Bumping this thread because the new season started. And they killed Jon Hamm.

I already like this season. Melissa processing her murder is great. And I'm thrilled to see Kenneth Choi joining the cast.

I don't like how this show can use half the episode to make me feel like I want to turn it off because of how stupid it is, then it redeems itself for 10 minutes and then shits the bed again.

ChesterJT posted:My favorite thing in the show right now is how everyone, even his wife, still calls him Tandy even though he hates it and theres absolutely no reason to keep doing it. I called him Tandy when discussing the show and realized I couldn't remember his original name. Was kinda hoping Pat was dead because I'm very tired of movies and shows using the trope of "they're dead. Oh god where did the body go?" along with unconsciousness lasting minutes/hours. If it does last that long, you won't be doing anything productive for a while. Why didn't he move at all? If he's injured at all, you would think breathing would be labored enough to tell someone is alive. I know, it's just a vehicle to setup a Tandy conundrum but it's just so exhausted.

I forget. Don't dead bodies disintegrate? Or maybe the Bunker People are on cleanup detail.

At the start of last season they implied it was kind of a slow, meandering apocalypse, so there was time to take most of the bodies away.
|
# ? Oct 4, 2016 13:47 |

Yeah, they clearly had enough time to set up that creepy as hell giant field of bodies that Pat left Mike in last season, and there's been other references to how it seemed like it spread steadily enough that people were able to attempt to hunker down.

Then again, how much of Cher's body is still actually Cher's body.

Never saw this show before, but I watched the two latest episodes with friends, and was a little stunned at the turn-around toward the end of the latest episode. Given that it seemed all goofy-wacky-hijinx, when Tandy fessed up about his lousy attempt to stage killing Pat was to keep the other group member from having to live with the guilt of having actually killed him , I was like 'drat'. Is that the usual formula of the show? Goofiness with the ocasional serious moment peppered in? I'm willing to go back and start watching from the beginning.

Given that it seemed all goofy-wacky-hijinx, when Tandy fessed up about his lousy attempt to stage killing Pat was to keep the other group member from having to live with the guilt of having actually killed him , I was like 'drat'. It starts out with more of a misanthropic streak. It's more of an examination of what happens when Tandy spends a long period of time with no human interaction and then suddenly meets people. He's less of a goof and more of a giant rear end in a top hat. At this point, everyone in the group is used to him going to ridiculous lengths to sell a half-assed story (as evidenced by Gail's "I like to see where these go" line this week), but it's played in the first season as him being a deranged lunatic. It hints that it's not that he was a deranged lunatic *before* the world ended, but that being alone for so long broke him. I'll admit that I almost stopped watching it (only sticking around because my partner still liked it) because it occasionally goes right past cringe comedy and into horrified-face comedy. The second season works to establish that while Tandy, in general, will always make the worst possible decisions, he legitimately likes all the people in the group and means well by them. By about halfway through the season, it becomes an honest-to-god ensemble rather than a show focused on The Last Man On Earth (tm). It basically takes the irredeemable rear end in a top hat from the first season and redeems him. While I like the second season better than the first, the first is not bad by any means, in retrospect. It's just less close to what the show is now than Season 2, which does a *great* job integrating drama into a couple of its sideplots. The season 2 finale was really good.

The show is totally worth a watch imo, but the best parts of the show are the moments when Phil or his brother are totally alone

I'd say that tonal inconsistency is the most consistent thing about this show, well that and cringe humor.

It's also important to remember that all of these people watched everyone they ever knew or loved die horribly and they are all broken people as a result.

Them fleeing in panic with a crazed gunman on their heels would have even been a perfect excuse to split up and get some quality alone time hijinks but I guess that was too expensive.

Yeah, at this point they have to pay the core cast every episode, so having them not be in an episode is essentially a budget loss. It's also why in the second season they went back to everybody so quickly.

I feel like I missed something in the last episode or the one before. Phil was so adamant that psycho guy wasn't coming back, did he hide the body and sink the boat off-screen or is he just being stupid?

He put the body in the trash but then it disappeared and the boat disappeared as well.
