Did give some background on APEX and Walter Simmons, who were big players in Godzilla vs Kong. But even in that movie it’s not like they were very interesting entities.

Oh boy, a Mae-centric episode! What every fan has been clamoring for!

Seriously, this show started off really good, but I'm losing patience quickly.

I really tried hard to like this show, but this last episode was incredibly uninteresting and I’m out.

basically a whole episode to set that up...

[Texzilla58 4736]

Shaw is like 90. I think he’s banging the French lady badass. He’s got Godzilla cock. It makes that crazy roar!

This episode officially pushed it into hate watch status for me. Bad story, bad writing, bad characters, bad acting. Just bad.

Agreed.  It's such a disappointment.  I hope they all die.  I'll see if through though.

I'm borderline. 

"Two years earlier" "Two years later" "37 months before the two years earlier but after the six months later...." 

[Post Oak 20213]

Does anyone care about Mae?  I don't see how that episode advanced the storyline at all.  

The only halfway cool shot in this clusterfuck of a show was the Titan jumping at the helicopter then nothing.  The CGI is horrible.  The writing is lazy and the acting is inadequate. 

[HornOnTheBayou 8922]

I made it about 15 minutes into the latest episode before I bailed. I'm done with this show. Y'all let me know if it gets any better.

you didn't like the setup for girl on girl action.

[Texzilla58 4736]

Well it’s certainly taken a twist. I hate these young folks in every way possible.

Would have been a better show of just Shaw and the Randas chasing Titans, setting up Monarch, and then transitioning to them older as older actors and fighting Monarch and differences between them. The kids have just been an annoying distraction .

[Js1 85337]

I pretty just much just get stoned and watch it. Makes it more bearable for now. 

Where my monsters 

[Helobious 9454]

Well that was a pretty crazy ending to that episode

[Texzilla58 4736]

I cheered when Mae met her fate then realized it’s both the end but just another twist. Bill Randa’s son should have been given a vasectomy at birth. Spawning these two shitballs is a high crime against the earth.

[Helobious 9454]

I think Wyatt Russell is outshining his dad in this show. Or maybe his character is just written better. 

[Texzilla58 4736]

Wyatt gets to act with adults with a more interesting story line. Kurt has a bunch of shitty kids with bad lines deserving of some snake Pliskin action.

I’m wondering if Dr Keiko is alive beyond the portal. She might be a hot 90 year old too. She and Shaw can hook back up.

Who says time passes the same beyond the portal. She might be a hot 30ish year old still.

If anyone can pull off the grandmother/granddaughter threesome, it's Kurt Russell.

That’s part of the joke on Shaw as he is in his 90’s but looks like he’s in his early 70’s. It’s been mentioned a couple times. He finally referred it to “an incident”. So maybe she looks like she did when she was lost.

[kingkoopa6 8350]

Yea. She def alive  like jumanji. 
 

but hopefully a less hairy Alan.  

 

so Hiroshi ain’t any of the dudes baby? She was fuckin some imperial general

@immamac was right, this place is full of olds.

[Js1 85337]

Well I certainly hope they don’t cast a Malaysian actress to play an older Japanese woman.

Hiroshi is Bill Randa’s stepson. Keiko is his mother. I wasn’t aware she had a kid when she met Shaw and Bill. I don’t recall her mentioning it in any of her scenes.

The timelines are screwy. If Hiroshi was born in 52 then he’d be in his 60’s in the present day scenes and he looks late 40’s.

[Helobious 9454]

This was one of the better episodes of the series so far, crazy ending. Series finale next week. 

[Helobious 9454]

I actually think the guy playing Kentaro is underrated. He really shines when he can speak in Japanese

He’s the best of the “kids,” by far 

[Telegraph_it 3357]

This show is good adjacent. Hopefully the season finale makes watching worthwhile. 

[kingkoopa6 8350]

Holy shit! Sexy ass Robin Hood to the rescue !

[Pato del Muerto 52498]

And now they will be on screen together. A gilf like no other

That’s like saying he’s dogshit vs the pig shit the other two.

They could go for it and cement themselves as one of the most memorable/fucked up shows of all time. Sadly it’s unlikely to happen and we’ll be stuck with the forced Cate-Mae love angle.

I never said where the bar was. It’s pretty low. 

[Texzilla58 4736]

The writers are terrible especially these kids. Mae on finding herself in an another world immediately just starts bitching at Shaw. Hiroshi is a dick as well with his abandonment issues but he does the same to his kids. Obvious we’re being taken to a cliffhanger with one ep left and who knows if this is coming back.

[Post Oak 20213]

After the first couple of episodes I see no need for Mae.  She's unnecessary and a drag on the story.

Her story ties in to Godzilla vs Kong later, I just think it’s too detailed and too long a ride to get there

[kingkoopa6 8350]

Kentaro mom was the nurse that young Shaw tried to stab Right. ?

[kevwun 15788]

yep.

[Texzilla58 4736]

Yep. No Shaw using her as a hostage then no kentaro.

[Nivek 16930]

The biggest issue with shows like this is they cut cgi/puppet costs for cheaper dialog which drags out the story, introduces unnecessary characters and their background/issues, and spends too little time on the interesting components and ultimately the tension drags on far too long and becomes a boring.

Just like how a pause can be important in the speech, too long and you lose the audience.

I have a feeling the show runners were hardcore fans of the walking dead series and decided that the story needed more attention on the farm/prison.

[Helobious 9454]

I believe the finale is going to have the Godzilla vs Ion Dragon fight, here’s to hoping it’s a kickass scene. 

[ChickenSandwich 9836]

Spoiler

Let’s kill off the best character. 
 

Monarch?  Who needs them?  There like 5 competitors doing the same thing  

Out

[Js1 85337]

This is the Monsterverse. I don’t believe he’s dead 

[Helobious 9454]

I didn’t hate the finale. It should definitely be getting a second season, it never fell below 2nd most popular show on Apple TV for its entire run and was usually the 1st. 
 

Spoiler

So at the end they end up in 2017, which is 2 years before the events of Godzilla KOTM. I kind of wish they had caught up to GvK or at least right before it.
