These flashbacks are nuts[merged]

[ForeverPluto]

. Given how Peter is now, I have to wonder if getting with Maxie and James wasn't part of some bigger plan. It's sad we never could have known the dynamic that would have been between Nathan and Peter but I feel like Peter would have been envious of Nathan's life. Nathan was the son Faison would have wanted. Nathan was also beloved by his family, friends and community. He had a noble profession. Peter despite trying to go legit, will never be any of those things.

Maxie aside, I think things might have been better storyline wise for Peter had Nathan lived. It could have set up the good brother-bad brother dynamic. But one thing I definitely saw from the flashbacks, there was something very forced about putting these two together. I have never felt they had real chemistry and the flashbacks for me seemed to prove it even more.

Yeah it was like a summary of their "love story"

[BoandNorafan]

The flashbacks are stupid. Just run out of episodes and show lame repeats.

[OLTLBoomer]

I saw more flashbacks than new material in the first five min. of the show.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Is it good for people at home on furlough to see past scenes to help them to re-orient to the show?
Or, will it drive viewers away?

I don't like Peter's one facial expression having azz, so the flashbacks felt like an eternity. I'm tired of him and Maxie is acting dumber than a box of rocks.

Exactly! I wanted them to redeem Peter at first, but now I think it is too late. He is bad, while pretending to be the man Maxie wants him to be. Anna's inability to see Peter for who/what he is also drives me nuts. I'm counting on Robert to get the goods on Peter.

Let’s have a flashback showing the births of all those kids. That would be better than some of these flashbacks

[slylett]

It's very annoying. I didn't like them the first time around. So showing these things to me twice is twice as unpleasant.

That Maxie/Peter flashback felt like it went on 15 minutes......

I think it legitimately was. It was mind numbing, I didn’t need to see a recap of Maxie’s long road to sheer stupidity

[Logan13]

They just reminded me how much of a snake Peter really is. I mean he has his brother's wife, he was partially responsible for his brother's death and he is framing his brother's mother so he can hold on to his brother's wife. Not to mention this guy is actually attending a party with Sam and her son who he also framed to keep his butt safe.

I don’t even remember some of the stuff from the flashbacks, which is good for reminding me. But I find myself only half paying attention to the show until the new parts grab my attention.

I literally just posted about the same thing.

What’s with all the Flashbacks the past couple of episodes? Are they trying to save the shows they have filmed or what. Because it’s so annoying to me. I would rather just see old episodes than have to watch new episodes full of flashbacks.

[Logan13]

I'm calling it flashback focus. It doesn't help that imo today's are particularly annoying. We'll probably see the pinata being busted on Tuesday at this rate.
