibe but have no idea really

(I will buy the hell out of this as DVD/BR)

It was the authors’ idea aiui

i couldn’t stop thinking about that episode & went down a rabbithole finding out about one of these schools in northeast california at Fort Bidwell (ran from 1898 and closed in 1931). Not a ton of info around but the vibe is grim, obviously.

And shit like this here in Sacramento County “August 1921, the California legislature amended the School Law of California so that "The governing body of a school district shall have power to exclude children of filthy or vicious habits, or children suffering from contagious or infectious diseases, and also to establish separate schools for Indian children and for children of Chinese, Japanese or Mongolian parentage. When such schools are established, Indian children or children of Chinese, Japanese or Mongolian parentage must not be admitted into any other school." (from https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/5views/5views4h16.htm)

i mean, i knew a lot of this already but still there is always something about seeing it so coldly codified that always fucks me up.

oh god, the outtake scene during the credits on this one

looooool i died
those two are nasty af i love it

hallelujah they’re back!!

I almost turned it off when the credits began to roll. Got distracted and was rewarded with some hilarious af chewing gum kink

<3

Love me some Cheese hanging with the elders. And bigfoot(s) Great episode.

i’m one behind but the 70’s ep was great

Some eclectic listening included. Suicide & 13th Floor Elevators. Nuggets had meant people were listening to garage psych again I guess as in people who hadn't discovered it for themselves. But did strike me as pretty cool for a bunch of rock heads. Great to hear though.

yeah they used a lot of great tracks
jj cale’s call me the breeze!!

loved the latest one with Cookie visiting, just a perfect episode

"I don't know shit, I'm gonna be 20 forever"

yeah that was a great episode. they balancd the funny with the sad so well
(episode directed by Elora!)

lmao @ the sex noises

best part

PROVE IT

ok stop stop

and the way she drops her head down
and then puts her head up to do the noises? = when harry met sally reference

i FELL OUT

We just watched the '70s episode, which was good; we've been taking our time with this final season.

I was thinking back to the official "Last of Us" podcast, where they talked about how wide they had to cast their net to find a 10-year old Black deaf actor, and even then only managed to find just one. This show, with (essentially) an all-Native cast, has had nothing but great acting across the board from (mostly) relative unknowns. There are about as many Native Americans as there are deaf people, and it couldn't be easy to whittle that block down to the specifics (acting ability, age, gender, etc.) called for by the show, so shout out to the casting director.

oh i also completely fell out when Larry the therapist talks about his “La Bamba” trauma “RITCHIIIEEEEEEEEE”

100% me

Well res dogs just 2 more episodes. Sad face. Don’t miss the post credit scenes this week.

the ending of this week’s ep really got to me, love how their elder storylines are so good — and man, willie jack’s little speech too <3

the business card was loooooooooool

“Dont say mr brown…”

SO good

I've been watching the dumb-as-shit Apple TV show The Last Frontier and I don't think I'm gonna make it to the end, but Dallas Goldtooth is in it as the protagonist's #2 and he's really good.

one of the Native characters in this week’s Welcome to Derry ep called the other Natives “shitasses” and i did a little cheer lol

rewatching this is such a joy, we finished S1E2 last night and everybody hating the clinic was even funnier the 2nd time around

still no DVD or physical release of this at all, right?

if you are considering watching The Lowdown they just cast Tommy Lee mfkin Jones for S2 - his first tv role in 40 years!!!

honestly better news than i possibly could’ve dreamed of

I maintain that Reservation Dogs ended too early for no good reason.

yes we are Lowdown fans too! xp

sometimes you're done with a show and want to make The Lowdown
