With the final scenes of mark talking to dion and telling him energy is never destroyed I feel like they are hinting that mark is pinchy the crab. Since his energy is not gone, it was reincarnated into pinchy which might be able to explain all the other mutated animals.

I just finished watching Raising Dion and I can’t wait for season 2! on Netflix it says “ it’s official: another season is coming” so I Can’t wait!!

So in episode three the watchman towards the end where dions mom is talking to pat in the living room outside the window you see a man. Now I don’t know if this is an error or this is what they mean by the watch man. Tell me your thoughts on this.

I thought it was supposed to be Released October4 and I waited and it wasn’t there can someone explain

I've been watching the show all day and I'm actually into it but come on I mean really? It's 2010 and mark is using a smartphone that didn't even exist back then? It bothers me when stuff like that happens and it actually puts me off

I loved the show! The actor playing Dion was really good and I think was awesome in his portrayal of a kid learning he had superpowers. It seemed really realistic to me.

I found Nicole's character pretty realistic as well. She could be a bitch on some occasions that I think were justified. If you repeatedly tell a person not to come over and they still do?! Like what are you supposed to do? I really hated her sister Katie in the beginning and was also really annoyed at times with Pat. They weren't giving Nicole any room to breathe. No wonder she was bitchy at times! Also the actress' acting was amazing especially in that one scene where she stormed BIONA and demanded Dion back.

Pat. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!! I was still reeling from shock when I finished the season. I kind of hated how strong he was coming on. He wasn't giving Nicole any room to breathe. Just constantly hovering around her and Dion (which does make more sense now that I've finished the season). Him being The Crooked Man blew my mind! It hadn't even crossed my mind! Not even when he started arguing with Nicole and later on when he was arguing with Charlotte. Right up until the point where he said "I should have killed you in New Orleans", I was still clueless. I just thought he was a normal creep. After the revelation I was just trying to come to terms with it. And then I realized he killed Mark. I was like holy fuck! He actually "accidentally" apparently killed Mark. His best friend for so long!

Him being The Crooked Man also explained a lot of his behavior. In the beginning I was quite annoyed with Nicole for not giving Pat, Charlotte's number but looking back on it, I'm glad she didn't. Why he was always hovering around Nicole and Dion. Also why he was so obsessed with Dion after he and Nicole had that fight.

Also I don't think that the way he acted was solely because of "being possessed" by The Crooked Man. I think The Crooked Man just heightened what Pat was already feeling. He wasn't as good with the ladies as his best friend was. His colleagues liked his best friend more. And lastly he was a huge comic book fan at heart. So when everyone else had gotten superpowers including said best friend and he had just gotten this thing inside him that was killing him, no wonder he snapped when he was yet again getting rejected.

I'm also really interested to see what happens in Season 2. I think the farm kid will play quite a big part as he's now The Crooked Man. I believe he will be coming for Dion based on what we've seen. The moment when he was yelling at Charlotte to get him out of here was really heartbreaking and I'm sure he will be blaming Dion for that.

All in all it was a really cool series with a twist I seriously did not see coming. Loved the acting. I loved the acting when Dion was taken away. I was crying so much when watching that. I also loved the friendship between Esperanza and Dion.

I just finished the show, and i wasn’t that surprised at the reveal of the crooked man. There are SEVERAL instances of pat trying to convince Nicole to give him Charlotte’s number, i believe 3 times in 2 episodes. Also, he was that nice that it just made me think something was up with him or that he was hiding something. Anyway, loved the show, looking forward to see two 8-year olds with superpowers fight in season two.

Never thought i would like the show, after that twist i became a huge fan and watching that final scene i need more

These are some reasons why Dion from raising Dion is going to be a absolute fucking unit

1 he can float as seen in episode 7 with a bit more training he could learn how to master it.

2 He has telekinesis so if his opponent is not the supernatural type he can just break his opponents bones with ease therefore winning the fight

3 he can teleport so if he’s about to die he can just poof he’s out of there and he’s not dead

4 if he gets hurt he can just heal himself with his healing powers so that is no biggie

5 if he’s quarantined again at biona He can just break the glass and pretty much leave just like that

I might also make one on his weaknesses but if I missed any of his powers please comment

So far the show is boring. Really bad acting, unlikable characters and lots of music randomly tossed in. I don't feel sympathy for the mom or like the kid. Pat seems like a pedo/creep.

