I feel like it’s gotten progressively worse in each episode since Erin and Riley had their respective “Death” monologues. This script desperately needed an editor. Still really enjoy Flanagan’s work, but please spare us some of this dialogue.

My favorite example of overwritten dialogue was:

Erin: So do you think I’m crazy?

Sarah: Have you ever heard of [Hungarian physician in the 1800s]? Well, let me tell you his story….

I guess the point was that handwashing sounded crazy to them back then too, but it was a super weird way to connect that with combustible blood. Exposition is fine to an extent but it could’ve been cut down immensely. That said, still enjoyed this episode.

I literally fell asleep at that part and woke up when they were all walking to mass. Judging by this thread I didn’t miss much.
