Phil finally dealing long term. Also unrelated but apparently they film next to a dildo factory and everyone went on a tour.

I thought it did some important things with Phil not-Tandy as a character, plus I liked the ongoing battle with the wire.

It was okay, but not as good as just Phil & Carol.

I loved the first two episodes of Season 1, and hated the rest. Is Season 2 better?

The more they show of the group, the less and less I give a poo poo. Really did work better when they were on their own.

I thought the episode was fine and actually exploring some of what goes on inside Alpha Phil's head was an interesting change of pace.

I agree that the show has been best when they were on their own but can a show sustain that for an entire season much less multiple seasons? I would argue not. The show seems to agree.

I didn't mind the show being about the group in the first season and the same goes here. I'm comfortable with the show being about how the group decides, if they decide, to rebuild society while we slowly learn everyone's probably as awful as Tandy.

Maybe only awful people survived? Although there probably would have been more if that was true. emanresu tnuocca posted:I thought the episode was fine and actually exploring some of what goes on inside Alpha Phil's head was an interesting change of pace. It was interesting how, despite being a total rear end about it, he was mostly right. Everyone else was just sitting around expecting things to be fine/work normally while he was constantly fixing stuff.

At the very least they could move on to different places, run into new wacky hijinx along the way, maybe lose someone to doing something stupid, and finding someone else. Them all hanging out in one mansion together is kind of lazy. How about they try and take a huge yacht to Hawaii while running into his brother who ejected an escape capsule into the Pacific and get lost and end up on Easter Island then end up in South America and getting lost in the Amazon. Just go off the rails and have fun with an empty world.

I'm still kinda wondering what city Phil 2 is thinking of moving to where there will be more resources for them to use. Also, why at least one of them is not just living in the house that's already hooked up with power and everything instead of trying to hook a waffle iron up to a non-working generator.

Astro7x posted:Yeah... I didn't quite understand where he would go. Well, if his car has a diesel engine he still has 1-2 years to use that. Their situation is not really that dire at the moment but I think Phil 2 just wants to try to set up a self sustaining compound somewhere where they have easy access to clean water and farmland before the diesel goes bad as well.

While Malibu is way better than loving Tuscon, it's still quite uninhabitable. And having the constant smell of whale carcass in the air isn't really helpful either. It makes me wonder why they moved there in the first place. It was clearly a planned action, since Melissa left a note. Actually it's quite clear what happened: Phil suggested a sensible place like an apple orchard in Wyoming and he got overruled because those places are way to boring and don't have luxury housing. I am not actually sure if apple trees survive several years without care, but some kind of tree should be able to. In any case, living on a farm probably a better option than Malibu.

I think they could easily have made this show focus on Carole and Phil roaming around the country looking for other survivors and every week or so run into someone new that either died due to their ineptitude or left them them because they were unbearable. It would have been a lot more fun and we would still know those characters as well as we know the other characters that have been around for 2 seasons now.

I wondered this, as well. Seven people could live comfortably in what seems like a decent-sized two story house, just like a post-apocalyptic Brady Bunch!

It feels like they glossed over something in regards to the solar panel house. Like it is way too small or too far away from Gordon's house or something.

I like the show but there's so much wasted potential like it has already been pointed out on this page, maybe they just don't have the budget and that's why they stay in that boring house.

I liked this episode quite a bit. They're not afraid to play around with the roles the characters play- though I would like to see some more characterization of the three non-Carol women.

Personally, I don't mind it being really character-driven. The writers are using the device of a post-apocalyptic setting to tell their stories, rather than making the setting the main character, and I'm fine with that.

I didn't know there was an episode last weekend as well, so now I'm caught up with the last two episode. I'm glad they were checking in on Tandy's brother, even though there hasn't been a payoff from it yet.

Yea I watched the trailer last week and saw a glimpse of him and thought "gently caress, they just spoiled that he's going to get in contact with them next week that should have been a big surprise!" but instead it was just catching up and watching him go slowly (more) insane which I liked - good contrast of everyone coming together as a "family" and him stuck up in space totally alone

I totally thought Phil was gonna get in touch with him playing with a radio on his way to Canada. Interesting that now Tandy is basically one of the "best" people in the group.
