i actually enjoyed this episode though

if this show had given me more reason to trust it i'd argue that Rosita is acting weird because she's grieving the brutally graphic loss of two people close to her. but it's probably just crap writing

The dead spirit of Spencer seems to have inhabited Rosita and turned her into the obnoxious asshole of the group. i don't think the actress is good enough to sell the increased screentime.
Rick should have been bitten multiple times there but whatever, couldn't they have made him take the hatchet out and make it a bit…

IIRC the (made explicit) message at the end of that episode was 'hybrid cars are good, you just don't need to be a smug asshole about having one'.

yeah that fucked me up.

don't worry about it, the guy is talking nonsense. it's very graphic.

are you sure you didn't see some censored version of the film? the first dog attack is shown in graphic detail, they even linger on the poor guy trying to breathe out of his mangled throat.
i'm not sure what you're talking about here, the only death in the film that they cut away from is ***, and by then people have…

ohhhh…..k

they were probably hungry as well

i think the fact there was no music during that scene was somewhat unintended, it had something to do with Horner being asked to work to an impossible deadline or something like that.

like she's got 15 minutes to save Newt from being face-impregnated and she stops for a bit of a romantic moment? nah.

it's in the director's cut, and it's awkward as hell. just does not work. one of the main reasons i prefer the theatrical cut.

more people died too. also the viewer might question whether nuking a species into extinction is ethical. just seems like the laziest knee-jerk criticism of Aliens tbh, with a side-helping of snobbery. there's survivors in every film in the series.

don't see how the ending of Alien is any bleaker than ALiens tbh. an entire platoon and colony 9women and kids) brutally wiped out, survivors: scarred-for-life marine, android who'll never be top of the line again, child who's probably got years of PTSD to look forward to. hardly a Disney film

Interesting bit of this episode: the two cops sent to find his girlfriend completely miss her when she runs right past them at one point, because they aren't paying attention. it's easy to miss but it's unmistakably her. adds another layer of tragedy/farce/sadness

yeah, though tbh the idea that the driver would sit there while she took 5 seconds to smash the window instead of, you know, getting out and running away from impending slaughter was more offensive than the twist

lol

the anger should be embraced, imo. who knows, maybe the writers/producers will take note of it and stop being so astoundingly cynical; choose to do innovative, compelling, thought-provoking things with the show, instead of looking to marketing and calculated cliffhangers as the bottom line? in that situation everyone…

yeah i know the purpose but the execution of it relies on a level of accuracy that we've been shown, time and time again, their enemies don't possess. how can Alicia Witt miss Carol and Maggie from 6 feet away but these guys can hit the ground right beside Rick's feet from a considerable distance, etc etc, don't answer

your thinly-veiled 'i like the show' defensiveness is pretty hilarious too
