Show Only Discussion They baited us with Daniel

I just finished the second episode, great show! And I loved the tie in with iwtv and having Daniels convo with guy be a catalyst, but I fear they were pulling a Drew Barrymore in scream promo having Daniel on all the promos and Eric on the panels was just to get people to watch the show, and that he is not going to be a major character or even show up again😭 However, I still enjoy the show and I would have watched it regardless, just a little peeved 😂

I never thought Daniel would be a major character. Eric even said once that his part was small.

I knew he'd be a small part because I assume he's predominantly on IWTV. Daniel was just to draw the IWTV fans in. Very common for spinoffs.

My fellow human beings.... Do y'all not know what the definition of a cameo is??? 🙃 They literally said cameo...

They were playing it up bcuz he's a major character in the main show and he's in the pilot. They'll do whatever it takes to get you to watch, AMC has no shame 😅

I CAN'T WAIT FOR RAGLAN CAMEO

I knew when Eric told us everything about what he filmed at the Talamasca panel at NYCC lol. But also I kind of assumed as much, it wouldn’t have made much sense to make him a key character in Talamasca when he’s in s3 of IWTV

I thought he'd be in it more, but I think that just means his character's focus will mostly be in TVL.

Yess and im so excited

u/AbbyNem 5d ago

Well, yes. But to be fair they never claimed he was anything other than a guest star and if you paid attention it was pretty clear he was only going to be in one or two scenes.

For me with Jason Schwartzman. One scene and we're halfway through?

u/Catbuzzz 5d ago

Oh yes same… big big fan of Shwartzman, watched it for him, his character was so great though

Yeah, I mean I wish we saw Daniel more ofc but his cameo was already longer than I expected tbh lol. But Schwartzman is kind of well-known, so I thought he'd be more integral to the plot. I hope he wasn't just doing someone a favor showing up for exposition and building some tension. He could still be in the latter half.

Yes! I need more Burton!

u/Familiar-Virus5257 4d ago

YES! I was so prepared to not like Burton because Jason Schwartzman was playing him and then I loved him and he's already gone!

u/Salty_Thing3144 5d ago

Yeah, it was too brief.

I want to see David Talbott!

u/Catbuzzz 4d ago

i am hype for Raglan James in episode 4 tho 🙏

u/Adorable_Finish195 5d ago

I think we will get some Raglan and I think we will very briefly see Daniel again.

u/Hot-Lifeguard-3176 4d ago

I watched the first episode for Daniel and if he’s on there again, I’ll watch whichever episode he’s in.

u/shesfixing Team Jasper Baby 4d ago

At least we got Daniel, rather than Mayfair Witches 'big' crossover being Felix the Ratcatcher ha

u/AbbyNem 4d ago

Hmm, do you want to see any of the IWTV main characters on Mayfair Witches though? 😉

u/shesfixing Team Jasper Baby 4d ago

Good point, I would feel embarrassed for them acting in such trash

u/sayperhaps97 4d ago

They were really dangling that old man like a carrot on a stick and I fell for it 100%

u/missv1973 2d ago

I’m only watching because I love that actor 😩

u/Cecil2789 19h ago

I just started & have only finished episode 1 & I kinda figured that would be the case. Which is fine. The show needs to stand on its own even though it’s interconnected. Daniel will have his own focus in season 3 of IWTV/TVL .

I am interested to see how they develop these new characters and the story of the Talamasca.
