Phaedra, with Janet McTeer and Mackenzie Davis, is now available online.
Phaedra, with Janet McTeer and Mackenzie Davis, is now available on National Theatre At Home, the National Theatre's official streaming service.
Tumblr media
Davis plays the daughter of the title character, a socially conscious young woman trying to put her privilege to good use at least, but painfully aware that her family seem to like her husband more than her.
She and her mother become increasingly at odds over a handsome new Moroccan guest in their midst and all he represents - the play goes on to pull at a number of threads to do with stuff like privilege and post-colonialism through the three of them, and it soon spirals dramatically out of control.
Given its Greek tragedy roots, it won't be a surprise that it has a good dash of sex and surprisingly convincing violence in the meantime, so be warned, (and I should say, given Davis' Tumblr fanbase of folks much like me, that there is no gay content), but it’s pretty spectacular and I was riveted.
I haven't seen the recording yet, so I don't know how well the amazing staging will translate to video, nor the intense atmosphere without feeling the crowd's horrified or startled reactions now and then - but I can say it was incredible in person, and that in the last act I saw people with hands to their faces like bystanders to a natural disaster, before stumbling out into the lobby afterwards looking bewildered.
MD herself was one of the three or so mains, as I say, and great in it btw, especially as her role was very dialogue heavy, and involved a lot of stage work. Additionally, her character has a sort of super wealthy Mid Atlantic British/N-American accent, and occasionally speaks French, just to add a little more of a challenge, while moving through the intentionally claustrophobic and also moving set, for the whole runtime.
Janet McTeer is spectacular, I have to mention, but I was genuinely impressed at Davis' technical chops as a relative theatre newbie. Coming after the brief bits of Hamlet in Station Eleven, I'd be very interested to see her do more like it, if I wasn't so selfish in wanting her to star in many more movies and tv shows I can watch at will. (And on an additional selfish note, the hipster glasses were an excellent idea all round.)
Anyway, if you're interested in theatre, some truly wild new staging effects and stylings, Mackenzie Davis, or watching wealthy families implode in incredibly messy fashion, check it out here -

WIG REVIEW: THE HAPPIEST SEASON
Tumblr media
You guys! I finally watched the lesbian holiday movie!! Though when I texted my mom to tell her I was finally watching this, she thought I was talking about The Prom and I laughed for a real long time about it (mainly because it will take me an even longer time to get around to hate watching that!) It already took about a month to get to this one. There is a lot to discuss here - and also one wig!
Tumblr media
So this is the first (big budget) holiday lesbian movie, which I am very here for. However, most of the movie feels like a combination between My Best Friend’s Wedding, Meet the Parents, and The Family Stone but with lesbians. Those movies were made between 1997 and 2005 and this movie feels like it should exist somewhere in that time as well. The whole plot of the movie is basically that Kristen Stewart (Abby) has to pretend NOT to be Mackenzie Davis’s (Harper’s)  long-term girlfriend for the sake of Harper’s conservative family with local political aspirations while also spending 5 days with them during Christmas. It’s a conceit that exists solely in these brand of garbage holiday rom coms but definitely one that feels bizarrely antiquated as well. 
Anyway! There is only one wig in this movie which belongs to Davis, who had a vastly superior lesbian wig in that one episode of Black Mirror that made us all cry. We first see this under this hat where it should have hidden for the rest of the film! 
Tumblr media
Sadly, the next scene involves the full emergence of this wig and truly: NO. This thing is dried out, bent, and disheveled in not a cool way (Stewart’s actual hair is disheveled in a cool way, though). The entire presence of this wig bothers me because: just have her have whatever hair she has? This is not a historical recreation (that I’m aware of?) and she is not playing a real person! This feels like when SNL cast members wear wigs in sketches for similarly non-existent reasons. However, SNL wigs are vastly superior to this mess!
