Dude got the Will Byers treatment.

Literally the same exact thing too: barfing up an entity relating to his prior capture, soon after his initial liberation, directly segueing into a later conflict

I knew a soon as he started getting sick what was about to happen.

Fr if he gets out of this alive, I honestly wouldn't blame him for hunting shapesmith down. Poor guy.

they honestly should've let the martians kill shapesmith. he's not a good person and does not deserve to be saved.

One plus is Rus never had a haircut as bad as Will Beyers.

Let's hope next season Will does away with that yee yee ass haircut.

Haha you're so right, he had that same look too where he just wants to go home and sleep in peace but shit keeps happening to him.

I think you mean, "directly sequiding into a later conflict."

u/thesagenibba Mar 22 '24

honestly not the biggest fan of this approach. showing the incredibly rough journey he has head, to rebuild his life, post a top 10 most traumatic experience ever, is much more interesting to me than return of the sequids, but one's on earth now... using the same guy as a host. it's just a bit played out

Same, the storyline for shapesmith, rus, and the sequids was good and had a fitting battle/conclusion. Not super interested in extending that any longer with so much more interesting stuff going on with the prominent characters.

Right? Is someone getting the Will treatment an absolute point in the Omniverse?
