Yes I think you can tell that everyone was really having a blast. Even the one shot guest stars were enjoying themselves immensely. And that in turn made it fun to watch.

I can say freely that I have rewatched multiple times, and now that I have the whole thing I plan on doing a bingewatch to get it all at once. Can't wait. I don't think that anything has beaten this for me for sheer enjoyment in a while.

AAAAH I'm afraid to hope but I do, I do hope.

The way I cackled, you have no idea.

He'd honestly never been on my radar before this, don't know why - but this put him on it for sure. He did so well as all the characters he had to play, truly a delight to watch.

These are my thoughts. I won't lie and say that it's not flawed or that it couldn't have done things better, but I also can't lie and say that I didn't love almost every episode anyway (five was the one I liked least, I think, and that was because of the auction stuff mostly). I'd give it a ten for sheer enjoyment though. I just had a blast.

On the surface, sure, I made the comparison myself. But honestly I don't really think in execution it resembles Hotel del Luna at all.

AAAAH I loved it. Honestly yes the show could have been more tightly written overall but I don't even care, I adore it. I would watch 5000 more episodes of Dome and Khatha being ridiculous at each other and honestly either Nanon or Gun as The One causing chaos and loving life while destruction rains down. And honestly, I would love for Tay to get more to do, he was underutilized here (I did love him living centuries just to snark at Khatha and then die, but the stinger at the end of the show made me badly want him in a real villain role.

I don't want to hope for a sequel and then be disappointed but if it happened I would watch the hell out of it. Even if it chooses to follow museum curator!Tay instead.

And those damn lilies of the valley make yet another appearance. I see you, show.

Let's goooooo

IMO no one here is a literal god, but I think it's clear that Chan, Dome, and The One are not human, either. Alien is just the closest thing to what I really think they are.

The cult is totally trying to resurrect Chan, For them, it has always been about Chan, because of Boon. But that doesn't mean that The One hasn't been pulling strings to orchestrate this for his own ends. Maybe he doesn't want to position himself as their god, but he wants *something*, The destruction of this world, maybe?

The "demon" was just another version of the shadow people that Dome can call up when he's under extreme duress, I thought. I don't think any of the religious stuff is meant to be a strict 1:1, but maybe I'm wrong there. It wouldn't be the first time.

I don't think that The One wants Dome's body - he already said he doesn't like the face much. 😂 Sorry if I was unclear on that. I do think that he wanted exactly what happened, I'm just not sure why. My guess is destruction, though why I'm not sure. Jealousy, if we're going to continue the whole religious motif (as in, he would be Lucifer who was jealous of humans)? Just because it's fun? An attempt to set himself up as supreme ruler of the ashes? Some combo of the three? Hopefully we find out when June finds him.

Or none of it at all, ha.

Personally I dislike the idea of him as a god anyway. I think he was just a man - or alien, I guess - with strange powers who wanted to be able to be entirely himself and whoops, found himself at the head of a cult. But I mean, if we want to get into the weeds of religion, Messiah figures aren't infallible. They do tend to be martyrs, though.

Yes that's what I think! And I think it was all orchestrated by The One, who actually plans to be the one to take over when all is said and done. Or he just wants to bring about Chan's promised end of the world because he's a chaos gremlin and he thinks it would be fun.

I just think that dude is evil. He was in *all black*, man, everyone knows that's code for "the baddie in the script" :D

I didn't get the impression he wanted it much. I thought it was more that he wanted to be able to use his powers and the villagers worshipping him meant that he could and not be judged, which was why he was so keen to keep them onside even at the expense of Khatha's feelings, and why he didn't want to go away with him.

Or maybe he helped because he wanted to, and could, and then Book filled his head with all that "you're too important to be seen with the riffraff" stuff, and he bought into it. But the first feels a little more true.

I think Dome was yoinked from his universe to serve as a replacement body for Chan. Or maybe his species (? I don't know what else to call it haha) has always been able to bop freely between universes - or maybe, ooh, they're supposed to be observers and not interfere - hence why The One knew Khatha even though Khatha had clearly never met him before - only they keep failing at that.

It's so late in the game to be throwing all these ideas at the wall. My money is on The One being a bigger meddler than we have been led to believe thus far, though.

On the bright side at least the comments aren't entirely like that. I'm happy most people seem to be having fun with this show - some of the stuff I've liked I don't even visit the pages for here because it's wall to wall complaining. I don't hate watch so it just doesn't compute for me, lol.

And to be fair some of the criticism is on point - I don't see the need to take swipes at people who do like it for whatever reason, but I'm also not gonna argue that the show couldn't be tighter.

I'm not harping, dude. I just don't see why you're sticking with this when you don't seem to like it much? Or at least look down on those of us who do.

It kind of feels like you want to have your "criticism", but if anyone disagrees with you, they're harping, or attacking, etc. And so far no one here has done that to anyone else. It's actually all extremely polite.

Preview makes it looks like The One will be back next ep, still wearing Nanon. Also I've said before (although maybe not here, lol) that The One totally strikes me as a dude who would like to set himself up as a god.

If Dome is the real Jesus figure then he's definitely biting it next ep. But I think that was supposed to be Chan, with Khatha as an inadvertent Judas. Only unlike Jesus, Chan doesn't seem to be in a forgiving sort of mood...

I mean I love trash, some of my favorite shows are trashy, but yeah I don't think I'll ever trust anyone who holds themselves up as the arbiter of good storytelling. Some types of stories work better for some people than others.

This is a little messy, but in a way I kind of like *shrug* It's not for everyone, but honestly I've never seen the point in sticking around for things I don't like, or just *having* to tell everyone how much their taste sucks. That's not me. If I didn't like the show I just...would not be here. There are so many other things to watch out there.

Hm. I kind of hated Alice in Borderland. Bored me so badly I turned it off. Sweet Home was okay, Squid Game was better - easily my favorite of the ones you mentioned. I also quite liked All of Us Are Dead and The Glory, but I imagine you'd take issue with the romance, yes? I find that a lot of the Netflix Kdramas feel like they go off the rails at some point, though*.

*Cleary this is an opinion, not objective fact. Also Netflix is where I get them, not necessarily where everyone does. :D

I know I usually tend to avoid MDL because a lot of people here are never happy with anything, seems like...I liked this page because for once people seemed to be having fun .

Why was this episode so fun? Am I just weird?

(maybe, but if so I don't care it was almost entirely a blast)
