The gun scene wasn't anything like last season. He was being a moron not an rear end in a top hat. It's a big difference. Now if you just don't like 'cringe humor' or something than I can see it not working for you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ stop defending that terrible scene. wormil posted:Yeah the gun scene isn't deep, everyone gets it, just not everyone thinks it's funny. Ravane posted:lol, you're an idiot who can't seem to figure out people like different things. Let it go, don't ruin the funny. Wait, I'm the one who can't figure that out? Stop arguing for the sake of arguing because you suck at it. If your butt hurts because someone disagrees whether a scene from a tv show is funny, maybe you should avoid the internet. wormil fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Oct 18, 2015 |

I'm not the one getting angry and calling people idiots. So apparently you and others do give a gently caress about my opinion. If you agree or disagree, fine. If you want to discuss it or not, fine. I'm not saying these things to troll people but because this is exactly how the show rocketed down hill last season, by spending too much time with the extras and when the show starts the same things this season, it's valid criticism.

I liked this episode. Maybe I'm too generous with this show. I enjoyed it when people hated it last season. There's something that really resonates with the whole nature of Tandy's character. A lot of shows with oafish protagonists work because underneath their oafish surface, the characters have a core of decency. I think this show subverts it... or tests just how unsympathetic a character can push it. Tandy isn't a "good guy" underneath it all. This show tests how much we can sympathize with "that guy". It asks the audience why do we keep forgiving fuckups. Echo Chamber fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Oct 19, 2015 |

It's odd, because I get how the side characters' behavior was infuriating, but at the same time, he did hold them all at gunpoint, and that wasn't exactly the first offense. They clearly go way too far in punishing him, but I think it's just that people are making bad decisions, but when there are- as far as anyone can tell- about seven people left on the entire planet you can't really choose your friends.

Yeah, I really don't get what they're trying to do with this show. Some sort of redemption arc? Why would the audience care if he redeems himself to people who are just as bad as he is, only in a shared delusion? What are the viewers supposed to care about?

Ego-bot posted:So is Todd loving the cow? Pretty sure he found a house with solar panels and working solar electricity to power air conditioning, appliances, lights, electronics like a stereo and TV, etc. so he can hog it all to himself without telling anyone like Phil would have in season one. He flipped a switch, and the lights came on. Ravane posted:gently caress Melissa. What a loving rear end in a top hat for that beer prank. I hope everyone dies except for Phil. They're all terrible. Poor Phil. Let's not forget that she also brought him the water knowing full well that he wouldn't be able to drink it with his hands in the stocks, and also alerted the others that he was out of the workout room when all he was doing was getting some cheese and heading back to his punishment quietly without interacting with the others, thus forcing him to live outside with the shock collar. Then the loving beer prank. At least the others have just let Tandy be with his increasing punishments, even if they still don't like him and find him annoying, but Melissa is just a horrible, bitter scumbag. EDIT: Also, to tie into the electricity working at Todd's secret home, maybe his story about eating long expired olives and the others' talk about food going bad everywhere means that he has a fridge and freezer to hoard cold food and drinks and a working electrical stove and oven to cook said food with.

Yeah, my first impression was that Todd was loving the cow. Still, I don't think you can do on network TV, even in the Year of our Lord 2015. Still did anyone else notice that the cow wasn't in the shock zone when Tandy was there?

Nah man, even with them all being scummy cocksuckers (and Alpha Phil being a loving psycho) Carol was inside And yea Todd was super indignant about losing everyone's trust so it totally makes sense he has been pulling a Tandy with a house full of AC, running water, etc

I'm not really getting the Melissa hate. Obviously, the show is framed from Tandy's POV, and Melissa hates him. But for now, the show has done a good amount to justify why people hate Tandy.

But for now, the show has done a good amount to justify why people hate Tandy. Yes the show made a pretty good case for why all of these people are unlikable, that's why I think the premise is weird as gently caress. I mean, except for Carol, cause Carol is just the best. I realize that one some level the producers thought it would be a funny gag for Kristen Schaal who is supposedly 'TV Ugly' to be the object of desire for the male-model alpha-male character but seriously now Carol is so much more interesting and compelling than everyone else in the cast it falls kinda flat.

I'm actually surprised they didn't think Tandy caused the fire. To me he is coming of as more sympathetic out of the cast because unlike the beer prank, it's clear he's an idiot, and probably on the autistic spectrum, he's not doing any of the crap he does out of malice.

I was worried that bringing these garbage characters back would ruin the show again, and it's good to see that my fears are being realized. Anyone else think that the side characters were somehow shoe horned in by execs or producers because they felt that having a minimal cast wasn't gonna sit well with audiences or something?

Echo Chamber posted:He's the protagonist. Well I mean, semantics doesn't play into it, it's kind of an "is" or "is not" thing and this show most definitely is not. Avalerion posted:I'm actually surprised they didn't think Tandy caused the fire. Also putting a shock collar on him because they didn't want him to talk was pretty hosed up. They don't necessarily have to like him, and he does suddenly gets really insufferable when the other characters show up, but taunting and torturing him is pretty lovely of them. Not to mention burning down his house, that seemed wholly unnecessary. raditts fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Oct 19, 2015 |
