Wayward Pines (2015–2016)

Season 2 all over the place

[14 July 2016]

Spoilers for season 2 -- I can see why all the season 1 alum decided to get themselves killed off...just to get out of their contracts I would guess. But such meaningless deaths.

Killing Ethan off was their first mistake. Season 2 is just all over the place. Too many back stories, to many people doing things with no follow up.

How is the petulant little boy leader going to handle homosexuality? Kill them? Wouldn't that be a hate crime?

Patric just needs to put one in the head of the leader, his girl, the hypnotherapist, definitely that AfAmer brown-shirt jerk who loves to pull his gun on EVERYONE. And he needs to leave that wench wife of his, just move out. When she and her WP husband talked of all their 'good times' that they have had...in what, one year? I had to laugh.

Patric, nor anyone else, seems to care that they tried to kill him. that would anger me and not be something I would forget or allow others to forget.

Too much going on. No story makes sense. no loose ends wrapped up. You are left shaking your head.

What the heck happened to a show that was pretty good first season?????????

Willow Creek (2013)

Could have been much better

[4/10 · 19 September 2015]

Very boring beginning. Too much local flavor. Bossy dude on the dirt road...why? Pot farming? his property? No clue. Tent taken down, sock in a tree. Why? Our campers must think that is a totally normal occurrence in the forest. Sitting in a tent with the light on rather than getting out and facing whatever it is, starting a fire, you name it. Next day, you can't figure out how to got into the area and retrace your steps? You have a stream on one side, a hill on the other and you go in circles as if there is something magical going on in this particular patch of ground? And then we find a large bloated fat dirty woman with emphysema and some other entity we can't see who can drag someone very fast and appears to sound like a mountain lion. 2 minutes of action and it's over.
