Taboo

cao: 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.

Actually the writers (Bret Marling and Zach) claim otherwise....apparently its the imagination of the boys and not OA's direct recollection which is even more ridiculous if you think about it. Apparently thats why 'french' had that homer transform moment

cao: 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.

Couldnt go past episode 3.....very poor execution (Kill whatshisface and movie is over with no need to infect him and all the other bruhaha that came along with that)

cao: 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.

@Bolded....She needed strong and flexible and brave and apparently a little mad

Big B99 fan here too....i feel the end of the last episode was just overkill. Now everyone is going to be praying and sulking instead of the fun time we are used to....

Freciprocal:
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

Watched it multiple times now....havent heard anything

Freciprocal:
@ 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

Dude....now you are grasping for straws . So Hap used the other guys to travel to this dimension to stop a gunman from killing some kids he dosent know and getting himself stuck here where he can be easily arrested

Huh, whoa they really did style/weirdness over substance, oh boy....Anywho, I'm surprised you didn't mention Zach's surname, Batmanglig, rather hard to forget. I always have a mini "I'm Batman" moment, every time I see it, i.e. every episode, since he's a co-creator and directed all the episodes.

As for London Spy, I didn't get past episode 1, I was doing everything except actually watching the thing. Over 20 minutes had past and BBC iPlayer was watching me.

Oh yeah, that happened in B99, we shall see. They'll probably make it work.

Just finished OA

That is some very abstract stuff.

In this part of the world,you swallow bird? You don collect witchcraft be that o
Waste of my mb tho.

sweettease:
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

Blacklist has no continuity, an episode for an enemy..i hate movies lyk dat.....compared to movies lyk 24,a whole season u might still be searching for an enemy n not gt im.
.
Btw the 100 is an amazing movie
.

Wanna see Blindspot..hope its not an episode 4 an enemy as well. make i no waste mb.

It's seem more centered on invoking the effect of the supernatural dimensions than an intriguing plot actually... A single POV for a whole series is not a good series in my own opinion.

It takes quite a lot for sci-fi/supernatural series to impress me that much. I can hardly remember any offhand.

lol, it's not the best but it's not terrible if you ask me. I am still on it sha but I understand. The movie I struggled to prevent wasted him cos I kept being hopeful was Mr Robot, it had a very good beginning and a fair first season, then I don't know what happened

Don't think so.

I checked and the final episode of the current season comes out on the 15th.

Yea, on IMDB. But with the way the show is going, there are some theories about a 4th episode

“There was once a merchant in the famous market at Baghdad. One day he saw a stranger looking at him in surprise. And he knew that the stranger was death. Pale and trembling the merchant fled the market place and made his way many many miles to the city of Samarra. For there he was sure death could not find him. But when at last he came to Samarra the merchant saw waiting for him the grim figure of death. “Very well” said the merchant. “I give in. I am yours. But tell me, why did you look surprised when you saw me this morning in Baghdad?” “Because,” said death, “I had an appointment with you tonight in Samarra.”
