John Hannah is great in this scene but special credit to the host that gradually goes from smug host, to confused, to petrified.
-
Just by the way he looks, he could have played Oppenheimer
-
One of my most favorite cold opens in a show. Love how you can see and feel the building tension in the room. From playful and joking to deadly serious and terror.
-
I love how realistically this was shot. Every bit of it felt like a real talk show chat. Well done. Not to mention terrifying as a pandemic.
-
"what if the world were to get slightly warmer" Oh shit
-
The amount of detail they put into this show is awesome. Opening the first episode with a scientist who fears that fungus could evolve and infect humans was brilliant. John Hannah gave a great performance here, even though it was a cameo.
-
Now, I believe that the first game would have been ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING,if they opened it with a similar segment like this
-
This scene. This one particular scene is what drew me to this show. The in depth and how the scientist explained how the cordycep worked in that world was truly terrifying. What also made this scene great is how everyones mood went from seeing this theory as a joke to a serious look in their faces of realization.
-
John Hannah is fantastic in this scene.
-
"What if, for instance, the world were to get slightly warmer?" Gave me a chill watching it for the first time.
-
Singlehandedly one of if not the most chilling cold open to a show ever.
-
All i hear in this interview is "O'Connell!" lol
-
One good out of this is that most(if not everyone) in that room were already old enough to have died before any of this happened by the shows events.
-
I was anxious about this show and then relaxed after this scene. What a fantastic opening.
-
That last part when he says “We lose.” Always gives me chills!
-
Honestly one of the greatest openers to a TV series ever. The casting, cinematography, pacing, and natural exposition are all so well done
-
Loved him in Spartacus
-
Was delighted to see John Hannah steal the show in the opening scene - remember him from way back in the mid-90's in Four Weddings and a Funeral, he gives a phenomenal speech at his lover's funeral in that movie, great actor.
-
“We lose” two words simple yet so scary
-
Johnathan really got his act together after all those mummy adventures