Tumblr media
So anyway, Harper invites Abby to have Christmas at her parents’ house in the heat of the moment during a very romantic (?) Pittsburgh Christmas lights tour which is apparently something that exists. Abby conveniently, and completely for the sake of this plot to work (?) does not like Christmas and also is an orphan, getting rid of any possible Christmas plan conflicts. And then literally on the way to visiting Harper’s family, she is all: by the way, they don’t know you’re my girlfriend or that I’m a lesbian and you have to go along with it for sake of this movie to exist even though this is absolutely a terrible thing to ask of anyone, periodt. But we are beginning to find out that Harper’s character is as full of garbage as her wig. 
Tumblr media
So we meet the parents, who are Victor Garber, Mary Steenbergen, and also Mary Steenbergen’s iPad which vulture correctly identifies as the star of this movie AND IT IS. Especially during the end credits where we get to see all the pics the iPad takes! But I’m getting ahead of myself. The parents live in one of those cavernous houses that is definitely a mansion but tries to feel homey even though it probably has about 12 bedrooms and usually only exists in a Nancy Meyers movie. Despite its amount of bedrooms,  Abby has to sleep in a basement bunker which also doubles as a well organized rubbermaid storage unit. For the rest of the movie, Abby is treated like a subhuman trash person much in the way Ben Stiller is treated in Meet the Parents and Sarah Jessica Parker is treated in The Family Stone, except they don’t also have to pretend to not be in a relationship with the family member they arrived with. This conceit becomes so degrading that you honestly wonder why these people are still together!
Tumblr media
Abby endures scene after scene of total nonsense and still looks better than the wig on her terrible girlfriend. Which starts actually looking better in a few of these scenes but still is very much a terrible and noticeable wig which is on par with Rachel McAdams’ wig in Mean Girls in that we are constantly told that these women are gorgeous and every single time I ask “YOU MEAN WITH THAT TERRIBLE WIG ON THEIR HEADS????” I suppose this wig was “necessary” because Harper’s two sisters also have long-ish brown hair so they were going for some sort of familial consistency except one daughter has a terrible wig and the other two have hair. Also one sister is Alison Brie, who plays a harpy so awful that she starts to make Harper look palatable and one sister is Mary Holland, who also cowrote the script, and definitely wrote herself the only character who I’d like to meet in real life. 
Tumblr media
Along the way, we also meet Aubrey Plaza, who I usually hate because she is just one-note sullen, but here is actually great as Harper’s high school ex-girlfriend who Harper outted and allowed to be bullied and wow Harper - you have been terrible for decades!! Also compared to Harper, Aubrey has beautiful (real) hair, doesn’t lie to her entire family, and has actual chemistry with Abby. I very much wanted Abby to end up with Aubrey and I am not alone! Harper somehow avoids Abby for most of the time they are both staying in the same (albeit huge) house and there is even a dumb subplot about Abby being framed for shoplifting while trying to buy a gift for the parents’ very important white elephant gift exchange during their very important Christmas Eve party and I wonder if any of these people really knows what a white elephant gift is or how to exist in society? Meanwhile, as Harper reverts to being more falsely  heteronormative at her parents house, I started to wonder if her wig was trying to serve a larger purpose in showing how fake this character is but: no it’s just a bad wig. Also this movie really does the impossible: it makes me care about and feel bad for Kristen Stewart! 
Tumblr media
Although I did find it highly questionable that though they are the stars of a romantic comedy, neither Kristen Stewart or Mackenzie Davis is funny AT ALL. Like not even a little! Which makes the “comedic” plight of Stewart all the more upsetting! All comedy is left to the one good daughter (Mary Holland) and also all gay men in the movie. This is mainly Abby’s bff and national (Canadian) treasure, Dan Levy and also Drag Race faves Jinxx Monsoon and Ben De-La-Creme in this one gay bar scene which is honestly truly inconceivable and except for further cementing the fact that Abby and Aubrey really should get together. 
