The problem with the twist is that it was just not realistic. There was no reason for the imposter Cliff and Sydney to murder the real Cliff and Sydney, then steal their identities. After all, the real Cliff and Sydney's murder was reported right away, so they obviously had the bodies. Pretending to be the real Cliff and Sydney would provide no benefit, and would actually raise suspicion if they ever presented ID or pretended to be the real couple. Why were they studying the history of Cliff and Sydney so they could impersonate them? It's not like they'd be able to fool anyone that actually knew them if the opportunity arose. And more importantly, anyone that knew Cliff and Sydney would also know that they're dead. Why not just use their real names, after all no one knew they were the murderers. I know they had Cliff and Sydney's nature/forest passes or whatever (right??), but what was their plan? Hike to that beach, and make a getaway by swimming or kayaking to Alaska? Order a puddle jumper to Japan? And why did the imposter Cliff lure Nick into the water cave to try to kill him? Why not just act normal, say their goodbyes at the end of the day, and then go back to town and figure a realistic way to escape to wherever it is they wanted to go? Like buying plane tickets because no one suspected them as the murderers.
Or do I have it all wrong, and they were just bat shit crazy, fantasizing, and trying to stick around so they could kill as many other people as possible? That doesn't make sense, because they clearly showed concerns during a private discussion and agreed to "keep up the act" with Nick and Gina until they reached the beach. But even if "keep up the act" meant don't let Nick and Gina know we're psychos, why was it important to kill them at the beach? Why not right there on the trail while they were sleeping that night?
Right, but in her defense she didn’t know how much of a mafia guy he still was.
Yeah but did the writers know that at the time of the script. Seems to me like it was a “soft ending” with the flashback and all.
This felt like the writers way of saying if we don’t get renewed for a 3rd season that was a decent ending. A bit nihilist, but shows the audience the end (no one ever leaves) and then how it all started.
He does have hooters in the movie poster….
Truer words have never been spoken on this board. Other than your claim that Cooper is a "dirty scraggly hillbilly." He's actual a "grungy, gap-toothed redneck." Hillbillies are by definition from the Appalachian region, although many of their traits do cross over with rednecks. Also, Rednecks are seen in a much more favorable light, especially in the past 20 to 30 years with the rise in popularity of country music, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry the Cable Guy, and more recently due to shows such as Yellowstone.
I don't think that's technically legal under prevailing franchise law. The demon, as the "franchisor," has a right to set certain guidelines for its products/services, etc., but cannot control the day to day business operations of the franchisee. I think what is ideal here is for the demon to do an Undercover Boss episode, and visit maybe 25% of the franchisees. Maybe go into the lunch/coffee room and listen to the employee/minions chatter. The one fat minion starts talking **** about the parent franchisor, and how he can projectile vomit further than the old man. Then the demon does a reveal and tries to de-bone him, but the host stops it and asks the demon to consider the types of pressures that are imposed on the individual franchisee's minions. Also a lawyer comes in an explains to the demon why he may be setting himself up for a hostile workplace claim (even though he's not the boss, but instead just the franchisor). The demon then sits down at the lunch table does get emotional, all the minions gather round, and he starts telling stories about when he first started possessing innocent victims in 7523 B.C., and that its easy to forget how difficult it was at that stage of his career. The demon says that he'd like to get back to his roots, and signs amended franchise agreements with all of the franchisees that no longer require unique deaths, and also authorizes them to simply use the "cast them down to burn in the eternal flames of hell" remedy under most circumstances.
I will never again be able to buy her sweet hearted hero character in Final Destination.
Yeah, but it closed one of the more pointless storylines of the show (the Teeter/Colby romance).
No body believes you’re not gay.
