If only they hadn't picked up J.D.


Honestly...picking up J.D. seems a little out of character for Louise. She is very cautious and sometimes paranoid...then she just basically says *uck it...we will give him a ride. Maybe it's just me...but if they hadn't picked him up...they probably would have made it!

Then it would have been a whole different movie...I for one enjoyed JD...Thelma got to have "real sex" before she died...

I agree. And actually aside from him stealing their money (which led to their robberies) I didn't think the character offered much to the plot.

Life isn't as convenient.
He was pleasurable to her for a moment.
Everything doesn't always serve as a guiding force to victory, or explain why you are experiencing whatever it is you're going through.
Life can be quite random.

Or they could've picked him, Thelma could've still her fun with him, and just no left him in their room alone with the large envelope of cash wide out in the open on next to the bed. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ Louise even thought the same because right up until that (literally) fatal mistake, she was actually very happy for Thelma.