Tumblr media
In the end, Alison Brie finds out Harper’s TERRIBLE SECRET THAT NO ONE IN 2020 COULD POSSIBLY FATHOM (that she’s a lesbian) and they have a fight in the middle of the white elephant party which reveals that all the family has been competing for years for each other’s love which is really really messed up and now I kind of hate everyone in this family. And also Harper is outed to her entire terrible family and also Ana Gasteyer (and also a room full of other randos). And she denies her lesbian truth!  I recently watched Uncle Frank which is essentially everything Hillbilly Elegy wanted to be but is Shakespeare compared to that mess, and a similar scene occurs but that character bravely faces the truth - and in 1970s SOUTH CAROLINA!! I don’t know what time or space this movie thinks it exists in but it is baffling. Still, Dan Levy gives an emotional monologue about how no one can decide when anyone else is ready to come out of the closet so: FAIR. And then Harper does come out and the entire family kind gives absolutely no reaction to this until Victor Garber says it’s ok?? ABSOLUTELY AND TRULY BIZARRELY PATRIARCHAL. And then Harper and Abby get back together in the parking lot of a Love’s convenience store which is as cheesy and clunky as any garbage holiday rom com so I guess this is definitely a new holiday “classic” which I’ll probably watch 100 more times and hate Harper and her terrible wig each time about as much as I hate Laura Linney’s terrible life choices in Love, Actually. AS CONFOUNDING AS HARPER’S WIG OR THE CHOICE TO GIVE HER ONE AT ALL!
VERDICT: DOESN’T WURQ

Chronological Station Eleven Timeline (Updated 09/01)
Tumblr media
This is a chronological timeline of events in the Station Eleven miniseries, based on what we've seen as far as Episode 9.
I figure it might be fun or useful to read through roughly in the order they happened, noting some of the connections that might not have jumped out at you on first watch.
It's mostly from memory and I'm still polishing it, so feel free to comment with corrections or additions.
Note that some of these events may occur simultaneously or a little ambiguously to each other, but I have tried to reflect them roughly in order.
Obviously, this contains massive spoilers for the show, so it's below the cut.
BEFORE PANDEMIC
Miranda gets a job in logistics and shipping, working for Leon Prevant.
Arthur shows up late and without a gift to his friend Clark’s birthday party. He hits on Miranda and gets her to draw something for him as a gift, a banana. Miranda and Clark bond while he’s off being movie star. She devises the “cutting anchor” symbol that both Kirsten and Tyler will later invoke, and a character in the story, Lonegan, bears some resemblance to Arthur. They begin a relationship.
Frank is seriously injured in a landmine explosion in Sri Lanka, which breaks the compass in his pocket, a gift from his Grandfather. Jeevan borrows his sister’s credit card to buy first class tickets to get to him in hospital, running up an enormous bill he thinks she doesn’t know about (she definitely knows).
Arthur, believing Miranda can’t speak Spanish, openly talks shit about her to his dad on the phone. Miranda, believing Arthur is having an affair with his co star Elizabeth, storms out of the dinner party. Clark follows her, joking that he misses cocaine, though at this point he is still drinking (Pra-ha!). He fidgets with a zippo lighter throughout this conversation. Miranda burns down the poolhouse and leaves Arthur that night.
At some point Miranda begins work on Station Eleven from scratch.
Arthur does begin a relationship with Elizabeth. They marry and they have a son, Tyler. They split up due to his womanising. She moves to Germany. Elizabeth will later tell Tyler his father sent him many letters and she burned them, but this is a lie.
Sarah has a reasonably successful indie musical career, and features on NPR - though she has a love/hate thing with La Campanella, a notoriously difficult piano piece, due to its association with her dead father.
SHORTLY BEFORE PANDEMIC
Frank moves back to Chicago and becomes a ghost writer for the rich and famous. He begins using heroin.
Jeevan moves back to Chicago from LA. He "had" a website, so presumably he used to be a media blogger before the bottom fell out of that whole scene in the early 2010s.
Three weeks before the play, Arthur and Clark meet up, trying to inject some life into their friendship. Clark has been sober 9 years at this point, and initially declines drugs he’s offered by the room service guy. He is offended Arthur doesn’t know he's been sober, nor recognize the name of his boyfriend Tim; Tim clearly knows who Arthur is though, based on his very grumpy text messages. Clark relapses, goes on a bender and fucks the room service guy. Noon the next day, he wakes up and blurts out some shit about how Arthur’s a terrible father in Tyler’s earshot.
