Thank you. I had no idea mustard would be so caustic!
Is "Being white with really the audience rate for them gets smaller every day." a real sentence?
I have no doubt that the series took some poetic license. However, I'm not certain whether the details I asked about were among the embellishments.
What exactly is the "scene"? Central Park is a big place. If the series' depiction is accurate, they were not present at the jogger's rape, let alone restraining her; they "admitted" witnessing it under compulsion.
I don't think you can press charges for what they <i>could</i> have done.
This really mischaracterises the series; there are literally two fleeting scenes that use footage of Trump. By any objective estimate, he's an exceedingly marginal figure in the narrative, onscreen for well under 1% of the time.
Would you consider a subject line that gives less away?
I can't speak for *all* the stuff, but Lizzy does tell Emma that her husband made their furniture rather than bring it from St. Louis. It's not inconceivable that they did bring the clothes, lamps, books and linen with them. Maybe the crops weren't noticeable but they were alluded to: Isaac was helping Gideon sow his. I can't imagine anyone who's making $500k bonuses living in those conditions. If I had that income, the first thing I'd invest in would be a solid door.
It was a short film and I thought the third act was the climax.
Was it the vocal chords? I assumed it was the tongue.
Well, they drive away in a truck. It probably takes a minute or two for the staff to notice they're gone.
LOL!
Yes, there were younger people in the new Palm Springs; as Del and Grace drive out, they pass a woman pushing a baby in a stroller.
As for pets, Grace leaves the house where she was being "treated" with her goldfish in a bag.
We clearly don't have a full answer to why the Palm Springs group travels so far to find Grace, but from the scar on her nuque, we can infer that they had already started treating her. We don't know how long, costly and difficult that treatment was--starting over might have been more difficult and time-consuming than fetching her from the other side of the country.
The first thing you ask is never explained. We are told (through Grace's reminiscences) that everyone died at once on a Thursday afternoon but not what killed them. Personally, I don't think it makes a difference to the story.
We get a clue as to "what was going on in the town where they were operating on people" when the visitor who identifies himself as Grace's father invites Del to his town, telling him they have a team of doctors, the best in the world, "coming up with new ways to harness the complexities of the human mind." When Del arrives in Palm Springs, the same guy tells him that they purge people of unhappy memories and the negative emotions that come with them. In light of Grace's response, it's safe to say the procedure isn't altogether effective, but at least we get a sense of what they were *trying* to do.
What did you dislike about his performance?
As I understood it, everything that seemed to be coming over the radio was canned. No shooting was actually reported. The undercover guy did hide an assault weapon, though.
You might want to edit the title of your thread to not give so much away to viewers who haven't watched the film yet.
People aren't one-dimensional: it's entirely possible the guy was a criminal and a decent father. I think it would be entirely appropriate for the son to have conflicted feelings about him.
I would assume they untied her before leaving with her assailant. We can only speculate about what, if anything, she reported. I don't think anything in the narrative depends on it.
So how do you account for the decade hiatus?
Why do you take it for granted that she explained it to anyone? Or did I overlook a scene where she does?
