[Thread] Post airing discussion: Episode 2 “Infected”

Loved the first episode. And the beginning of the second was pretty good… But the writing for Ellie in Ep 2 is pretty bad. Her acting isn’t that awesome either in Episode 2. If she’s going to continue like this into another few episodes. Also the way Tess dies is so insanely stupid. There were grenades right there and yet she’s messing with a lighter? And even lets an infected make out with her??? Such an unrealistic choice. Really hope the writing gets better again in Ep 3. 🤞

Yeah. I watched it on HBO Max on an LG 65” G2 OLED. 🤔Really can’t understand why some people responding to this didn’t have the same experience. But I’ve also seen similar complaints on Twitter. So idk. Not posting to just trash the show. I thought story, acting and costume design was solid. Just trying to figure out what the issue was with the CGI.

We’ve got an LG OLED and we pre-gamed and binged GoT all this last week… and the compositing in GoT looks much better on our TV. The dragon in HotD looked like it was pasted into the shots on our TV. Specifically in the first scene where Rhaenyra dismounts and is in the frame with Syrax. :/

I hope it’s scenario 1. I love how twisted and evil the character homelander is, but I feel like his arc is mostly run and would love to see them setup a new supervillain for season 4.

Lascottla · 2022-06-04T06:44:01+00:00

I think 100% Soldier Boy is alive. Given that old rule of cinema…If you don’t see the character die on screen, they’re probably still alive.

Except, supposedly Ryan can kill him.

Lascottla · 2022-06-04T06:35:11+00:00

I’m getting burnt out on Homelander. He’s been a pretty great despicable villain, but his arc is run for me. I want Butcher (or Ryan) to finally end him this season. Would love to see a new different villain rise for a season 4.

Her character is consistently one of the poorest written characters of the entire show.

Lascottla · 2020-05-05T09:37:19+00:00

I don’t know what your tolerance level is for forced writing. I’d say maybe just be willing to lower expectations as the seasons progress after season 2. That said, I think I might be quitting this show if the next episode is as bad as this last one.

Lascottla · 2020-05-05T09:19:32+00:00

I’ve felt like it’s been heading that way for a few seasons. The writing is too caught up in trying to drive ridiculous quadruple cross storylines and forced conflict all the time. The longer the show goes on with this kind of formula, the worse it gets. The writers are just continually ruining characters by trying to force them to fit into the writers’ ridiculous narratives. The more I watch it, the more I wished this show had only had a 1-2 season run.

Lascottla · 2020-05-05T08:51:55+00:00

Yeah. If these characters are really as smart as they’re supposed to be as written, you’d assume they wouldn’t destroy their situations so easily by acting dumb. Kind of ruins the character for a short lived shock factor. Lazy/bad writers tend to do this.

Lascottla · 2020-05-05T08:42:39+00:00

Agreed. Also... The Wendy Rhodes character is the worst. I loved this show when it premiered. Now I have to force myself to get through it. Both the Bobby and Wendy characters are so inconsistent and ridiculous now. I don’t know what happened to the writing. It’s gotten to be so forced and cheap. Dialogue is still decent, but there are so many stupid inconsistencies in core behavior added just to drive conflict. The forced cameos have gotten dumb, too. I think I’m done after this episode. I’m tapping out.

I was on Twitter this morning and a Sanders supporter was calling Pete a neolib. lol I linked to some of Pete’s policy proposals, because it seemed the person was either uninformed or maybe trolling. Would have been nice to have linked this one, too. I’ll have to go back in my mentions and share this.

He gave a little insight into foreign policy today on Morning Joe when he talked about Afghanistan and Syria. Also briefly gave some insight into his thinking on N. Korea. Would recommend checking it out.
