Every shot in this show is like a painting. The symmetry, the placement of the characters, the lighting... I don't understand how someone could watch this on 2x speed instead of taking all that in. It's part of the experience.

McSpanky posted:It is delivering plot units at the inefficient ratio of 1.2 HOLKYFUCKS/act so I had to fastforward it to keep myself sustained on plot, the only reason to consume televisual entertainment product. plotty plot-plot The loving is part of the plot. The actors convey a lot of emotion with their body language that shows changes in how they are feeling toward one another. Much of the story is conveyed wordlessly, so if you start skipping scenes you miss out on details. e: oh wait you're kidding my bad

Tiggum posted:I don't like audiobooks. I find most narrators irritating, and there's no way to skim over the boring parts as you can with a book. TV and movies are totally different because the actors add depth and detail to the characters and the visuals do contribute to the story. What? Why would you skim over parts of a book? Hell, do you fast forward through songs so you can get to the hook? I'm genuinely puzzled by this. TV and movies have far less character depth than books, generally speaking.

Tiggum posted:I'm a very non-visual thinker. Descriptive bits are essentially meaningless to me so I skim over them. Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living?

Tiggum posted:At the moment, nothing. I have worked in a call centre and other miscellaneous stuff in market research but mostly I've been a student living off Centrelink. Studied computer science for a while until I realised how boring it was and that I'd basically picked it because I didn't know what I wanted to do and I'd always been "good with computers". Most recently studied writing. Planning on going back to school again to become a teacher. I was just wondering what a person with your apparent lack of visual thinking would excel at. Good luck with teaching though; make sure to focus on strategies to better convey abstract ideas to students.

Thwomp posted:Then again, Moria and June both assaulted that one Aunt in their escape attempt. They both received punishment once they were caught. She assaulted someone with a deadly weapon and escaped the center. I think the line is pretty clear. Why would it be weird not to send her back?

Is it ever clarified where the colonies are? Are they parts of the former US?

I worry that the show will fall off the rails now that they will be going beyond the source material. That said, season 1 was great and I would be satisfied with that ending if it was not continued.

Skizzzer posted:it was empowering but was just undercut by the inclusion of the song. i like the song but man did it take me out of the moment. whoever's doing the scoring is hopefully replaced for the next season. I've always thought the jarring soundtrack was intentional. It highlights the absurdity of the whole situation.

Skizzzer posted:i would disagree because i don't think the setting is absurd, but if that's the point than i guess the scoring is working as intended. What about the setting isn't absurd?

Guy Mann posted:In the final episode when Aunt Lydia ran out into the middle of circle during the stoning and started berating everyone and ordering them to throw after telling the guards to stand down I was kind of hoping and half-expecting that they would all just stone her to death instead. Yeah that totally wouldn't fit the story but drat if it wouldn't feel good. I wish June had told her to cast the first stone instead of just dropping it.
