We have arrived at the serial-killers convention, or Cereal Convention, as theyre calling it.
Good cover, guys no one will see through your incredible ruse.
Also, as we discussed in episode seven, the new American nightmare isnt getting serial-killed.
In the words of Carl Carlson, The dank!
The dank!The lack of yuck and/or dank is whats keeping this episode out of five-star territory.
Love that Fun Land was my first introduction to toxic Disney adults.
Unfortunately, there has been (Vortex-caused) earthquake damage to Lytas dream home.
But good (?)
news is shes more pregnant than ever.
Whether she wants to or not, Rose is destroying the Dreaming.
Lucienne was right, Dream was wrong, and hes actually changed enough to admit it.
As Gilbert says, it was almost an apology.
But as the next scene shows, Morpheus still has to work on his bedside manner.
Once again, Dreams inability to see people as people and not statistics really fucks him over.
Dont be saying shit like that, Dream.
Jed, resilient little runaway that he is, escapes his hotel room and goes exploring the hotel.
He just so happens to stumble upon the killing of thefauxBogeyman and flees into the arms of Fun Land.
Luckily, before Fun Land can play with Jed, Rose finds him.
The siblings reunion is almost cut short by Fun Land, only for a bigger monster to save them.
The Corinthian finally has met Rose, and … now what?
No, for real, what is his plan?
Is he going to try and manipulate her into taking down Dream?
Hubris is rising off this character like steam.
Looks like the next episode will have at least one arrogance-off between Dream and the nightmare he created.
Even a nightmare has to be telling the truth sometimes.
Morpheus, David fromSchitts Creek,and the Fonz one of these things is not like the others.
Most of the dialogue in this episode is either lifted verbatim from the comic or invented whole cloth.
Struck from the adaptation is the line implying that Disney covers up deaths on-property.
Someone didnt want to get sued by Bob Chapek, and it shows.
It helped create a folkloric every-story-is-true tone that this show misses.
