OJ Simpson: Dead or Alive?
Ambiguous Ending Leaves Room for Speculation
The highly anticipated second season of FX's critically acclaimed anthology series "Snowfall" has left viewers with a cliffhanger of epic proportions. In the season finale, fan-favorite character OJ Simpson's fate remains uncertain, leading to intense speculation among fans and critics alike.
Ricky vs. OJ: Similarities and Contradictions
Some viewers have drawn parallels between OJ's situation and that of Ricky, another character who survived a seemingly fatal encounter with the notorious street gang, the Saints. Both OJ and Ricky were targeted by the Saints, but both managed to escape with their lives. However, the circumstances of their encounters differed significantly.
Ricky survived by sheer luck and cunning, while OJ's survival is shrouded in ambiguity. The ending of the episode leaves open the possibility that OJ may have actually been killed by JJ, despite the lack of a conclusive death scene.
JJ's Focus Shifts: A Clue to OJ's Fate?
One potential clue that suggests OJ may have survived is the fact that JJ's focus shifted to Emerald. As Emerald attempted to escape on the TMZ motorcycle, JJ abandoned his pursuit of OJ to apprehend her. This could indicate that OJ was no longer a threat to JJ, either because he had died or because he had managed to escape.
Alternatively, some viewers believe that OJ's survival serves as a metaphor for the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. They argue that despite the odds stacked against him, OJ was able to overcome the threat posed by the Saints and emerge from the conflict alive.
Wife's Intuition or Biased Perspective?
The writer's wife's belief that OJ died by the hands of JJ should be taken with a grain of salt. While her personal opinion is valid, it may be influenced by her own emotional connection to the character. Ultimately, it is up to each individual viewer to interpret the ending of the episode and decide for themselves whether OJ Simpson truly survived.
