oh my fucking god shut up
in just 10 episodes From was already way more frustrating than Lost got in 3 seasons
it has such a reddit brained understanding of "mysteries" as not a bunch of motivators for character drama but instead motivators for people online to be Satisfied By when The Reveal happens, and I really don't think that The Reveal is gonna satisfy me particularly lol
It also has a very, like, psychologically illiterate understanding of character drama. Where character drama is "a person yelling at another person" as opposed to like, characters having conflicting goals or needs stemming from coherent motivations.
yeah like I really love Donna and Boyd and their dynamic in theory, in large part because of how much Elizabeth Saunders and Harold Perrineau bring to those roles, but man the show is just so uninterested in actually laying out what the difference is between the town and colony house ideologically or even just personally between the two characters. there's something there but it just never quite... solidifies
