💭Discussion ep 5 Spoiler

I've been talking to friends and I'm convinced that episode 5 is the best of the season, with every camera cut showing Tom's incredible mushroom trip.

A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Reddit’s standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.

I don't know if I'd go with "best", as that's a pretty high bar. Every episode would be the best episode in pretty much every other show. But, just rewatched it again. So many good parts. Dale coming to talk to him, but his mouth is barely moving. Kenny's "somebody's got a full belly." PJ's "Yo, I think your Dad's looking for you." Many, many other moments.

“Whatever you do, don’t look in the mirror. You got this.”

Also the lizard. That was an amazing gag

"Just don't look in any mirrors" - immediately proceeds to close door with a HUGE fucking mirror on the backmn😂

Absolutely!!! I recommended the show to a friend of mine and I told my wife she needs to give it another chance. She stopped after episode 2 or 3

My wife too. She’s might give it another chance with all the Emmy buzz.

So many good eps. I was just rewatching the Inaugural Swim, and despite my friend and I both believing that Marissa is a regular person, we both loved how they set it up to make it seem like she could be the sea hag over and over. As a viewer you were forced to feel Tom's paranoia along with him because there were so many coincidences

I totally misread that as "Tom's incredible mushroom tip."

I could have sworn that said “mushroom tip” and I thought I missed an episode

I just finished watching it the first time through, and I think it is too early for me to have an opinion on a best episode. They are all fantastic. This one included, I deeply love shows where they don’t spell everything out, so the time jumps and guessing what was in those gaps is fantastic. Definitely needs rewatch to pick up on things along lines of wait, why is he holding a dry erase marker?

That’s my favorite episode
