  1. The police plotline is the worst. None of it make sense. They're investigating a murder from the start, with no body and not even a "we found traces of blood at his apartment." He's just missing, so he must be dead lets assign two detectives and have one stalk our suspects daughter. Coach may have been the only character to get development this season in the 90's timeline. Other characters got introduced or...rodent plotlines for the sake of a horrifying reveal (which was good.) Things happened to young misty, but it's not clear to me how they changed her or color who adult Mistly is. It feels like the writers walked back from misty pushing crystal, or forgot she watched that rat drown in season one with the detatched look of a sociopath. Young Shauna had a story and for a bit I was quite invested in it, considering it was pretty obvious the baby didn't make it back. I guess I was mostly just relieved with that one. Though it culminats in Shauna almost murdering someone as an expression of mostly halucinated anger. Had they actually eaten her baby, that'd would have been more impactful instead of over the top. Javi got two or three lines and died. Nat had a lot of individual moments but I'm not sure I could draw an arch with them. The climax of her story is her being put in jepordy literally by the luck of the draw, and then saved by something equally random. Given that they didn't go with the "Lottie = evil / running a cult dedicated to "it" that they suggested at the end of last season you'd expect young lottie to be one of the more interesting characters. But I dunno that I get her at all. Is she riddled with doubt because of years of being forces to take anti-psychotics? Does she suspect she was "special" before the crash? I'm not as down on the show as most, but yeah it sure seems like the writing of season two was rushed. Which isn't really suprising because I remember being like "I don't see how they're going to get the next season out next year."
  2. I like that they're calling it a "bonus episode" when it seems like it's just a ....late episode? Like there were ten last season...
  3. Thanks, It didn't seem like anyone was trapped inside. but I wonder why they weren't all there for the closing shot?
  4. and it's made worse by the fact that they don't really ...explain why he's like this. Seems like they just came up with "Misty's soul mate" and ran with it. Then at the end he becomes a deus ex machina for the Shauna murder plot. Unless I missed it, they never even bothered to explain how his email to the cops at the end of last episode was part of his sceme to blackmail Saracusa.
  5. It's not a matter of impulse control, so much as some of us having no idea what day it is or forgetting when the show comes out. Personally I don't mind spoilers, but most people do and I'm willing to make the minor effort to cover in case someone makes a mistake and opens the thread without watching. Which did happen last thread, hence the discussion.
  6. Another thing, they really built up Tai's multiple personality problems last season, and then this season... It just sorta serves to get her to Van and then the compound. They really de-escalated that plotline from "sacraficing the family dog to win an election."
  7. It seems like you didn't read the discussion last thread, cause we're just repeating it.
  8. So was the last! I still say taking the two seconds to put it in tags is worth it if it spares upsetting someone with spoilers. Though for once I think Tywin watched it first.
  9. Did you miss that whole discussion in the last thread?
  10. Back with LOST I was poring over screen grabs of maps, looking for clues. These days I just wait for other people to do it! Though it really just looks like a root to me. I don't think we're meant to get what the deal with the place coach found was. Just that's it's warm, presumably we'll find out why next week. It's kinda funny that earlier in the season Nat and Travis noted that it was super weird there was no snow at that spot, and then just moved on without investigating further.
  11. Seems like they should have waited one more week to lock the other one. This one may well be archived before season three starts up. I can't believe we're at the finale already.

    Sorry, false alarm. It finally happened on reddit too. It happens much more here for some reason. And never in the notes app. I'm sure it's my phone

    Is anyone else having trouble posting from an android phone? It's like I'm getting phantom inputs. Like it will often add tons of newlines or blank spaces after my post. If I take too long typing it will start clicking around to random parts of the text, sometimes highlighting some of it. I thought maybe it was my phone, but it only seems to be an issue here. I can open a notes app and get no phantom inputs.
  14. Honestly it's pretty disappointing that none of the Masley sisters could find the time to film a cameo. Surely all five of them can't be busy.
  15. Have you considered seeing a doctor? They have creams and stuff.
  16. Anyone know why this was only nine episodes? I agree it could have used another.
  17. I just blew through the show, loved it. But I came here to confirm that the show was presenting the cure as a bogus pipe dream. The two actual experts (the dude on the Cavett show and the Jakarta doctor) were adamant there was no hope of cure or vaccine. That latter didn't even try.
  18. If you like pesto it's pretty easy to make and always better than the jar stuff. You just throw everything in a food processor, basically. You realize that because you posted this in "Entertainment" you now have to do a cooking show for us where you make all these things.
  19. He learned how to train kids from ser criston.
  20. Oooh you meant they never fought? I was talking about Vhagar and Caraxes in that second part I should have made that more clear.
  21. I read the same book you did, I know it was most likely an invention of the singers. That doesn't remove the image of it from the readers mind.
  22. Because they're animals. If the image of Silverwing nudging Vermithior's wing to try to get him to fly again doesn't evoke emotion in you you might be dead inside. There's something incredibly tragic about a ~200 year old dragon fighting it's ex-mate to the death because of the conflict between their current riders. It's not like the dragons are independently torching villages, that's all people. Oh hey I'm able to like your posts now for whatever reason! I don't, though.
  23. Pretty sure you're mistaken. They say as much on the inside the episode thing. I think he thought he'd make him shit his pants.
  24. I feel like they should have introduced the idea that they don't have full control over the dragons before this. There was Visery's speech in the first episode but I didn't take that literally. I kind of like that it wasn't Aemond's intention to murder his nephew and that it just got out of hand. I can buy that dragons aren't used to fighting other dragons and share their riders animosities but not the self control to not straight up try to murder each other.
