Toxxupation posted:i mean, yeah. like, the HBO of now gave Treme- treme - four loving seasons. a show that nobody gave a gently caress about. Holy poo poo those are some poor numbers. Like the series premiere broke a million then it tanked to below what Leftovers is doing and never really recovered outside of the rare spike. Yeah that makes me a lot less worried.

What the hell is up with John Murphy? There's a lot going on with that dude and I can't wait to see what happens with him. The scene with him holding the pie on the porch as Kevin and family arrived at their new house felt suspicious, almost as if he was expecting them. Also, I noticed that Reza Aslan, the religious scholar, is a consulting producer. I can't stand the dude but it's interesting that he's involved. And Carrie Coon is adorable and awesome.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:With regards to that 'no death' thing, doesn't that not work because of the goat slaughter? Didn't someone already mention this? As already mentioned I think it's the same goat and this guy kills it in the same fashion from time to time, especially given the non - reaction of the other patrons in the restaurant. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the upcoming episodes shows the bird in a box flying into a window or something.

Boon posted:Still doesn't explain all the dead fish with that one flipping fish. Or, just spitballing here, it could be some sort of geography thing? Those Harvard dudes are probably wrong about the disappearances being linked to ley-lines or magical locations or whatever the gently caress they're thinking, but maybe there are locations in Miracle where the health of a human being can be affected. So the goat thing is effectively a kind of diving rod. Goat dies here, no sell. Goat doesn't die here, magic magic. That would explain why the fish and goats died, but also why the bird didn't -- it was a test of the location, and not the bird itself. It also adds to the theory as to why Christopher Eccelston's so invested in stating in that lovely shack. He thinks that staying there -- or staying in the town generally -- is going to cure his wife. And that's what everyone's trying to shush him about. (I mean, also, they just upped her to a regular this season. No way they hired Donna from The West Wing just to have her sit in a chair for two years straight.)

Toxxupation posted:the hbo of 2007 is not the hbo of 2015. also john from cincinnati sucked and reviewed poorly. they cancelled it for many reasons, the least of which was ratings. nobody loving liked it :applause:  Absolutely and thoroughly an informative post. It's also a formula being followed by Netflix, Hulu to a point, and even Amazon Prime.

Then the birthday cake was ruined so Nora asked Kevin to retrieve the pie. After that I don't know what happened with that pie. Maybe the pie made Eve and Kevin bug out.... doubt it though.

From last week's preview I was kind of let down, seeing the episode was about the GR but once again, this show did well. I still NEED to know what the almighty gently caress is going on with Kevin's cement block, and Evie's disappearance, but this is a worthwhile distraction.

Now that Judging Amy can finally talk, her character is pretty rad. I can't believe this show's become one of my favorites of the year in a scant three episodes. I really hope it can stay this good all the way through.

Laurie ain't loving around! Another awesome episode. And Meg ain't loving around either. drat they have not ratcheted down the intensity in this season for a second. Also Chris Zylka deserves an Emmy for that final scene. What a great piece of acting and filmmaking. Le Saboteur fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Oct 19, 2015 |

I'm glad this season doesn't have any of the weird teenage drama that season one did.Verisimilidude posted:That shot of the lady crying at the end really got to me.

Was he just making that story up or did it really happen?

That doesn't mean it was made up. If he had these powers and just refused to use them, that also works and fits the "we're out of options here" narrative just as well. I'd personally lean towards made up but it's not ironclad.

I'd personally lean towards made up but it's not ironclad. If you're not getting the whole 'it's made up, he's full of poo poo' idea, I don't know what to tell you; that's EXACTLY what's going on. If he really, truly did have those powers, do you think he would have almost faltered and gone back to the GR? Do you think he would have argued that 'they're right'? EDIT: Also, if everything was 'ironclad', as you put it, there would be very little intrigue or mystery in the show. This is as ironclad as you're going to get aside from seeing a very, in my opinion, stupid scene with Laurie and her son literally saying 'ok, let's pretend you have Wayne's powers!'

I think the show even made it very clear last season that Holy Wayne was completely made up too, so there's no power to be passed along.

Yeah the new intro is awesome in the way it contrasts with the whole tone of the rest of the show. It's like "look at this emotionally intense drama that happened last episode" then immediately into a jaunty song. Complainers know poo poo about juxtaposition.
