    Sergio's actual tie dyeing looks better in this photo than on the runway.  I can see the yellow color in more areas than just along the bottom edge.  It's a lovely dress.   Geoffrey still deserved the win, though.

  2. My SO and I talked last night about the minions and whether there was one when the Terry doppelganger was forming.   It doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 thing.  There were two minions in Ohio.   They were still active while the demon was heading to Georgia and starting to form into Terry.   The demon might not have needed one in Georgia yet.

     Shouldn't there be a Claude doppelgänger, rather than Claude turning evil?  Terry didn’t turn evil after he was scratched. 

    That's going to be curious.  We haven't seen any neck blisters on Claude yet.  I'm still betting he's the model for the next doppelganger.

    I can’t see that drunk couple getting married. They are one hot mess!!! I like how laid back Glenn is and how he isn’t afraid to help his crew if they’re struggling. 

    I also liked that he was willing to step in when the happy couple was fighting.  It was a good idea to station someone outside the door in case one of them hit the other.

    I’ve been late to this show and have been catching up on demand. I’ve been trying to figure out:

    We had the nursing home orderly doppleganger in Dayton and his minion

    We now  have Jack as the minion, as the entity transforms into the doppleganger of the strip club manager (we assume)

    Was there a minion for Terry, and who was it?

     

    That's an excellent question.  I don't know.   When the model for the doppelganger changes location (NY to Ohio, Ohio to Georgia), the demon obviously follows.  He must make a minion after he arrives.

    Courtney, you blocked Brian because he called you "cold hearted?"  Really?

     

    I was kind of hoping that she finally realized after his texts that she's been snogging a moron all season and was closing that door.

    After watching the “ Below Deck”reunion, this was a real palate cleanser. I know it’s early in the season but I love the crew especially Captain Glenn.  Adam is much nicer this time around.His break from yachting real helped his attitude. Hope hooking up with Jenna doesn’t ruin it.

     

    I clapped with joy when the team dinner ended at a reasonable hour, with a reasonable amount of alcohol consumed, then clapped again when they were told to get out of the hot tub and most everyone headed to bed.   This is their job and I'm happy to see it treated as such, for the most part.  Yeah, that's a low bar to clear but we just finished watching the mess in Thailand.

    As for the happy couple, they are both stone cold idiots and a case could be made for them each to be appointed a legal guardian.  Neither are capable of making a reasonable decision for themselves.

    Speaking of which . . . I don't even know the guy's name, and I assumed he was the owner or at least manager of the strip club, but why did the bouncer drag him out of the bar for trying to break up a fight between two patrons? And where did he go and why was Yunis watching him? Does he know about the scratch?

     

    I think we're supposed to see that he's acting out of character.  Previously he seemed like an in control manager of a strip club.   I don't think the issue was necessarily was him breaking up the fight, although that's the bouncer's job surely, but that he was getting into it a bit too vigorously rather that defusing the situation.

    Glory was willing to consider that her own beloved husband violently murdered a boy rather than accept that the supernatural could be involved. 

     

    And Glory was forced to face a consequence of her outburst when she saw her daughter picking up Terry's things that Glory had torn out of the drawers and closet and chucked into the hallway.    That was powerful.

  9. So, we were right about the demon having two types of victims. 

    - The ones who are scratched (DNA collected) and then become the model for the demon's next incarnation.  

    - The minions who are physically and psychologically abused, have the neck blisters, and who do things for the demon while he's (we have no proof of gender, I'm just going with male as a default) changing form.

    I like that Holly and Jeannie have found each other and are working off one another.  Ralph is on the periphery as the voice of reason, listening to them and (we hope) changing his mind as more starts to emerge.   

    Yunis, the Hispanic detective, is kind of curious.  It sounds like his grandparents or other family members laid the ground work for him to potentially believe in the supernatural or unexplainable, which led him to work with Holly and to potentially believe in the demon fairly early on.  I hope they have him struggle a bit more with the concepts, though.

    I love Laris and Zhaban. Especially Laris. That fight scene might have been my favorite of the show thus far, though the ending with "Engage" and the TNG theme song obviously hit exactly the right note.

    It's been a slow build, which I didn't mind, but excited to see where the show goes now that it actually feels like it's going!

     

    The best thing for me about the fight scene was that Picard didn't fight like a ninja.  He's an older man.  They showed him as such.  Well done.

    As usual, I'm totally confused with this show.   Which scene are you referring to?  The one where he is in her house and tells her that her husband needs to stop investigating or bad things will happen to them?

    Or the one in the doctor's office with the hoodie guy.  Was that a real scene?  Did she dream that? 

