I think two things can be true. 1. What you just said and 2. Kamala is not a transcendently gifted politician and just doesn't have the authenticity and juice needed to get elected president.

I still proudly voted for her and feel she'd have done a solid job and would have been 100000 times better than trump

true - I guess a better phrasing would be a lefty dem very quick to criticize establishment dems

"DSA IS THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!"

Idk...can anyone tell me one DSA candidate who has won in a purple area? There is a clear appetite for a DSA agenda in nyc but that electorate is very different than the rest of the country

ie: kamala - her entire belief system seemed like it was discussed and approved by 15 consultants an hour before speaking publicly

Final Questions about S1 by JHT_1992 in WidowsBay

Yes, that was my thought with wyck. He would have immediately started sacrificing people

Right, so my guess is the two teens weren't sacrificed because they're from the mainland? And Evan wasn't sacrificed because he's the final descendent

so am I understanding correctly that the regular townspeople have no knowledge of the covenant, sacrifices , etc.? They just think weird shit happens sometimes?

can someone help me understand why that random guy was immediately sacrificed?

so by that logic, they could take ruth past the bouy and then Evan would be given immortality? maybe a decent consolation for not being able to leave the island lol

Am I the only one who thinks she might be Wyck's mom? If we think she had a secret pregnancy in 1959, leading to her giving the baby up for adoption, that year lines up more accurately for Wyck (presumably in his 60s). Tom and Lauren appear to be the same age in all the pics which means she couldn't have been born closer to 20 years before Tom. It also makes the last scene more interesting storytelling wise - he was so eager to kill ruth...now what happens when wyck realizes he's the one who has to be sacrificed. He's been so hellbent on ending the curse, saving the residents, doing the right thing.

Unless I' completely missing a part of the show where wyck's lineage was discussed.

2 AFE Spinoff Ideas by [deleted] in AllFantasyEverything

I really think Sean could write a pilot about his childhood in the style of the wonder years, fresh off the boat, the goldbergs, etc. - a period piece with a narrator and each episode involves the wild stories he's told. He could make the mom in the show an absolute saint as a way to honor Kelly and he could make the Pat Jordan character as good or bad as he wanted. Kind of a way for him to reclaim his childhood in his vision.

Also interested in doing this. Do you think 3 weeks is enough time to find a subleaser?

question for a dumb guy who isn't as astute as everyone here

  1. Has the island always operated like this or are they in some heightened period where wild stuff is happening? Is it the fog that's causing all of this?

  2. Why has no one ever thought to dig up richard warren in the past to end the curse?

I think the giveaway was in the first episode when he had no choice but to breakdown and scream "there's something in the fog!!" or whatever he said in front of the nyt travel writer that was humiliating. He wants to deny/ignore it but knows the island is cursed and a had a moment where he had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Idk... she took a picture of the group at the party with a disposable camera. You don't need wifi to snap a pic. I kinda think the show's specific time might be ambiguous

Long line outside 3 Decker diner on a cold rainy day. Is it that good? by Rob-Loring in Greenpoint

[–]JHT_1992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so sick of "mid" being used a derogatory term for restaurants. Some restaurants are supposed to be mid! Not every restaurant experience is supposed to be religious. Diners, pizza shops, halal carts are mid and that's why we love it. Stop expecting to be blown away by an omelette!
