even with Krystal
There's definitely something a little 'final season of Lost' about introducing all of these new characters and themes and locales at the eleventh hour instead of wrapping up everything that came before, but as someone mentioned above...I barely even remember the intricacies of the plot at this point. It's really all about the character interactions for me. Which is why they need to stop dicking around and just get all of the clones and Felix and S and Art and Donnie and Delphine the Rabbit Hole twins together and just let them enjoy one another's company for a few episodes.

Popping in quickly here. My wife and I have seen the first three episodes of season 1. She's not really on board and likely won't ask to watch more. Should I bother trying to convince her, or do we already have a pretty good idea what the show will be like?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 July 2017 03:23 (six years ago) link
if she's not on board after the first 3 then idk that it'll impress her

Rachel is secretly one of the best OB characters. That last scene though!

only about halfway through so this could backfire, but I'm cracking up at the "new" Alison
― mh, Monday, 24 July 2017 00:26 (six years ago) link
ok, jamming to the keyboard preset was the punchline
― mh, Monday, 24 July 2017 00:27 (six years ago) link
Fuck I KNEW Rachel was gonna do that as soon as the eye thing was revealed. I just kept waiting and waiting for it. And then had to mostly cover my face and not watch it.

yuuup. that was one of the nastier things I've seen on television recently

This season has been brutal, and not in the black-comedy way of past seasons (e.g. The mobsters Helena slaughtered or Donnie accidentally blowing Leekie's brains out)

it was cool to see more Matt Frewer but I kept thinking "head in a bag!"

I just got up to speed by reading the episode synopses on wikipedia, and even though some big things have happened in the last three I don't feel like I need to see them. Looking forward to Saturday night when this is all finally over.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 10 August 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link
the last two eps have been better, things actually "hapening" etc
still not great

That was such an emotionally satisfying finale. I love how they disposed with all the obviously rubbish villains within the first 15mins or so and just spent the rest of the episode giving us what we've been wanting all along.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 13 August 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
So is that it or are there any offshoots planned or anything?
I thought that finished off taht particular narrative quite effectively anyway.
JUst hoping we are going to hear from Tatiana Maslany before too long with as strong a role or set of roles. She is obviously pretty versatile. The ability to play off herself or off the substitute they shoot with is pretty phenomenal.

This is it for television
The merchandising is churning a little, every action/science fiction television show has some sort of comic book spinoff. For the people that buy those things, probably not anyone who actually works on the tv show, just some people writing little stories of other clones.
Even after the credits rolled and they had the little dancing clip with all the different clones, I have this mental disconnect where I know all of the clones are played by one woman, but I still look at them and see different people
― mh, Monday, 14 August 2017 15:46 (six years ago) link
enjoyed the finale a lot -- especially the sistrahs hanging out together
omg @ babies eating sand. lololol

It might have been only on the live broadcast. They kept teasing "clone club, watch after the credits for something special!"

Just finally watched the last season of this -- we watched the first 4 in real time, but we were wrapped up in other things when season 5 rolled around. We weren't even sure we needed to watch because we'd gotten a little tired of it by the end of S4. But we got totally sucked back in in a few episodes and overall enjoyed the last season. They labored mightily to try to tie everything together, and the effort showed, but I respected the attempt at coherence. Mostly just loved the characters, as usual. Good show, satisfying ending. It's my favorite Buffy-ish thing since Buffy.

yeah otm. even the bumpy ride towards the end was kinda buffyish in its way.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 August 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
In the end the conspiracy seemed a bit small potatoes compared to what it felt like in S1, but I guess that's a) inevitable when you have several seasons to get hyped for it and b) kinda the point, i.e. the emperor has no clothes?
Agreed this was a really good show w/ lots of loveable characters.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 27 August 2018 10:01 (five years ago) link
Is it even possible to do a multi-season conspiracy show without the continual drawing-back-the-curtain getting boring or ridiculous?

I see Tatiana Maslany is in Destroyer but have yet to see that.Hope she is going to have an interesting film career or more well made quirky TV.

I catastrophically lost interest in this, about halfway during the second season. Was it worth it?
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 21:00 (four years ago) link
I enjoyed it while it was happening, but I think they totally punted the final act.

I absolutely loved this show and to my shame I dipped halfway thru the last season