Miranda and Arthur have a call, entirely in Spanish. She tells him she loves him.
Miranda meets Arthur while he’s rehearsing for King Lear. She gives one copy of Station Eleven to him, which he gives to Kirsten, and one that he sends to Tyler. She is very tempted to stay – but she goes to work in Malaysia instead.
In the course of rehearsals, Kirsten and Arthur have become good friends. Kirsten's wrangler Tonya has told him Kirsten's home life is sad, though we don't get details (Kirsten does later mention she had a little brother once who died before she was born). Kirsten is briefly introduced to both Clark and Miranda, though she may not recall later. She is due to meet Arthur’s son Tyler at the premiere, but they are late and don’t make it.
PANDEMIC BEGINS
The night of the play Arthur has a heart attack. Jeevan, there with his girlfriend, tries to intervene. Kirsten’s wrangler Tonya, who may or may not be sleeping with Arthur, goes with him in the ambulance and abandons Kirsten. Jeevan tries to get her home to her parents, and in the meantime gets a warning from Siya that this is a doomsday event. Kirsten is 8 at this time.
Siya calls Frank, to tell him Jeevan’s on his way. Frank at first says he doesn’t want him there. He flushes all or most of his heroin stash and changes clothes.
Clark starts notifying people Arthur is dead and making arrangements to get to Chicago. Tim, who clearly did not like Arthur, makes excuses not to come.
Jeevan brings Kirsten to Frank’s. They witness a plane crash into Navy Pier.
Leon gets a warning the flu is serious and warns Miranda in turn. He tips her off to a ship she can get to to weather it out, and a means to get there, but she gets Clark’s call about Arthur as she’s running for it and stumbles, dropping the keys. The ship presumably leaves without her. She seals herself into her hotel room to wait for the end. Leon gets sick, and presumably dies.
Clark, Tyler, Elizabeth and Elizabeth’s weirdly wigged and accented agent Brian are all diverted to Severn City Airport. Elizabeth gives Clark an extremely cold shoulder initially, his shitshow in Chicago only a few weeks before. One of the airport’s janitors begins masquerading as a Homeland security agent. The last plane to arrive is grounded, but kept sealed due to apparent contamination on board.
Kirsten receives texts from her parents’ phones informing her they are both dead. It is 11 days before Christmas.
Dr. Deborah/Terry, who has been suspended for running a ponzi scheme with the nurses, is not on duty when the pandemic breaks out and so survives.
Tim dies.
THE FIRST 100
Kirsten befriends a cat that wanders through the building vents and calls it Luli. She and Frank exchange Christmas gifts - he gives her the now broken compass his Grandfather once gave him. The power goes out and the apartment gets extremely cold. Jeevan wants to leave Frank’s apartment before the food supplies are likely to run out, incorrectly citing the true story of ALIVE as a soccer team's plane crash, instead of a rugby team. Frank’s injury, likely withdrawal effects and possibly acquired agoraphobia mean he will not leave. Exploring a neighboring unit in the meantime, Jeevan passes a copy of La Campanella’s sheet music marked “IT’S IMPOSSIBLE!”; the occupant has seemingly committed suicide through the window, something Jeevan himself also contemplates. Instead he scavenges a radio, but leaves the door unbarricaded on his way back in.
Kirsten writes a play based on a death scene in Station Eleven as a proxy goodbye between them all, but on the day they are due to leave, an intruder with a red balaclava breaks in. Frank sacrifices himself in a confrontation with him, and Jeevan has to kill the man.
Kirsten takes the knife that killed Frank, carrying it for the rest of her life, and the compass. Jeevan and Kirsten leave, and wind up in a cabin in the wolf-infested woods near what will one day become St. Deborah By The Water.
