Like would teenagers really give a gently caress? Nevermind the formation of cults. Did any of that happen after 9/11? This whole thing feels like an early 2000 basic cable pilot and I'm shocked it's on HBO. I feel this will be Lindelof's Shyamalan moment, when people realize LOST (the beginning anyway) was a fluke and it's only getting worse from here.

I mean initially, yeah. I guess I'm putting too much faith in people's ability to get over bad poo poo that doesn't directly effect them. I guess the supernatural aspect may have more effect. Or less in that it's not as grisly or shocking as terrorism or mass murder. Also as others have said the number is relatively low, and for some reason disproportionately concentrated in this one town. If it'd been half the world's population I could understand. There have been pandemics far worse than this and people still got through that somehow. Al Nipper fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jul 3, 2014 |
