I really hope not. It would be like that really stupid Now You See Me magician movie. The detective was the bad guy the whole time and he was chasing himself! :panic:
It would be better if it turned out it was Marty. :tea:
It would be better if it made sense and wasn't hokey.

I didn't until it was pointed out to me :oops:
You didn't notice that it's already been mentioned in this thread before either. I suspect ADHD... :tea:

That's if it really was one shot. I spotted three places which have possible edits. Though I'm not sure.

Yeah, I think it wasn't a true tracking shot, but edited so it seemed like one. Still, hard work to pull that off.

The nets says it was one shot though. The nets wouldn't lie.

I noticed a couple of minutes in. I rewatched it a couple of days later, and I have my fears that it wasn't a single take. Which, if true, is really shit, as it purports to be a single take.

We've still got to see what split the two apart. Maybe there's something in there that could implicate Marty. As it stands at the moment, he doesn't seem like a likely candidate. But in the world of TV and movies, that actually makes him a likely candidate.. ;)

Juts watched the opening episode (and thus not reading the above in case of spoilers!). Was intriguing and I have set the old Skybox to record the whole series starting Saturday. Where are you guys watching it out of curiosity? You obviously are watching later episodes.

downloading off the net. As usual, it probably isn't even available to watch legally here.

It's a HBO series. They're a few weeks ahead.
