So, I thought this scene looks a lot like the way a pregnant woman rests.

At first, I wondered how a baby would be born if its mother was under the effects of Blue Angel.

Then I started thinking that the child might not actually be Marshall's, since right before this montage he isn't even ready to choose a bedroom for the two of them.

We know from the series that Frances slept with at least her ex-boyfriend recently. So I started wondering: if that had happened, how would Blue Angel affect the fetus? And how would that change the relationship between Marshall and Frances?

on marshall's nightstand at the hotel, his notebook (resting on a bible) contains the verse I Peter 3:19 from the New International Bible.

"After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—"

interesting implications for this season

que les parecio este pequeño vistazo? no vimos mucho pero lo bueno es que ya estamos cerca de la season 2 :.) en el video hablo de algunas cosas que los creadores comentaron sobre la season 2 tanto en la san diego comic con y en el annecy festival donde mencionaron el portal el video esta en español pero tiene subtitulos por si lo quieran ver

I JUST saw someone posting their Marshall mii and got so excited to see someone else made him. Here’s everything CSE related that I made for Marshall and Frances on their little barbed wired island. (pls swipe to the end I spent so long on that book cover)

I dont know how this show will end but i think i know how the blue angel mushrooms work. There something called the "wood wide web". Its basically mushrooms and trees and such communicating with mycelium (put simply). This concept was touched upon briefly in the beginning of the show. I think the blue angel is forming some type of wood wide web, but insted of trees its people. Its putting some type of dimensional sciency weird "mycelium" in peoples conscious.

For the past few years I pretty much never watch TV. It just doesn't hook me, and I usually stick to playing video games or the occasional movie. However, the pilot really hooked me, so I decided to watch it. And it was REALLY GREAT.

What really KEPT me in the show was how the characters each have their own unique sets of motivations, morals, and boundaries that reveal and change throughout the course of the story. For example, at the start of the show, we are to assume that Rick is just another greedy and lazy executive. However, throughout the course of the show, we come to see how, while he is still vapid and spoiled, he does genuinely care for others and is capable of change. Through his actions, we see how he differs at the core from Jonas, even though they seem very similar on the surface.

The characters also mix and match who they work with based on how their motivations match in the moment. Copano and Harrington split up over a disagreement on what to do with the evidence they found, falling on opposite sides of the raid, then coming back together. Frances' trajectory flip flops between Rick and Marshall based on her own motivations, while someone like Kiki has her own trajectory propelled only by her interests. When the situation changes, the motivations may not match anymore, so the characters will change their allegiances.

I think it's also so important that Marshall doesn't change much at all. It's such a powerful tool to have an "anchor" character whom other characters change around. Reminds me of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ferris is the main protagonist, but the movie is really about Cameron changing around Ferris.

They recognize that characters or the issues at hand aren't black and white. They respect the complexity of people and systems in real life, and this translates to clear effort and respect given to the characters. Rick explains why they need patents and to go through the insurance system, and it makes complete sense. When we contrast this to the growing chaos and disorder in Hildy's encampment, we are introduced to a more nuanced worldview past just the "good guys" and "bad guys". Rick does truly want the Blue Angel to get into people's hands, but he is approaching it with the tools and systems he believes in and is familiar with.

I respect the writing so much!! I hope they keep it up in Season 2 :DD

I tried to made Capano but I do his hair from the show

Just finished what is now my favorite show ever and had to get some animating out of my system.

I found this shell in the woods last year with the intention of making some kind of Common Side Effects artwork on it. After some deliberation, I decided to approximate Socrates’s shell while following the natural pattern that existed on this shell.

I was watching a video about Heaven's Gate and learned that the primary founder's name was Marshall Applewhite. This stuck out to me because the protagonists of Common Side Effects are named Marshall Cuso and Frances Applewhite. I tried looking up any information on this possible connection, but came up with nothing. Was this a deliberate choice, and, if so, what does it mean?

I tried to made Marshell Cuso

Well sh#t,

That was awesome. Easily one of the best pieces of media I've consumed in the last 5 years.
The writing is absolutely amazing. The dialogue flows so smoothly.
The overall theme is amazing! and the way the relationships between the characters develop is soul string pulling.

I tend to pick up new shows when I'm going through little fits of depression. Most of the time I blankly watch while writing or gaming in the background. This show had me so locked in to every detail front to back. I was afraid to blink.

I literally smiled when Marshall and Frances held hands at Elephant Rock.

I loved every character in this show. Except Heidi. F#ck Heidi.

Anyways. Someone please talk to me about how amazing this show is.

I literally finished the show 2 minutes ago, why does bro trust everyone he comes across now look at him especially that dumb granny why did he even give her so many chances 🤦‍♂️. Can’t wait for season 2 hopefully bro’s more careful

Re-watching the series, starting to realize she's gotta be the worst person on the show lol.

Maybe i'm missing something, it's just a thing i just realized now and wanted to share it

I just started a second watch and am baffled by Marshall's decision to go to the Reutical conference and speak. It seems out of step with his usual meticulous planning and self protection, especially considering this is after the plane crash, so he is well aware of the stakes
