1101 - Reptilicus - Spoiler Thread

Yeah. I said they were weird, but I ended up liking them. I sense they're going to make a bit more sense as we get to know the Mads and Moon 13 and those bone-antennae dudes.

And I loved, LOVED, the models and animations.  It's such a cool mixture of lo-fi and hi-fi.  Every set looks like something that you think you could make, but if you tried, you'd realize how much love and skill went into it.  The seams between the model world and the real world are tough to see.  Some of the hallway looks like it could be real life images mixed with the cardboard effects. I think it's perfect.

The breaks also probably  make it easier if the show does eventually get picked up by a network

[WhyDontTheyLook]

Loved the new episode.  I suspect after viewing the rest of the season, I'll tune in more to the voice differences.

Also, since Joel's running the show, Gizmonic Institute is back as well!  That was nice to see.

Didn't have any problems watching the episode via the VHX app on Roku, though on a SD television, all the backer names at the end were so tiny they were close to unreadable.  Guess that was the only way they could pack even a 14th of the list in without it going on forever, though.  Looking forward to Friday!

I also get the feeling that more is going on than just the show, just on the sattelite. I'm not sure if I missed something when Gypsy came in the theater to drop something off then pick it up later. Was it important what that was, or was it just an excuse to get her in the theater twice for her jokes? (Yeah, I know it was an excuse, but was there more too it in an in-universe sense?)

This question was asked during the Q&A, and Joel was kind of coy with the answer.  He said it's called 'the payload', and maybe it would be explained in season 12.  But I got the feeling that we'll have more information on it before the season ends.  They were very reluctant to answer any questions that would be answered by watching more episodes of the show. 

Joel also didn't seen too happy that Baron let it slip that the episodes were shot in a different order than they will be aired.  Well, not aired, but ordered.

So just a few hours till the rest of the series is available to backers, yeah?

[Pak-Man]

Should be. If they're going Midnight Pacific again, it'll be in an hour and a half.

[Pak-Man]

How should we keep spoilers under control, here? Should we use this thread for all spoilery discussion, or get a thread up for each episode?

I think, at the least, until it goes live on Netflix, we should keep everything past Episode 1 in spoiler tags, even here..

[Edward J Grug III]

There's only 14 eps. Let's give them all a thread, yeah?

Since the eps are all fresh, I think there will be lots of individual episode discussion.

[Pak-Man]

Cool. I gotta get to bed, so I'll leave it to whoever wants to set up the new threads. Just leave the episode titles out of the thread titles, since some people don't want to know that yet.

[Edward J Grug III]

Out of the titles of the threads, right? We can talk about the titles within the threads, since they are spoiler zones.

[Edward J Grug III]

I created the threads. I'll go back and add the movie posters to the first posts once I watch them and know what they are.

[Edward J Grug III]

Oh, and also, I just remembered another thing from the live chat that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.

Joel said they were working on a live show as well. I am guessing it will be filmed? He didn't say.

It'd be pretty fun if each season had it's run and then a live special.

[BathTub]

And we're off!

That's cool, but can we change the thread titles to the movie titles after a couple weeks/a month?
