I agree about the ending. Wasn't expecting that kind of ending at all. The show was a comedy, not a drama. I'm sure that ending caught a lot of people off guard, as I know it did me. I would have liked your ending much better. It's sad that most of the characters are understandably miserable during most of the final time we have with them.
Hundreds of meth cooks in a small town? Everyone must have been so poor that if they wanted meth they had to cook it themselves. Your town is probably the reason that cough, cold, and flu medication has to be approved by a clerk at the checkout counter before you can buy it.
Jesse didn't assume anything. Walt manipulated him into believing it was the ricin. I recommend you do a re-watch and maybe it will be clearer to you. There seem to be major plot-points that you either missed or are forgetting.
Yeah, I can't disagree with that.
It's not a plot hole. Walt manipulated Jesse into helping him kill Gus. Yes, the doctors told Jesse it was not ricin, but Gus was dead at that point, so Walt got what he wanted. Walt knew at some point that it would be determined by the doctors that Brock was not poisoned by ricin. Walt also knew that by the time that they figured that out, Gus would hopefully be dead. Walt didn't need Jesse to believe forever that ricin was the poison used on Brock, he only needed Jesse to believe it until Gus was killed. Once Gus was killed, Walt didn't care about the truth being revealed.
It does make sense. Walt didn't use the actual ricin on Brock because that would have killed Brock. Walt didn't want to actually kill Brock. Been a couple years since I saw the show, but Walt had the ricin lifted from Jesse because he wanted to manipulate Jesse into believing that Gus somehow found out about the plot to kill him, and that Gus somehow stole the poisoned cigarette. Walt wanted Jesse to think that Gus then used the poison on Brock as retaliation and punishment.
Yeah, there is no way Bosch would realistically give an inmate his phone number. Even if he did, it would have been a burner phone. I do think though that we will find out that the call is about something else, and not the murder of Dockweiler. I could see Bosch having the guy beat up repeatedly while in prison, but I don't think he would have him specifically killed. I guess we'll find out for sure in season 3.
I thought the exact same thing. As soon as Bosch was just strolling along onto the boat, and headed into the lower cabin, I knew the guy would be up top watching him. Bosch didn't even make an effort to try to sneak and remain unseen. Like you though, I really enjoy this show and the characters.
What I don't get is the lack of wildlife. There should be no reason for cannibalism. Deer, rabbits, etc. would be thriving in that environment.
Well it was a 4 mile round trip for the guy to get the medicine and come back, so really just 2 miles. Still though, may as well have been 4 miles considering the shape he was in.
I'm guessing the writers probably had to have thought of that, but were still willing to throw logic out the window so that they could have their touchy-feely "baby-girl" hug right after she leaves the burning building.
Well yeah, Ellie was probably foolish, but she was even far more desperate. She was hunting out of desperation for food, and she let that guy go out of desperation to get medicine for Joel. In reality, she didn't want to hunt or let that guy go, but she was desperate, so those decisions were not really based on rationality.
Well after all these episodes, I would have to agree with you. When it comes to showing the existing threat from the infected, this show really dropped the ball. It seems to me that most of the problem is that there is too much crammed into the season. The show needed at least a few more episodes if they were planning on cramming the whole first game into a single season. Episode 3 didn't bother me at all at the time, but now as we near the end of the season, that episode seems like it wasted show time that could have been better utilized for more essential aspects of the overall story.
It is hard to say what the explanation is for lack of zombies so far in the show. In the video game, not only did you have to worry about zombies, but also the spores from the fungus itself that was growing in many of the previously populated areas.
People can't leave the quarantine zones. You must have missed the part about the militarized totalitarian government.
Yeah, it has been awhile since I played the game, but I remember not realizing Bill was gay until Ellie found his gay porno mags.
There actually was supposed to be sequel. It was finally green-lit around 2013 I think, and then shortly after news of that was released, "Krampus" was also green-lit. From what I recall, after they got the ok to make Krampus, they were more excited to make that rather than the sequel for Trick r Treat, so it got put on the back burner and they made Krampus instead. Unfortunately I don't know if we will ever see a sequel at this point.
I actually thought the same thing when I saw the new Ariel for the first time. She definitely has an alien look to her face.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the only city. When Hale talked about shutting things down she used the plural word "cities". Also, there were still lots of people still alive. When the two hosts (man & woman) are trying to navigate and survive at the beginning of the season finale, he is hunting them and she says something to the effect that hunting all the humans would be impossible because there are millions.
I like how everyone assumes it was the scene when Eddie died, but the scene referenced is what I believe occurred shortly after they finished building their weapons. They sort of danced/wrestled and then stared into each others eyes for a length of time that was cringey and way too long. Definitely looked like they might kiss.