The airport begins to becomes an enclaved community, run by Clark, Elizabeth and Miles. The janitor leaves with most of the soccer team (sans Goalie) and possibly Brian for a "beach community" he wants to found; Clark uses the opportunity to fortify the rest with a speech about how much better off they all are without them, and how united and useful the remainers are, like the Goalie. Good for you, Goalie.
Miles, formerly a TSA agent, knows some electrical engineering – he rigs up the airports solar panels so they maintain power. Tyler brings a disoriented survivor from the sealed plane into the airport, but Miles shoots him for fear he’s contagious. Elizabeth and Tyler are both quarantined in a jet for about a month. Elizabeth bears it fairly gracefully, but Tyler doesn't. Clark becomes increasingly convinced he is a threat, and Tyler overhears him having a conversation with "Arthur" over the radio to this effect.
Tyler starts a fire in the sealed plane with Clark’s lighter and his copy of Station Eleven, faking his death and running away. He leaves behind his weird internet… thing (it’s an Atari Lynx 2 for some reason), which is put in the Museum Clark has started.
Things begin to settle down, and a bunch of women get pregnant towards the end or shortly after the First 100 days.
1 YEAR POST PANDEMIC
At this point there are still operational ICE (ie conventional internal combustion) vehicles, including jetskis, motor bikes, and a snow plow.
Gil and Sarah, and the Symphony in whatever form it’s in at this point, begin circling the lake annually.
Jeevan and Kirsten squabble a little. She is obsessive about Station Eleven. A little desperate for adult social contact, Jeevan talks with a woman over the scavenged radio and fibs that he’s a doctor and that he’s alone. Kirsten gets pretty good with a rifle, very very good with her knife, and seems to be a reasonably competent trapper. Jeevan gets quite good at skinning and butchering animals, too - but they are both wary of a local wolf they nickname Big Daddy.
Angry that Kirsten gets distracted by Station Eleven - resulting in him getting hurt by a mysterious pregnant woman while they’re out scavenging - and kinda weirdly jealous, Jeevan throws away Station Eleven. He goes remorsefully out to look for it that night, but is attacked by Big Daddy, who tears open his arm and foot. He wounds Big Daddy and survives, but likely gets frostbite from being left out in the elements. He makes it to within sight of the cabin before passing out and being picked up by the mysterious pregnant woman, Lara.
Believing he really is a doctor and that he's alone, she brings him to a department store, Habermakers, that’s being used as a makeshift maternity hospital for 15-16 of the first post 100 day pregnancies.
Kirsten looks for Jeevan in the morning, but can only find a very bloodied copy of Station Eleven and hears wolves. She apparently concludes he has been killed, and leaves before Lara finds out she was there and comes back to look for her. She leaves the broken compass behind, but brings the wolfskins, which she will still be wearing by the time she meets Sarah in a year or so.
These first women, basically the first generation of women who would have gotten pregnant post pandemic, are mostly due to give birth within days or hours of each other, around the Solstice, but at least one more woman appears in the meantime, so this location seems likely to draw pregnant women from now on. One woman, Rose, tells the others she’s waiting for David, but dies in labour.
“David” appears too late, too young to be the father as we might have assumed. He is in fact Tyler Leander. Tyler is introduced to her baby, who is named Alexandra, but doesn’t take her with him.
Jeevan leaves the community and returns to the cabin to look for Kirsten. She finds the broken compass she's left behind. He carries on elsewhere with his new companion Lara, the mysterious pregnant woman/woman he spoke to on the radio.
The Red Bandanas, meth-using militia men, take over Pingtree golf club and then wipe each other out as a coherent group. They scatter into the woods. Somebody mentions they were known as “Kevins” in Virginia... One of them is apparently a former dentist, and they seemingly have access to Kokorol-1, what's thought to be a Fentanyl derivative used by Russian secret services to knock people out or poison them, as required. One of their members, Vlad, leaves and joins the Symphony. A bunch of professors from Purdue move in to now vacant Pingtree and de-mine it, but leave the minefield warnings up.
