So I'm curious if anyone more culturally literate than me can offer a hand with this. In one of the two Parts Unknown specials this year they talked about how episodes were usually homaging a work or style. I wondered if anything specific was being referenced in that last episode, because drat was I into that one. Also if there was a source that had a guide or list to these, but I didn't find anything searching around.

Anyone remember the syfy show The Lost Room? I remember it being good and disappointed that it didn't spawn a full series. I smoked a lot of pot back then. Was it actually good?

I found a basic doctors report, which was more revealing than the info they put down so we had some idea of what to expect at least. It's really sad when the weight of a tumor hanging off a dog weighs more than the rest of the animal, somehow it doesn't seem to bother him. I just think the poor guy doesn't know any better and is somehow in really good spirits. With any luck, he'll have an incredible turn around and be a really good and healthy dog in the future. I literally had a clothes peg on my nose this morning, though.

I'm halfway through episode 7 of patriot and I don't want it to end. Season 2 has been amazing. I love the tighter focus, some of the convoluded sideplots in Season 1 that seemed to be meaningless until you found out they weren't 3 episodes later, whilst cute and appreciated from an overall storytelling perspective, made the show feel a little bloated at times. I also love that all the awesome bit part one-off characters from season one weren't one offs and got their own storylines. And those episode title screens. Wow. Does anyone have any Hi-Res screenshots of each of those? Or even a high quality .GIF album of them?

I think I agree with this, although I don’t think it affects the quality of the season. One example is the French shopkeeper - if we still had the pacing from season 1, it would have had the opening few minutes of the episode be dealing with his troubles and him applying for the firearm license, and then come back to it later, instead of us only finding out about it all via song. Like the Jaywick Sands scenes in s1.

Like the Jaywick Sands scenes in s1. Or even worse, he'd meet the french shopkeeper with no backstory whatsoever and then there would be a 30 sec scene making a police report and the first 30 minutes of the next episode would be his entire backstory climaxing with that scene. Like the puppeteer from Season 1.

I did too. Especially in retrospect, but it's stuff like that that makes it really hard to introduce the show to friends and family. I don't mind the backstory stuff, but the seemingly random stuff without context before you get the backstory can be really confusing. The backstories also halt a lot of forward momentum/story progression. Then again. gently caress other people.

The only thing in s2 I don’t really like is the visuals for the opening credits. I mean they’re ok I guess but sorta generic. But I suppose they’re less opaque than the first season’s which were just kinda “wtf what has this got to do with the show at all” at first, but I grew to like them.

To me that opening perfectly captured the show's major themes, especially at the end when Young John shoots the rifle

Well yeah but the primary thrust of the show is not “two brothers who are friends”. When that sequence opened up for me was when I realised it was most likely their dad behind the camera filming them doing dangerous poo poo and not preventing it, which is far more suitable to the show’s main themes.

I finished the second season of Patriot, and it was great as expected, but I'm not really sure where it stands compared to the first season. I thought it was darker but also kind of goofy sometimes in a way that didn't really appeal to me. I did get a little tired of all of the very convenient coincidences. Also, I sort of missed Milwaukee and the boring pipe stuff. But overall, it was still cool and it's just a unique show, so I appreciate it even if not everything worked for me. I'm assuming there isn't going to be a season three at this point. Both due to the very long wait for this one and it's lack of attention, and the way it ended. That seemed pretty final to me. Best parts: Shooting and releasing the accordion boy, the song about the grocery store owner, "the last time I did cocaine was when that guy was talking", the scene with the four penises, the fatass detective and his last split-second appearance, and Rob Saperstein! I still think my overall favorite scene from the show is either the really long rock-paper-scissors battle from the first season, or when Birdbath tells his scary story on the hunting trip. Birdbath is cool, I'm glad he got more attention this time around. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Nov 16, 2018 |

They definitely set up for a season 3 with the Leslie stuff in the finale, but otherwise tried to make it feel as done as they could. I’ve already made my peace with the idea that this will be the end of it but I really really would love one more to finish it off.

Pretty sure no one cares, but I've just been subjected to the newest Murphy Brown revival episode, and good poo poo this show is terrible. No loving idea what subtlety is, Murphy is always right, every joke is delivered with the gentleness of a sledgehammer, and for a show that spends so much time hyping up how much Murphy Brown is an incredible, hard hitting reporter, they're too scared to name Fox News or the like. I AGREE with a lot of the show's views, but this is just rear end.
