No spoilers in this post:

I’ve binged to Ep6 so far. Acting is great, directing is top notch, camera work is amazing.  I was afraid the horror thing was going to get played out, but so far it hasn’t.

Each episode basically develops each family member, which is great for getting us invested in the story. Ep1 was probably the scariest, but the each episode is creepy. 

This show is essentially what I hope American Hotror story was supposed to be. I had no idea there was a book.

Just watched it over the weekend. As far as scary shows go, it was good. Some great editing and jump scares that didn't feel cheap. They deviated wildly from the original book, but I liked what they did. It felt a lot like a mixture of the Shining, IT, and AHS season one, which were all inspired by the original in some way. 

Young Hugh has to be the worst spouse in the world. Totally in denial and falling down on the job of being a dad. Also, who in the fuc k were they going to flip that house for?! No matter how much you spruced it up, it was still creepy as hell. No one was going to buy that house, so the idea that they were going to flip it was a really weak premise in my opinion.

So about that ending....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to rewatch the series to see how it all connects but first impression is the ending sorta feels like a cop out. Like, the ghosts are all of a sudden happily ever after? What about all that fugged up poo we just witnesssd for nine episodes? It just doesn’t vibe right to have such a heart warming ending imo. Appparently the original plan was for the end to show all the children together and happy outside of the house, only for the camera to reveal the “red room” window, meaning they are still in that room in some sense. But the writer/director decided the night before filming that he liked these characters too much to put them through that hell.

I think that would have been an interesting open-ended ending and more fitting to the series as a whole. Oh well, it wasn’t a terrible ending. It’ll be interesting to see if the next season is based on an entirely new house and characters.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
