That sex scene with Montrose was insulting. I can always tell when a gay sex scene is written by a bunch of straight people. An ounce of spit for lube? Check. Fully clothed? Check. Absolutely zero passion and overly aggressive? Cheeeeck. It's like a horror version of how gay men have sex. This tired cliché should've ended at Brokeback Mountain.
Other than that I thought it was a great episode. Although I must be immune to body horror stuff... I barely bat an eye during the transformation scenes. But let there be a close-up shot of someone getting poked by a needle. 🤢

That scene confused me. I already don't like sex all that much, and watching that sex scene had me horrified.
The fact that there ALWAYS has to be a DL man in any sort of black entertainment
The whole sequence was weird and felt undeserved. Montrose had just
murdered someone
This (correct) reaction from your user name and FrankO is sending me haha. I give the Montrose club scene a pass because I love that Moses Sumney song they used, great choice
Same here. The only cue was the bar owner getting a blowjob in the alley way in episode 1, other than that, it felt like it came out of nowhere.
The museum episode had Tic's friend Tree insinuate Montrose was gay/hanging out with Sammy
Also, in the first episode when the uncle talks about Montrose...
'Your pops, he was...'
'What? He was what?'
'He was... younger. And smaller. He took the brunt of it.' (Talking about the abuse from their father)
The expression on the uncles face makes it seem as if there is something else going on.
i'm not out, but i would be super disappointed that they erased her story. it's one of the most out there stories for sure, but I loved her wonderment at it all.
Just saw the advance screening of Sunday's episode. No spoilers, but that was a heck of an episode and I can't wait to discuss it.
And they gave us themed swag.
And they gave us themed swag.
Themed items
Lunchbox, bottle opener, car air freshener ("The Scent of Sundown"), cookie, hand sanitizer, pop corn, and a pair bandanas with a tentacle pattern and little Woodies along the border.
Plus some soda and red bull (not themed).
I almost bailed after Episode 2 because I didn't like it nearly as much as the first episode, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I liked episodes 1,3, and 5 so I'm curious if this pattern will hold.
I haven't read the book... but I'm pretty sure they are doing a Hippolyta episode. You can see it in the "weeks ahead" trailer. She's got some kind of battle armor on (or it looks that way going by her head) and there's scenes of two ancient armies clashing in a desert looking area. I'm assuming this is all related to her name of course.
Okay so I just finished episode 5 and caught up with the show. I've been enjoying everything so far. Leti is my favorite so far and also realized that I really haven't sat down and actually watched any Jurnee Smollett work since......Full House lol with the exception of Birds of Prey(I'm sure I've missed some great work from her). But yeah episode 5 twist of Christina and William being the same person was definitely something. I'm definitely in on this series going forward.
Yup, I've run a few CoC and ToC games and they are very similar to how this plays out. However I avoid highlighting most of the overt racist stuff mainly because I don't feel I could do it justice.
There are two ways to play Call of Cthulhu or Trail of Cthulhu, purist or pulp. As you can imagine pulp is more action and closer to Indiana Jones in genre, the insanity is temporary and only slows down the Investigators. Purist games tend to wear the Investigators down and it is only a matter of time before the insanity or something else gets them.
This show is closer to pulp, which is fine, a purist show would have probably driven them all mad by now.
Uncle George was my favorite character and I feel the series would have better if it was about him having lovecraftian encounters.
lol we said the same thing when watching. That shit looked painful and made me wince.
This marks the second time in three days I've scene a WTF sex scene. Also Atticus did some dirty shit I see.
Hey it floats some peoples boats.
Oh snaps she saw his future and that's why she told him not got home.

I feel like this is the most that Jaime Chung has ever really been featured in anything and she's been great this episode
Thai is the one I saw at the drive in, and it was fantastic. But also so different from the rest of the series, almost like a mini movie.
Episode 6 was pretty good.
Last week it was hard for me to enjoy Montrose's journey because we just saw him kill that "two-spirit" character in cold blood.
But this week they deftly handled two main characters doing monstrous things while still making me want them to find happiness.

For a TV show, the body metamorphosis in episode 5 looked pretty good.

Haha, I was about to say "The Terror, Season 2 redeemed".
Between this and last episode and we are on a roll, looks like when the show isn't solely focused on Tic's 'destiny' it opens up. This might be their Emmy submission episode
While some episodes were absolutely shaky, you would be hardpressed to find better horror effects in recent memory, movies included, then the metamorphoses scenes in episode 5.
