Rez Dogs Analysis

I want to do a scene analysis of this episode because it was absolutely beautiful!!

BIG TW FOR SPOILERS

In this scene we see Fixico worried about Chebon, trying to apologize (in his own way) by telling him that their family is there to support him. wich is what he really needs and even admits to Mable earlier by saying that Fixico doesn't acknowledge that he doesn't have parents, and how much different their lives are because of it...

but Notice the LIGHTING!!

it's so very colorful and almost Halo like, Chebon even mentions it "Don't you look at me with your holier than thou aura" while getting mad and telling him to fuck off

Then we have the star people secen, on the car ride back home from the river Irene and Bucky are going on about how the relationship between Elders and Kids is severed by the school system.

Immediately the lighting in this scene is very different, devoid of color and almost soulless.

Mind you this is just my theory and observations as a veiwer!!

I believe the alien claiming to be Chebon's "ancestor" dosent appear because of the drugs but in fact a direct consequence of having a broken relationship with family. Throughout the episode we see him denying support whether directly (like with Fixico) or indirectly (with the school coach). It's obvious he doesn't want help but the people around him can tell he desperately needs it and want to be there for him as a community

I don't believe it is entirely his fault although he does deny help, to me he has a reason to! he feels ostracized by his community, being picked on by his friends, and (assumingly) growing up in boarding schools he didn't get those same family relationships as his friends, besides Fixico who he's currently mad at.

The star person that shows up to me is a metaphor for losing your way. Based on the first couple of episodes of the season this visit has effected him into late adulthood, believing in the star people and seeking them out. Chebon/Max is simply a lost soul, failed by the system, and it makes sense he found Bear when he did; Bear was also lost not just physically but spiritually, wanting to leave the reservation and shooing off his spirit guide. He returns to the reservation after the Deer Lady finds him, but not before she kills the Boarding school director/principal.

are we seeing the common theme this season? schooling and taking Indigenous peoples out of their community, and how traumatic this can be on Indigenous peoples. all I can hope is that Bear and the rest of the rez dogs can break this generational trauma.

If you read all this you're a champ um but ya that is my analysis. feel free to correct me if I'm in the wrong in any way, or add on and let me know what you think of this ep and show my dms are open!

also can you tell im OBSSESED W THIS SEASON

S3 E4 of Reservation Dogs was LEGENDARY and had so many golden moments but this one has to take the cake for me

Me too, Cheesy Boy

Elora will always be my reigning favourite but Cheese steals the show so often and I love him

Reservation Dogs continues to be one of the best shows being produced right now. This week's episode is an incredible, insightful, and hilarious meditation on the nature of generational trauma. We're shown the uncles' past struggles and perceived failures and they worry that Cheese will go on the same path as their lost friend, Maximus. They try to break that cycle but Cheese also helps them heal a little too and it's beautiful.

I love how after the Rez Dogs learned how to process losing Daniel, the show is focusing on other traumatic events of the previous generations but the difference is that the elders can still make amends. There's still time.

Although since Fixico told Willie Jack that he knows he's dying, there might be a time limit to it. I hope Maximus returns to the show soon.

what I also appreciate about reservation dogs (and its writers) is that they don’t high road you. Deer woman escaped from a residential school and she took a nun out on the way, then found the man who was abusing kids while she was there and killed him too. None of this “the best revenge is living a good life” shit or facing horrific violence by turning the other cheek

I only had the time to watch the newest Reservation Dogs ep now but what the fuck. Why do I care about Kenny Boy now.

Also unfortunately I'm going to need him and Big to become friends at the very least. They are too fucking funny together, but also... they weirdly complement each other? They're somehow on the same wavelength? I wasn't expecting that but I do love it.

#Reservation Dogs #reservation dogs spoilers #Big is my favorite character there's no denying it

[paris-geller-was-straightwashed]

okay, so, spoiler alert: I actually haven't seen the season final bc I'm canadian. in canada we get rez dogs from disney +, and for some reason, s3 came out weeks later then it did in the states. so I'm only on the episode with cheese camping with the uncles (which was a sweet episode!), but, because I can't help myself, I've been snooping in the tags anyway for ppl's reactions. and, unfortunately, I found out about jackie/bear.

honestly, I'm usually not surprised by forced m/f romances when it comes to tv/movies just bc of how often they happen. but, this to me is more crushing - because unlike all the other times, I was given a bit of hope. that's what makes this so frustrating. one, because of the dynamics with jackie/bear vs jackie/elora which I'll get into in a second, but namely - because these are good writers. that's what makes this show so special; all the relationships are well built and organic (or organtic, as big would say) and are properly developed along with the show. you can really see how the characters care and fit in with each other, bc the writers have cared about them and the dynamics. which is why jackie/bear makes no sense, as does the complete drop-off of elora and jackie's dynamic.

while I'm gaming for more queer relationships, I'm actually not against a m/f couple if they're developed well (take 'the good place', for example) and the characters genuinely care for each other. so, my question is, given all this and how well the writers have done with all the other relationships -

if jackie was inevitably going to end up with bear, why does her story start with elora?

