cult

[certainthings]

Is anyone watching Cult? ... Someone must be watching Cult.

Please explain it to me. Use small words and shadow puppets, please.


+ There is a television show named Cult.
+ There are scenes on the show that we (the audience) that show scenes from their Cult.
+ But also scenes of the actors just being actors.
+In show Cult has some bat shit crazy followers.

And that's about all I understand.

Okay, I mean. I get that some sketchy, weird, bad, etc., things have happened to the fans of in show Cult.

And the one guy is looking for his brother.

But.

Are the actors of in show Cult involved at all? Does Billy know what's going on?

Tell me everything, please.

I'm watching. I'm not really sure what's going on. I'm not too sure I care.
...there was that bit where Billy seemed to be in the know, but then there was the bit with the girl involved in The Cult--and he didn't seem to know a damn thing. Um, I was kinda drunk by the time it came on last Friday--I kinda don't remember that much...

Also--are they mocking fandom? Are they saying we are *all* batshit crazy and prone to slavish devotion and homicide? Because you know what? I think that kind of behavior can be narrowed down to a mere fraction of fandom--even SPN and Sherlock fans.

Your thoughts are my thoughts and I was sober.

Ooh, I hadn't thought about that, but maybe in away they are?

...my confusion will probably drive me to watch a few more episodes--and my enjoyment of being creeped out by Robert Knepper.
but really---i should just let it go. I've got The Following--and I actually really LIKE that show.

and if it is about fandom, it's kind of a shitty view.
