the theory that the Moloch project is the son of Cardinez, aka the boy in whose dream the Wendimore exists, is becoming more and more real
, I hope this is at least not entirely true, it will be very sad to reveal the plot in the middle of the season

The situation with a bunch of rooms and a monster was reminiscent of that Doctor Who episode, "God Complex." It's not for nothing that TV series have fanbases that overlap so much.

@Cherie_: Yeah, just like they say on the web, then there was a writers' strike, or something, and his kind of 6 written episodes for DC went under the carpet, and in the end he rewrote them to another character.

@s_belichenko: and, by the way, this very arch of proto-Dirk can be viewed in its restored form - Shada is called (as well as City of Death). Somehow, I didn't find any particularly large intersections, although Adams cut out a lot from there in the end.

Oh my beautiful boy.
He's been so lonely all his life and wanted a friend so much, and now he can't even be happy to have one because he's afraid of harming and losing. If you look at Dirk for a long time in this episode, you can see how he was flattened by responsibility.
The vitality is 80 levels.

Also, Friedkin!
He certainly did a lot of wild stuff, so he broke all Todd Brotzman's records, and I still can't really sympathize with him (and I don't think I ever will, though with this series.... never say never), but it's so spent and believable. "I just wanted to make a piece!I had to make a thing!And then I realized that I couldn't handle it, and that some kind of wild game was going on, and I was all alone, JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO (and feed ME sugar)."

A good, kind series about intelligent, crazy people.
In general, there is something Taoist in all of this (and I love it when there is something Taoist in a work). Pure spontaneity and wuwei. Plus a good pinch of absurdism.

Sherlock, who was woken up by Todd, is just an illustrative example of me in the morning.
The communication between Panto and Bart was so sweet that it was impossible not to smile.
If I'm not mistaken, Sherlock turned out to be the second person Todd told about his illness and how selfish he was and how he cheated on his sister, and now he wants to fix it all. And the support from the sheriff is aaaww.
And the episodes with Amanda and Vogl are as beautiful as the dawn! Vogle really wanted to help him so that he wouldn't suffer from pain, and just hug Amanda. Although, she copes well with the troubles piled up by lighting a cigarette and showing the middle finger x) But! Did you see her face when she saw Todd? Even though he was lying to her, she was GLAD to see him, after all, a close person. My heart was in a lot of pain.
I am infinitely pleased that in every episode Todd tries to make Dirk uncomfortable, who is having an existential crisis. He's going to protect him so that nothing happens to him, even if he starts protesting and asking Todd not to follow him.
The headlight that prevented Tina from trying the ash-sand biaka is wonderful!))
A delightful episode, we are waiting for the next one. Dirk should be wearing a red jacket by now)

@Gonzzales: It's like in the Silent Hill movie and the sequel SH Revelations — all the signs of peace in the sequel are in place, but the feeling is not the same at all. In the first season, everything that was happening was part of a crazy world, and here, for some reason, there is a sense of falsity, as if the series was simply crammed with more of everything with the idea of surprising the audience more strongly (although the ogre fit in perfectly, I don't dispute that). I hope like hell that this feeling disappears in the second half of the season.

And yet: the time machine, the shark kitten, the girl's transformation into a dog, the incomprehensible Dirk from nowhere. All this creates a schizophrenic atmosphere in the REAL world. But add fantasy and magic, and all the wildest things immediately become commonplace. So the authors screwed themselves up with the setting they chose for the fictional world.

@TeoLiss: In the first season, there was also "mommy what is this" and the transmigration of souls is no less fantastical. Or sucking out emotions.
Or is it all fantasy for you, until they showed you the device, and Toda is already fantastic? :)

I think we can call the "magical land" the dream of a boy who has this ability, and he formed childhood impressions and fears into a separate parallel reality. So much for fantasy :)

Honestly, when I watched the moment with the purple monster, I got hooked on a point.
I am very glad that everything is gradually starting to clear up. If it wasn't clear at all in the first episode, now the puzzle is starting to take shape in a small way.

After all, the static effects that were in the second episode were not made for fun, but based on the events of this series, they hint that everything that happens in the season is some kind of fictional world, something like someone's dream. Apparently, it's still a Hammer in a dream that creates its own fictional world in reality.
In short, the plot of this season is "the dog's dream." Well, in this case, a boy.

Somehow the first season was easier for me to understand and digest)
Is it just me, or is Dirk kind of painfully depressed this season? Previously, he just somehow didn't bother because of the danger.

How much this series resembles a mix of Doctor Who and Twin Peaks. Moreover, some tension is taken from Twin Peaks, almost on the verge of hysteria, and optimism is taken from the Doctor, the one that "no matter what".

Everything is getting darker and creeper, which means it's reaching a new level. That feeling when you've known the song Flying Purple People Eater for a long time, and it suddenly comes to life.)

I like how Dirk's character develops, his tossing between habitual madness and forced rationalism. It's interesting to watch Todd, whose motivation to be in this whole mess clearly doesn't end with finding Amanda. He's crazily more comfortable now than Dirk was the whole first season.)

And I must say that absolutely the entire cast is a masterpiece, we still need to look for such excellent actors.)