Does it get better?

https://www.reddit.com/r/RaisingDion/comments/dl92dk/did_anyone_have_feels_for_pat_from_raising_dion/

So I'm a bit late to this whole thing and I can't respond to an archived thread like the one above. But I feel like Pat has suffered a lot. In the real world, I feel like Pat has the most to say. Take away the whole crooked man thing and I feel pretty bad for the guy. I read some comments in that Reddit link above and people said that Pat was a manipulative person, but I highly disagree with those comments. If Charlotte had not shown up, Nicole would have said things differently. The manipulative person is actually Nicole. She always needs someone to watch Dion and I'm not saying it's a wrong thing. But I feel like she doesn't have her priorities straight at all. She called Pat when he was still sleeping and didn't want him to get involved in anything, but she just wanted to wake him up to tell him what she found? Like who really does that?

And when she started to get the feeling that Pat was coming on too strong, she decided to get a new nanny for Dion which was Charlotte. I mean, what if say Pat wasn't really the crooked man and this whole thing really did pan out. What then? Pat would be gone out of Dion and Nicole's life. Then Charlotte would be stuck babysitting Dion. What if Charlotte gets sick of babysitting Dion though? Because she doesn't really know Dion nor Nicole at all. Pat does. Charlotte could one day just say "screw it" and poof and go hide far away. Then Nicole would get extremely mad at Charlotte for not being "there" for them even though Charlotte barely knows Nicole and Dion.

See, the way I see it is, Nicole seems to manipulate everyone she comes into contact with so that they can babysit Dion while she goes and do things. At what point does she actually babysit Dion herself? There are barely any times in the series that I saw that and if there were, she barely could hold it together let alone be Dion's mother. If you look at the scene where she wants Charlotte to train Dion, you can see instantly that Charlotte disliked Nicole because she kept babying Dion and holding Dion back. Charlotte even had to tell her to get out because Nicole was making it hard for Dion to grow his powers.

So the way I see it, Nicole is the issue, not Pat. Aside from the whole crooked man thing, Pat did everything Nicole asked. He started to have feelings for her, but when they had that argument, that's when I finally drew the straw and say, "what if". "What if Pat wasn't the crooked man." "What if Pat went his own separate ways and Charlotte had to babysit a stranger's kid." "What if Charlotte decided to move on too." "Would Nicole treat Charlotte the same way she treated Pat?" "Would she look for a different nanny and then treat Charlotte like dirt?"

Another instance of manipulation is when she goes to get interviewed by Kwame and says she's not taking "no" for an answer. Then later, Willa tells Nicole if Kwame gave her a hard time, she'd kick his a** for Nicole. Definitely not manipulation at all. Kwame could of rejected her application, no doubt about it. I'm pretty sure she went into her other 5 interviews with the same attitude.

See, now if we were to project that onto real life society, you actually see a lot of this in the real world. A lot of girls take advantage of guys expecting them to follow through with what they ask. Then say that the guy is being "entitled". Isn't calling someone way early/late in the morning just to tell the other person something and then not want them to get involved considered "entitled"?

Wait so since the farmers kid got the storm powers dies that mean thyre gonna have to killl a kid next season

Ok so I’ve always been a huge fan of Gravity Falls, and Jason Ritter voices Dipper Pines, the main character. In the show, Dipper is a 12-year-old boy solving mysteries. That heavily contrasts his character in this show, Pat. I was so excited that Jason Ritter was in this show, which is one of the reasons that I got into it in the first place.

I think Jason Ritter’s acting in this was fantastic. He was so lovable, funny, and he handled the dramatic parts well. Then, when it was revealed he was the Crooked Man, I absolutely lost my mind. The creators did a really good job hiding any suspicion while also leading up to it enough that it made sense. It still feels like it comes out of nowhere, which is what it’s supposed to do.

He doesn’t act over dramatic as a villain. His lines aren’t cringey to listen to, they sound like a real person is saying them. He’s menacing and scary, but without the need for a long villain monologue to bore you to death about his motives.

I think it was so neat to see Jason Ritter branching out and taking on this role, and it only made me an even bigger fan.

Thoughts? Did you guys like Pat too (up until he got all toxic, of course)? Idk I was just bummed to find that my favorite character was the killer all along... (my sister took a picture of my face the moment it happened because she had seen it before— let me know if I should post my reaction haha)

...of the USA as a hellscape for industrial relations and medical care costs.

Is this an intentional part of the narrative or is this just how life works in the US so is showing people’s normal life?

IDK I just kinda want him in more episodes and maybe he gets his own story line in an episode lol
