‘The Great’ Remains TV’s Most Delightful Carnival of Bloodshed and Sex No matter who someone is, you never expect them to fall through the ice at the end of a pivotal scene. But true to The Great’s “occasionally true” storytelling, show-Peter’s death goes in a completely different direction-which is just as well, since the exact circumstances of real-life Peter’s passing remain murky. The death itself is not that surprising many viewers likely knew going in (or have read at some point during the show’s run) that the real-life Peter III also met an untimely demise. This ridiculous and intentionally underwhelming farewell for an incomprehensibly powerful character whose global impact underscores the inescapable truth that he, like everyone else, is human, even if the branding convinced a few folks otherwise. Much like Logan Roy’s death in this year’s final season of Succession, Peter’s death is a triumph of anti-climax. Unspoken grief has lurked in this show’s shadows since Season 1, and with Peter’s death, it’s all finally coming out. Peter’s death plunges his court into a kind of emotional turmoil that no one, least of all his ambitious wife, Catherine, can process.
Phoebe Stone lives in Middlebury, Vermont.The Great Season 3, Episode 6-aptly titled “Ice”-highlights the command of tone that has always made The Great, well, great. The New York Times said of All the Blue Moons at the Wallace Hotel, "Stone's prose is poetic." The Boston Globe said of Sonata #1 for Riley Red, "Literature doesn't get much better than this." She has also written three novels, All the Blue Moons at the Wallace Hotel, Sonata #1 for Riley Red, and Deep Down Popular. Go Away, Shelly Boo! was chosen as an American Bookseller Association's Pick of the Lists. Phoebe's picture books include When Wind Bear Goes Dancing, What Night do the Angels Wander, and Go Away, Shelly Boo! Original art from When Wind Bear Goes Dancing was included in the Society of Illustrators' Original Art '97 show. "I was already working in sequences," she says, "but at some point I began to realize that I could combine my love for images and words in picture books for children." During that time, she received two Vermont Council on the Arts Fellowships in painting and exhibited her work in many museums and galleries all around New England and New York City, and influenced many New England artists with her unique, brightly colored narrative and metaphorical style. Before concentrating on creating books for children and young adults, Phoebe Stone had a very successful career established as a fine art's painter.
