One of my co-workers just said something interesting. I don't think this is where they are going, but he brought up this idea and I thought it was interesting to consider. He referenced how they mentioned what makes you think the departure only happens once. Perhaps Kevin and all of the people with him have departed in the second round and Miracle is where they go.
i can't help but think i am getting more and more sucked into this show and they are not going to renew for a third season. i am proceeding with caution.
1-Love the show 2-I'm way too attracted to Nora 3-I'm all for the weird shit as long as it has a payoff. I never watched Lost, but I have no interest in having the reaction those fans had at the end of the series.
Karen annoys the hell out of me, but that was also really good. The show has been so good this year and I can't wait for next week. The Liv Tyler scene was par for the course for this year. I can't help but wonder if that was a merkin.
He didn't really get holy Wayne's power though This is interesting This show is a really fast hour, it leaves me wanting more every episode
Holy Tommy. Also, couple more mentions of Austraila. Couldn't make out what they were saying about it on the television
The television said a dead man emerged from a cave alive. What other references to Australia have there been? Kevin's dad moving there was the only other thing I can remember.
Don't remember them all: -old bearded man in Miracle/Jarden wanted a letter sent there - Someone mentioning a guy in Australia claims to have been to the other side - person coming out of Cave in Perth - guy taking water samples in the pond where the girls were swimming in Ep 1 was from Austraila I think.
I don't remember what happened with Wayne at the end of last season. So is Tommy making this up to give them something to believe in or whatever?
i heard the tv spot and thought of kevin, he emerged from a watering hole somehow alive after he was tied to that weight or whatever. that watering hole was pretty cave like, idk i could be off really loved that episode to be honest
first 20 minutes of the episode and I'm like...this is boring as fuck, but it's going to have an incredible payoff... and it did. At first I was thinking that burning Tommy alive would be the big moment, but turning him into Holy Tommy is better.
I thought it was legit at first, but I am coming around to it being made up to give them something to believe in.
Loved the use of the Pixies, Where is My Mind in back to back episodes in montage format. The first is the real version and the second is a piano cover. I wonder what he was trying to show by that, because that is obviously on purpose. I am going to try to rip that scene out of the new episode and play them side by side to see what he did. I am sure someone else is probably on that right now. This doesn't have the scene, but would love to see the contrast back to back. Apparently this version was also used in Mr. Robot. I heard that is a pretty good show also. Here is the shameless plug video that I took of the Pixies performing this song live earlier this year.
IIRC Wayne asked him to hug him to take his power but he refused. (can someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while)
Im starting to look forward to this show more than football. I'm assuming we get Matt's point of view next week.
There was another reference in this episode during the counseling session, where the black woman says "You are in someone else's movie and you are just saying lines." This seems to be a recurring theme.
I know I am quoting my own post, but the way they use music to elicit emotion in this show is top notch.
So the use of the name David Burton is so Lindeloff. Saw this on reddit regarding a movie from the 70s that took place in Australia with a character with the same name... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Wave
Cool tidbit is the lighter that Meg used is the lighter that was given to Laurie by Jill with the engraving "don't forget me."
LOST had a payoff. It was just a really shitty payoff. Basically the Seahawks season last year throwing a pick to end the Super Bowl.
One theory my wife threw out there (probably from Reddit). He did get Wayne's power and that's why Liv Tyler wanted to bang him, because the kid will have the magic
It's been really good. Episodes have been different bc Ep 1: Pretty much all new characters until the last 15 minutes Ep 2: Characters we know arriving in town of the new characters, then seeing what else happened across the same time Ep 3: More characters we know throughout this same timeframe So we haven't really had a lot of building of the story linearly, but instead stories told across the same timeframe. But that should change next week.
I have no idea but it wouldn't be in the top 500 strangest things about this show so I'm not ruling it out
really loved that episode and have enjoyed this season immensely, my favorite show on television not even going to try and guess what is going on and to me the actual payoff/story are kind of secondary to the emotion of the show
if by 'those fans' you mean retards like then yeah you're right but lots of us loved the ending, mainly the ones who really participated in the discussion from the start
After that massive thread of people dissecting every single religious/historical/scientific symbol and reference and going over screenshots like Carrie Mathison, to have them say "Oh yeah a lot of that stuff didn't matter it was just a character drama" was bit of a letdown for some. It's still my favorite series and I don't regret watching any of it.
It was always a character drama, we got to experience what they experienced. It'd be like someone watching this show not for characters but in hopes of finding out how/why they disappeared. But I don't want to clog this thread up with that.
I don't think this show plays on actual mystical angles like Lost. I think the whole point is that those "angles" are a coping mechanism for us when something happens to our environment that we have absolutely no explanation for. To me, thats what the show is about, all of the interesting and peculiar facets of the human response and experience to an event that has absolutely no explanation.
So are we supposed to accept everything that Patti says as fact? Definitely not as fun an episode as the previous three, but still really good. I liked getting answers and progressing the story line. I also liked that the neighbors wife was not completely bought into his shit as if it was this dark conspiracy. It seems much more human and personal for him than some wide scale underground town initiative. It seems there are plenty int he town with major powers including the guy in the tower, the guys house he burned down, and the guy in the trailer who can see what is up with people.
This was probably least favorite episode of the series thus far. Patti's ghost or whatever following him around is weird and dumb.
I thought the episode was still good. It did a lot for explaining what has been going on rather than just dealing with how everyone all got here.
I can tell I'm getting older I thought Nora had a good 10 years on me, looked up the actress and we are pretty much the same age
