This became emotionally very strong.
And such beautiful images.
How do you make something look so 1979? I mean even the filming technique, not just what we see and hear. It does look like it’s filmed analogue.
And the light? It’s like it’s seeping through people. This thing already is a trip, haha. Panos Cosmosis… Cosmatos. Indeed.
What a flick! It’s somewhat reminiscent of the episode 3, The Autopsy, as it is a somewhat similar topic.
Ah I can’t stop thinking outlander during this. And also, so frustrating to be Gusman. Especially when you think you’re in a community where people will believe you, and yet they don’t.
I feel so bad for Thurber, but at the same time he’s felling all those bad decisions… moments I also recognise. Those few moments when you KNOW you really shouldn’t, you really really shouldn’t, when this bad foreboding feeling grabs you… and then you either heed it or you don’t.
This is a story of what unfolds when you do not.
Richard seems genuinely happy to have found someone who shares his view of the darkness (funny the actor would be the Darkling too haha), yet he is also somewhat unhinged so not trusting that genuineness.
Is that a particular accent he’s having or is he just insane? Sometimes the way he pronounces things makes you hear one or two things. Is he inviting to his wake or is he asking Thurber to wait? Both? Both.
Superb!
The imagery with the spider catching things in its web – fantastic.
The end was hard to watch, the body horror was real.
Fantastic filming!
Story of a greedy bastard who didn’t know when to stop.
Loved the creature… is a rat or a sloggoth?
Fantastic terrors down in the black church. How is it that this idiot keeps fighting rats, but none of them have ever actually hurt him other than that one bite in the beginning, and a little slash?
This is making so uncomfortable, I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep watching. It’s making me more uncomfortable than curious to see where this is going :sweat_smile:
I hoped that maybe in the end, the cat king and Edwin would become some thing after all. I mean, COME ON :sob:
I will definitely miss him.
And Niko… I’ll expect her to return. It’s been foreshadowed after all. Just a bit differently than it would suggest in the end.
The doll house reference made me smile. And then, despair makes a show, whoohooop! Although I still don’t like her adaption. Despair is so gross and ugly, and they put a pretty, big lady to play her. Just doesn’t scream Lady Despair to me.
I was wondering – almost an entire episode without the cat king? Glad he showed up, although it didn’t work out too well for him.
I love David the Demon xD
And the cat king is fantastic. As is Niko.
I love how they bring up things that have happened to them on the past without explaining anything. Why would they? And it spurs on the imagination. Like what is the great chewing gum debacle?! What could that possibly be?
What a whacky show!
“Best mates” yeah I bet; that’s totally the vibe you give off.
A glowing squid as a pet?? “You cannot keep her”??? Bags of holdings?? This is going to be either really good or really bad, innit?
Everything leans on the presumed fact the San-Ti cannot lie. However, they might be expert liars. Is everyone just this gullible?
I’ve never had many friends. But thanks to you guys it always seemed like enough
Whatever happened to the game though? Did it just magically disintegrate? Or suddenly become obsolete once two people figured out why the San-Ti were coming? And why the need of a game convoluted like this to then just turn on the players later on. Seems like a huge waste of energy.
Ok that part of him going to London was pointless. Why would he take the big journey all the way up there just to turn back because … he saw Jin and Raj. And that being the one moment he’d “realise something”. Meh.
And for a tailing job to only use one man? That seems unprofessional.
Killing all science… hmm.
Well, this is taking off now. Mirror cities. How terrifyingly cool is that.
I guess everyone would believe something if they suddenly saw an eye in the sky.
You’d think that after communicating with extra terrestrials for this long, Evans would have covered lying and metaphors with them.
Oh, it’s heating up.
Finally the three bodies make sense. Also looking forward to seeing what they’re “being recruited for”.
And these other guys on the game – when will we meet them?
“Let’s kill this quam-puta” has easily been the best quote this week.
I like the story / premise so far but not entirely sold as how they’re trying to pull it off. I’m not convinced by all of the actors and their work. Maybe the 30-episode one Chinese version would :grimacing:
I CALLED IT gods I am so proud of myself hahaha
But uh oh when he said cluster B… I flinched. There’s a cluster A somewhere isn’t there …
In which the big clue brings me back to my “unlikely suspicions” from a few episodes back. I’m back on there now. Guys you’re looking in the wrong direction.
How can Darby be this cold when pools in Iceland as default are hot water :thinking:
Again a show with many good points. There’s the climate thing and how we’re destroying the planet – in a sense. How really just the richest can do anything about it, but also we’re so self centred. The planet won’t care. We’d just destroy ourselves and the current life, and new life would happen.
