Ape Gone Insane posted:Pretty good first episode, hoping it doesn't turn into another Under the Dome. I hope it's a well done, limited mini-series, which is what Under the Dome should have been. Both have good concepts but stretching that premise out over multiple seasons is a bad, bad idea.

brylcreem posted:It wouldn't make sense thematically if he didn't reset at least once. I'm starting to get worried (Book spoilers and conjecture about end of show) that they're reserving the reset for the very end. You know they're going to use Chekov's Reset once since it was mentioned, but in the book he's reset at least twice at this point. Though based on the preview Sadie's husband comes back next episode so perhaps they'll use it after he attacks her - I just find it odd they're already doing the character build up with him and Sadie with no reset done yet.

Basebf555 posted:Yea he's close enough to the date of the assassination now that he has to reset at least once just because we have 5 episodes left. I wonder if maybe he saves Kennedy, but that somehow makes the future even shittier, or if he stops Oswald but Time says gently caress you and Kennedy gets killed some other way a week later. Like Supernatural's classic Mystery Spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iancUEwE1mA

nosleep posted:Read somewhere on reddit that the screenwriter stated that there wouldn't be any resets, and once he's there he's there. Don't have any relevant article for the quote, but if that's true it kinda takes some good aspects of the story away. I really feel like some of the changes they're making are just for the hell of it, not actually for the benefit of translating book to screen. I shouldn't be surprised though, I can't remember the last time I wasn't disappointed with any book adaptation. I'm sure the Dark Tower will be a hot mess. I can't see them not doing a reset. They wouldn't have mentioned it if they didn't plan on using it. I said it earlier, but it's Chekhov's Gun.

Quisty posted:My guess is he saves Kennedy, comes back to present day, and like the book, sees everything is hosed up and goes back to live happily ever after with Sadie while she's young. And that will be the only reset. This seems like a very likely outcome. I would bet they'd also show that something bad happened to Sadie after he left, so he doesn't feel guilty going back.

Zwille posted:I think it's funny that the time jump we're discussing in a time travel series is the 1960-1962 one of all things. I think a lot of us (especially those that have read the book) were shocked that they did a time jump, and didn't spend a lot more time in the early years. I guess to make it more obvious they could have had Franco turn to the camera as he was talking to Billy and said "Can you believe we've been here 2 years already?" then just stared at the camera for a few minutes with the Franco Smile.

Azhais posted:late 50s early 60s it was a pretty big deal. 63 the first major player went state's evidence. I'd think the mafia would have been news. But maybe not news in a small town which back in that time really pretty much just focused on local news and the big things like war/space race/etc. (Or it could just be a mistake)
