I think they’re actually moving the plot forward pretty quickly; none of this has felt drawn out or lacking momentum to me. Lumon’s motivations are taking shape and seem to be pretty clearly telegraphed.
That said, the first two-thirds of episode 3 is the first time in the series I’ve felt the urge to look at a clock. Then the last third hit me like a shot of adrenaline.
I was also a little bored and maybe on the fence with the goats scene.
That seems to be a popular reaction.
I thought it was fascinating. But I'm also exactly who this show is designed for. I don't give a shit about explanations. Just keep giving me weird mysteries and human relationships.

yeah, im not sure why it bothers me so much when i love, lets say, Twin Peaks.
Maybe its because i kinda feel they are trying too much? with the Wes Andersonesque vibe and the weirdness....but its might be me.

It's not just you. I've talked to a lot of people (and listened to a lot of other chats online/pods/etc) that feel the same way you do.

maybe its because Lost or other like that kinda ruined that? not sure. Twin Peaks did it in a way it felt....sincere ..while other series dont.
Not saying this one is like that, but the goat scene in particular felt too much, almost a parody. It didnt help that Captain Phasma was there.
I dont like her.

Twin Peaks is a different animal all together. Can't compare it to anything else really. But I take your point. I'm not sure why I enjoy these kinds of shows so much. Maybe because I genuinely don't care about the answers.

I was on record as not wanting this twist to come true, it felt a little too easy, a la every single reveal in Westworld that so-and-so is actually a robot. But the way it was revealed was just sooooooooooo good. Fucking Team Irv forever.
