I am invested in the show. I'd rather trust that the show runners know what they are doing and go on the journey they want to share with me. That having been said, I still am questioning just what the hell I am watching. Which might be the point. It reminds me of the film Cookie's Fortune. Which also featured Liv Tyler. Odd. Anyway, I was watching it and it felt painfully slow. At one point I realized that was a deliberate pacing choice and I accepted that people who know what they are doing got to together to make a thing. Then I enjoyed the hell out of a skillfully made movie. I hope this is similar.

This show is just The Matrix. Everyone is just in a suspended animation reality but they just don't know it. There was a minor power failure in the grid and that caused some people pods to break and go offline yanking them from the world.

This was the biggest fence sitting show I've ever seen in my life. Like 50% of the people who watched the first few episodes declared they hated the show and never watched it again. Vs the other 50% who all said the exact same thing: "I THINK I hate it, but I'm not sure yet. I'll have to keep watching". I don't know a single person who "Loves" the show. They either think they hate it but arent sure yet, or they think its ok, but arent sure if its worth watching next season yet. I've never seen such fence sitting on a TV show before.

I just got caught up with the show and I'm actually beginning to empathize with some characters now, and it's keeping my interest a lot more than around the episode 5 mark when I nearly bailed. Plus Nora's rear end and titties were fantastic.

I like the show, I think it's one of the best shows on right now. I just give no shits about trying to convince a bunch of babies why they should watch it even though it's not Lost. P.S. I like Liv Tyler.

I don't know if I love this show, but I think it's incredibly underrated and thought-provoking. This show... Goes outside of my comfort zone. Does that make sense? I always have a certain degree of trepidation before I watch an episode of this show, because I'm never sure if something is going to hit slightly too close to the mark for me. It addresses and deals with certain subjects in an indirect manner that I find very thought-provoking. I only really got to this point of really liking and committing to the show after 'Guest', though. I was a little bit on the fence before. But that was one of the best hours of television I've seen in a *very* long time.

Its had a couple of weak episodes but overall the show is good, and most of the weak episodes were just setting up later good stuff.

This show does have a loving amazing intro. One of the best I've ever seen. I do kinda wish it escalated in tempo a bit and got more dramatic as it went on though. But as it is, it's still a loving great intro. Oh and Black Sails also has a phenomenal intro as well. loving amazing.

Ashrik posted:I don't they have so much of an end game as they are an "everything is bullshit after the not-rapture" kind of expression of grief, depression, or nihilism. I haven't read the books or anything, and I'm sure that they'll be explored more at some point in time. I'm sure I don't have a good understanding of the whole thing, because that seems kind of juvenile. But like juveniles, I can see them working themselves up with a series of more antagonistic stunts until they do something well and truly hosed up. I'm betting they ordered those truckloads of Real Raptured Dolls and are going to dress them up and leave them in the homes of their loved ones, or burn them in effigy on their lawns.

My reservations about this show have disappeared over the last two episodes. It's getting a lot of smalll payoffs for things it set up earlier in a way that LOST didn't.

Fuckin Patti man....whats the point of being a martyr when no one UNDERSTANDS what the hell you are being martyred for? The GR are like those Halle Bopp kooks with better style. I think it'd be cool if, say, heaven took their 2%, now Hell gets to take their 2%, then Armageddon over whats left.

Turned out that it was easy to make a "show about nothing", as long as that show was a comedy. Seinfeld will forever be known as the program that showed us how that could be done. But it would take nearly two decades before a final, entertaining, serious dramatic form of the "show about nothing" could finally be released to American TV audiences.

Darth Ballz posted:Fuckin Patti man....whats the point of being a martyr when no one UNDERSTANDS what the hell you are being martyred for? The GR are like those Halle Bopp kooks with better style. At this point, I'm beginning to think that the Kevin POV represents an unreliable narrator and that the things Kevin apparently sees and does do not represent an accurate account of events. Cause if we're really supposed to believe that Patti killed herself to almost but not quite make a point to Kevin, well, that's pretty loving retarded. Alternately, if the writers intend her "martyrdom" to be taken at face value, then either the writers are attempting to convey the idea that Patti is loving retarded and can't even martyr herself in an effective or expedient manner... or the writers believe the viewers are loving retarded and will simply accept the idea that "Patti is now a martyr in the grand Judeo-Christian tradition" because it had some of the superficial trappings of the aforesaid.

The Dog killer dude was definitely talking to voices in his head as he stormed out of the cabin, ala Garvey Sr. I got my money on them being a suicide cult, and the M.D. plan a way for them to get the town to go into a rage and martyr them. The GR seem to really want to be remembered... what better way than getting martyred and making the national news?

so how full of poo poo was Patti when she talked about how Gladys was cool with being killed and that the GR was responsible? Cuz Gladys was straight up abducted off the street with no witnesses and begged for her life the whole time. Did she have second thoughts, did the GR do it against her will, or did the GR have nothing to do with it at all? Although if they did do it, the brief flashes that Laurie had of Gladys getting stoned during that episode make a lot more sense since she could've actually been there herself. Another good episode though. I'll play ping pong with you, twins
