totally disagree it was lazy writing...there's a time for cerebral (like Upstream color or something) and a time to entertain. When the (SPOILER ALERT) machine gun happened, I was a bit like...'eh!'..but once you just go with it...I also think it's impossible not to go with the 'crowd pleasing' angle when the tribe of fans is generally pretty discerning or a mainstream TV programme...if it ended too esoteric they would have been slaughtered. I still think on balance they nailed it...even allowing for debate about whether he'd fantasized about it dictates it was a pretty good route. If they had given an indication of a dream sequence, that would possibly be even lazier writing...
- Agree. It's a sign of maturity that he didn't indulge himself, and just played it straight down the middle. And well.mikotondria3
- < yep. Yet he did indulge a bit of Kubrik-esque uncanny fear/serenity to get people talking. I think he nailed the pulp we all love and added a darker side (that opens up dream debates etc.)babaganush
- we all love and added an extra element (that allows debate about dreamlike portons of the scenes)babaganush
- I think we're past spoiler alerts at this point. Anyone who hasn't seen it should not be in this thread.sarahfailin
- I avoided this thread religiously until I was caught up and done. I basically waited until the show was just about over to start watching it.mantrakid
