I mean, it's all just speculation at this point, but my non-fantastical guess is just that her parents were not-raptured and/or were so bothered that they stopped caring about her, so she's just hanging their house. If there's any other reason, I'm not sure we'd be able to figure it out at the moment.

Id be pretty surprised if her parents vanished, that seems like something they would mention considering how the kids are all a bit hosed up now. My guess is she just half lives there/is free to come and go as she pleases. Decently common, at least in tv world.

Jill's friend normally annoys me and adds nothing to the plot but I did appreciate her saying "gently caress her" when they saw Jill's mom. I liked this episode but I'm getting concerned that we'll have no closure by the end of the season.

Well there is a while shitload of dog symbolism and grandpa can seemingly talk to the dead/departed so hopefully they can make something out of that.

I was very curious about her comment that Garvey doesn't recall anything about their conversation over his dog bite. My favorite moment in the episode was the GR hose down. He got worked up thinking that she was too fragile to put up with the GR bullshit and there she was with a hose. He was right, that was awesome. I still can't wrap my head around their cult. There doesn't seem to be anything compelling about mute chain smokers and they are such aggressive assholes that I have a hard time feeling sympathy for them about the poor treatment the town heaps on them.

Yeah the mark was too shallow to be a dog bite unless there's a wild pack of pugs running around out there.

I don't like that everybody in the Garvey family is a humongous angry rear end in a top hat all the time. Particularly Dad, son, and daughter. Mom isn't angry since she's mute though she is an rear end in a top hat as part of the GR, and grandpa is totally insane/prophetic. Kevin doesn't seem like he has it together at all despite (because of?) all the pills with his crazy dreams and blackouts, which I guess is where this show is headed towards: everyone is crazy.

Holy poo poo you guys are dumb. Dog bite? It was pretty obviously this guy The conversation with the daughter's friend was probably "hay im drunk got a fish bite what up gerl" "you should put neosporin on it" "cheef of police!  "

You bet your rear end I tracked down a copy of the May 1972 issue of national geographic. I'm currently working through it to see what they're going to try to tie into the show, if they don't just end up blatantly making something up.

There isn't going to be closure on anything besides Wayne's story I bet, since he is actively foreseeing his death. There's just going to be more mysteries on top of mysteries, more blackouts and amnesia and dream sequences, if past performance can determine future performance.

I stopped watching after episode 3 (or 4?) because I wasn't particularly grabbed by how things were developing. Has the show improved/show promise of improving since then?

Episode 3 was one of the best episodes of the season, while Episode 4 was the worst. Since ep 4 it has gotten better.

Yeah obviously not. Anyway, what are peoples' thoughts on the GR's end game? Garvey's subconscious or whatever is apparently screaming at him that they need to be put down like so many wild dogs. The preview for the last 3 episodes makes it look like the GR becomes even more antagonistic and possibly does something truly harmful?

I don't they have so much of an end game as they are an "everything is bullshit after the not-rapture" kind of expression of grief, depression, or nihilism. I haven't read the books or anything, and I'm sure that they'll be explored more at some point in time. I'm sure I don't have a good understanding of the whole thing, because that seems kind of juvenile. But like juveniles, I can see them working themselves up with a series of more antagonistic stunts until they do something well and truly hosed up.

The GR actually makes "sense" in the book, like their purpose and goals are spelled out pretty clearly. Guess it turns out it's hard to flesh out mute characters without some internal monologue.

I don't think there's much to that NatGeo magazine in particular. It's a mcguffin representing some kind of choice or threshold we're unaware of yet. I initially thought there might be some connection between the black bear on the front and the black dog he brought in (especially when it was zooming in on that near the end) but it's a stretch. What's more interesting is this Cairo business. I didn't catch it at first but someone said it came over the police radio that one scene and it's the title of the next episode. Maybe it's an ATF codeword? I'm hooked either way. The show's been good about pulling enough little twists to keep the viewer on their toes, it could go anywhere from here.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Any chance you could flesh out their purpose and goals here, spoiler-tagged, obviously? The GR are a Doomsday cult who believe that they (and everyone else not-raptured) were rejected by an Old Testament-style God for their sins, and their goal is to disrupt people from falling back into their pre-rapture ways, "saving" them by trolling and eventually converting people that they've targeted as potential converts. They are eager to martyr themselves (and start staging them among their own members, probably to garner sympathy/converts, it's vague in the book). They smoke because they believe that they're living in the endtimes so there's no sense worrying about health ramifications. Firebert fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Aug 13, 2014 |
