Bro the discourse around this s*** is so stupid because the ones crying are obviously angry about it not being not being American slop and than turning around and trying to act like that’s not why they are mad
Yall are addicted to the word slop
manousos almost died, had to be lifted to a hospital by the hive, carol gave in and tried to kill herself, she asked them to come back and reunited with zosia... a lot happened. we got some slow montage scenery scenes of manousos adventure and carol doing I Am Legend s*** for like 20 mins. the intention is not to "bore" the audience he's assuming people have some patience and enjoy the slow burn. we already know next episode is plot heavy from the description, I want to live in the world with the characters for a little bit, why is that inherently "dreadful" and "boring" unless you have low tolerance for this kind of pacing & worldbuilding
Also, the fact that it isn’t dialogue-heavy doesn’t mean we aren’t being given characterization. For instance, Manousos is so utterly convinced he’ll reverse the effects of the hivemind and “save the world” that he leaves money behind for the gas he took - because he genuinely believes things will return to normal, and those individuals deserve be paid
The show doesnt have a large cast, it's really just 4 actual characters so it feels pretty empty. There's extended moments of no dialouge. The overall plot doesnt move forward that much per episode. The show is pretty slow paced and I can get why people might not fw that.
But I feel like the slow burn is just Vince style and it'll pay off. It might be more exaggerated here because the cast is small. But I appreciate and enjoy all the world building and visual storytelling elements going on
like these little moments in this season that people might think are boring or insignificant can become something larger in the future. Thats just how vince does things.
Like I can see this show being extremely rewarding upon rewatch after the season or show is over.
I agree with all of this and an adverse reaction to some not loving it outright isn’t necessarily. It’s a shoe that can bring feelings of being alone , depression or isolation
Go slower Vince. Do the silent episode Vince. You know how much everyone treated The Fly at first now look. Go slower Vince.

Rian Johnson directed that episode
Tiktok truly has made ppl in this thread unable to see the beauty in true cinema
Couldn’t make it past episode 2. Writing was horrible and main character is unlikable

Rian Johnson directed that episode
Yeah but thats the ep most people refer to when talking about the pacing in a Gilliganverse project, it came up so much during the BCS discourse
I would place wagers most of the people you are s*** talking don’t even have tik tok installed
I would place wagers most of these people have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

The first “I can’t do that” from Zosia gonna hit like crack for so many different reasons including this one

Obviously it’s already been established they wouldn’t do anything that would harm the plurality system
I guess that information would be like cracc to you

Fam I understand you fumbled the Ritalin joke but please get off my d***
I just noticed all the reviews for this season only had the first 7 episodes, so the next 2 are now uncharted territory for everybody s***s about to get serious..
Fam I understand you fumbled the Ritalin joke but please get off my d***
Definitely not
Watch this guy not explain what he meant with the Ritalin stuff just like he can’t explain what’s going on in this show
Fam I understand you fumbled the Ritalin joke but please get off my d***
Bro is furious he doesn’t get it

Carol does take a penny leave a penny because she still wants to believe in the value of community and unity .
