the problem for me was that i did see the first episode. its like they were stringing on the plot and lore from the first episode but slapped a new plot on top of it.

there's a way to tell a story with random shyt happening and have it flow. that episode was just not written well. i couldnt even feel the emotional scenes because they were so random with no investment.


Also, its like the characters keep switching between being completely freaked out to unrealistically comfortable in this world with these new discoveries and cacs.

Yeah, that happened once with two of the characters, and it was very easily deduced why that happened.

I wish more writers would understand that no one really cares about lore. We care about characters. The lore only ever matters to the audience insofar as it matters to the characters. ‘Tic doesn’t give a shyt about anything having to do with the lodge or what the cultists are after. He’s only there because they have his dad and are holding everyone hostage. So you just watch, bored, at that entire climax because nothing about it is going to matter to characters that we actually care about.

When I read the bolded line, the first thing I thought of was this:
