Yeah I felt like half the little plotlines in this episode were just casually thrown in there without much of a care, felt a bit convoluted. 

The issue I have with that entire scene is everything went by so quick, in flashes, it was really tough to make out what it was we were seeing. As you try to process one thing, you’re missing 3 other things happening. Or atleast that’s how it was for me. I can appreciate good blink and you miss it moments, but that…

WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS LEAVING DIANA ALONE!

Well, I can’t say I’m particularly excited for a season 2 but if they do have a season 2 I really hope they get someone in the writing to room to navigate the storytelling with a little more of a deft hand. The show has so much going for it but holy crap was the plotting an absolute muddled mess from episode 2 on.

“Montrose still killed Yahima, but we’ll ignore that.”

Well that was messy. At several points I kept thinking, where are we, why are we doing this and why are we going there? What was the deal with the baptism? Spiritual faith is pretty much sidelined in Lovecraft Country. Oh look Ji-Ah. Stick around gal, we may need to use your snake eyes to jumper cable the counter…

Agree with all of this. I was never a fan of Fallon at all, because of his endless breaking up, and I can’t watch a second of the Tonight Show because he has such a “mischievous schoolboy” vibe which gets on my nerves. But I can’t deny he has talents, and he’s miles ahead of Jones, who couldn’t get through a sketch…

Fighting for screen time? She literally wtote / writes nothing original. On SNL she was handed camera time by writers and other cast and then consistently flubbed those lines. Surely you don’t honestly think she left SNL on her own accord.

He seems to have the Trump chin though.

he looks like Matt Gaetz idiot son

I don’t think it should be a screen writer’s main objective to calculate how long it would take to drive from two states in the 50's when there is so much more important stuff to focus on. Otherwise I am actually in complete agreement with you. It does take you out of the moment to have the hero swoop in at just the…

I thoroughly enjoyed that cackling assholes face being broke by Tic’s bat.

When the kids were playing with the Ouija board, he asked it, “Am I going to have a good time on my trip?” and the pointer thing immediately moved to “No.” But I had no idea that Emmett Till’s nickname was Bobo, so I (and I’m sure lots of other people) didn’t make the connection at the time that this kid was him. It…

Saw that one. I’m hoping the offkey rasp he performed with was a result of disease or what have you, it’s the major thing that stuck in memory from the show.

He was in other episodes. He was in the scene where they played with the Ouija. They kept calling him by his nickname, BoBo. I think counting on people to pick up the fact that he was Emmett Till without explicitly saying it now, however, probably wasn’t a good idea. 

Fixed that for ya.

My only criticism is that they spent too much time with the Diana/demons chase. Much of the hide & seeking could have been cut in order to give the other storylines time. Or, if this was meant to be Dee’s episode, they could have made more of the chase.

I honestly thought with the timeline and the national significance of the horrible murder by Emmett Till would be incorporated more than just a glancing set piece. If “Bobo” (Till) was one of Dee’s best childhood friends, I think that our characters would have at least known Mamie his mother and realized what she did.…

I think there’s an article limit if you don’t? I went ahead and signed up for it, because it’s $2 a month and includes access to New York Magazine and all the associated publications. I have to admit the commenting community is not always as robust as I wish it were.

This is one of the weirdest damned shows I can remember. What’s real? What’s imagined? What’s drug-fueled? WTF is happening?!
