Really weird seeing a show kinda perfectly subtly foreshadow a shocking final act twist and then do so little with it that you figure they could've cut it entirely. Nothing the Old Man said on the deathbed changed the audience understanding of The Game any more than you could already infer. I thought there'd at least be a more in-depth challenge of the premise that the game puts everyone on an equal playing field, but ACTUALLY features just as much random luck, external factors and born physical difference that every single game was as unjust and unfair as capitalist society. Bootstrap your way through a tug o' war as an 80lb woman, like what? And seeing someone care about the guy on the street re-motivating 456 could've happened without it, frankly.

Would've saved a lot of time in the storytelling if they'd made it clear before the knockout gas that you could potentially die in the games, as all the desperate people would've signed up anyway and not needed the vote plotline - that was pretty much just a point of getting inevitable audience shock at sniped bodies piling up rather than anything that made sense from a character motivation perspective for the masterminds.HOMOEROTIC JESUS posted:It's not clear to me that the character is actually dead - there was no headshot, no view of his body after falling into the water that I can recall. It's unclear if he was shot in the heart or not.
