I wonder if The Witness' mask is suppsed to evoke gas-mask imagery? Cassie's got some hosed-up poo poo going on. Deacon why wouldn't you let her finish her sentence? Upon a close look, more birdlike. Umm. O poo poo. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 02:14 on May 31, 2016 |

Random question: Did plague doctors euthanize the infected, the way James just killed the splintered guard from 1959? Also, Ramse's son built a scale model of the entire facility from blueprints. He has detailed knowledge of it which he was using to lead Ramse through unknown routes through the place. Then I was wondering if maybe Ramse's son was The Witness but it appears he was grabbed by The Witness and it didn't set off a gigantic paradox so I guess not? Reply isn't Edit. That loving house creeps me out. The entropy/entropy reversal is pretty striking, even if it's a little overused. Aside re: Commercials. I really couldn't care less about this WoW movie. Does anyone else think Jon Bon Jovi sounds just like Jack Black now? "That's the power to turn back time, KYLE!" Well. That poo poo all happened.

Well the Red Forest/creepy house exists outside of time. So maybe getting paradox'd doesn't happen?

The failed splinter experiment volunteers   Colonel TighAhahahah Ramse you hosed over humanity and your son is gone anyways. Now I bet your son turns out to be mega Hitler or something. Maybe even the witness(but that would be kind of a lame twist).

Dammit I was hoping Michael Hogan was long term on this show. Though I suppose another timeline change could always bring him back. It's nice when they occasionally have an all-future episode.

Those Time Cronenbergs were amazing.

Shbobdb posted:I was surprised my wife had never seen Jacobs ladder. If you liked that episode and haven't seen that movie, do yourself a favor and fix that. The reason it comes up is it was one of the first big entertainment pieces to feature the trippy blurry head-shaking effect. Also, Cassie seeing The Witness pop in-and-out for a few frames was very David Fincher's Fight Club. I dismissed the idea of Ramse's son being the Witness because I thought the Witness grabbed him and didn't paradox. That apparently was Cassie under tether control, though. When Sam appeared somewhere out of time (where we know the Witness resides) as shown by the year title card just randomly flipping through years before Sam's appearance, someone offered him a hand. Sam took it. Again, no paradox occurred. Whose hand was that I wonder. Katarina had an ominous line after Cassie blamed herself for everything that happened this ep. "It wasn't your fault. It was mine. For that, there is a solution." Yikes. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 21:50 on May 31, 2016 |

Yeah, if you build a show on the foundation of time travel, you have permission to go hard on the sci-fi. Give me hosed up time-travel mutated people, it makes sense to me! Also, I really liked the intro to the end scene with the 'Year XXXX' graphic that was distorted.

GreenNight posted:Yeah this season is great. It's a pretty steep step down from the first season in my opinion, the last couple episodes have felt like filler episodes of the X-Files, complete with running around a darkened Made-in-Canada set with monsters and generic soldiers Remember when 204X felt like a real, albeit dying world, complete with other settlements, and not just the woods/ warehouse closest to the studio? Edit: Hell, even the camera-work feels like a soon-to-be-cancelled generic Syfy show. I was pleasantly surprised by last season and enjoyed it, but I'm not enjoying this season at all.

^^ you crazy this season owns. I like the "monster of the week" type poo poo Has it been explained how the return trip works for tethered travelers? When Cassie returned at the start of this episode no one knew it was her returning. Do the travelers just "will" their back whenever they want?

Yeah I called this as a "Monster of the week" deal when I saw the preview, and I think it actually OVER-delivered on that. I would have been happy for a break from the main plot for some action stuff. But Cassie was tethered to the Witness and took Sam hostage and sabotaged the time machine. The time machine is considerably hosed (and Ecklund died heroically), Sam showed off his skills in diorama class (which Jones looked at with considerable suspicion at the very end of the episode), the time-travel soldiers were previewed in the Year: 1959 intro, and Cole made Ramse shoot him.. And there's still that hanging line of dialogue from Katarina. Basically, "No Cassie, it wasn't your fault. It was mine; and for that, there is a solution." Sounds ominous. I mean, yeah some of us were worried about the new plot but my worries went away the very next episode. This show owns and I've seen no decline in quality.

The only thing that's bothering me is this stuff with the Witness, who is coming off as more supernatural than science fiction.

It did stop being just a Time Travel story once the concept of the primaries was introduced to the show. That aspect is certainly supernatural and therefore so is the Witness. If all the stuff that makes the show so good (everything from the music to the dialogue and direction, etc) remains then I am sticking with it. I think I would have preferred it stayed strictly sci-fi but then again the line between Sci-Fi and fantasy starts to blur depending on the in-world explanations for its concepts. Perhaps the writers have a purely scientific rationale for how human life and time are interconnected (and if so I hope it's not terribly cheesy.)

I think time travel stories have been told to death where you'll see this coming a mile away but the show always seems to do right by the characters so I expect it to be all worth it even if it unfolds exactly as expected, because there's so much to work with Sam and Ramse and the kid's connection to the rest of the people in the base in 2044 alone that if this happens and the confrontation finally happens it'll pay off spectacularly.

Apparently this show is currently on the shortlist to get axed due to poor ratings. I wish I could contribute and be an official viewer, but they don't care about overseas ratings, except for when it comes to DVD sales.... Also this show in particular is one that lends itself to bingewatching, which is also bad for the shows week to week ratings. If cancelled, I hope they at least wrap up the main plot in a nice TV movie.

I don't need this series to last four or five seasons or more. I mean, I think it'll get old long before then no matter how good it is. If they can finish it up in 2-3 seasons or 2 seasons and one special/miniseries then I trust the writers to make it worth the trip. I just hope it doesn't die on the vine like so many good sci-fi shows before it (and I hold this one in considerably higher esteem than most of those.) 45 minutes until tonight's installment, hyenas!
