Same. This show as a whole really deserves a second look that's removed from the second-by-second analysis of it's first airing. That's how I originally engaged with it, which was fun but regrettable, because I feel like I (and many others) probably missed out on something more elemental and didn't really savor it.

Right out of the gate, Lost was like a well-oiled machine when it came to hitting those character beats. It nearly doesn't get enough credit for that; it's absolutely rare for me to give a damn about characters just 2-3 episodes into a series but it may be the thing Lost did best.

Even knowing the payoff to every twist, turn and character arc, viewing Lost's first season now is every bit as bracing and fun as the first time I watched it. It's nearly remarkable that a show that seemed so specific to the time it aired, and so contextualized by the online communities that dissected it still seems…

But I guess 3.5/5 translates to a C- which is lower than i wanna go but 4/5 seems more like a date than a rating. I guess i'll give it a 4.1/5 even though 4 stars plus .1 star seems wrong somehow. I mean, either you're a full star or you aren't right? I always figured it was an all or nothing kind of thing.…

This show really picks up around episode 7. I'm not saying it's completely successful, but there's an admirable amount of pathos, serialized plotting and surprises in the back half of the season.

I truly forgot that Tyrant was even a thing.

It was very palatable actually, as far as popcorn goes.

All joking aside, I genuinely get as much enjoyment out of films like Under the Skin as I do out of Edge of Tomorrow and the like.

Wait up. Are you telling me that "Under the Skin" is not a rollicking intergalactic adventure starring a quirky but lovable alien? That what? It's like some sort of psycho-sexual, surrealistic treatise on the human condition and gender politics or somethin'? Are you havin' fun with me?

Oh damn, those were good too. I knew I was forgetting something.

I ate popcorn while I watched it. Is that not enough?

It's almost shocking how differently Harvey Dent was handled between The Dark Knight and Batman Forever. His transformation and death serve as the dramatic thrust for the latter half of Nolan's series and make for a largely successful tragic story.

All in all, this has been a very solid year for popcorn entertainment. The Lego Movie, Days of Future Past, Under the Skin, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and now this. Keep the good times rollin' Hollywood.

And once again, the show is still very much in the early going. While it's been a bit of a drag watching it at times, I'm holding off judgement until the end of the season. If the show expands it's visual language (as it did in episode 3) and breaks away more from it's main location and characters, then the set-up…

To the question of the lack of representations of non-Caucasians on the show:

You know what? I'm quitting that job at Target. And i'm finally gonna tell my boss Terry what I really think of him! That he's a nice guy ill-suited for such a big picture position. And then I'm gonna walk out of there a free hotel.

Wait, slow down. You're telling me that not only can i clear 63 smackaroons an hour working on my laptop but that I only have to work for a few hours?

You look like a Nathan.

Look Ella, it's really nice that you can sit around your villa in your two piece mangling the English language all day. Really, it's nice. And it's nice that you're trying to reach out to people and connect. Really and truly, I respect the sentiment. But Ella, this ain't the way homegirl. All commenting here will get…

Under the Skin is still giving me vague nightmares about humanoid oil creatures and strangers with indecipherable Scottish accents so I guess it was effective, and thus gets my vote.
