Freciprocal: I partially agree with the bolded.....If you remember she told the FBI guy that her re-occuring dream was in a place with high glass and the sound of cutlery....Also they was a bit about a mass shooter on the loose My issue with it is that the execution was just darn stupid....My reaction at the last scene was initially a sarcastic clap followed by a WTF |

cao: Do you think the whole story is BS? How many POV do you think is telling the story? What do you think of her last words and her dazed state at the very end? I think the ending of episode 5 is one of the best scenes of 2016. |

mkmyers45:POV storywise is clearly from OA, when she's telling the story, but it makes you wonder how she knows certain POVs (eg Hap & his colleague's story), which of course makes you wonder if she's making it up, which does help in making the viewer doubt themselves. There are times it felt like proper BS - the writers trying to tell us a story, but using style/weirdness over substance. Some of the boys could have been more developed (eg the stoner). But, those final 10 minutes of episode 8 can make you feel like you just wasted your time. Before anyone starts, I'm a fan of slow paced shows and even a bigger fan of weird sci-fi, in fact the only slow paced show of recent that I've hated was London Spy - I was bored off my tits and my body refused to pay attention. Anywho, like I've said a few times, episode 8 doesn't have a true payoff. I was actually quite annoyed when it was obvious I'd have to wait for season 2 for the payoff, now I understand why the ratings are less than 2.5 on Netflix. All in all, The OA is well acted, well produced, but it could have told a better story. Sidebar: I've been calling Steve - Delinquent Douche, in fact I've been referring to him as that exclusively. Sidebar 2: For anyone who's been on the fence with Travelers. I've enjoyed it so far, the only reason I haven't finished it - I've been reading ebooks and been distracted by my endless rewatch of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. B99 is my go to sleep material, which doesn't always lead to actual sleep. Seriously, every time I finish, I immediately start it again. Without fail. |

KealDrogo:My personal favorite is How to Get Away With Murder My favorite for comedy series is Blackish closely followed by Fresh off the boat If you like Marvel/DC comics, you'll like The Flash If you like spooky/horror, you'll like Salem If you like FBI/CIA things, Blindspot or The Blacklist For Epic Drama, Vikings is there For Sci fi, I heard the 100 is cool but I've not seen it personally, it's on my list, I haven't completed Westworld so I can't give a full review but it seems cool Those are the ones I can recall now 2 Likes |

cao: In the ending scene with the white walls, it's taken from the exact scene in episode two, I think, when she explains to the five why she disappeared. It's from her dream, where she can see her papa holding 21 candles. I didn't catch it the first time, but when I re-watched the series I noticed it. The walls are the same, her hair is the same, everything. I believe that she made it to the other dimension, but not the one with Homer, the one where her father was waiting for her. And, since in order to get to that other dimension, she had to make a sacrifice. Like when she got her sight back, she had to give up her papa. She eventually got to him, but not after awhile. I'm typing this because I think she'll never make it back to the 5 (the ones in the school) because the ambulance was a portal, and she gave up the 5 in order to travel. Khatun said that once she learned sacrifice, the seed or 'bird' that she ate would show her the way. She already did sacrifice by giving up her papa, and she got her sight. Let's say she gave up the 5 and traveled through the dimension. |

mkmyers45: She was describing the last scene.... she's talking to the FBI guy about her dream where its a place with a lot of window and high roofs, also sometime else in the show when she says she heard something like the clinging of silverware, all that represents the cafeteria, and also the five cracks in the window show that the movements worked, and they all became one to send OA away to homer, and when Steve is looking at the ambulance and he looks up, you hear the whoosh sound hap was talking about in the beginning of the show, there is a lot to it, more than many people think mkmyers45: @ Bolded should be replaced by WOW!!!... Some believe Dr Hap took down the shooter (Watch it again ) if anything, its a sign of their spiritual connection and more coincidental magic. they all work up that day, the day that matters unbeknownst to them, and all wore the same color. thats their connection creating a "coincidence". Just like if her stories of magic werent actually true, they created Real Life Magic in the form of bringing them together in the right place for the right thing at the right time |

Freciprocal:And yet again, you've clearly missed the point I've been trying to make. The 5 did the movements against the gunman (since it looks like I can't keep being vague about it), they had no clue about OA being there, until after the fact. So, it didn't really make any sense why they did it in the first place. Now, you could say they tried to save the students, but as we saw that didn't actually happen. Instead we get a "portal" for OA. At least, it distracted the gunman. The gunman angle came from nowhere, the only time a gunman was ever mentioned was on the radio during BBA's senior chin fat moment (like I mentioned earlier). If that's the same gunman, what the heck was his motive? If it's a student from the school, we never saw that student's motive? |

so no one here is seeing BEYOND or have seen it |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by cao(f): 7:20pm On Jan 09, 2017 |
mkmyers45:I see I'm not the only one that remembers this, I tend to watch my shows with the subtitles enabled - it's amazing the things you can miss. I did have a similar reaction with cafeteria and the final scene, I've already mentioned my exact reaction earlier. |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Freciprocal: 7:40pm On Jan 09, 2017 |
cao: There's a chance that the shooter was the student that Steve attacked early in the series Another possibility is that the shooter was someone who has a connection to Prairie's past — either in Russia or with Hap — and sought to hurt her friends Yet another possibility is that the shooter has a connection to the FBI, as there are many theories that Prairie's FBI therapist was involved in some kind of cover-up of Hap's experiments. There are no clear answers to this question, but if this mystery was intentionally left unresolved, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a theme in future seasons of The OA (Expert reviews) |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by cao(f): 8:19pm On Jan 09, 2017 |
Freciprocal:If it was the singing student he was jealous of, that's a gross overreaction. The shooter being FBI is hella silly, the other views are also silly, they could have simply taken OA & her friends out quite easily. Plus, the therapist only knew about her friends after the other shooting incident. From the story alone, it's implied that it's related to the unknown gunman story. As we all know scripts aren't supposed to supply a plot point without using it. Of course, we've seen enough films with enough plot holes and unused plot points. |
