Chapter 11

Imo this episode is up there with part 1, 5, 7, and now 11! This one was brilliant! New viewers debating whether or not to watch this series? Experience it! That's what this is it's an experiece. I just binged season 1 and watched part 11 and started June 1st 2018 it's that good!

The second season has been so fun I have no idea what the haters are talking about but I have ways to go but all the negative reviewa for this episode, let's me know that this is art! You're either going to love it or just not, simple as that! The last two episodes have been sp straightforward imo, so I'm trying to figure what it is that may not appeal so far and I think its hyper cerebral. It requires you to really watch and be absolutely alert and awake. If you're tired your likely not going to be into it. I can totally understand why someone wouldnt like this show just like people dont like Cloud Atlas, which I LOVE!

Season 2 has after 3 episodes raised the bar from season 1. It should be thought of as one long movie too imo. A few episodes play out as one long one but not filled with filler just that the way this series is captured and the way it executed, it requires it I think, at least I'm not complaining I really like the pace which may be an unpopular opinion because I binge as opposed to watching weekly.

It's tough because each episode has so much to process but also is better to watch in heaps.

I loved the cow in this episode because it made me think of Fringe and I'm wondering if that was the point for some homage.

I love the John hamm narration and what he talks about I find it very intriguing and makes me question what is really going on and how this season is especially about mental illness more than the first. This episdoe in particular raises good examples in the beginning with John Hamm qbout reality and how yawns are viral. How can you not be fascinated by this????

This episode is absolutely a 10/10 and I barely ever give them out but it had me on the edge of my seat with critical thinking situations. Bravo to Noah Hawley and boo to anyone bashing this show for poor quality.

It bothers me when the premise of the episode is based on something a writer makes up thats not true. You can add it to your world but don't pretend it exists in the real world.

Good interaction with the Shadow King. Actors seem more into it than e1 and e2. So maybe this is picking up. Still lacking, and seems inconsistent. As in the voices David hears and e1 and 2 seem to be gone. Where did they go? I think I liked him better when he had the shadow king inside him.

Nocebo has absolutely nothing to do with tics.

Tics are absolutely not contagious.

Claiming that an individual can develop tics due to psychological trauma, and then "infect" other people with "the tics" is one of the dumbest claims a TV show has ever made.

Nocebo and tics are real world psychological conditions.

I don't understand why this show has gone into season two suddenly trying to connect each episode with real life psychological connections, when it fails so hard to describe and represent them properly.

If this is how this show is going to continue I'm going to stop watching because this is genuinely one of the dumbest things I have seen in a very long time.

I love weird shows. I just do. I know that many find confusion and bewilderment frustrating, but for me they are viscerally satisfying emotions, regardless of whether or not they are followed by clarity. It is perfectly fine to dislike a show like Legion or Twin Peaks for having an abstract style of storytelling. People can like different things, and just because you enjoy different things than I do does not mean that you are less intelligent than me, it just means that we have different tastes. What I cannot stand are people who think that anybody who likes something that they don't is either pretentious or a liar. I'm not pretending to like things just to seem smart. I haven't been paid to review things positively. I just like different things from you. I don't get why it's so hard for some people to grasp the concept that people can have differing opinions without a hidden agenda. This isn't just a one-way issue, either. Fans of shows like this have long been guilty of accusing naysayers of just being "too dumb to get it". This is an equally closed-minded and damaging way of looking at the world, and extremely condescending.

I hope that people will eventually learn to accept that others can have different tastes, and to respect their decisions about what is and isn't for them. Somehow, I doubt it. As Oliver said in episode 4 of season 1, "We are the root of all our problems; our confusion, our anger, our fear of things we don't understand. Violence, in other words, is ignorance."
