Outer Range - Amazon Prime Series Starring Josh Brolin, Lili Taylor, Imogen Poots, Will Patton

You called it! I did not see that one coming, just as I completely missed Royal being temporally displaced from the 19th century.

I have to admit, I had similar thoughts as the series has progressed about her identity. But I'm confused as to why she wanted to kill him.

She claims to have amnesia of everything before age 9, and so if true, she may not remember that she's Amy. That makes her motivation the same as its been since she discovered the phenomenon, to control the hole and its potential.

I don't even think it's a hole anymore. That last remaining Tillerson son was digging in the dirt itself, when those buffalo emerged, & I'm pretty sure that Sheriff just mindessly wandered through a portal back to Royal's original time period. It's bigger than just the hole now imho
 
Oh right! I forgot about the amnesia thing.

Now that's something to ponder. I just figured see was seeing all the herds that were coming out of the holes.
 
Powered through it this weekend. Mediocre time-travel sci-fi with really good performances. Hard not to like anything Josh Brolin is in. I thought this was going to be the capper on this series. I was wrong. I think 3 seasons will be all she wrote, though. When it is all said and done, there will probably be a story that could have been told in 1.5-2 seasons. It's that kind of show.
 
Just got done with it now. Lots to unpack in the final episode. Definitely some timey-whimey multiverse stuff to unfold with the next season. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
 
Good to see this show is back. Yes, it is a slow burn, but it is much more of a character study--at least in the first season.
 
Just finished Season 2.

What. The. Fuck?

:lol:

Are we really required to use spoiler tags in a thread about the show?

:shrug:
 
I really don't want to use spoiler tags anymore, #1 because it's just hard to discuss that way, & #2 it seems like not many people in here are watching it anyhow :guffaw:

*So spoilers ahead*

I actually really like this show, especially the actors, & this new season, which did some very interesting twists with characters, really got me interested. It looks to get very messy next season, with Perry usurping his own timeline from season 1, & Wayne joining the time traveler ranks. I can't even be sure how much they are really altering the timeline(s), because you'd think Perry should've undone quite a bit in those last minutes of the finale, but seemingly didn't. However, that photo of Joy has me thinking they are affecting things, which leaves me to assume that at least Royal has been keeping silent, this whole time, about Perry showing up, back in the 90s.

What's got me really itching now, is that this season has now established that Wayne & Royal were roughly about the same age back in the 90s, but I can't be sure if we're just supposed to assume the actors' 16 year age difference is not applicable in the show, or if we can assume that young 90s Wayne will go into the hole, & similar to Joy, be stuck somewhere for over a decade before he comes back, at some point. He might be getting set up to "Biff" himself, by showing up to himself as an old man, & convincing himself to go in.
 
The Temporal Prime Directive Enforcement Agency is shitting kittens over this show. Lots of temporal causality paradoxes. Future-Perry replacing his past-dead self, which didn't happen before? :eek:

I wonder if they're going to clean all of this up next season or they just assume some hand-waving timey-wimey stuff just corrects itself-kind of thing.

Cool show, though. I really can't think of any one character that I truly dislike, even the "bad guys" of Wayne's family, who are all complete nut-jobs, except the mom, who's just pit-viper dangerous.
 
Future-Perry replacing his past-dead self, which didn't happen before? :eek:
One thing they have left open for now is what effect his being in the recent past will have on the more recent "prime" timeline. He's already significantly altered things by Wayne's 3rd son not dying

I also want to know if Royal has been holding onto the secret that Perry visited his much younger self this whole time. That dude has been very stingy about sharing WTF is going on with people, but that takes it even further
 
The one thing I noticed about Wayne, is that he seemed to "remember" Perry being a time traveler in the past, but only after he went there and knocked young Wayne on his ass with a single shot (a great scene). It's almost like the future (current?) characters are having memories selectively inserted into their minds as things happen in the past. This implies some potential intelligent design in all of this.

Any theories on the hole? Is there a Gaia Principle at play here or are they opting for a full-on intelligent design from God, which has been clearly implied. I suppose any higher-order Deus Ex Machina explanation at this point could simply explain everything.

Either that, or it's all just glitches in the Matrix... which also explains everything. All the weird shit in real life, too! :D
