These hacky writers actually think that Baldo Goodweather moping in empty rooms as a sad alcoholic because of his dead gay wife in S1 and S2 is compelling enough to give a 2nd encore of the exact same non-character development because of his worthless dead gay son in a show full of bisected corpses and exploding heads

the gus storyline is laughably terrible. I mean, because he's a charmless, unintelligent, unsympathetic mama's boy who refuses to accept reality, and he essentially got 1 or 2 neighborhood watchmen (not even villains) killed and still ditched the rotting play-doh evil knievel corpse in the process, lol. Poor Lee Tergesen, saddled with another thankless paycheck role in piss poor material Also the maincast letting the incredibly conspicuous master worm crawl into the sewer unhampered is basically a repeat of S1 when they let him get away after standing and gawking in silence at his burnt husk. ahahaha

I would've guessed she left because the gus character was slated to be horning in on her "boring lovely deadend senile latin mother-based brooding" territory

Jonathan Hyde is actually the best part of this retarded show for a while now. His hilarious regal affect across all moods, comically grandiose speeches rife with dramatic beats, the cartoonish expressions. He's like a ham-based woodchipper that chews up scenery with reckless abandon, it's great.

impossible, they can't jeopardize baldo's life because then all that rich pathos from making his dead gay worthless son into the pink master worm gloryhole will be for naught!

I was just thinking the same. Something that smooth and purposeful really stands out in a show where the lovely chromakey "master eyes" effect wouldn't be out of place in a Troma film

because the character is trash and their inexplicable motivations don't even make sense for a child's brain, they are a petulant masquerading as precociousness despite being stone stupid and unworthy McGuffin motivator of a supposedly brilliant alcoholic scientist, they've got the focus-group tussled hair of an "abercrombie and fitch KIDZ" catalogue model despite living in a vampire hellscape of decay with no hairdressers + being locked away in a musty sewer for weeks, tv child actors are diarrhea garbage that never, ever belong stealing time from adults who can actually act and have dialogue that doesn't revolve around public cable access PSA-caliber temper tantrums, and he looks like a little cunty douche with permanent stinkface as if he's stuck always smelling his own farts

ah yes, the vaunted "puppetmaster" defense employed by a creepy boy-loving goon in a discussion thread where everyone is present to discuss a show, what works about it, and what doesn't. diabolical...

No one's upset, you got bizarrely defensive because no one likes your favorite character that you seem to read too much into to, everyone hates him because A) TV child actors are untalented and awful compared to adults, B) their performances and writing are traditionally horrendous (relatively speaking given the source) and come at the expense of adult actors doing fun things with more interesting stories and dialogue, and C) the cornball forced motivations that revolve around them shatter the willful suspension of disbelief and combined with the two previous critical flaws make for a massive chink in the armor of any show and are frequently a favorite subject of ridicule because the majority of viewership has to suffer through it. CARL! CURL!!! CORAL!!!! You're drastically misreading the audience response if you sincerely think people only just now despise a fartfaced kid's bad character and acting because the city full of stupid idiots doing dumb things for our ironic amusement got blown up and extended 'The Strain' into a final season. The longest running theme of this thread has been jokes at the expense of what an albatross his presence on the show is, just like it was during '24' or any other long running popcorn serial that got dragged down by a whiny preteen. Odd that you mention Anna Gunn as a scapegoat, particularly when her inconsistent acting was responsible for the single worst moment of 'Breaking Bad' wherein she screams cartoonishly at an imaginary baby and it's embarrassing TheRationalRedditor fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Nov 3, 2016 |
