Well, Joe Keery is only 3 years older than Juno Temple, so probably not. Of course, Angela Lansbury was only 3 years older than Laurence Harvey in The Manchurian Candidate, so there’s precedent, but I don’t think Dot is supposed to be his mother.
Either way, I really just meant it as a Stranger Things joke since the nail bat is Steve’s (Joe Keery) signature weapon on that show.
Maybe I was actually on to something with the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Mole Women reference.
Or not.
I haven’t seen it, so I’m not quite sure. But I was deeply horrified at how inured the present (Mrs.?) Sheriff was to being treated like a prostitute.
(Spoilers for episode 4 below.)
The Home Aloning wasn’t as elaborate or slapstick as I had hoped. But layering The Nightmare Before Christmas and Tiny Tim doing Sunny and Cher on top of that made up for it.
I don’t understand the “boogieman came and left a warning in the kid’s room” scene. Whose body are they wrapping in the tarp? Was there a guard in the house that was killed off-screen and not shown?
There were several that were pushed/fell down stairs, including into the basement. I suspect it was the intruder who ended up in the basement, as in a later scene she goes down to the basement and seems unconcerned.
“Pancakes!”
No, that was the Nightmare crew arriving home, and the son asking what happened with the dead guy. The body wasn’t from their group.
I thought Gater specifically told maceface and comodehead to ‘grab the stiff’ on the way out the door.
The ‘stiff’ being the one hit with the sledgehammer.
That, of course, doesn’t mean thats who was being wrapped with the tarp - the statement was that Munch left a message. Munch may have left more than one.
“go mom!”
Nope, the scene is Gator and the crew arriving back at the compound from their failed mission. All four people get out of the van, so all four survived. Gator walks up to two people wrapping a body in a tarp and asks what happened and they tell him that the boogieman came for a visit. This is the dead man:
This is not any of the three Ranch Davidians we have seen Munch kill so far (two when Gator tried to kill him, one at the gas station). If Munch killed this man during his visit to paint the wall it wasn’t shown or even mentioned. I have no idea who this man is or why he is dead, and none of the summaries I’ve found online even mention this point at all. (There seems to be a bloody cut on his throat like with Munch’s kill at the gas pump.)
When the FBI agents were meeting with their boss about the sheriff, one of them mentioned a deputy who got killed and was buried within 12 hours. I assumed that was the one killed at the gas station, and it makes sense that that’s who they were wrapping up on the porch.
The deputy was already buried by then.
Before Ole went into the sheriffs house he killed a guard. It was that guy.
I did a lot of scrolling around before, trying to find something like that and failed. Tried again just now and I found it, just a small handful of seconds (broken up by shots of Ole being weird) starting around 38:05 in 5x03.
In this last episode, I couldn’t get past the masks the deputies were wearing for the attack. They weren’t something that they picked up at Walmart on the way to her house, they must have ordered them online weeks ago and each one looked like it was bulky and uncomfortable. The whole episode, I was thinking that those masks looked like they cost a lot of money. I just found it all kind of affected.
Might not be the exact ones, though.
(I didn’t search directly for Walmart, that just happened to be some of the top images that came up.)
Not to mention, whenever they showed a POV from one of the ‘Skellington’ crew, it showed that the masks seriously restricted their peripheral vision. Not a good idea when going up against Dot in a ‘Home Alone’ style booby-trapped house.
I have to say, I’m really enjoying this season so far. It feels like a bit of a ‘return to form’ after S.4, which I couldn’t get into for whatever reason-- it seemed too disjointed or unfocused or something.
I know, but this would be funny if it was in a comedy thou right???
Wait a minute . . .
It was show breaking for me, but just a little over the top. In general, I like this season so far.
I loved the Tiny Tim version of “I Got You, Babe.” I kinda want it on my playlist.
For me, the music tracks are the most annoying part of this season. Loud, intrusive, and with little relevance to the scenes.
Episode 5 was excellent, didn’t want it to end.
All the players are coming together.
You do not mess with Dot.
TIL, Eleanore Buruchian (of The Cake) sings the “Sonny” parts. For a while there, I thought Tim sang both parts.
