Apoplexy posted:Yeah, that picture's loving nauseating. To imagine that many loving worms/other parasites infesting your flesh to that extent? I go insane if there's a single fly in my room. There are people all over the world who have worms living in them and that's just what their loving lives are. They got worms. They don't die from them, like they do starvation or malaria, so worms are small potatoes. One of my favourite theories about the causes of obesity is the idea that we are getting fat because of our increased sanitation having completely eradicated many of the typical gut worms that have ailed humanity since we first became a species. Of course all you'd have to do get re-infected is to travel to the less developed parts of the world, take off your shoes and literally step in a pile of poo poo. VVVV EDIT: Causes, as in plural.

It's definitely that and not that all of the food that is cheap in America is solid calories and no nutrition.

Sorry can't do it anymore, I can't watch this show. I had to shut it off at the scene where Ephrims kid tells Noras mom "If I go get cigarettes for you will you go back downstairs?". That sent me over the edge.. the stupidity of this kid and other people is just too much. I am done! If they kill off Noras mom and the kid and the Mexican gangster teams up with the group let me know. That might make it watchable again, else wise I just can't suffer through it. I would rather watch New Girl.

I actually don't mind the characters, they're dumb but I guess I'm used to that in TV shows but Christ the pacing is so slow and meandering.

I was real sad about the missed punchline in last weeks episode with cigarette quest. Nora's mom smoked lights and the kid got her menthols. Was totally waiting for her to flip out over him getting the wrong cigs cause god drat smokers are ridiculous about that kind of thing.

I always like it when someone is the voice of reason in a show like this ("I'm an escaped fugitive, who's going to believe me?") and then everyone else shouts them down.

one more intolerable scene-ruining character down, pick up the pace writers! This wasn't too bad of an episode. The Vampire action force emerging inexplicably from their Mystery Machine on some random docks is highly comedic and welcome.

No, what was comedic was Quinlan's seeming-exasperation at them going to grab the wrong guy. "Come on, guys. He has diamond fronts and isn't hispanic. How can you mistake the two?" The star remains Eichhorst, to me. That fucker manages creepy awesomely.

hcreight posted:Let the most boring man alive speak to the world. Great plan. You'd think if that speech was so important they'd record it beforehand until it was perfect. Nah, gently caress it, we're doing it live! Well, at least one annoying useless secondary character is down and Vampire SWAT showed up again. Now only the kid needs to bite it as well and we might actually have a somewhat enjoyable cast. Also, Eichhorst is totally gonna implant that vampire heart of Setrakian's wife into some other vampire just to gently caress with him, isn't he?

I totally appreciate the surreal qualities to all of this. We're in a guitar store! The outside world doesn't even exist anymore, we're in a strange bubble of bad acting and inappropriately perfect hair! This magical feeling of nowhereness, otherworldliness is induced by leaving it totally unclear what the state of the outside world is - is there a vampire plague/zombie apocalypse happening out there, or is it business as usual? It's impossible to tell, because our sensory modalities are giving us conflicting evidence, with visually literally empty streets, sirens from unseen sources, people talking about zombies hordes that aren't there. I can't stop watching. Apoplexy posted:Yeah. My favorite thing about America is that we actually have fat, malnourished people.

I still really enjoy this show, but it is frustrating on some levels. One of the main problems is that the pace of the show makes some of the characters seem out of place and you don't know why they're around until much later, so many viewers just get frustrated by all of the apparently useless build up for those characters. For example: Perestroika posted:Now only the kid needs to bite it as well and we might actually have a somewhat enjoyable cast. The kid serves a very specific purpose in the books but I can't tell if they're even going to make a point of it, because one event he was a part of happened without his part in it being explained. Also, remember when everybody said "oh the rat catcher guy is totally useless" and more recently when people didn't think Gus had a point? That all changed. That's not really the fault of the viewers for feeling that way. The pacing of the show is its own worst enemy. You shouldn't have to read the books to enjoy the show on its own. Finally: I did not understand the choice of actor for Setrakian in the 60's scenes. It was a young guy wearing hilarious age makeup. Was it the same actor from the concentration camp scenes? I couldn't tell. The makeup job on him looked like Peter Sellers in disguise in a Pink Panther movie.

It's exciting when you don't know what steps a character will take or what will happen to him. But when it's written out in burning letters across the sky that his mother is going to die and he is a token gangbanger with a golden heart seeing it happen over a dozen episodes is boring as gently caress.

Gus is the guy who got a bunch of free machine guns and ammunition, then pushed his luck and somehow wound up with some giant stacks of cash also, but that STILL wasn't good enough so he asked the dealer for another card on top of that but it was over 21 this time and he opened a boxcar full of vampires. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, so it's good she doesn't have to suffer any more. Oh thank God please not one more seen with this woman I don't know why Past Setrakian was so surprised when he climbed out of the well . What about Eichhorst made you think he wouldn't kill your horse and pull its entrails out.

Basically human monster who became a real monster and goes through lots of effort to blend in until the disguise is no longer needed.

So far Under the Dome and Strain are two shows where I wish most characters would be killed. Surprisingly, Under the Dome delivered on this in a more consistent fashion.
