was not aware Lost had a cultural monopoly on the concept of a mystery and forces some kind of ptsd response from people the second any other show dares to have any sort of ambiguity about what exactly is going on If a show isnt a perfectly simple and logical set of questions and answers it has failed as art, clearly. ANSWERS drat YOU ANSWERS IS ALL I CRAAAAAAVE

Why does the head crushing helmet allow the rapist to see? Like why not just leave them blind?

Before our Lord and Master Spess Snek showed up I was slightly annoyed. Mother and Father were amazing but the show made little sense. It was beautiful but felt lazy... then the Mother gave birth to milky snek. Father came and saw the baby snek drinking robo milk and they declared they had to sacrifice themselves by going to the core. If it had been ended there I would have said wtf and kept my opinion; instead they flew through the core to the other side of the plant, unharmed. Then the parents jumped out the back of the module Point Break style and we saw the tiny milky snek had become huge. The ship went kaboom and our serpentine Lord flew to the heavens majestically. That was when I realised I had not watched prestige serious sci-fi but something grander. The show is like Lexx or Cleopatra 2525: it’s silly and weird and full of milky fun but with Flying Spess Snek who is a devil or god and probably wishes somebody had named him Chauncey. I am left with a few questions: what does his voice sound like? Is it deep or maybe sound like somebody uncle Maurie who retired and moved to South Beach? Does someone have a gif or shot of our new Lord? Does our new Lord like boops?

If the higher ups at HBO do their job and listen to the advice from my letters, there's going to be a spin off show of androids just sucking on each others' milk.

Loved this show till the last half of the last episode, so it's still the best Ridley Scott thing in my lifetime* and infinitely better than Prometheus and Covenant *Guzikowski told Collider they have four or five more seasons planned, so I in no way expect that to continue, but hey, I'm more likely to watch season 2 than to re-watch Prometheus or Covenant, so still the best Ridley thing in a decade imo!

Anonymous Zebra posted:The finished product of Babylon 5 is certainly an impressive piece of continuous storytelling, but the story viewers saw was NOT the one planned out ahead of time. JMS definitely did have a story that he wrote the barebones of ahead of the show, but the final product did not resemble huge parts of that original plan. Part of this was because actors and actresses left the show for many different reasons, while other parts of his original show was untenable for cable television. Most of the first season (which was easily the worst one of the original four) sticks to his original plan, but after that things went off the rails and the writers had to scramble to make it all work. JMS is an excellent salesman, and he had to convince people that main characters (including the goddamn lead actor) leaving the show was all part of some big plan and was not a sign of a troubled production, so that's what he did. Yeah I tried to get through B5 and utterly failed. Whatever overall plan it had obviously went out the window by S2, and after that everything felt very rushed and unfocused. They kept wrapping up huge metaplot structures really cheap and quick, without having anything compelling to replace it with. The setting and cast weren't realized enough to really do decent stand-alone episodes ala star trek, so then they'd tack on some other silly galaxy threatening crisis - I gave up even half-watching it in S4. I have also failed to get through Raised by Wolves - just a complete goddamn derivative mess on all fronts. I liked Mother's character a lot, but that's about it. Read the spoilers and not coming back.

The ~companion podcast~ to this show is quite good. The show runner seems very aware of how callous the mithraics appear. His take is that if you put the batshit insane leadership of the people who destroyed their entire planet and doomed their species on a new virgin world, they are just gonna repeat the same mistakes and be in the same situation by lunch again. Basically, mithraic society is inherently self-destructive and incapable of survival and the show tries to portrait that.
