This then causes Curly to lash out and threaten Jud (with his aforementioned cyberbully suicide anthem), which in turn unleashes Jud’s dark, violent side. However, they are both prideful and, frankly, assholes to each other, which causes Laurie to attend a dance with her servant (“number one farm hand”) Jud out of spite. Set in the late 1800s, before Oklahoma gained statehood, it tells the story of cowboy Curly and his budding romance with Laurie, a farm girl. So let’s look at why! For those who are unfamiliar with the musical, or who maybe haven’t seen it since they were a small child, here is a quick run down of the plot: The writers of this show really want to make it absolutely clear that this musical is important to the episode. One of the first characters we meet is named Judd (Don Johnson), and they just named their episode a reference to the song “Pore Jud is Daid.” That is a bold move! And, surprise surprise, things do NOT go well for him!Īside from the title, one of the first scenes set in “current time” depicts two of our leads, Judd and his wife Jane (Frances Fisher) attending an all black production of Oklahoma. Right off the bat, Watchmen is giving us a warning, in the damn title.
Also the scene in musical is played for LAUGHS, which is WILD. Yes, you read that right! The “hero” of the musical Oklahoma! is a piece of shit and the original cyber bully. The pilot episode is titled “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice.” This phrase is actually one of the final lyrics to the song “Pore Jud is Daid.” Which is sung by the musical’s lead Curly, to his romantic rival Jud, trying to bully him into committing suicide.
