[NAFDA] Spoiler Policy: Seasons 1-3 and the movie are fair game. Spoiler font two weeks for new content presented all at once (e.g. Season 4 on Hulu is fair game as of Aug. 9, 2019). New content presented as weekly episodes may be discussed with no restrictions as it is released.
My subfunctional reproductive organs and new parent protectiveness took a look at the spoilers and fled, twitching and crying.
I didn't even bother to look at spoilers, because I hated all the characters anyway. Which is a damned shame, because I dig Minear's work, and Adam Baldwin is so fucking hot.
Signed, learned that lesson, and will nevereverever watch The Inside as a result.
Well, that too, but I may have extended my "trust in Tim" a bit longer if it hadn't been for the triggers. It just wasn't an enjoyable show for me on any level.
See also: didn't watch the last half of Smallville S2.
I forget what happened. What happened?
I've got the dead baby episode of the Inside downloaded, and have ahd it for months, but I'm afraid to watch it.
I forget what happened. What happened?
Your standard Miracle Pregnancy followed by Tragic Miscarriage.
F that noise.
Your standard Miracle Pregnancy followed by Tragic Miscarriage.
Momma Kent, right? It didn't ping me; I just thought it was stupid.

Oh, it's thoroughly stupid.
And, were it not so dang triggery for my own issues, I'd totally have rolled my eyes. Heck, I did roll my eyes. I also just avoided watching.
Ah, I never watched The Inside because it didn't sound like my thing. It appears I made a good choice there.
I am so tempted to seek spoilers on VM, but since I have managed to avoid them this long I will try and stay pure.
as noir in general does not, I suppose.
Depends on the noir. Lots of classic noirs end with the bad guy getting his (or hers), albeit in a bleak, uncompromising way. S1 of VM actually more or less ended like that, so I'm definitely curious about what's going down next week.
I couldn't take The Inside too long, either. Had the episode in which Tim kills Scott ever aired, I wouldn't have watched it, because it was the "feel good dead baby episode of the year." Couldn't do it.
Several of my LJ buddies who love the show have expressed similar discontent--not with the quality of the show, but with the grimness. One of them even went out as far as to say that she wouldn't watch S3 if the culprit turned out to be Beaver, because that'd be just too horrific for her.
I really think it is Beaver. I've just finished my spec. It's pretty comprehensive, rationalizing clues that we've been given, and sorting out the ratred herrings, and analyzing everything from chlamydia to Terrence Cook.
I think I've touched on everything except who put Veronica's name on Curly's hand, because about that? I have no clue.
I do mention the title of the episode, and discuss the TV-broadcast promos for the episode, so fair warning to those who are going to check it out.
