"The OA" on Netflix, with spoilers

haha wow "I'm Jason Isaacs"
Inland Empire vibes there although with Inland Empire I predicted that part.

This whole series leaned waaay too much on characters remembering/being told by mysterious strangers/ being told by fckn octopi/ having a feeling that someone is nearby but can't quite tell who or why but let's just go over there/ having a dream that they need to go somewhere but they don't really know why - JUST ENOUGH to get them to the next bit then into the "The Cell starring J-Lo" house. Homer remembering important pieces at exactly the right time (or wrong time I suppose) really pissed me off, nothing really made it happen other than Nina being convincing?

Why did eating a bit of the brain flower make Perd Hapley /Hap Percy hear the first few moments of the next dimension and why did he think that 'omg call an ambulance' sounded like a good place to go and could he even choose to go to someplace else? How did he get all the kids into the pool in that dimension? Also wtf at the start of ep6 or whatever with his dream of licking ye olden days back for the price of a bunch of sticks?

also excited to see who's president in this dimension

:(

Bull. Shit.

NOOOOOOO

THR's chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg called the mysterious drama a "failed, but not wholly worthless, experiment in TV autoerotism.

For all of its goofiness, I really loved this show, and if they truly had it all plotted out, I'm bummed that we won't get to see where it was going.

we should do the movements and see what happens

ugh terrible news, I loved this show, both seasons of it.

I thought this show was very special even if most people would probably be inclined to ensconce that sentiment in scare quotes.

You know, I would have been OK with this after the first season, but now that they've proven that (to my surprise) they can pull off "just set up some new weird thing which will be weird in a similarly OA way but different" once, I feel like maybe they could pull it off several more times, and I'm sad they won't get to.

This sounds like some major wishful thinking, but who knows?

Paddy Gibson as Steve as "Paddy Gibson" on the final scene of "Part II."

Aces.

that would be fucking awesome and it makes sense. I'll hold out hope.

Can anyone else imagine some sort of 'we want sauce' Rick and Morty bullshit from OA fans?
