Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
It would be weird, but interesting, if they set the next season in the future. It's funny that the future is almost exclusively covered by sci-fi. Usually there's no reason to go forward in time unless you're addressing a technology related issue, but in a continuing story like this, why not? The past is the more predictable route, and I kind of hate that the tendency is always to go with origin stories we're already somewhat familiar with.
They could make it a different house entirely I suppose.

re: haunting of hill house. i was extremely disappointed with how it ended.
fell completely flat, i thought. it seemingly peak around episode 7.
i dunno, maybe my expectation were just set too high

Seen a fair amount of that. I just think this particular story peaked in the late middle and that's how it had to be. If it ended with the house exploding or the family all being "captured" by the house, then it ruins some of the impact of the family members that died or maybe sacrificed themselves. Since it was as much about the family dynamics even more than the horror elements, that's where the resolution landed. Having said that I was still very entertained up through episode 8 at least, and there were part of the last 2 I liked a lot.go birds wrote:re: haunting of hill house. i was extremely disappointed with how it ended.

Poor [expletive] Nellie though. What a [expletive] hand to be dealt.

that's interesting...I just finished 9 so just have one more episode (10 ) left...was it that episode that let you down? (the last episode), or more?go birds wrote:re: haunting of hill house. i was extremely disappointed with how it ended.

because it's actually been building for me; been getting better every single episode...
the wife and I sat down to watch episode 6...then was like crap, it was awesome, so we went to 7; then 8; then 9...they just kept getting better and better.
we really wanted to stay up and just finish it/watch episode 10, but it was 2 am and saw that last episode is like 1 1/2 hours.

was still a good episode; but nothing like the ones that preceded it. I know they had to wrap is up, but was hoping for a few thrills or twists or something that last episode.

Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
but all in all, it was a very good show I thought...I just hate that horror/scary shows are hard to watch multiple times like dramas/comedies are; since the scary parts you already know are coming

Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
I enjoyed the finale simply because of the bolded part. It was a character drama set around a haunted house. They resolved the character drama and answered the questions.ghostrunner wrote:Seen a fair amount of that. I just think this particular story peaked in the late middle and that's how it had to be.

I just hope they let it be and try to tackle something else similar. There are other traditional stories that make more sense as a 10 hour tv show than a 2-3 hour movie.
