Pablo Escobar was a character who certainly took a lot of Wagner Moura, and he was amazing. He deserves recognition and I'm hoping he'll be nominated for an Emmy next year, to say the least.
One of the most emblematic episodes of Game of Thrones. Peter Dinklage absurdly flawless in each of the words he said during the last scene. You really are capable of feeling Tyrion’s disappointment and hatred.
The scorn and cruelty of Tywin's words to Tyrion are impressive. Tyrion is the only worthy person within that family, everyone else is below him. He deserved better.
“Anyone can be killed.”
Arya and Tywin are two complex and very interesting characters.
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
It's so irritating the pleasure that Stannis, his wife and Melisandre show in front of people being burned alive. Jon Snow did the right thing under the circumstances. Despite the friction, Mance didn't deserve to die in agony.
Tyrion’s pain when he killed Shae... I hated her. He really fell in love, she didn’t. Tywin’s death is also among the most iconic moments of this show. Not only for the dialogue that culminates in the arrows, which for me is absolutely fantastic, but for the context of the situation: the all-powerful, noble, wealthy Tywin Lannister murdered in a toilet.
Brienne’s fight with the Hound was so brutal and violent. An interesting curiosity about Arya: in seasons 2, 3 and 4, her last line in the last episode was “Valar Morghulis”.
Best season of the series so far.
For a second, Sansa thought she’d be safe. Just for a second. Lysa is completely crazy, and this episode makes it clear that Baelish really is an untrustworthy person. He’s very intelligent and strategist. Therefore, extremely dangerous. Sansa must not trust him.
Arya will be upset when she finds out that Joffrey is dead and she wasn’t the one who killed him.
I really wish Bran had spoken to Jon...
“Don’t trust anybody. Life is safer that way.”
I hate Joffrey with all my strength. But his scenes are always incredible, precisely because the script and the actor can easily evoke the feeling of revolt, frustration and disgust for the character’s attitudes.
Carlos' behavior in this episode is ABSURD. He attacked Gaby in a brutal way and used physical violence to get her to sign the document. Asshole!
Susan breaking the poor manicurist's nose, LMAO!
“I’m not... I’m not gay.”
This was just... PRICELESS.
Fairy Godmother singing while Shrek attacks and invades the Far Far Away palace with the Giant Cookie is one of the best scenes in history and I have said.
These GOT cliffhangers always take my breath away. And for me it is very satisfying to see that smile disappear from Lysa’s annoying face before flying out of the Moon Door.
Highlight for Tyrion and Oberyn’s dialogue. Cersei has been monstrous since she was a child. This woman is despicable. Who knew Oberyn would have the perfect opportunity to take his revenge right now. Iconic is the moment when he declares that he’ll be Tyrion’s champion.
Jaime’s narrative arc is really impressive. The most curious thing is that we don’t really know why we are empathizing with him. The important thing is that this period that Jaime spent with Brienne was enough to make him evolve as a human being, and the dynamic between them is special.
Rex was murdered by George. And he died believing that Bree was responsible. And he understood that he deserved to die. Damn... This is so frustrating. It's already a major tragedy, there's this whole murder thing, and the worst thing is that Bree has no idea about it. I can't contain my tears when she "breaks" at the table. This scene never loses its impact for me, no matter how many times I watch this episode.
The solving Mary Alice's mystery is so shocking and heavy. An extreme situation that exposes that we never really get to know a person, no matter how close they are. After all, who would've thought that she would've been able to buy a child and kill the birth mother in the past? Besides being cold enough to dismember the woman's body and bury her under the pool...
Zach is CRAZY. He really needs psychological treatment.
Joffrey and Cersei are the same. But it was so satisfying to see her slapping him in the face. And he is so sadistic that even his own mother was afraid of being killed. He had babies killed in King's Landing. BABIES. Poor Sansa having to live among these venomous snakes.
Sexy. Perceptive. Strong. Beautiful. One of a kind.
Andrew seems to enjoy being mean and cruel. And it's no use for him to say that all this anger he feels comes from Bree's reaction to his homosexuality, because they haven't gotten along since the Pilot. He's almost a psychopath, he seems to like to see his mother suffer and to cause her suffering. I can't stand him saying he's going to report her for killing George! He has no morals to do that since he ran over and left Mama Solis lying in the middle of the street to die. That day, he came home crying, asking “Mommy” for help, right?
