Missed cameo opportunity on Home Improvement?

The most bootable offense of all time.

Tom Hanks is playing Col Tom Parker, except he’s playing him as a really nice guy who genuinely cares about his client. He will single handedly cure Elvis of his drug addiction, his Oedipal complex, help him lose weight and will firmly but gently guide him into the 5th decade of his career as America’s most beloved…

Just you wait, they’ll be able to synthesize a vaccine from Hanks’ blood, thereby making him the savior of humanity.  

Look what you did!

“Rob Liefeld physicality”

Mary’s been “I’d make a fantastic side-kick” for 2 episodes now.  I’m beyond appreciative that  she’s not “I’m so betrayed!!  Angst!” like so many DCCWTV characters before her.

I don’t have a lot of experience killing monsters, but I’d be burning that body. And when there’s only a pile of ash left, I put it in a can and then blow it up with a stick of dynamite. But that’s just me. 

I’m not so sure that the writers are angling for a second season. El Cuco wondering if there are others like him and Holly worrying that it got into her head are both things from the book. In the book, El Cuco if I remember correctly kinda pesters Holly in the cave asking her if she had come across anything like him…

I completely agree. It was pre-prestige television era cheesiness. 

My tv must’ve been too dark. I think that whole mid-credits scene was lame, in a horror cliché way.

But nowhere in the show did we see the creature touch her or even get close enough

Killing Andy was completely unnecessary. It added nothing to the plot except a vocal “goddammit” from some viewers. Like shooting a dog for no reason.

And the fact that they made this 10 episodes when it should have been six at the absolute most shows how the new HBO mandate is working.

They talk to the monster and realizes that he’s no different than any other being in nature and it’s not its fault what it does anymore than what a lion does to an antelope. They hide Jack’s body in the cave and cause it to collapse further and lay all the murders on him. Then the monsters takes Jack's form and he and…

I simply turned off the show at the credits to avoid any way it could add something in to make me think the story continues.  I’m done with story elements in credits. If the show wants me to tell me  a story it does it before the credits. Also, get off my lawn.

If nothing else, I really loved all the scenes of the protagonists trying to wrap their minds around what is happening, being in denial, and now having lots of possibilities in front of them. I don’t think a down-to-earth story rocked by supernatural forces has ever done that element better than this show.

Mid- and post-credit sequences need to die. In the modern world of streaming with skippable intros and credits, this is a recipe for disaster. Even in the MCU movies that made this a thing, it was about rewarding diehard fan viewers with a small taste of future developments rather than a vehicle for crucial plot devel…

For me, Jason Bateman’s speech in the prison, where he talks about teaching Ralph’s son to bunt, was the high point of this production. That was one hell of a performance. I’ve been a fan of Jason Bateman a long time, but I had no idea (and would not have guessed) that he had that much juice.

I can’t imagine Forest coming in every day, seeing that giant doll child and not saying “You know, it sounded good in my head, but that shit’s gotta come down.”
