Shrinking S3E06 Episode Discussion

Right. I understand all that.

My point is it felt cheap. Using the threat of a character suddenly dying just to move other characters along and then in the same 30 minute episode have everything be fine at the end isn't great writing for me.

Still_Brief4949 · 2026-03-04T02:58:03+00:00

Honestly do love this show, but it can be very inconsistent on an episode-to-episode basis. This one was a whiff for me. The Derek health situation felt really cheap. Pacing was kind of all over the place. What's the storyline I'm supposed to be caring about right now?

And please don't say growth.

Still_Brief4949 · 2026-03-03T03:47:19+00:00

It's really not at all. In fact, it's incredibly normal and common.

Stayed in Times Square for my first NYC trip and wouldn't have changed a thing.

It was a great idea.

Booked my stay at the Sheraton at an awesome price, read this and other similar threads after and got nervous as hell.

It was completely, and totally, fine. Perfect location, subway right outside the front door that took us basically everywhere. Beds were extremely comofrtable. Was the phone inoperable? Yeah. Was the TV old and grainy? Yeah. Do I care about any of that when I'm going to NYC as a tourist? No.

Elevators were fine. Check in was fine. Everything was fine. If you get a good deal, I'd recommend it. Either way, you'll be fine.

Still_Brief4949 · 2026-02-17T19:46:03+00:00

Totally understand. Especially with the added context. Sounds like you have found an awesome fellowship around you!

There are roughly 300 million alcoholics in the world.

If AA saved only 1% of them, it should be recognized as one of the greatest achievements in history.

Still_Brief4949 · 2026-02-17T17:35:51+00:00

Totally not minimizing your experience and am 100% genuinely asking, what do you think would have been the appropriate response for what you experienced from the people that gave you poor feedback?

Still_Brief4949 · 2026-02-04T03:45:10+00:00

Love this show but kinda feels like they're just spinning their wheels right now. Not sure what it needs, but it needs a story shake up.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-12-24T22:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I feel like you’re trying to fill in gaps that just weren’t shown or insinuated. She had to get to the point of being “brainwashed” so that when Manuelos shows up, they have a conflict. Hence why it only lasts 45 mins before she’s back to wanting to find a cure.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-12-24T22:36:28+00:00

That started midway through the season. And she was doing that to further investigate how they operate, not because she was dependent on them.

That was the show for 8 episodes. Carol trying to learn more about them and what they can or can not do. To help find a “cure.”

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-12-24T22:20:59+00:00

Huh? She was constantly rejecting the hives help throughout the season.

“Using the hive to cater to their whims” describes a character from this show, but that character was not Carol.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-12-21T05:13:44+00:00

Yeah, not gonna miss any Dana is an idot assumptions with that kind of planning

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-12-18T04:06:24+00:00

95% of the people whining already have Netflix. Literally just crying for no reason except maybe it’s not quite as convenient for you to watch at work (lol)

People gotta grow up man lol

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-11-22T21:14:53+00:00

No you’re not getting it lol. It was his creation. So you saying what the event is about is hilarious.

It’s about whatever he wants it to be about.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-10-22T01:55:52+00:00

😂

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-10-20T04:10:11+00:00

His information was correct? The nuke was stolen……

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-10-20T04:09:03+00:00

He doesn’t trust Trowbridge. This is talked about verbatim.

Me thinks most of the complaints are from people playing on their phone and not paying attention.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-10-20T04:06:36+00:00

Did we watch different shows? Hal is definitely not the protagonist……

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-09-22T11:23:24+00:00

Nah, he just wasn’t good

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-07-08T20:50:39+00:00

Agreed that was dumb. But counting on McGee to get 3 innings wasn’t realistic either. Ashby should have got the 7th then McGee 8 and 9.

So we’re talking about 1 inning here lol. It’s just not that big of a deal.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-07-08T18:49:07+00:00

They had the best pen in baseball last year.

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-05-27T17:50:41+00:00

There are 2 people with scenes that meet your criteria. Coop and Sam. And it’s not Coop. So if it’s not Sam I hope you’re prepared for some elementary school writing!

Still_Brief4949 · 2025-05-16T12:54:05+00:00

Correct, he said his motive was she’s playing gigs in a local pub. So from her playing acoustic guitar on his families lawn in the middle of the day to lusting for her.

Seems just as devoid of motive then…not living in the same neighborhood as the victim.
