I’ve decided I’m team the ring is just for appearance I’m looking at the bigger picture now
whoever is in charge of continuity on the pitt must be having a fucking aneurism every time patrick gets photographed or filmed like i just know they want to BURN that damn ring
To add to my ramble about Frank Langdon’s ringgate2026
We’ve established there was time between the video (no ring) and the offical IG photos ( with ring and dad bracelet) correct ?
So my next point is that they shoot in chronological order
They began filming season 3 sometime in mid June ( June 16th is the day I found online) and these cast photos were taken on July 8, almost a month later
If they follow the typical episode a week filming schedule they would have filmed 2-3 episodes at this point.
Therefore I hypothesize that within episode 1-3 it it revealed the truth of the Langdon household ( divorce, separation what have you ) so when they started filming for either episode 3-4 ( what I assume is being filmed this week of July 6-July 11th) then it would make sense that he ( Dr. Frank Langdon) is now single ( or separated) hence no ring as revealed in episodes 1-3.
HOWEVER !
Since they wanna keep things under wraps it’s making more sense that they threw the ring and bracelet on to stick with the current ending of season 2 ( Frank and Abby still being married). As to keep major plot points being discovered and drawing viewers in for the show’s premiere in Jan 2027. As well as Mr. Patrick Ball keeping both hands in his pockets to not show said ring or bracelet when interviewed by the social media team for their IG post.
The Emmy nominations came out at 8:30am PST, the typical show begins filming between 7:00am - 8:00am meaning they would have either had 30 to 60 mins of filming down before the announcement.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that Dr Frank Langdon ( played by Patrick Ball) was around the nurse’s station the morning of July 8th for the Emmy nominations, which were announced at 8:30am PST, with his fellow cast and crew WITHOUT the wedding ring and then was instructed by someone; PR manger, social media team, etc., to keep the reveal of the Langdon’s divorce/ separation from the watchful eyes of the fans and not to add to any spoilers. To further this claim none of the other cast in the video seem to have any added accessories between the video and the photos, THUS it was added for the official photos.
The defense rests your honor.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Man every reader w hudson lately is just saying there’s intense jealousy towards him from external sources i need him to burn some protection candles asap!
He needs to get that damn ring back
Looks like DD's back in his studio this episode.
Weekly Summary October 20, 2023
Hi peeps, lots of stuff happened this week, so I'm going to do my weekly summary instead of individual posts or answering individual Asks. This is a LONG one, so grab a drink, and dive right in for: Ringgate, Sam and the City, and Sam and open letter and follow up statement. Also, starting tomorrow, I'll be off for the weekend, my man surprised me with a trip away to the beach before the weather starts to cool down.
Anyhooo, let's start off with something light. #ringgate. For different reasons some fans get verklempt when Sam wears jewelry, and panties definitely get twisted or wet, depending on who you are, when Sam dons RINGS. Sam wore the 2 rings he's been wearing lately during his appearance on Jimmy Fallon a few days ago. Sidenote: Samshine is EXTRA Samshiny is in this pic. Say what you want about him, but the man is BEAUTIFUL 👇
So, of course, Extreme Shippers are convinced Sam is "finally" wearing his wedding rings because he's married to Cait. Um, one small problem, Caitriona Mary Balfe is already married to Tony McGill. Some Non-Shippers get excited to see him wear rings because maybe it makes them think of when Sam WILL get married. There is something about a man wearing rings. I find it sexy as well. But, alas, these rings are on the right hand and Scottish people wear wedding rings on the left hand. Also, Sam's definitely NOT married to anyone since we've seen him linked to several women lately.
For the people who had doubts the copper looking ring is an Oura ring, it definitely is. Here is what the two rings most likely are. The silver one I'm told by some of the Team is 👇
And here is the Oura ring he's wearing, most likely in Rose Gold. It's basically a ring with a computer in it to keep track of physical stuff, the way a fitbit or Apple watch does. Seems EXACTLY like something Sam would wear 👇 So, let's put #ringgate to rest now, please.
