The tension in this episode was thick. You honestly did not know whether or not something was going to go seriously sideways for Tic, Leti, and George. I could feel rage bubbling inside me every time one of those racist CAC's did something dirty.


But.
Our group wasn't soft
They were driving the get away but they bust their guns too. And... Was getting ready to do the same to the sheriff if they didn't make it across those tracks

With the way things are in America right now, I think a lot of us were watching these scenes and thinking that some shit like this happening in 2020 is not far fetched at all.

Who's the real monsters of this episode?

The vampire or the dude changing into a vampire with half of his shoulder eaten still holding a shotgun cause you can't trust black people?

First episode was brilliant. I see what Misha Green and Jordan Peele are doing with this one and I dig it. The monsters are allegory of the racism black people face, the monsters also double by serving as interesting characters the lend intrigue to the story as well.

The genre mixing is exactly what needs to be out here right now for black characters. It’s how I’ve been writing these last few years.

Man u too smart to be slow on the take on this one. Obvious the lady in the rolls is protecting him. They flipped that car. They showed the flip on purpose. The series is based on Lovecraft so it's gonna be some supernatural shit goin on.

Dude is the father of modern horror. All the shit he wrote/channeled he gave away by making it copyright free. So all the modern horror writers like Stephen King, etc all admit to borrowing heavily from his work.

I know they have to put gay shit in everything nowadays so....Just hopin the lead don't wind up being gay.

Show is dope as fuck. Gonna watch again tonite. I don't get how Letitia wound up goin on the road trip with them tho. I missed that part.
I hope they concentrate on showing a strong black family without interjecting unnecessary faggotry.

Rewatching it now.

Denmark Vesey - Leader of a slave revolt in 1822

If y'all would be so kind, add little easter eggs when you find them

At 25:15, The Count of Monte Cristo written by a black man Alexandre Dumas. Inside is a picture of his mother (the gorgeous Erica Tazel), his father and a young Tic

You're right dawg

I believe she is with them because her sister didn't really want her there in Chicago and the sister is living in a boarding room herself so she was catching a ride with them to her brother's house. But cut to the scene that night and she is arguing with her brother so she couldn't stay there neither. Lightskin problems.

shit is dope as fuck so far.. knowing what I KNOW about REAL history, and how

after a lynching they would eat the body parts...

Nat Turners whole body was consumed and even made into an elixir, his body fat was used to make soap.

thats some deep sick twisted demonic OBSESSSION who the fuck would do that to someone they felt was inferior.

you do that to someone you want to be like... fuckin making soap out of human body fat...

see when you know shit like that...

and the fact the beasts cant take sunlight..... hmm what other creatures do you know on this planet that cant take sunlight.....???


Im just hoping hbo doesnt fuck it up with faggotry... suits at hbo love fuckin up shit with faggotry...

first episode was dope as fuck loved the build up to the action... it did not dissappoint...

In plain sight. When they pulled over to the side of the road before the sheriff pulled up behind them, Atticus joked around about the noise he and Letitia heard in the woods. Atticus describes the beasts in the woods exactly as they eventually turned out to be.... i wonder if he's got some types of "powers" or is a visionary in some respects. IMO, every clue or comment matters on this show.

that opening sequence...

It was magical

the transition from Saving private Ryan to damn near Invasion form Mars meets John Carter meets 50 era sci fi schlock the seamless mashing of genres

I REALLY was AWED by that.

what did you think?
I was like

And to top it off - Cthullu gettin' his wig split by Jackie Robinson?

That was a "FUCK YOU" to Lovecraft to beyond the grave, and wait, that was supposed to be the Red Princess from John Carter? Yeah, that was a "Fuck you" to Burroughs too :roflmao:

Before sunset...the racist cacs were the monsters
And after. From the cross burnings, to snatching Black men out of the house in the dead of night and hanging them, to flat out barring the doors and burning houses down with the Black people inside

CACs who did that shit are still alive. Those who watched and cheered are still alive, too.

The monsters he was describing were from Lovecraft's books that he read. Just turns out they were real.lol

Listen. You know how much of a racist dishrag you have to be to see your fellow cops ripped apart by monsters but you STILL view the black people as the threat?????

They went over it a few times. When they were trying to figure out where the father is.
Talked about Salem, witch hunters, creatures in the woods
They're into reading and they're into sc-fi and they're into the occult.
All of them.
It just happened to be true

He came in half eaten and held a gun to them.

He then started turning into a vampire next to the other sheriff's eyes - they screaming at him to shoot the person turning into a vampire and the sheriff FROZE - unable to decide who was a bigger threat to his life. The person morphing into another creature or the 2 unarmed black people.

The sheriff and deputies are local boys, right? How come they don’t know about not going into those woods?

It seems they just never go out there

and also since its a sundown town I don;t think they would be out there

and even though they might have known its MONSTERS?

could just be wild animals and they don;t go out there

also it seems the monsters are somehow connected to the family so maybe they were not THAT active before the black folk got there?

Right.

There was a message in that scene I don’t think white people picked up on.

Your own bigotry and racism will eventually consume you too. In this case literally.

We checked it out on my lunch break. This shit is really good. A lot of intrigued, easter eggs, and nods. HBO just cannot help themselves, I can just see one of their faggity ass producers insisting on a gay blow job in the alley scene. :smh: If they can eliminate or keep the fags shit to the absolute bare minimum they have another winner on deck.

I didnt read the books, but I just thought that was so irrelevant. It's like there's some gay committee out there that directors and producers have to go thru in order to get shit made. Like what would happen if that scene was not included?
