Alrighty then. Since 3 of you are watching, I thought I'd join in. 'Cause I'm a joiner. Besides I used to love Lovecraft.
Ep1 was okay. I agree with what y'all have said for the most part. I'm not totally rocked by it or completely engaged but I'll watch more as the end of E1 was promising. I do like the idea of a reconciliation of Lovecraft's racism. As I said earlier during the shelter in place (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5358), I wasn't as sensitive to it as a teen because it was so systemic 40 years ago. I'd probably like the book, but I'm not reading much fiction and KB's review didn't sell it to me. Besides now I have the show.
I've had Color Out of Space (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5355) in my queue for a while now. I'll get there eventually. I used to love horror, a fallout of my MQ6 years. After Tara was born, I lost my taste for it. It got to 'jump scare' and stroboscopic for me. Plus after all my medical work, I've seen the insides of humans plenty of times now so splatter gore does nothing for me anymore.
But this did have tentacles, as Greg promised. And I do love tentacles. It's not a hentai thing. I know you're thinking that and that's so racist. Just kidding. It's a Lovecraft thing. Totally a Lovecraft thing.
