Streaming Squid Game Discussion Thread - SPOILERS INSIDE

[Gasometer]

Well I am up to Ep 5 and it’s been good enough to be different from S1. I have scrolled thru this thread to avoid spoilers but I just wanted to wonder aloud here why McDonalds thought this was a good tie in and why Luna Park Sydney has a SG set up…like do any of their airheads actually watch SG?

The backstory was about her mother at the time of the Korean War and the abuse she suffered - then passing on to her daughter the need to be prepared for anything

Hopefully to stab her idiot son with

Spoiler: theory

yes. but surely upon entry the pinkys would check contestants for weapons etc

True, but no cents

Also the games were extremely lame this time. No tension at all.

Mingle was great.

I think the really tense games are still to come, just like S1 ramping up with Marbles and the Glass Bridge.

Watch the mingle game again. When the songs on watch thanos. I lost my shit

Genuinely lol'd at that scene.

Marbles in S1 changed the whole series for me.
From conditioning everyone to work together and look after those you are fond of, to now you're going to kill one another.

Done with the first ep.

Are people watching in Korean with subtitles or dubbed English?

I’ve settled on Korean, the dubbing sounded so jarring to me.

Always in Korean, it's such an expressive language. Tried going to dubbing in the season 1 scenes with the VIPs speaking in English and it was worse.

Is that where they joined arms and twirled around the pair of them Peter?

I have 1.5 eps to go

Still enjoying it; the games are just as intense; I want my faves to get through each game

Sure is gassy. I admit the first time I viewed it I missed it.

As sure as I typed that Peter I looked at TikTok there it was …and more and more and more

I was so worried for Grandma in that scene.

Spoiler

With the 1.5 episodes left I am fearing who will be left out of the little gang that have made it this far…surely they all can’t make it

The weakest part of the season has been the comedy capers on the Boat. Useless.