On to WHERE in New York had Sam been hiding. Everyone thought he had left and that his recent appearance on Jimmy Fallon had been taped earlier, until we saw THIS fan pic with him. 👇
My New York sources said he had not been seen at his usual hotel The Crosby. I'm putting out the name now just because EVERYONE knows that's where he stays in New York. He used to stay at The Bowery Hotel, but the last few years it's been The Crosby. None of the usual pic and autograph hounds got pics with him, so we assumed he wasn't staying there. All those hounds have contacts at the different hotels and restaurants frequented by celebs, so they would have been alerted to Sam staying there. Soooooo, if he wasn't at The Crosby, BUT he was in New York, THEN the possibilities are. He's aware too many fans know he stays at The Crosby, so he's switched hotels. Or he decided to rent an Airbnb instead. Or he stayed with friends. Or he does have a lady friend in New York, like some think, and he stayed with her. Who knows...but I'm sure we will find out...
Onto more serious matters. I'll preface this by saying I have made it a policy on my blog to NOT talk about anything political and to also not talk about any world events happening, which are upsetting. This blog is my escape from real life. So, I want to continue on that path. But I'm making an exception this time because based on the DMs an Anon Asks I'm getting there is some confusion as to why Sam posted this message on his social media. I just want to give people some clarity on it. And them move on. So, Sam posted this. 👇
It was in response to Sam and other mostly UK celebrities signing an open letter asking Israel to cease fire on Gaza, and explicitly claiming Pro-Palestine sentiments. If you click below, you will find an article on it and then keep scrolling down and you can read the actual letter. That's the letter Sam signed. A few days later, he clarified his feelings and regretted signing it because it doesn't represent fully what he meant. 👇
“We support Palestinian liberation and call for an end to the killing and harming of all civilians,” reads a letter signed by Nan Goldin, Ce
Here's the thing the history of Israel/Palestine is LONG and COMPLICATED. And most people haven't done enough research to know it fully. Most people go by sound bytes they see as they scroll social media. Or they give in to confirmation bias based on their political party, nationality, ethnicity, religion, affiliations etc.
I'm not going to get into the specifics because all of the information is easily accessible if anyone TAKES THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND READ THE HISTORY, both of Israel and Palestine...with an OPEN MIND.
The reason Sam got himself in trouble with signing the open letter and then the subsequent damage control message is that he didn't take the time to do his research. In extremely simplistic terms: Most of the UK, and in fact, most of Europe has traditionally been Pro-Palestine (except for European Jews, of course). The U.S. has traditionally been Pro-Israel and are allies. Up until recently that is. Due to the divisiveness in the US since the Trump era, Conservatives (Republicans) in the country became even more Pro-Israel, which then meant Liberals (Democrats) had to be the opposite. The rhetoric that Israel was the oppressor and Palestine was the oppressed grew louder. You had to pick one or the other. You couldn't take a step back and look at the history of the Jews being oppressed pretty much since Moses kept trying to get back to The Promised Land aka modern day Israel and Palestine. Or the Palestinians also being oppressed and their lands shrinking year by year.
The Jews have always been fucked over throughout history. And the Palestinians have always been fucked over, but especially since 1948 when modern day Israel was created. So, then, TERROR GROUP, Hamas decides, we're gonna fuck you over, Israel, REALLY BADLY, and engaged in some of the worst atrocities in recent times. No matter what anyone's beliefs are, when you saw what Hamas did (I'm not going to write the details because it's a horror show we all already know about) EVERYONE in the world should have said "Not today, Satan, not today," and DENOUNCED their savagery.
Hamas is NOT the Palestinian people, Hamas' ONLY goal is to terrorize and destroy. First the Jews, then their allies. Look up in the sky if you're in the US, one day a missile will be coming your way if they aren't stopped. After Hamas committed their savagery, Israel, understandably attacked back. They defended themselves from TERRORISTS trying to literally annihilate them. That was NOT the time to chant Free Palestine or write Free Palestine open letters. Just like after the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement came to the forefront in the US, but you had people countering "All Lives Matter!" Yes, all lives matter, but RIGHT NOW we're focusing on Black Lives, ya dopes. Breast Cancer awareness month. But what about Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer, they're important too?! Yes, but JFC, FOCUS people. Should Palestine be free from Israeli occupation, should they have more land? OF COURSE. But when the world SAW what Hamas did to HUMAN BEINGS, regardless of nationality or religion, the ONLY thing that should have been chanted is "DESTROY HAMAS." Hamas fucked things up for Palestinians, not just Israelis. And because of Hamas' actions, now Palestine is getting destroyed by Israel. And then Hamas will counter attack. And it will go on and on. There should be NO sides. There should only be ONE side, the HUMAN side.
