I wasn’t convinced after episode one, but it’s gets significantly better the further you go in. Really enjoyable show.
Me neither! Must have missed that and lucky my gf did too.
I might be wrong but Ghouls heal quickly. Whatever Dom Pedro is cutting off the ghoul grows back. The whole zero nose thing applies to all ghouls, which makes it confusing.
Nope. I don't remember that at all. But I'm not sure I'd find it all that shocking in the context.
That is generally how episodic TV shows work all right.
First, you should probably spoiler that
So you’re saying the next episode or two will explain why yer man is buried in the ground, yet still alive, with IV fluids pumped into his grave, occasionally dug up by a randomer to have bits cut off him and chickens are somehow relevant to his plight? And isn’t he the cowboy act in the first scene? So he’s 200 and something years old?
I did it out of courtesy. However, if someone enters this thread a month after the show is released and 330 posts later, they shouldn't be mad at getting spoiler-ed.
There are eight episodes.
Well it does a terrible job in episode one. And they can get fecked if they expect viewers to play video games to understand shit they can’t be bothered explaining in their tv show. Last of Us was a great example of a video game spin off that was well written enough to exist as a standalone creation. So far, this comes out very poorly in comparison. I never felt as remotely confused/annoyed about stuff that was never explained during Last of Us (also didn’t play the game)
Thought it would be something he'd enjoy tbh........ but he seems to have stumbled into it expecting a different type of show.
It's weird how for almost a decade I was completely oblivious to it, but in the last twelve months I've come to realise that I disagree with the majority of Pogue's opinions and think he is literally the worst person in the history of the universe.
Why don't they show how the bombs were built? And what's the music about? It's meant to be the future but they're listening to old music? Nobody listens to old music unless they're old. And why is the power supply for the suits important? It's the future, isn't it? And there's a dog? Why are there dogs? Gary?
Added some replies in the spoiler.
Same! I even coughed up for a Prime subscription to watch the fecking thing. I don’t hate it at all. Just a bit meh about it. And annoyed it’s all so muddled and all over the place. There is stuff I like about it too tbf. So I’ll definitely stick with it. I mean, I gave that Zak Snyder abomination over two hours of my life, so the least I can do is give this the same.
Watching Memento might give him an aneurysm.
Yeah just watch it and don't be too worried about not knowing why certain things are the way they are. Things should slowly come together.
One of my all time favourite films. Definitely my favourite Christopher Nolan film.
The fluid gets explained. The chicken was explained in the scene, they said if he's feral, which means his mind is gone and he'll attack without reason, the chicken would set him off. Yes, ghouls live long lives, be they feral or not.
Ok, that’s the chicken explained. Do we ever find out what turns people into immortal, chicken eating zombies?
I believe it explains it yeah.
Heh. Yeah. So I can blame another great tv series for slightly spoiling this one: Chernobyl.
Fallout isn't really supposed to be realistic, so it shouldn't matter too much. It's more based on the fantastical view of atomic power and radiation that might have existed in the 1950s, extrapolated into the future.
Yeah it's a retro-futuristic setting where microprocessors were never invented due to more focus on nuclear and things like that. It's why they have some futuristic stuff but it has that older, bulkier look it it all. And stuff like mobile phones, internet (in most forms) was never invented.
Honestly, not sure if it's explained in the show but it's radiation, it caused a lot of mutations in flora, fauna, and people.
So it has nothing to do with KFC then?
It's actually a great scene when they explain it, last or second to last episode.