And this thing about the cigarettes and how nowadays it’s the phones. Yes.
“We are powerless to ice, to wind, to cruelty.”
And how when you’ve experienced the vast nothingness and death of the universe, life on earth suddenly becomes so precious.
Running thoughts commentary.
Watch how suddenly suspicious Sian seems much less suspicious by being … up front? If we believe her not knowing how to hack of course and all that. She seems pretty smart. So suspicions are back on.
So Rohan and Bill were in some sort of thing together, and both got killed for it. There were three cups though so probably someone else on the team was with them and likely to be targeted next. I would guess the Chinese lady, she keeps having reactions, and also did not love seeing all those self organising AI.
also suspecting someone outside of the team, as Rohan signalled to someone who seemed to not be part of the household.
Then there’s always staff – easily overlooked, immediately suspicious. The head concierge has been fishy from the start, and still is.
Then there’s the rich pedophile… we love hating him so he’s probably not it.
Still Andy is the most suspicious one! That never changed.
Who else here thought Zoomer was really Bill’s kid, ever since their interaction at the table and Andy’s glare?
Also not me wondering how a car parked in Iceland forever would be warm enough for them not to have visible breath clouds. Also not me rolling my eyes at people thinking they know how to drive in a fucking blizzard in Iceland. :upside_down:
Hate when suddenly everyone seems suspicious. Both the people who seemed sad and the people who seem unfazed by it. Everyone who talks to Darby now seems suspicious, as well as those who don’t. Tomas was fishy already when she ran into him but he doesn’t seem the mask wearing type.
“The eight richest men in the world hold the same wealth as the 3.6 billion poorest people.”
And suddenly Ray doesn’t have a hot Bath drawn for Darby. Pshhh.
Andy’s unblinking stare is unnerving. As is the way he tends to be filmed from half in the shadows. We’re MEANT to suspect him, right? Just everything he does and how he comes across is soooo wrong.
But now I’m starting to suspect the unlikely - maybe the killer isn’t any of the guests. Maybe the killer is Ray.
Ayyy. And the immediate suspects are of course, Andy, because obviously he’s fishy somehow, and apparently Bill wasn’t invited by him.
Secondly the astronaut, she’s also fishy, and she was made cool right from the start so we would like her. But Lei also had some sort of reaction which also makes her suspicious in some sense.
I won’t believe it’s Lee yet, I think she wanted Darby there to prevent something or help figure out the truth.
Slight hiccup, but… If Mitchell had made a film with Ray then he would know you had to be literal with it. That little piece with the lights was a bit unnecessary.
And that last scene of Bill and Darby meeting for the first time… almost broke my heart. Ugh. Great acting.
I love all about this so far.
The unlikely crime solver(s), and, the thought that maybe groups like Andy’s do exist in real life, that is a comforting thought.
Yet I can’t help but thinking at this point, Lee invited Darby to solve her own murder-to-be.
Is what I thought. Well.
Hmm… Why is he targeting people from the home, if it’s all about Lucy and her child, yet enlists some others in help (PeePee).
And why kill others from the orphanage to rile him up when he’s taking people that weren’t even “important” to Will to start with? Or did he not know which of the many children was Lucy’s child? Then that would make a bit more sense, but it never appeared to be such.
I watched this without knowing anything about it and…
This is already so weird! I love weird.
At first it irked me how people want to make her seem like the crazy one, I always hate that. But then it’s like I myself feel a bit crazy. The show keeps dropping lines that give me deja vus.
The first time was when her aunt says “she was like a sister to me”, that whole line, and I thought there was one like “he is like a brother” at which another person gets mad and replies “why is it always LIKE a brother why can’t it be just brother” sort of thing, and it feels like it might be from the film “The Humans”.
Then this “your trash is now my treasure”
And with the princess thing I already felt like I was going a bit insane somewhere in the back of my mind.
And just when we’re thinking she’s just “simply” sleepwalking but not actually going anywhere else, she… does? And where the hell did that cat go. Is it now in another time line?
And why the f does her ancestor? want to kill Rufus?
So her mother was “sleepwalking” like this too? And it killed her eventually?
I’m having SO MANY QUESTIONS.
And the show is giving deja vus inside of deja vus. The “princess” and the “ride” topic for one. Even the patrolman looked a bit like Kevin.
I’m just so fucking glad Kevin is not one of those people to think she’s crazy.
Lucy… I didn’t see that coming.
