The Outsider


Rubi

Recommended Posts

New creepy HBO series based on the Stephen King novel. Really like how dark it is. HBO does a good job with how gritty some of their shows are. This one is kind of like True Detective with more of a supernatural evil. Enjoying it so far.

I was extremely disappointed with the first 2 episodes and won't be back. I didn't find anything about it challenging or mysterious or creepy. Matter of fact, it was pretty predictable and weak, in my opinion.

I read King back in the day when he was the hottest author out there, and a lot of his early stuff was pretty good. But, over a period of time, the formula becomes fairly predictable and familiar and they all start reading alike.

It doesn't get good until they bring in Holly Gibney. First two episodes were setup episodes. It's moving pretty well now.

Really happy with the final episode...other than the stupid 'sniper's bullet shooting a gasoline leak and making the entire vehicle burst into a ball of flames' choice that Jason Bateman made. Otherwise it was great. The post credits scene was interesting; I've read they're thinking about another season since the ratings were so high. Chasing that cash!

Thought the interaction with the outsider was a bit weak. I wanted more info from him and some answers. It felt rushed. I still enjoyed the suspense of the season overall. Just wish the end had more bite to it

Same, big build up for not much payoff, easily killed not much backstory. 

But still enjoyed it, just nitpicking really.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
