#I almost feel like I should take the Molly Phillips cameo out of the series lol

[andy-the-8th]

OK this is a DCOM blog according to the title so I'm going to say it's worthwhile to post about So Weird on here

Watched the first season yesterday and spent the first few episodes in a perpetual state of WHAT?!? before finding the groove

Literally....everything exists. The aliens, the ghosts, bigfoot, immortals, everything.

And yet, no one seems to come around to the thought that this is unusual and characters maintain their skepticism throughout and it's hilarious

"honey I know we all concluded that we saw an alien crash, were traumatized to the point of amnesia and/or had our minds wiped save for literally painful images of gray aliens probing our brains, but don't you think claiming you saw a ghost is a little far fetched?"

the aforementioned alien episode, upon establishing that fact and setting up a suggestion of how to find the crash site....just ends. And is never mentioned again!

that was the part where I had to be like OK this is truly like the X-Files where the monster of the week is a paradigm-shifting horror or revelation and then we just roll right along like nothing happened and I kind of love it

IT GETS ACTUALLY SCARY sometimes, I'm only a few episodes into season 2 but like, the Will o' the Wisp episode was genuinely creepy

Which, regarding said episode, I spent the whole time impressed with Patrick Levis's comedic and creepy timing, like especially for a teen actor he did a good job pulling off making the demon possessing his usual character's body feel like a completely different character, and all the genre-bending trickster moments, I was just like

Anyway I'll probably post about this more later on but yeah season 1 was good
