The tonal shifts of ‘Wynonna Earp’ never fail to whip lash me with it’s back and forth drama and comedy.
Especially in the 4th season where they just drop f-bombs like it’s nobody’s business even in scenes where it’s not even necessary and not expected.
For example: You have this scene in the final episode of the show, ‘Old Souls’, where Waverly and Nicole are Mulder and Scully-ing with investigating Waverly’s haunted wedding dress. Finishing off each other’s sentences, seamlessly bouncing off each other… and you can see exactly why they’re getting married.
Then suddenly Nicole drops an f-bomb out of nowhere. I was like “Well, that didn’t happen in The X Files. That I can recall...” 😂 The scene goes like this:
WAVERLY: “My purgatory historical kills file actually has a buttload of weddings that ended in bloodshed. When your town has forty times the murder rate of a normal borough, you don't always connect the dots.”
NICOLE: “Here's another one. 1968. The bride axed her groom to death on the foot of the chapel right after she'd-“
WAVERLY: “-Just axed her family to death? Then killed herself?”
NICOLE: “Slit her throat.”
WAVERLY: “With the axe?!”
NICOLE: “Wanna see her beautiful wedding dress?”
WAVERLY: “Ooh, wait, don't tell me. Vintage lace, inlaid sapphires in a heart?”
NICOLE: “Bingo.”
WAVERLY: “So, we know the dress is haunted, so it's gotta be the dressmaker, right?”
NICOLE: “There's an old wedding announcement. Check this out.
*sits next to Nicole to look at the laptop*
‘The bride will be wearing a creation from Cursey's Bridal Boutique, designed by Ms. Brigitte Hogback.’”
WAVERLY: “That's definitely the weirdo who sold me the dress. Also!
*runs back to the investigation board*
First wedding massacre, 1922. Ah! A Miss H, left at the altar, killed her guests.”
NICOLE: “Well, that is a terrible way to be dunked on.”
WAVERLY: “Awful enough to want to destroy every future wedding in town?”
NICOLE: “Baby, if you left me at the altar, I would fսck shit up. I might kill Nedley.”
WAVERLY: “Nicole!”
NICOLE: “I'm kidding. I think.”
WAVERLY:
*gets all flirty, walks back to Nicole smiling*
“What else would you do to keep me around?”
For a moment it was like watching the The X Files but I’m fairly certain there were no f-bombs in that show. I mean from what I’ve seen of it I hadn’t heard any. But ‘Wynonna Earp’ just drops f-bombs every other scene.
It just completely took me out. In a very funny way. But yes, Waverly and Nicole were very Mulder and Scully in that little scene. It was adorable to watch how they were just in the same mental space one moment and the next things suddenly got spicy between them. I’m the same. Mental stimulation gets me going. If someone can stimulate me mentally, they suddenly have all the power to stimulate me sexually. Intelligence is sexy. Especially when it’s two females.

F-bombs away
In his New Yorker review of the movie “Cocaine Bear” Anthony Lane asks,”Why does the whole cast, including the kids, swear so freely and so loudly.”
Without starting a debate over whether today’s culture is coarser than it used to be, I can only offer this answer to Anthony Lane: Because that’s how things are now; that’s where our entertainment tastes have taken us.
If you watch anything other than network TV and Bob Ross, you know what I mean. A few examples that come to mind: “The Last of Us”, “Slow Horses” and, the very F-bomb factory, “Succession.”
I learned in a writing class that the problem with tossing F-bombs every other word is not the vulgarity of it, it’s the banality. Expletives - F-bombs included - can be effective, but overuse diminishes their potency. The powerful F-bomb becomes defused.

Going back to a pattern I made in the beginning was really weird! These came out much faster and smoother than I remember the old ones being.
