Yeah, some weird conspiracy with shady goings-on would've been cooler in my opinion. This is the same issue I had with Fahrenheit. Could've been so cool, aaand it goes all coo-coo. Oh, well...
PS: In a way, the smoke monster in Lost makes slightly more sense, considering that world is purgatory or something :p

Hey, "purgatory", "dream" and "he/she was in a coma" are the worst excuses ever made for not bothering to finish a movie or series in a proper way. xD

Just imagine if after all these seasons of Game of Thrones they decided to go with a "they were all dead, it's purgatory" kind of ending.

I guess they could have used something like that for Life is Strange (the dream or coma example). It's not all bad then :)

Oh, don't get me wrong, that Lost ending was atrocious. I'm just saying that it gives some sense to weird monsters. It's another case where I would've liked it explained by whatever that community was experimenting or whatever, led to. The last few episodes were total trash, if you ask me.

You said it. It was a major disappointment, clearly they didn't have anything explained when they threw stuff around for the first two awesome seasons.

Episode 5 of Life is Strange also had its share of filler.

We'll definitely discuss this further if I find out that the final episode of Before the Storm didn't add anything new to the series. I'm getting ready to rage :)

There's room for filler content in my book, to flesh out characters or give background and whatnot. But it should be sparse, and imo, Ep5 was pretty much all filler. I liked the rest of the series, but that last one ... it was just like bad anime. 80% of the episode was recounting what happened before, and what was left was a shallow choice that felt in another universe.

I don't have the second season, but I've seen let's plays, and it's just too cringey for me. Hopefully you enjoy it :)

I'm enjoying it... in a "wait for it... wait for it..." kind of way. I'm getting tired of waiting for the big reveal, if there's any.

Lol, well, maybe there's something to it, I guess :)
Hopefully it's not a "wait for it... wait for it... aaaaaaaaaand it anticlimactic gibberish" kind of way :p
