What If: The Watcher Broke His Oath?

Pretty good episode, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a prequel to Dr. Strange 2 now. lol
 
The current American Horror Story season, just finished marvel what-if. Plus, I am watching doom patrol too.
 
Supernatural, Season 2, Episode 11: Playthings

I forgot how this series loves to just have that mid-episode twist. lol Really love these twists as I like the unexpected.
 
like the rest of the world ive been binging squid game and enjoying it. also obsessing over hometown cha cha so much that i want to become a dentist and move to the seaside lol
 
I’m currently watching The A Team, Xena: Warrior Princess and Friends. Taking me a while to finish all three, but I’m enjoying the shows when I watch a few episodes of them.
 
I most recently finished Squid Game. I had no problem with episode 7 or anything regarding the ending, I thought it was great and while I disagree with the choices made at the end, I still think it's a great story. For example, the penultimate episode was super short but it was very effective.

I still have two problems with the story though.

First of all, the police guy actually reached the police station with his phone and there was plenty of time until his body fell into the water and his phone probably broke. I really thought with that and who won (and the plot twist) the series would end with exposing the Squid Game to the public.
You could turn that around and have people not care about it, and maybe even show how many people are willingly applying just to be parts of the games or because they're just as desperate for the money. A second season could then do another round of games with double the players. And the main guy could be part of it too and influence it. Like make a bet and the prize is that this will be the last game. Like we already saw a complete game and how it turned out, so you could go the Hunger Games route and make the second game the viewers (us) see different and destroy it.

My second problem is the time jump. It only exists so that another game could start and we could have the cool end scene. But it's so stupid. The events wouldn't wait a year, why would the bad guy wait a year to check up on his favorite guy, why would the winner let everyone's family suffer for a year, especially if their loved ones are gone for over a year then. Like, they should have just made him send the 10m (I think it translates to like 200k USD, around that?) to everybody. That's a lot of money if you don't have any gambling debt, the woman could have had her store already and the boy would have it in a savings account or something.
But they had to do the time jump to show another round of the game happening ugh. The way they set it up, it just looks like it'll be repeat of season 1 where the winner will have the storyline as the policeman.
 
squid gammeeee
i just finished episode 6 and-
honestly sang woo is the real villain
i get why he would betray him since you know, his life was on the line, i would have most likely done the same if i’m telling the truth, however it still made me so sad to see Ali, one of my favorite characters die :’c and the way he was so sad- not angry, he didn’t yell or anything like others probably would have, he just sat there and cried. and the “player 199, eliminated” just got me yknow- and that on top of the scenes w 067 and 240 (which somehow i was even sadder about considering their horrible pasts and their simple wanting to just go on vacation or meet their own parents- and how they were becoming friends but knew only one would come out alive), i just cried ;-; then again i do get sad easily, but still. wow. anyway, i want to nerd out about the show more so pm me pls

I just finished Squid Game and I agree with a lot of what you said here.

I didn't understand why it took the main character an entire year to start doing some good with the money. I get that it felt dirty and tainted to him because of how he earned it, but leaving it sitting in a bank is pointless. He could have picked up the girl's little brother and given the money to his friend's mom if he didn't want anything to do with it. Or he could have anonymously donated it to some charity. Instead, he gave in to self-pity and did nothing for anybody for an entire year.

Of course, I didn't really like the main character from the beginning anyway. He was definitely the lesser of two evils at the end, but he proved early on that he didn't really care or think about other people with the way he treated his mother. I thought he had grown and changed some during the games, but at the end he still disappointed me.

I still really enjoyed the show despite these complaints, though. They are minor issues.
 
Midnight Mass. Another great series from Mike Flanagan, the creator of The Haunting of Hill House. I have two episodes left and I'm kind of sad that it's ending!

& the latest season of the Great British Baking Show.
 
The Movies that Made Us just released a new series featuring mostly horror movies, so I'm watching that leading up to Halloween.
 
i’m currently watching s4 of on my block on netflix! i’m about halfway done, and am enjoying it so far!
i did not, however, enjoy them killing off oscar. mans was literally about to move to portland with his wife, who’s pregnant with his child, and he’s dead???? i hate this.

and i certainly am not enjoying the fact that abuelita is sick and is going to die at some point this season as well. 😔
 
Halloween is approaching so I've been watching paranormal investigation type of shows like Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted Towns. It's fun debating whether the evidence presented seems possible or if they are over exaggerating. I should stop soon because I think that it's starting to affect my sleep.
 
I'm starting the new season of YOU. It's so funny to see Joe call Love a monster for literally killing the same amount of people, like you're both psychopaths you should support her like she supports you.
 
I'm a few episodes into The Leftovers and I'm really into it so far. My friend and I are also watching season 3 of Succession as the episodes come out.
 
started watching s3 of you on netflix yesterday! i’m only on episode 3, but i’m enjoying it so far. it’s probably gonna take me forever to watch the entire season, though, since i have the attention span of a toddler lol.

LMAO my thoughts exactly! joe’s hypocrisy is insane, man. 😭
 
Currently watching Midnight Mass on Netflix. On episode 6 today.

I don't think I've ever shaken my head/sighed/scolded/yelled/swore at the screen so much before.

Loving it. 👍
 
Chucky (the new Child's Play TV series), love it, perfect to watch in October close to Halloween :)
