I must have missed something...how did they know the Sheriff's name? Edit: never mind. For some reason I thought that the place they were talking about at the dinner table was different from the one they actually went to. Starks fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Aug 18, 2020 |

radlum posted:Loved the first episode; both the intro and the final scenes were amazing. However, did I miss something with that phone call that Atticus made? I didn't get what he was doing I think he’s a Korean War vet and he was calling his ex or something

a kitten posted:I think it's outright stated that he's a Korean War vet and it seems likely that she would be someone he has (or had) a relationship with, but the scene has some extra flavors added since he a) called Korea, but didn't actually talk to her, and b) she seemed extra concerned that he had gone home. Both of those things could have perfectly mundane explanations, but the second part makes me wonder if the two of them had a pretty good idea he was heading into some weird poo poo if he did make that trip. Oh that’s a good catch. They did say he was a vet but I didn’t hear them say which war. Also I think that the woman on the phone is the one in the opening sequence. Pretty small cameo for Jamie Chung otherwise... Edit: beaten by mere seconds !

Rappaport posted:Episode two spoilers so did Uncle actually die? I'm almost certain the spoiler reel thing at the end of episode one had scenes with him in them that weren't in this episode, but since we already had a "dream/doppelganger" thing happen, uhh? Biting my nails here. Episode 2 I feel like they foreshadowed his death so hard last episode that I was surprised he didn’t die then. So I think he’s gone which is too bad because the actor was great. Show seems pretty heavy on visions/dream sequences so he might show up again at some point though.

ex post facho posted:
The titular spoken word poem that played over the climax describes events that happened 15 years later. The James Baldwin speech from the last episode also takes place after the events of the show. It’s clear that the anachronistic music is a deliberate decision.

anothergod posted:Yeah I can see if you were hoping for some serious poo poo you would be disappointed, but, like... I'm tired of that. I was about to cancel my HBOMax sub because it's all so heavy. I'm really glad that there's something that's fantastic and fun especially wrt something so heinous and topical like racism. I had to get myself in the mood to watch "The Plot Against America", but this one? Like, I know it's going to be heavy, but it doesn't feel that way. Ya I don’t think it’s a great show but I am just so tired of “slow burns” right now
