As I keep saying there are 3 types of time travel. One that fiction loves the most where you go to the past and change your present - the BttF type that is full of paradoxes and inconsistencies but is cool for fiction. One that takes you to alternate universe that changes with you actions while your present stays…

Yeah, Ji-Ah needed more of a presence in this first season. Even if she gets a substantial portion of screen time in the finale, her story seems like a great idea that was never fleshed out to scale with the rest of the story. It would have been a great anthology entry. I guess I feel like her story is her story, that…

This episode delivered what was teased in the pilot of Watchmen show from last year and it was amazing (and heart-breaking) thing to see. The time travel aspect has a nice brilliant twist with time-loop, showing what has happened will always happens. Time is a flat circle, indeed.

I have a lot of thoughts about the idea of an invulnerable Leti and Malcolm X’s quote about black women, like we need sci-fi/horror to even imagine it being real. That is so freaking horrifying.

This was a somber and incredible episode. Being a queer black man on the other end of a father’s intent to protect his son from being gay...seeing that on the screen brought back so many memories....so much trauma. I’ve never felt so seen, so hurt, so moved. I cannot forgive anything that Montrose has done - but I…

About Ji-Ah, you and me both.

First, thanks for posting the poem by Sonia Sanchez. But the near operatic version of it over the visually terrifying attack on the entire Greenwood District was absolutely stunning and moving, a gorgeous directorial flourish. The scene with Montrose watching unfold at the park fountain again what has haunted him a…

Hannah deciding to meet her fate to die in the fire for the sake of future generations was possibly the most gut-wrenching scenes I’ve seen on TV.

I guess I could be wrong, but a plague doctor is a pretty distinct silhouette. One of the times I thought I saw it, it WAS silhouette. (First episode, when Dani runs outside at night and surveys the grounds all covered in mist. It looks like the figure is standing next to a tree. I saw the shape of the mask.)

I thought it was the ghost of Kevin from Sin City.

Hey, we had to sit through 9 seasons of Andrew Lincoln say “Korl” on Walking Dead. You can deal with a few episodes of Bly House.

The cast is uniformly fantastic, IMO.

The 80s fashion game in this is on point. Too often, shit set in the 80s goes for some extreme version of fashion and appearance. Dani’s outfit in this episode is really a perfect encapsulation of casual 80s women’s fashion. (It also is a perfect example of why I’m always deeply opposed to resurrecting 80s fashions.)

I think recapper misses the most important thing of the episode, the appearance of the one and only Greg “Oh hai Mark” Sestero as the husband of the newly married couple. 

-That is one very 80s pair of pants Dani wears.

that is actually Oliver Jackson-Cohen, the actor who played Luke on Hill House! it really is a testament to his range that he seems to have gone from lovable damaged child to incredibly creepy window ghost between seasons

I have to admit precocious Flora saying “perfectly splendid” often got on my nerves. But it did make me suspicious of something supernatural happening to her.

I don’t know how you could possibly think that this episode was suggesting “both sides are bad” or any sort of equivalency between Nazis and progressives. That’s just ridiculous. Some people fake/use progressivism in order to gain power and wealth; Neuman is one of those people.

That Plague Doctor seemed to be everywhere in the background.

There are actually more than the first season it seems. You almost need to watch it twice to find them as their hidden pretty well.
