The Acolyte
Re: The Acolyte
Just finished the show. It wasn't my favorite but was not the horrible show some people made it out to be online.

Re: The Acolyte
My big problem is I don't like how they had Mae OSHA end up on the same side.

And it's officially dead, and I do think that for all the shows many flaws that's not the ideal outcome as I think there was some potential for improvement in a s2.

Re: The Acolyte
I liked it but they massively overspent on it so not surprised. Spending 180 million on a series that doesn't air anywhere and only appears on their own unpopular streaming platform was madness.

I think they thought joining the side of the Space Nazis was a lot more sympathetic than they thought.Thebestoftherest wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2024 1:49 pm My big problem is I don't like how they had Mae OSHA end up on the same side.
What happened to heroes choosing the right thing?

Re: The Acolyte
Was OSHA meant to be sympathetic? I saw it as a villain origin story more than anything.CharlesPhipps wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 11:36 amI think they thought joining the side of the Space Nazis was a lot more sympathetic than they thought.Thebestoftherest wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2024 1:49 pm My big problem is I don't like how they had Mae OSHA end up on the same side.

There were heroes in the story, they did choose the right thing, and they died on Khofar.

I mean, I don't disagree but that means I didn't see a reason for Season Two.

I think there won't be all this talk about it being cancelled.

Re: The Acolyte
For me what killed the show was it was so expensive, and every clip I see is like... yeah this doesn't track. As a financial person (my job) I'd LOVE to see where the money went.
Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.