Clark and Miles begin a relationship. The airport people fashion little houses for themselves within the terminal, re-purposing the materials and doors from the building, and set up a school for the kids. Elizabeth is involved with it, Clark lectures about Ye Olden Days at it, and Miles teaches electrical engineering.
2 YEARS POST PANDEMIC
Sarah is on her second lap of the lake, and the very early days of the Symphony. At Petoskey Station, while attempting to play La Campanella, she meets Kirsten, who is by now around ten, and covered in blood. Kirsten is in rough shape psychologically, identifying herself *as* Doctor Eleven from her comic book and referring to Frank Chaudary as her own little brother. Based on the Wheel map, we have to assume they have already passed through the Habermaker community and picked up baby Alex by this point, though Sarah warns Kirsten that Gil hates kids (she might have learned this the hard way, after picking up Alex...)
At Pingtree, the Symphony perform The Tempest for the professors. Gil finds The Book of Joy and Despair, which was started by a Red Bandana. Kirsten mentions she has already killed some Red Bandanas at this point, or else they would "chase" her. She briefly loses Alex after getting distracted again by Station Eleven – horrified, she promises to get rid of it. We can surmise this is when she stashed it in the desk in this very room at Pingtree. She essentially gave up Station Eleven for Alex.
POST PANDEMIC YEARS 2 – 19
ICE vehicles gradually become inoperable, though some battery operated ones like golf carts remain in use until present day (the book notes that gasoline starts going stale after 2- 3 years).
At some point Sarah finds out Gil is also seeing Katrina at Pingtree and shoots him (non-fatally). He leaves the Wheel and stays in Pingtree, and the Symphony stops visiting it. Gil continues The Book of Joy and Despair.
Terry/Deborah dies in a chemical fire. The Habermakers community becomes St-Deborah-By-The Water, and she becomes its patron saint, complete with a statue of her holding a baby. “St Debs” is known for its doulas, and pregnant women apparently have continued to go there in the years since Jeevan left. The midwives have come to place a lot of significance in Solstices, Equinoxes, “vernal energy” etc. The community is no longer located in the Habermakers store, which may have burned down entirely – it’s now a kind of village around a water edge, though there are the remains of a Habermakers truck nearby. It has become the starting point of The Wheel.
Kirsten gets a horse she also names Luli. She has developed a reputation as a local celebrity, and is known to her friends for her habit of hiding weapons in her stage costume, and for checking the Cabin every time they pass it near St Debs. She meets Charlie in Year 3 and they become very close, never apart from this time until Year 20. At some point she even dates Charlie, and Jeremy, though she later swears off actors.
Cody is born at some point early on (he’s 17/18 by the time Kirsten meets him) and may well be the Prophet/David/Tyler’s first disciple. He’s the oldest of the Undersea, and the only one who seems to be aware “the prophecy” is a load of shit, so it's possible Tyler either hadn't refined his schtick when they met, he was told when he was old enough, or he figured it out himself.
Jeevan settles down with Lara from the radio/Habermakers and they have kids together. He is well enough known as a doctor that he can apparently be sent for to do emergency house calls, but wherever he lives seems to be far enough off The Wheel that he has not heard of Kirsten again since losing her.
Clark has a monument erected to the passengers of the sealed and burned plane, which falsely claims they all sacrificed themselves willingly for the sake of the airport occupants.
20 YEARS POST PANDEMIC
Kirsten is now about 28.
Tyler shows up at Pingtree golf club pretending to be injured. He gives a story about a sick wife and an accompanying kid who is meant to be his. He is sent away but comes back and repeats the overture with a different kid. This time he disappears with all of the children in Pingtree, recruiting them to the Undersea.
The ruling council at the airport make the decision to “invite” the Symphony to the airport at Elizabeth's request.
The Symphony starts the year’s wheel in St-Deborah-By-The-Water as usual. Alex is apparently “with” Sayid, but it seems to be pretty casual. They stage Hamlet, but Dieter has trouble casting it because a number of actors won’t do it “because of Gil”, who hated Hamlet even more than August: Osage County. Charlie and Jeremy choose to drop off the Wheel here to have the baby. Kirsten flips out, raising the possibility of the baby getting eaten by wolves, which seems hysterical at the time but may well be rooted in Jeevan’s apparent death in the nearby woods.
