HFS. I feel like an awful person for laughing at this section:
we started watching the show... I think we're 3 eps into it before stopping. we may get back to it, but basically the show for us was about getting to the bottom line- was this guy THAT bad of a doctor, or intentionally doing all this stuff. I guess we were not so interested about the rest of it.
I really like Jonathan Majors, but I gave up on this one pretty quickly. it was like if Mississippi Burning, Fright Night, and Goonies had a threesome...but not in a good way.
I’m enjoying it as well. The last guy is a bit silly at times but then I realized that he was kind of that way in real life. Not exactly the same but it reminded me of Joffrey in GOT in that your hate of Joffrey makes you forget that the actor is playing his role well. Not saying this guy is a great actor, but he’s a magic teacher, got denied on his proposal and has to have his parents pay for his rent. Once you remember that, you can see that his lameness suits him. He will do stupid things and he won’t be 5 steps ahead like the agent (liked her as well).
I enjoyed the first 2 season but couldn't get into s3 at all. Grew an appreciation for David Tennant while watching that show
where are you in the plot? be aware...the show falls FAR off the deep end coming up. I was a huge fan of the earlier seasons- I love the post-apoc genre, and they were handling all of it incredibly well- solid writing, characters and world building. As much as I tried to hang on after the writing fell apart, I just couldn't eventually and had to pull the plug. It went from have to see live tv to I'll catch it later and speed through the commercials to I'll get to it later in the week to meh- this is a waste of my time.yak651 said:
so dumb. I also enjoyed the first season in spite of the dumb. I stumbled onto S2 the other night...your worry is apt, at least a few into things. not sure I'll continue, even though the eps are short.soothsayer said:
great googly moogly...the two dancing girls that are the curse of the daughter- my favorite creepy element to a show I can remember.
Last night watched some of season 5, up to where Beth gets caught trying to escape the hospital and ends with Karen (think that's her name, short hair lady) is brought in. That's disappointing that it goes off the rails, was enjoying it so far. No commercials on Netflix so each episode goes by at a good pace. So when it was on AMC was there nudity? Keep seeing the rating at top with gore, violence, nudity but haven't seen any yet
huh...IIRC, there's no frontal (boobs) nudity, but there may have been some butts. and lots and lots of dongs.Last night watched some of season 5, up to where Beth gets caught trying to escape the hospital and ends with Karen (think that's her name, short hair lady) is brought in.

We also watched late and enjoyed the early seasons... but we stopped once a new character was introduced... I don't remember the season, and I can't say much w/out spoilers... it was beyond your current season.

Watched it last night. Solid point on Yorrick, the actor is doing his job if I think he's lame. And man, now lying about him being engaged and being resistant to help, yeah, he's super lame. Maybe the arc for him is one of growing up and becoming a better person?
Absolutely think it will be about him becoming a man so to speak. Glad you agree on the explosion. I thought it immediately even though I felt like the show was trying to blame it on those evil Republicans who of course would fire a rocket lol. I felt stronger about it because she didn’t go into defensive mode, watch out for the next rocket.
I don’t recall any nudity except maybe a butt or too.Last night watched some of season 5, up to where Beth gets caught trying to escape the hospital and ends with Karen (think that's her name, short hair lady) is brought in.

Lol. I did a double take too. He and I had a lot of discussions on Lost in here. That was around 15 years ago. Damn.hulk is still here
Literally part of that stretch where Carol was the best thing about that show, far and away.
LMAO. I didn't post here for a couple years. Took off from fantasy football last year, this year it dragged me back and I figured I'd stop by the FFA.
I dumped FF a few years ago, a great choice as it sucked way too much time especially when the kids were big and had their own games. That was the primary reason I came here until Lost. Honestly, there’s only a few threads I really frequent. I do remember those Lost discussions. HFS, the shark with the Dharma symbol.
pretty ####### cool
I watched ep 1 & 2 last night based on the recommendations here. Does it get better?
1- I had similar thoughts. this does get addressed.
Lol. I enjoyed the ending way more than you. I think I watched some of it with my oldest, but we didn’t get far.
fwiw, we watched Lost front to back with our kids (9 & 13 at the time) during the lockdown. they LOVED it. and I actually didn't mind the last couple seasons this time around..but was reminded of how great those first couple seasons were before they started making it up as they went along.
I don’t think they made it up, just didn’t end like people thought it would. I remember from day 1 they said they had the plan mapped out. If you remember there were filler episodes (the actors and the spiders) in I think season 3 and the show runners said that they didn’t want to do that anymore. They admitted that ABC made them make filler episodes to get to 24 per season. That’s when they said 3 more seasons, 16 episodes a piece. Abrams, Lindelof and Cuse have done a lot of other decent work so I tend to believe them that they had the end game in mind. Again, might not have been everyone’s favorite but I think making it up puts it in the same bucket as say Matrix 2 and 3, which were clearly, crap we made a lot what do we do next. We also didn’t have creative differences and change showrunners like TWD and watch it become meh. I loved the early stuff more than the ending but still liked it all.
I was a massive, massive fan but I tapped out in season 8 when I heard a particular major character was leaving the show the next year. The writing was never the greatest but it went downhill very quickly after season 4 & 5. There’s still some good stuff in between the “WTF were they thinking” moments. But once the cast starts seeing the writing on the wall and starts leaving, you know things have gotten bad.Last night watched some of season 5, up to where Beth gets caught trying to escape the hospital and ends with Karen (think that's her name, short hair lady) is brought in.