granted, it starts with the whole rez dogs gang and bear getting beat-up, but we don't actually start to see jackie as a character until she starts interacting with elora. we have so many moments, where you can see, how jackie pays specific attention to elora. from the very moment jackie approaches her, saying she 'knows' that her friends aren't seeking escape as badly as she is and, quite literally, shoots her shot by saying that if elora changes her mind, she knows where to find her. giving elora her knife, asking about daniel, confirming with elora after getting home that they were going to try again for california together, texting her after the incident at the youth program with willie-jack to say sorry and ask 'what are you up to?', and especially that moment when she steps aside to tell elora to be safe going to cali with the rez dogs and elora assuring her they'd be back, these extra two seconds where you see a longing look.. there was such specific tiny details that would give off how much, maybe, jackie really cared about elora. perhaps now, we could just say this was all a showing of jackie being lonely and wanting friends, but if that's the case, then why not do this with bear???

that's my problem with the bear thing - there was no build up. sure, they had their moments, like the potato dance and falling asleep on each other and whatnot, but, maybe this was just me, it didn't feel especially significant? starting with the potato dance, I thought they were just building the pathway for jackie to be enveloped into the group and that this was the way to make up for jackie and those other kids hurting bear; it honestly wasn't giving me anything else. and even bear wasn't reacting any which way to jackie in the beginning, besides with animosity and maybe some nervousness. they really just didn't like each other. and even as the show went on, that didn't change much; they clearly became friendlier (ie jackie texting bear about his mom), but going into s3, we didn't get those special moments between like we did with elora.

straight up, jackie didn't pay half the attention to bear as she did elora, (besides maybe singling him out to beat him up but even that was with others). jackie singles out elora specifically, and even when they return home, continues to stay by elora and be invested in her and a possible friendship/relationship, showing it was never really about her needing elora's as a get-away ride. jackie is open and almost soft with elora; with bear she's resistant and gruff, and even when the two groups are cool with each other, they seem to just get on each other's nerves, ie the scene in 'friday.' yeah sure 'opposites attract' or whatever, but if that's what you're going to do, then there has to be some merit to it when it comes to writing a story (also, I am so sick of the 'boy and girl are constantly arguing and seem to hate each other hahaha bet they're gunna be married in ten years' trope). whichever one you ship, the big thing is that if it was going to end in romance, why was it written this way? elora/jack seemed so intentional that even I fell for it, and bear/jackie seemed hastily chopped together without any emotional weight or appeal to it - and yet it played out in the exact opposite on screen.

there's no point to this post. I'm just confused. I feel a lot of disappointment bc it's almost like these writers know better, know how to write organic relationships, and then while they appeared to be building one, suddenly threw it away for another without much structure behind it.

someone make it make sense.

edit: ppl in the notes saying there was no confirmation of jackie/bear, so just to clear this up, I'm, again, going on what I've HEARD. and what I heard, was that there's a scene where the rez dogs + jackie are saying goodbyes to the adults - at some point, bear lifts up his hair, exposing two hickies on his neck, and then - either before or after, it was unclear - when jackie is hugging rita goodbye, rita playfully whispers to her to 'go easy on his [bear's] neck' while jackie looks a bit embarrassed. once more, this is just what I've heard has happened, from multiple different posts, and frankly even if they don't announce the relationship by having them kiss or something, it's clear enough as the audience what we're suppose to pick up on.

#reservation dogs #rez dogs #reservation dogs spoilers #again if you ship jackie/bear like that's fine I really don't care live your dreams #it's not so much about which ship is better or whatever #it's more about my frustration with the show and how it was all written #like even if you like jackie/bear some of you gotta be kinda annoyed that there wasn't any actual scenes together #elora danan #bear smallhill #elora x jackie #for the record when I say 'relationships' here I mean any kind platonic or non

Reservation Dogs 03x09 - Elora's Dad

#reservation dogs season 3 #reservation dogs spoilers #reservation dogs #rez dogs #elora #gif #gif edit #reservation dogs gif

[chocobosdungeon2]

In Reservation Dogs, a theme that comes up frequently is an unspoken tension between generations and how they interact with things such as death, as in Mabel.

Elora is increasingly shaken by all the adults coming together to remember a woman she didn't know. And she was in a position where bringing up the version of Mabel she knew, an unaffectionate and sarcastic woman, seemed inappropriate. To exacerbate this, Aunt Teenie sees Cookie in her and leans on Elora despite them being practically strangers and expecting her to understand. She also gives Elora a glimpse into who she could be like, leaving the Village due to a loved one's death. Throughout the episode Elora is anxious about her feelings mismatching everyone else's. We've previously only had a small glimpse into Elora's life with Mabel as she tried to say goodbye to her in S1. Its not clear if Mabel was someone Elora somewhat hated or had otherwise complicated feelings about.

At the moment Mabel dies, Elora is completely overwhelmed. This is the second time shes seen the face of a deceased loved one in recent memory. Her Aunt Teenie hugs her, looking for mutual comfort that Elora is too in-shock to provide.

When she goes out for air to the backyard, where Bear previously met with his Spirit friend, she sees Mabel. And Mabel says goodbye and acts exactly how Elora remembers her, unaffectionate and sarcastic. Elora smiles and laughs and looks relieved. Mabel, in an indirect expression of love, gives Elora the space to love and remember her as she knew her, not the person she was before Cookie died.