Tyler shows up and singles out Alex, telling her a greatly altered version of the story of her own mother Rose, claiming Rose died in Detroit having Cody, rather than St Deb’s itself, having Alexandra. He fakes an injury very visually similar to the injury he might have seen a certain Dr Chaudary with, or heard about, but his fake backstory (including implausible age ranges) is easily apparent to Kirsten. Kirsten tells him the "cut anchor" tattoos on her hand represent all the people she's killed as if it’s a joke - it is unconfirmed, but plausible, that this is actually true.
Sarah is approached with an invitation to the Museum/Severn City Airport by Brian, Elizabeth’s former agent. He no longer has the weird wig or accent, and has a significant scar on the top of his head – his demeanour is odd, and may be meant to suggest he has minor brain damage. It’s not clear what exactly happened with the Homeland Security group who left, but Brian later states he has total memory loss from before apart from the fact he left and came back (Jeevan's earlier mistaken reference to a soccer team being involved in a plane crash may be blackly humorous foreshadowing to an explanation for this though... and what up, Yellowjackets!)
Kirsten confronts Tyler about the inconsistency of his story, while he fidgets with Clark’s lighter. She stabs Tyler and leaves him for dead. She sleeps with S that night, who I’m pretty sure is an actor, or at least performer, which I’m only pointing out to say Kirsten, gurl, what did you literally just tell Charlie.
Tyler is rescued by Cody. Cody knows a woman near Pingtree who knows how to make antibiotics (PS - I have to wonder if this is Jeevan’s wife).
At Petoskey Station, the troupe splits. The Symphony’s actors heads onwards to Pingtree while the musicians head to Neuvo Santiago. Since they have last been there, the Professors have re-laid the golf course minefield, but the actors wind up making it safely through anyway because the Undersea kids have already stolen the mines back since, presumably with the help of Gil's grandkids. Kirsten retrieves Station Eleven from its hiding place in the desk, invites Gil back on tour with the symphony, and sleeps with Sayid, which I’m only pointing out because Sayid is also an actor. So for those keeping score, of the four people we know Kirsten “Doesn’t Date Actors” Raymonde, the actor, has dated/slept with, literally all are actors.
Sarah finally plays La Campanella, and Gil begins writing a letter that seems likely to me about his decision to rejoin the Symphony. Alex runs away on Kirsten’s horse Luli (Kirsten’s memory of Jeevan’s disappearance starts leaking into this, which is why there are wolf howl noises)
Supposedly without Tyler’s knowledge due to his injuries, Gil’s grandkids come back and suicide bomb the place, killing Gil and injuring Kirsten. Kirsten hides the piece of shrapnel in her hair as a weapon and tells Sayid where she’s going, ie to finish killing Tyler.
Brian, backed up now by the Goalie playing enforcer with a shotgun, intercepts the actors at the Petoskey Station rendezvous and bring them to the airport at gunpoint, where they are already holding/hosting the musicians. Sarah, heartbroken over Gil, drinking heavily, under significant physical strain and confronted with the fact an airport just off the route she’s always refused to leave has had fully working amenities for 20 years, has a massive heart attack.
Tyler blackmails Kirsten into giving him cover to get into the Museum of Civilization as an actor, because it has “something that belongs to him”. For want of other options, she goes along with him for now and he declares her part of the Undersea. They are ambushed by Red Bandanas in the woods – Cody is killed, Kirsten kills everyone else, and is then poisoned with the supposed Kolokol-1 (Kolokol’s exact composition is unknown, but it’s thought to be Fentanyl based, and if so would be treatable if she survived the initial poisoning. Its use also suggests to me the Red Bandanas try to take people alive, though unlikely for humanitarian reasons).
She fantasises about making it back to the apartment in Chicago and saying goodbye to Frank's remains. She recovers and they continue on their way. Tyler tells her the kids are unseen, but around and will emerge when signalled "by a torch".