     

    I was referring to when he was in her house, particularly at the table.  

    The hoodie guy in the office was just some dude sleeping.  Yes, that was real.

    I was never threatened with the boogeyman either; I did think it was kind of convenient and odd that everyone asked seemed to have such a reference.

     

    I heard the scary stories from other kids, rather than from my parents.  There were some hints of old world stuff from my elderly relatives, but not from my parents.

    So  wait, they never found out if she really had a daughter that died, or had a kid at all. How could they let that go?

     

    I got the feeling that everyone pretty much believed she was lying about everything.   She needs some therapy and career counseling.

    Wow this is gonna be quite a shitstorm. I'm up for it.

    This couple have lived on the boat for 9 months and the interior is a nightmare. He doesn't know how to turn the hot tub on. There  are no steak knives for the guests. The sails already popped out of the whatever it is. Bring it on


    Oh, there were some red flags in her life story, too.  Homeschooled by parents who decided on a whim that the whole family should move on to a sailboat despite having no real experience sailing.  She falls for the guy her parents hire to help with the boat.  Literally the first guy who came along.

    Do they always have a private party for the finale?  That seemed like a terrible idea.

    Put a bunch of people that are so sick of each other that they want to go to their separate corners and pretend like its a party.

    Seems like some combination of the women decided to be woo girls just to make it seem like this was a good party.

    I guess they figured they would get more drama if they dropped them on a private island where they couldn't decide to go back to the boat on their own.

     


    It did save the patrons at the various bars in town from having to deal with the brus.

    I'm fine with the pacing. I haven't noticed myself checking my watch or anything. I find the story engrossing enough. But I'm still on the fence about where it's going. The Coco and boogeyman stuff is making me give it the side-eye. I like all the characters though. 

     

    Stephen King has a long history of taking something familiar or well trodden and making it scary as heck.   I have hope that he torqued the boogeyman legends enough for an interesting payoff.

    Cheap and boring pandering. If they wanted an atmospheric environment, they could have gone with a regular seedy bar.

    In this case, the strip club is clearly someplace a family man like Terry wouldn't be, which shows the doppelganger's behavior was out of the ordinary for Terry.   He might have a beer occasionally at the local dive bar.

    Jeannie wasn't dreaming though. You don't cut your foot in a dream. I imagine that Tamika probably wasn't dreaming either - he probably just put the baby back. I think it's more along the lines of IT, where adults can easily convince themselves that they were dreaming or something isn't real. The power of the rational mind. Children on the other hand.......

    I agree that the demon showing up to Jeannie and the girl aren't dreams.    I haven't worked out the dead people showing up, though.  It could be figments of their imagination, as you suggest, or maybe something the demon can do to ramp up grief among survivors.

    Yeah Hofsteader only died recently and Maria hadn't died, so I suspect Terry's premature death left him with some time to uh kill until he can fully dopplegang the strip bar guy. I still don't know why The Boogeyman is preoccupied with getting popped by the cops, OR why his argument is so bad for "stopping". He's like heh heh let me kill children because if you don't something REALLY bad will happen, like I'll kill...ADULTS.  Apparently supernatural monsters don't know how to manipulate people. 

     

    The scene with Jeannie and the hoodie demon was really creepy, I think in large part to Mare Winningham's acting.  

    I thought at first that the demon's face was sort of melted looking when he was between doppelganger forms, but the description Terry's daughter gave and Jeannie's description were pretty close to one another.  Maybe he stays melted until his oven timer goes off.  😉

  19. My BF and I are working on a theory that the demon thing affects people in a couple of ways.  The ones with the blistered necks become his minions, feeding him deer and helping him with his lighting and home decor needs out in the woods (a joke about the lamps).  The people who get scratched are the ones that have doppelgangers created.   I think that it must be the demon using his time in hiding to transmogrify or whatever into the doppelganger form.  He must need time to use the person's DNA to make the duplicate image.   The grieving relatives aren't physically touched by the demon, he pushes them into intense grief so he can feed.

    According to the show, people who choose sites for cemeteries in Ohio and elsewhere have a tendency to put them next door to derelict factories.  😉   Down further south, it's just near a farm.

  20. This episode should be titled Jesus and the Sociopath.   That woman had no empathy nor any regrets.  

    I was really glad that Jesus wanted to cut it off with her once he found out and thank goodness he didn't give her any money.   He's had a hard life, but from the Two Months Later report at the end, he appears to be doing well.   

    I would bet hard money that she deleted those catfish accounts only because they were "blown" by the show and she now has a whole new set, maybe others that are long term but not mentioned on the show.
