Ah, so the torture won't end?

Ah, so the torture won't end?

If you mean torture as in the show not getting better than no...it wont end!

 

[batfan08]

I meant the torture would reside in my loving the show so much that I would want the figures and said figures would no longer be available, thus, dooming me to an eternal state of limbo wherein I can look, but never touch.

Time is a flat circle man...im sure you can track one down eventually. But keep us updated on your thoughts as the season progresses

 

[batfan08]

I most definitely will, which means I'll probably keep you updated over the next three days.

Exactly..its definitely a quick watch.

About twenty minutes into episode 2, and I think I may have just watched my favorite scene of the entire series.

 

[batfan08]

Just finished "Seeing Things," and I think this show is a little too smart for the general public. McConaughey's monologues seemed to get made fun of a bit (I remember seeing a parody from "The Soup" with Joel Mchale incoherently rambling), but I think the writing's absolutely brilliant in those moments, and it really makes Rust unlike anyone else I've ever seen on TV. "The hubris it must take to yank a soul out of non-existence and into this...meat." That kind of philosophical insight; maybe it's just because I've had those kinds of thoughts, myself, concerning the world, but he's such a fascinating character. I'll be honest, McConaughey's Rom-Coms are even something of a guilty pleasure for me, so, to think I'd need another reason to love the guy, as an actor; well, if I did, this one would certainly do it.

Harrelson's brilliant, as well. That locker room scene, and the tension present in it...Chooo; it was like the clash of the titans was about to go down.

Yeah, I never got what that Soup parody was poking fun at exactly. Mcconaughey is brilliant as Rust and you're absolutely right. I've never seen a character like his on TV before. The writing blows away almost every other show ive ever seen. Rust's monologues really do resonate with a lot of the feelings I've had about life, love, death but could never hope to express so eloquently,

But, seriously, Alexandra Daddario:

I couldn't agree more. He may be well on his way to becoming one of my favorite characters I've ever seen on television, and I'm only two episodes in.

Mine too man! Now hurry up and watch episode 3

 

[batfan08]

That's absolutely insane. I actually tried to this morning, but, since I use my iPhone as my general "Internet connectivity hub," I was getting frustrated by the fact that my ****** service kept switching me to "audio only." That being said, I think that kind of serves as a testament to just how much I loved this show, when I probably exited and restarted the first episode 10 times on a 4" screen, just to get my fix.

Man, you're really making me want to start my third rewatch of the entire season

 

[batfan08]

Two episodes down, and I'm pretty much fully committed to buying the Blu-Ray.

Yes! Im trying to wait till it comes out to rewatch again, but your enthusiasm is making it hard to resist firing up episode 1 again lol

 

[batfan08]

Well, let's give this another shot. Episode 3, here we go. To quote the great McConaughey before he started dropping existential bombs and gracing us with his cache of philosophical wisdom: "Alright, alright, alright."

"If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of a divine reward, then, brother, that person is a piece of ****." God, I'm loving this show. I consider myself relatively spiritual, but, mmmmmm, if that writing isn't a spot on critique of organized religion, I don't know what is.

Rust being an atheist, id say its spot on for all religion, organized or otherwise.