Clark can’t get the airport's kids interested in his Karaoke machine so Elizabeth gives it to Alex, who sings Lisa Loeb's Stay, a song written 56 years ago from her point of view. Alex also has a walkie talkie to report back to Elizabeth, so we can assume they’re on very good terms.
Kirsten and Tyler are brought to the airport by Miles and forced to audition to prove they are who they say they are. Kirsten uses an exchange from Station Eleven because she can be confident he probably knows it, and he uses the opportunity to retrieve his internet device. Kirsten is brought up to speed by the Symphony, and is deeply alarmed that they've accepted the offer to, well, Stay.
Tyler sneaks Kirsten into the Skyways and shows Kirsten some of the routes around the airport he used to use to move around secretly, so that she can see Sarah. Sarah tells her she's dying, but makes Kirsten agree not to tell the Symphony she's dead until after the play. While Kirsten is doing that, Tyler plants explosives on a timer in the museum, using his handheld device to keep track of the count down and possibly to program the detonations themselves.
Kirsten, aware Elizabeth Colton was married to Arthur, aware Arthur had a son around her age with her, aware he provided her copy of Station Eleven to her, and that the only other person familiar with it is the guy who wanted to get back into the airport he came from, here's Elizabeth Colton is at the airport and puts everything together about who Tyler is in one swoop - "Hoooooly fucking shit."
Tyler destroys Clark’s monument just before the bombs detonate and blow up the tower, summoning the children. Clark arrives, escorted by Officer Goalie with her shotgun, and Brian knocks Tyler out.
At time of writing there is a single finale episode left to be broadcast, 1x10 - Unbroken Circle, and you can see promo photos from it here: https://www.spoilertv.com/2022/01/station-eleven-episode-110-season.html

I just love seeing Kristen being her because she is in her place of characters she wants in any film. She just looks so happy playing Abby in happiest seasons in this scene.
Seeing that glow in her expression and her smile -it makes me so happy. Don’t forget to watch it on Hulu. I’ve watched it so many times it’s so good. Kudos for Happiest Seasons being the highest ranking movie during the holiday season this year.
Not every relationship is perfect, but to the point is you can always feel so happy when you are with your significant other in general. 🥰

I can say soooooo much about this movie @happiestseason I was afraid at first because, let’s face it - lgbt+ have been so screwed before - but I had faith between the cast and director and they all came through!!!! Also, how adorable that @officialclead popped up lol way to go everyone! Now it’s up to the #lgbtcommunity to support the hell out of this #lgbtrepresentation in this movie and show studios we want more #queercontent so make sure you check out #happiestseasonmovie #happiestseason on @hulu and support our queer entertainers @officialclead #mackenziedavis #kristenstewart @therealvictorgarber @teganandsara @plazadeaubrey @instadanjlevy https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBaGrYM81t/?igshid=17fqge8nf2csj

Promo Photos for Station Eleven 1x10 - "An Unbroken Circle".
Quite spoilery photos and commentary to follow under the cut for the last ever ( :( ) episode of Station Eleven.
Additional warning for a gratuitous Mackenzie Davis gun show.

Notes -
* Mackenzie Davis' ARMS!!!! Fun to see her with her former Always Shine co-star, though it's hilarious they're supposed to be like... 20 years apart age wise, when the whole conceit of that movie depends on their similarities.
* Pretty sure that's the kid who supposedly orchestrated the suicide bombing in the red jacket, Haley, and Kirsten is showing her through an actual copy of Station Eleven for the first time.
* MIRANDA!!!! I don't know if that's in her hotel room, but she's wearing her work lanyard, so it is from roughly that point in time. I wonder if she's going to get her fairly iconic moment on the beach from the book.
* Clark is injured, his hands are bandaged and his arm is in a sling. If I had to guess he was hurt trying to salvage stuff from the museum?
* The Symphony perform at Severn City one way or the other, looks like.
* Is Alex playing Ophelia here or the Queen?
* Always good to see you, Dr. Eleven.
