Just binged the first season. Really makes me want to see Aubrey Plaza taking a major role in more series.

This show might be doing weird poo poo just for the sake of being weird, but I don't care. I'm all in.

Woof. I know last season was crazy as poo poo and there's not really anywhere to go from there but down, but I was really disappointed by how conventional the opening episode of— Wait, poo poo. Has my monitor been off this entire time? Well, let me just turn it back and restart it and—

I want the finale to be Admiral Fukuyama taking the basket off to reveal it was Patrick Stewart the whole time.

Just making sure I heard this right, did Cary mention the Shi'ar? Just name dropping it, buncha bird aliens nbd, not even the weirdest thing in this episode?

Pretty funny to hear Syd say David ends up beating Farouk's head in at the desert and the next scene is Farouk demanding David respect him a week before that theoretical beatdown happens.

Its all imagination, or delusion. Check the background. except david is probably powerful enough to shape the world to conform his delusion. Dark Off fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Apr 11, 2018 |

I'm glad Kerry is finally getting some lines that aren't generic "let's fight" ones, also David stop playing with fire and keep Farouk outside your drat mind you smart idiot.

My baseline for strange and unusual is so skewed with this show.

I really dig the Kerry/Carrie reversal. Its a great way to explore that relationship. I am kind of disappointed in the direction they are taking Melanie, I hoped she would be stronger than this.

So can Clark get away with threatening David (or at least having tense conversations) because he's aware David hasn't fully realized his potential? It seems weird the dude was manipulating reality last season with no effort and everyone rightly feared him, and this season he's more of a "loose cannon taking orders from the man."

^^^Oh yeah, 100% that.Rocksicles posted:10/10 for the Banana Splits song. That creeped me the hell out. I was just thinking of that song this morning after not giving it a thought for probably twenty years. Then they started singing it in the show  swickles posted:I really dig the Kerry/Carrie reversal. Its a great way to explore that relationship. I am kind of disappointed in the direction they are taking Melanie, I hoped she would be stronger than this. When David walked into her room at the end there, they made a point of showing the slime trail of the rogue idea. I wonder if the Idea is a specific thing or, as the scene with RED=GREEN implied, it's a idea which somehow turns everything to its opposite. If we follow from that, the Kerry/Carrie reversal suddenly makes perfect sense.

Ugh that metaphor doesn't work because if you were trained wrong as a joke you'd still get all the reinforcing messages that "green" to you means stop from society, media and just generally living in the world. Like it only works if you specifically reserve the reveal for a one off prank. Also, David is totally the big bad that they need the Shadow King to fight.

I liked the basket-view shots. Farouk's growl when he's finally cornered to agree to not-killing. The half-conversation between Lenny and Farouk leaving her fate unclear. And the Banana Splits song. I watched it on Nick at Nite, so a little before my time, but would've been right on track for Cary's age. This is a tenuous theory, but I don't think it's totally ruled out yet: Syd dies. Farouk's close enough when it happens to keep her mind around and is wearing it like a mask to get David's help.

I need to double-check, but hasn't every appearance of the slime trail occurred leading up to a scene where both David and Syd are present? And didn't Shadow King briefly pass through her mind on the way to Oliver's? Maybe she's the one with an invasive delusion.

I'm gonna take a stab at who the villain is and say that it isn't David, but is going to be another interpretation of an X-Men villain. So my guesses are Proteus, who is in David's body, or some new version of Onslaught.

I will never get tired of Syd's general attitude towards David being "gently caress it, let's roll with that." God drat, the Farouk reveal owned. No fireworks, just a quiet "sup it's actually me this time" followed by one of the most sinister monologues I've ever put into my eyeballs.

Thanks, now I'm going to be disappointed when it doesn't happen

Farouk is loving terrifying. His scene with Lenny when she was asking for a new body, Jesus. "What will you do with this new life?" "I'm gonna live the poo poo out of it!" "And then?" "...Die, I guess." "...And then?"

Extremely fortunate recasting there. Nothing against Saïd Taghmaoui, but it's hard to picture him hitting anything like the same vibe. Negahban's juxtaposition of collected menace with fatherly charm is just perfect.
