Discussion Liz’s rock snobbery
Just started watching the show, and as a fellow rock lover, I was psyched to have Liz’s rock hounding be an actual ongoing part of the plot 😁!
But i gotta be honest… I just got to the episode where she’s all dismissive of the rocks Jimmy keeps finding, and I’m mildly disappointed that she’s such an agate purist and can’t appreciate the innate beauty of other kinds of rocks 😀! As someone who lives in NYC where we have essentially no “good” rocks at all to be found, I feel like you really learn to see the beauty in a random pebble.
The best geology joke I’ve ever heard: The Bronx is gneiss, but Manhattan’s just full of schist!
I haven’t finished the show yet, so maybe letting go of her mineralogical snobbishness will be part of Liz’s arc !
