  1. I think the genius of this show is that people like my wife that hadn’t even heard of the movie, much less the comic, are enjoying it because she’s enjoyed shows like The Leftovers in the past.  But if you know the source material it’s even on another level of enjoyment,  while as @Nice Guy Eddie mentioned above, still keeping you confused and uncertain of what is happening next (in a good way). 
     

    edited to add - the fact that we can have those familiar and unfamiliar with source material on same thread without a fucking meltdown is a miracle in and of itself.

    my first UT game was bluebonnet bowl v air force, at rice stadium. met earl campbell too 

    ut lost 

    Mine too.  Although I wasn't a UT fan yet and rooting for Air Force.  That was a top 5 Air Force team.

  3. Yeah. This is one of those times where the opponent you beat is more important than how it went down.  I tell you 28-22 2 days ago you are thrilled.  The Titans are coming on hard and Texans have to play them twice.  This was a massive win.

  4. Two other bits from ep 5 that mean more in ep 6:

     

    - When looking glass breaks into 7K compound, there is a cyclops mural on wall.  
     

    - I missed this the first time but Senator Keene mentioned that he *and* Judd Crawford came in to fix the mess after the White Night.   Perhaps others caught it,  but they were clearly working together, it seems.

    I know this is a common sentiment, and one that most people reflexively agree with at first glance, but this is a serious questionWhy?  How does the football coach's personality/ethics affect your life in any way? 

    Football exists solely in my life for entertainment.  I'm tired of having to change out of burnt orange before leaving the house on Saturday nights so I don't have to deal with the smirk and "what happened to y'all today?" questions from strangers.  I just want to win, and I don't care who does it.

    Fine.  Let's hire Pitino when we fire Shaka this year and bring Art Briles in from East Texas if he's available after Urban invariably turns us town. I'm exaggerating.  But they are just different points on a continuum, not apples to oranges.  YMMV on where you'd prefer to jump off that continuum before we are looking at guys like Kiffin or Briles, and that's fair.

    But to answer your question, it's certainly more fun when I want to root for the coach, too.  I simply don't want to root for Urban if I don't have to.  If we hired Urban, I'd handle it the same way I do Herman:  reluctantly, because I support the school and the players over the coach.  And with Urban, I'd be crossing my fingers we don't turn into late aught's early 2010's Florida.

  6. I don’t want my coach to be a douchebag or a piece of shit. Urban Meyer is a piece of shit.  Ergo.  I don’t want him.  I felt the same about Herman who is a douchebag.  I was ready to tolerate him after Georgia last year, but that’s done. 
     

    How about a thoughtful, reasoned process that allows us to choose among a few people that are interested rather than starting at Urban/Saban and checking down a list until we aren’t rejected like we did when we hired Strong.  Fuck the narrative in the press.  Run the process with all deliberate speed.  Nevermind.  That will never happen.  Red out front shoulda told you.  Gruden!

  7. I am watching a second time around with the wife until she catches up.  Petey is absolutely Lube Man.  He comes into Blake's office shortly after Abar returns with the lube belt and Petey walks in all out of breath.  I don't think they are hiding the ball on that at all.

    Peteypedia has multiple entries where Pete is sending memos about how the Minutemen dramatizations are complete BS. So the idea is either the authorities never knew Hooded Justice's identity or they knew and didn't want society to know it was a black man that inspired costumed heroes. 

    Plus it's a shot at Zach Snyder.

    Ozy isn't building catapults or space suits in one day, so I don't think it's a Groundhog Day situation. I think he's been there 4 years now, as the candles keep increasing in the cake. He's getting frustrated that he can't find a method to escape. Hence why he killed everyone in frustration or anger.

    I bet that the thing that crashed into the Clark farm, now owned by Lady Trieu, will end up be Ozy or something related to him. It seems apparent that he's going to catapult himself into the sky, so where does he come down? I guess that the sky is the bridge between different dimensions.

    I saw that farm scene from the beginning as having been in the past.  They said she was "building" the tower, but now the tower seems already built.  

    Catching up on thread -- yeah, they are playing with timelines a bit.  As long as it doesn't pull any cheap Westworld tricks, I'll allow it.

    I got the feeling from the last episode that he was there for a reason and part of the setup to everything that happened. I can’t remember what gave me that thought now, so maybe I’ll go back and watch it again.

    He grabs a phone right after Finn leaves the room like he is going to call someone after Finn blurts our they are going to kill a fascist.  Looked suspicious.

    If Don Johnson was Nite Owl wouldn’t Jean Smart have recognized him from the photo? If he was/is and she did, then she must be in on his death being faked.

    Color me skeptical on that theory.

    Nite Owl is in jail.  That’s why Keene said if he was president he could even pardon that owl out of its cage or something like that.

    lemme tell you a little about bush v gore 

    Yeah, that may have been the case that broke the supreme court.  I was a 1L in Law School the year after, and it read like bizarro world.
