That ending was brilliant, but I can understand how people who like everything to be roses and sunshine wouldn’t appreciate it. Stick to teen melodrama.

I liked wayward pines. If they kept going the story wouldve got even better. A lot of horror/thriller shows dont get chances because of the critics wants to overthink everything

He tried to kill himself. That’s why he stepped out of the car - he was waiting for something to tear him limb from limb. He was giving everyone else a relatively peaceful exit, and sacrificing himself to whatever agonizing fate came along next. Which, it turned out, was spending the rest of his life knowing that…

Wow. I really think you missed the point there. He thought he was sparing his son a fate worse than death. Now he has to live with the horrible realization he was wrong. There’s nothing remotely sentimental about it. It’s pure horror.

You may be alone in this one, pal.

Soo.... which of his compatriots would you have had him sentence to a terrifying, painful death in his stead? And how would that choice have fit with his character? I think the ending is thematically perfect, if maybe a bit overplayed in the performance. But who cares about my opinion? What does Stephen King have to…

Frank was working with a bunch of members of TWD cast going back to the 90s. It’s why he keeps using them.

He thought he was going to die. He selflessly chose the more painful death, but now has to live with the guilt of surviving and acting a few minutes too soon.

Did you even watch the movie or just read a synopsis? The film showed that there were fates far worse than death possible (how many days did those people at the pharmacy live for while being eaten from within by spiders?) at the hands (or claws) of the things in the mist, given the same choice I’d shoot my kid. It…

If you pay attention, you’ll notice there’s five of them and he had a revolver, which only sticks six bullets. He used two, and if I recall you can even see him check and see he only has four shots left. They all seemed to agree that dying quickly and near painlessly (I hope) would be a much better fate than being…

That ending was genius, it spends the entire movie building itself up as a creature horror film and then at the last minute transforms into a much more realistic, hard hitting and entirely different kind of horror. Sure it’s not easy to watch but it’s nowhere near a bad ending.

The Atari home computer line is actually what they were leveraging for the longest time. The consoles like the 2600 and 7800 were absolute garbage in capability and library, but the 400, 800, and 800XL were what they made their money on. Chances are if you had a computer in the US in 1984 it was either an Atari or a…

When I was little, I would always look at these Ataris people had in their living room like they were some fantastic gaming system. I mean, they had joysticks just like an arcade game.

A ton of Shovelware. But along with that, you get PacMan, Pong, Pitfall, Asteroids, Breakout, Space Invaders, Centipede, Combat, Missile Command, Frogger, Joust, Q*Bert... Atari is definitely to blame for the Console Crash of the 80's, but there’s enough classics in there that they could copy Nintendo’s Nostalgia…

That 2600 version of Pac Man is the one that really stands out in terms of just how craptastic it was. Shit, the developers didn’t even attempt to replicate the original game in the least. The only similarities were dots, ghosts, walls, and a gigantic chunky yellow blob that sort of resembled Pac Man.

I was a kid when Atari was huge like with the 2600. I’ll never for the life of me understand the nostalgia for those damn things. There are maybe a dozen games that were even any good by the standards of the early 80s. 99.99999% of the games were shovelware garbage. It’s a large part of what led to the crash of 83.…

I don’t remember this bit of dialogue, but apparently Ten ventures that the Ice Warriors froze the waters of Mars to prevent the Flood from spreading. That would also fit with the atmospheric disaster. Headcanon accomplished.

My biggest quibble with this episode is that it took place beneath one of the polar ice caps, made oblique mentions to the destruction of the Ice Warrior race and the desolation of Mars, and didn’t once call back to The Flood from “The Waters of Mars”. It’s obvious from the painting and other touches that they wanted…

It’s no different with a prequel. They’re still conforming to events, unable to really use established characters or even mention them since they don’t exist yet. After VOY doesn’t mean 100 years, it could be 10-20 and we all know every series seems to be able to conjure up some enemy to threaten the Federation, so…

The Kelvin was so carefully designed to mimic Old Trek, that they even had exploding computer consoles and clots of wires and piping hanging from the ceiling after being severely damaged. Every ship after that in the new movies doesn’t have that problem because they decided after that attack that enough was enough. :P
