Looten Plunder posted:I'm worried about this show though. I hope the creators at least have a high level plan of "what happened" on the island so that 18 months they spent on the island isn't somehow stretched out to 5 seasons. Wait wait wait, when did they establish they were on an island? Or is this a LOST joke?

a new study bible! posted:I will, however, be pissed if the teenage story isn’t mostly resolved by the end of this season. If they leave everything hanging there, I have a hard time imagining that I will be able to maintain my enthusiasm for the show over a hiatus. The flashbacks won't be resolved this season. 100%. If we're unlucky, the show will find ways to feature the teen actors until the very end of the show, instead of moving on from that plot at a good pace.

I do think there might be something up with the coach's family, if we're theory crafting. I'm thinking maybe an affair. It'd explain why his elder son is so very angry with him (in a this is a plot point sense, rather than purely as a reaction to trauma). I'll laugh if it's with the assistant coach.

I wouldn't put too much stock in these kinds of things tbh, same with trying to match up characters to hooded figures etc. (as said hooded figures are often played by stunt people and not the actual actors). These images aren't designed to be poured over and scrutinised in this way, and you can end up becoming the kind of L O S T fan who thinks that the show was subtlety altering the cast's eye colour to indicate possession, rather than just lighting them weirdly.

Misty believes that people will only like her if they're dependent on her, so she 100% is behind the blackmail escalation because it's a situation that makes her indisnesible to the group. But Travis was killed by his younger brother IMO, who's the dude who's having the affair with Shauna. Also I'm getting the sense that they're setting up a reveal that Shauna's kid is still alive, and being raised in the woods by some of the survivors who never made it back (probably the best friend who the show is trying to pretend is dead). So a future season will end up with the four survivors, plus a few hangers on, ending up back in the woods again. Those are my insane theories anyway.

My personal theory is that the four older women called Misty, Shauna, Taissa and Natalie and the four younger women called Misty, Shauna, Taissa and Natalie are, in fact, the same four people.

I love this recurring theme in some of the worst theories that pregnant women are somehow magical energy and matter machines -- like you put the same amount of food into them that you'd put into a non pregnant person, and but they just magically produce more stuff. Like gallons of breastmilk or pot roast babies.

Also loving called it. Still suspect he was having some sort of affair with the other coach, since the condoms don't quite make sense otherwise. But I'll settle with being half right.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:lmao no Jessica is rightly terrified of Misty Oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to suggest that they're anywhere near being a legitimate romatic couple, I think I mispoke a little. It's more, like, the actresses are leaning into a slight tension there with the way they're playing their scenes, and I feel like it's there in the script too -- we're clearly meant to be comparing those scenes to the stuff with Misty and Coach in the past, and see that the Misery situation in the present is more of a match between equals. I don't think it's out of the realm of sanity to imagine these two characters teaming up, some point down the line, particularly given that they're so similar, and Misty's whole arc about wanting to be accepted and legitimised by people who understand where she's coming from. Yeah, Jessica's clearly scared of Misty, and manipulating Misty, but there are moments, with the way Rekha Sharma is playing it, where she seems to relax a little. It's a cool dynamic that I'd like to see more of, that's what I'm trying to say.

I'm trying to work out, now the show's done cannibalism and sexual assault, what possible thing could the show still have waiting in the wings for future seasons. My new guess, now that Adam is dead, is that they kill the younger kid -- this is based purely on the logistics of the actor aging faster than the 1.5 years the characters are gonna be stuck there for. Other than that, and maybe some general mass hysteria Satanic panic, I got nothing though. Edit: also which surviving characters haven't had flashbacks yet? Just Jackie and the guys from the leads, yeah? Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jan 11, 2022 |

Miguel Prado posted:just who killed Travis and emptied his bank account right? I'm trying to work out what potential suspects are left at this point. The only real outlier I can think of is the highschool guy who became a cop, but I reckon he'll get involved in trying to solve Adam's murder and be drawn back into the plot that way. So I figure it has to be one of the core four, or another survivor.

I think my problem with Taissa and Van not joining team cannibal is that they're clearly the motivating factor behind the face masks. Also I suspect the show's not going to divide up between Team Cannibal and Team Sanity, so much as both groups are gonna go cannibal.

Shageletic posted:I noped out of the Wilds after like the first 15 mins when a character was like " you think its tough being stranded, you clearly haven't been a teenage girl in the suburbs" or whatever. Just didn't seem to be my poo poo at all. It's actually worth watching? I loved it, and thought it was cleverly made. FWIW, the girl giving that voice over is characterised as being fairly naive and self-involved. You're not meant to read that monologue as a didactic statement about the world, but as a demonstration of her personality and a starting point for her character arc. There's even an episode later in the season where someone rips into her taste in writing. There's lots of clever bits like that throughout. Like I said, I really loved it.

wizardofloneliness posted:I don't know how the hell they're going to do that considering they haven't even started writing season two yet. It sounds like this was so successful for Showtime that they just want new stuff ASAP, but I'd rather they focus on making it good first. I mean, Showtime has nothing right now. Dexter? Done (probably, hopefully). Billions? Long in the tooth, lost its main star, heading south. Nothing else is over four seasons IIRC. Gormenghast? Development hell. Halo? Stolen from them for Paramount+ On Becoming A God In Central Florida? Covid cancelled. Black Monday? In limbo, no news in a year, probably cancelled. They've got the Andrew Scott starring Ripley adaptation that's done filming, plus Naomi Harris is in The Man Who Fell To Earth (but that's gonna be a risky prospect). They need this show.

wizardofloneliness posted:I can see why they’re desperate, but cranking the seasons out as fast as possible doesn’t really bode well for quality. I think it's entirely possible to start airing a season ten months from now, if a) that season's short, b) they star airing it without the entire season being in the can, the way Showtime did Homeland, and c) if they've already done some work plotting the show's second season (which I suspect they have, since most shows are sold this way). I mean, most shows turn things around in a single year. The idea of year-and-a-half+ breaks between seasons is a recent, and tbh crap, development.
