I’d pass on 2 unless you lower your standards. There’s better tv to be watched.That bar scene was so dumb. Good comedy, but just dumb.
Episode was just ok for me, but I enjoyed the season overall.
Contemplating Season 2 now.
... the hunt is not over.Good season, but I was disappointed with the finale because I felt it was lazy writing to have Junius just give it to us vs them flushing it out.
I tried once and got about 5 minutes of Vince Vaughn attempting to showcase his stuff. It was awful. I'll look for something else, thanks.
I felt it meant his memories completely disappear as he fades into the jungle. It's like his last slip from reality towards the inevitable journey into the abyss of dementia.
The "I'm sorry for your loss" line in the 1st episode wasn't clear enough for you? Does it really matter how she died? Old people die
Well, yeah. It also matters what her relationship with her husband was in the period between 1990 and her death, whether her death impacted his relationship with his daughter, etc. The story was ultimately about family, including most prominently Wayne's immediate and extended family, so resolution for his most prominent and important family member in the story would have been nice.The "I'm sorry for your loss" line in the 1st episode wasn't clear enough for you?

), that means she died before reaching 65. That's not young but it's not really "old people die " age either.

Also if we assume she was 30 in 1980, which seems about right (especially considering how youthful and attractive she still was in 1990
It's not a huge deal, I still like the finale and think this was the best of the three seasons. Just saying it would have been nice to have the gap in the narrative filled in there, and it would have been easy to do as well.
Agree. I kept waiting for her death to become part of the story. Especially after Hoyt started threatening them. Almost like they skipped some episodes and simplified the ending.Well, yeah.

Am I thinking of another show or did Season 1 not do something very similar in how they ultimately discovered the Yellow King? As soon as it aired last night I immediately felt like I saw this before, where the detectives finally met the person who just walked them through the whole story and filled in the blanks.
Yep.
But it was filled in by the scene at the university and the mild reveal at the end that his family all loves him.Well, yeah.

They showed a cop car driving off just before the dog showed up. Could have had something to do with with the favorable outcome for our hero.I’m very satisfied with the finale. The story kept me intrigued throughout the series, and in the end, we got our answers. The bar fight was out of place, but had some good one liners from Roland. The biggest mystery to me was how he ended up in the parking lot alone with a bottle of Jack from behind the bar with the pour spout still attached.
In the end, the story was about Hays and his life spent on the case... not the case itself.
Eh, really enjoyed this season but season 1 really, really ruled. I doubt a future season will ever top it.
I read into it that it was the juxtaposition from him choosing the family life then cut to what his life was like, alone in the jungle. Felt like it followed the arc of the show which was really about his progression through life via this case. But maybe I’m reading too much into it. Lol.
I’m not willing to go there, but it was good. The same complaints about this finale were there for season 1 as well, people just forgot.
I actually thought the bar scene was used relatively effectively.
I actually think the only reason the scene was goofy was because of the dumb humor. The actual bar fight mirrored Tom earlier in the season, eventually leading to Roland coming there and safely leading him away and eventually towards sobriety. Roland didn’t have anyone to come guide him though though and was alone until the dog showed up, which we know eventually led him to a life somewhat exiled from humans with just his canine friends.
ooh, I just saw today that they are revisiting the Mall in a new Jay and Silent Bob flick.
Yeah, ok...the dog scene was cute but jesus, Dorf is all of 5'6" in platform shoes and we're to believe he took on an entire biker bar and lived to tell about it. Yeah, okay.
See, I always wondered....all these butt-faced human pieces of garbage out there, walking the earth, whose makin' 'em? I mean what kinda Frankenstein monsters are out there copulating to create all these hunks o' sh## people in the world? then I come in this bar, and here's you two, giving me the answer I been looking for my whole f'in life
He didn't look very damaged to me. Was expecting far worse.
Huh I thought for sure you were going to say a nonsensical man-fish and some magic floors.