So, when celebs seemingly "pick" a side, especially without considering the repercussions, they will get pushback. I love Sam and he's a good man, but he missed the mark on this one. Not through malice, but rather, naivete and ignorance. By cosigning that letter he didn't realize he wasn't simply signing a Pro-Palestine letter, he was simultaneously signing an Anti-Israel letter, Anti-Jews letter. And the reality is he alienated his Jewish fans, his more US conservative fans, his more centrist fans, assorted other fans...and I'm just going to state facts...he forgot WHO runs Hollywood, has always run Hollywood, and will always run Hollywood, including people who run Starz, as well as WHO are some of his agents, and publicists, hence the "better late than never" damage control quasi apology.
If you're wondering about MY stance: I feel badly for the Palestinian people and I feel badly for the Israeli people. There, that wasn't so hard to say, right? You CAN be Pro-Palestine AND Pro-Israel aka Pro-Humans. In the end, ALL HUMANS want the SAME basic things: food, clean water, shelter, safety and peace for their loved ones. To pick sides is to say that one set of people is more important than the other. And that can't be true. It isn't true. I pick the Human Side. Simple as that.
*big long sigh* Okay, peeps, you can leave comments, but I'm not going to answer them because I'm TIRED now. Also any hate comments, antiSemitic or antiPalestineMuslim comments and they will be deleted, and you will be blocked.
I'll check in later today. And then I'll be off until Sunday evening. Of course, still feel free to DM me and send Asks. I'll answer when I can.
Peace, people, PEACE.
Ich: "Einen attraktiven Mann entstellt nichts!"
Joko's neue Brille: "Hold my beer."
Stabil genug um diese Staffel zu überleben sieht sie auch noch aus.
😂😭😂
Bonus: Nahaufnahme vom Ring! "BOOM."
Habe eben deinen # Ring Gate repost gesehen und bin direkt wieder super invested 👀 hatte das so interpretiert, dass sich Anon auf Joko‘s Ring bezog - also dass man da die Anfangsbuchstaben der Familienmitglieder erkennen kann. Ich sehe da nämlich auch ein J, ein L, ein M und ein O (D?). Wie auch immer will ich unbedingt wissen, wann und wieso Joko auf die Idee kam, sich einen ähnlichen Ring wie Klausi zu besorgen 😩 I need to know what’s going on for my ✨ mental health ✨
Huhu lieber anon!
Ich hab den Post so verstanden, dass es sich auf Klaas' Family bezieht und da ist dann ein B für Bent (heißt sein ältester Sohn so?) und D für Doris, also so ineinander geschlungen.
Und dass Doris den gleichen Ring in kleiner trägt, wurde auch berichtet. Daher würde das so als "Familienwappen" passen, und auch, weil Klaas ja den Ring von Doris geschenkt bekommen hat.
Meine Theorie: Klaas hat einmal diesen Ring UND einen Siegelring, der so ähnlich aussieht und den er von Joko bekommen hat (so nach dem Motto, wenn deine Frau dir so nen goldenen Klunker schenken darf, darf ich das auch), und Joko hat das Gegenstück dazu an seinem Finger. Ich mein, wir haben jetzt schon öfter gesehen, dass sie gleichzeitig diese Siegelringe tragen.
Mein headcanon / Verständnis aktuell wäre dann nämlich: Klaas und Joko tragen ihre Eheringe und an der anderen Hand ihre Siegelringe.
Dass Jokos Siegelring was mit Klaas zu tun hat, ist für mich irgendwie selbstverständlich.
Schreibt gerne eure Gedanke zum Ring gate dazu!
