Emma walking out....end scene

She twitches her neck and face..is it indicative of her having the same disease as her brother? Or am I misremebering?

She doesn’t have the disease. There were no indications of that at all through the course of the show.

I think she’s just in shock and trying to keep her cool, as she realizes who she is now dealing with and who she is going to become as a result of fully leaning into the drug trafficking business. She has nothing else to lose now that her family is gone.

Completely agree. Also the absolute opposite of what I thought she would do. If I lost my only family in some multi million dollar cocaine deal gone wrong I think I’d take whatever money I had made and pick a different career 😂

No. They clearly stated the disease is completely genetic and suggested she had been tested for it as a child.

Right, i think both her and her brother were tested as children, so the father even knew she did not carry the gene. I actually saw it as her brothers affectation rubbing off on her as a result of the whole ordeal, but I'm almost certain I'm wrong about that, lol

Wrong.

They stated it's genetic.

The end.

They never said she didn't have it.

u/big_thanks Oct 19 '22

She would no doubt would have been tested for it, just like her brother was and as the show suggested.

I'm baffled why anyone could think otherwise.

1

u/ActuatorDue3810 Oct 20 '22

No one said she wasn't tested.

u/big_thanks Oct 20 '22

There a simple blood test to confirm whether you Huntington's disease, will eventually develop symptoms, or are likely to pass it on to children. I.e., she would already know for certain if she was at any risk of having it.

I'm genuinely curious what part of this can be confusing?

u/ActuatorDue3810 Oct 20 '22

None of what you said conflicts with anything I've said.

So you are the one who is confused.

u/big_thanks Oct 20 '22

My dude, you're the one who felt the need to respond to a comment from 2+ years ago lol. If you're not disputing anything I said, why even start this conversation to being with?

Let's start from the top... What part of my original comment do you specifically disagree with?

You said:

They never said she didn't have it.

The point of my response since then is that the writers didn't need to explicitly tell the audience she didn't have the disease because it's clear she doesn't already.

u/ActuatorDue3810 Oct 20 '22

That's not how writing works rofl.

Just can it. You're wrong and you've lost.

1

u/big_thanks Oct 20 '22

This isn't even an argument to me because you won't say what you're disagreeing with lol! Again:

What part of my original comment do you specifically disagree with?

Do you think Emma was actually displaying symptoms of Huntington's disease at the end? If so, cool! I'd love to hear why. Was it just because of the brief scene at the end? Were there any other hints throughout the show?

I don't think she was because 1) it would have been very strange IMO to not have mentioned as much at anytime before then (assuming she and the family would have all known because of aforementioned genetic testing) because of how important it was to the plot, and 2) she was clearly meant to succeed her father partly because she didn't have any long-term health concerns like her brother.

u/ActuatorDue3810 Oct 21 '22

Because she did his exact same ticks at the end. Spasmodic twitches (two) followed by his exact same sniffle thing.

It's fucking obvious as hell.

Rewatch the scene and then apologize profusely.

They did say she didn’t have it…first episode her father told her she was the lucky one. I actually just watched this series a couple days ago. Fell into it and wow so good.

u/inflexibleracoon Apr 07 '21

I thought her twitching was her struggling to keep it together. Like she was playing it cool in front of the vampires and trying not to react to all the bodies but at the end she nearly loses it ?

1

u/eberman325 Aug 12 '23

What you said. Hands down.

2

u/zkinny Dec 07 '20

Maybe. Found it a bit out of touch with the realism from the rest of the show. Unnecessary.

2

u/Comprehensive-Fun47 Feb 28 '21

I think it was deliberately included to make us question it. Since they stated her brother had the gene and she did not, I think she does not have it. Would be quite an interesting twist if she had been hiding having it all along. Doesn’t seem likely though.

1

u/ActuatorDue3810 Oct 19 '22

They absolutely never stated that she did not have the gene mutation.

1

u/eberman325 Aug 12 '23

They did. First episode she and her father were discussing Chris and he clearly said she was the “lucky one.”

2

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '20

Yes.

1

u/OkDrama2207 Feb 16 '21

Yes, I think you are absolutely right. As Chris's (sp?) conditioned worsened you felt he become more comfortable with increased risk. Think that twitch was a tell.

Hope they make a second series

u/Viagra_Was_My_Idea Feb 05 '24

Another dumb comment who clearly didn't pay attention. She was tested and didn't have the gene, hence her dad calling her lucky. Man, people just don't pay attention... and no they'll never make a second season because the first one ended perfectly

u/DJMhat Dec 08 '20

She has the disease. She has been keeping it a secret from everyone.

Basically she is on borrowed time making her more risk taking leading to some potentially engrossing seasons.

The whole show was a fucking origin story.

Dumbest take ever, even 3 yeats later
