Lenny's Dance appreciation thread


Dang girl.
That dance to Nina Simone was sexy af.

Sexy AF indeed, Aubrey plaza is HOT.

It was almost Bond-esque, no? Thought it was a very cool, little montage. It's also disturbing to see just how easy and fun it was for her/YED to traipse through David's mind and memories and change them all up like that (at least I assume that's what they were showing).

And yes, she is quite sexy in this role. I've never been a fan of hers before, at all, but she's killing it as Lenny and really giving it her A game. Her and Dan Stevens are the shows MVPs (not that they don't all do a good job, though)!

Yes it totally reminded me of a Bond film credits sequence!
Did I also get a callback to 'Blue Velvet' when she laid on the medical table and took that whiff from the anesthesia mask?
Dennis Hopper vibes.
Plaza is having a ball with this role, acting like a non-human who is in a human body and does not understand the point of human emotions, but still rather delighted with physical senses and having fun with them.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a slight Blue Velvet reference considering how Lynchian the rest of the show can be....I can't say I thought of that myself, but I could see it.

And yes, this seems like the role of a lifetime for Plaza. She's been incredibly impressive so far! I wonder if she'll be around next season or not, hmmm.

Yeah, she's been very good indeed. They all lost their shit in the last chapter. Only Dan and Aubrey were at the height of it, IMO.