Andrew being an asshole doesn't excuse how disappointing it is to see Bree being homophobic. I hope she evolves, if Andrew allows it... After all, with what he intends and the things he says...
Bree, a muse. A complete queen. I love this opening scene so much, the decision she makes to push George away for good and leave her alone by being a good hostess for the guests. Picking up a shotgun and shooting straight into the speaker is not for everyone! And damn, thank God she visited Dr. Goldfine and thank God he mentioned that the attacker was on a blue bike. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called the police and this evidence wouldn't have been found. And George would keep chasing her until who knew when, and how it would end too...
It's disturbing when she hears from the investigator that George killed Rex, that they found evidence... Marcia Cross's expression in the elevator is heartbreaking - an impeccable performance, which shows the character's pain when realizing that the cause of the Van De Kamp family tragedy was by her side (he had even become her fiancé) the entire time. As for George, I have no words for this plan he came up with to try to manipulate her. Taking pills and demanding that she stay by his side to face the police. FUCK, he's so fucked up! He even had the courage to say that “he did everything for her, because she wanted to”, just to make her worse.
Bree's decision, on the other hand, is controversial, and difficult... After all, failure to help is a crime, and she sat there for a long time until George was dead for good. She was very cold-blooded. But it's understandable. He destroyed part of her life, took the love out of her life... Anyway, I just think he deserved to suffer more! That was very easy, very “fast” considering everything he did. Go stalker people in hell now, go!!!
I'm very sorry about what happens at the Van de Kamp house. The confrontation between Bree and Rex, his heart attack, and her negligence in helping him... And we have George to blame. He's so disgusting. I don't understand how Bree doesn't realize how manipulative and a liar this guy is.
Lynette and Tom must go to war now. She interfered in the worst ways in this matter of his work.
Lynette's storyline with Karen is so reflective and touching. I like this discussion about loneliness and how we're not made to deal with it.
I'm sorry about Bree's homophobic behavior. I hope she accepts her son as he is, at some point. And I hope Andrew is also able to evolve, he's a very disturbed and angry kid.
Andrew is an asshole. How dare he spit in Bree's face?
I love Susan, but she needs to mature. She's made a fuss about Mike's past, hasn't been willing to listen to him, and now doesn't even bother to read the letter.
I just love the dynamic between Susan and Edie in this episode. They are fun together and it was nice to see Edie making that "sacrifice" to get away with breaking into Paul's house.
“For God's sake, Helen! This is for charity!”
Susan getting beaten up is unfair, but it's SO priceless.
Bree throwing Andrew's pee on Rex: SHE IS THE MOMENT.
“Do you know how bored I was today? I came this close to actually cleaning the house.”
Another emblematic episode. I am fascinated with the details of this battle of the Wall. Incredible soundtrack. Everything worked perfectly.
I'm sorry about Pyp. He didn't have much importance, but I liked him. And I'm sorry for Ygritte... She was living in conflict. If she had no feelings for Jon Snow, perhaps she wouldn't have died there.
I want Joffrey Baratheon’s killer to be found so that this person receives all the glory and admiration of an entire nation.
“My real father lost his head at King’s Landing. I made a choice... and I chose wrong. And now I’ve burned everything down.”
This is where I start feeling really sorry for Theon.
The final scene with Daenerys Targaryen is so imposing! One of my favorite moments in the entire series. She really is the fucking queen.
I'm just saying you only get one life. There's no God, no rules, no judgments, except for those you accept or create for yourself. And once it's over, it's over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever. So why not be happy while you're here. Really. Why not?
Gaby’s new love interest is insanely gorgeous. She looked at him like a fool on the first date, represented all of us. I think this plot is great, look how far Gaby is able to go down to get what she wants, man? She provoked a fight between two friends, who saw each other as “sisters”, just to be able to date the guy! She even gets kids out of the way to get exactly what she wants. And Vern is GREAT, a great addition in these last few episodes. He always has the best reactions to Gaby’s craziness.
No surprises in Mike’s arrest. He was too dumb with the toolbox thing. And I feel sorry for him for questioning if he was really capable, since he doesn’t remember much, he just knows that he actually met Monique at some point in the past... And we have this Edie twist. It just proves once again that she did everything she did out of pure evil. She didn’t like Mike that much, she just felt sexual attraction, he was just a conquest. “We’re made for each other, we’re meant to be together,” and she jumps overboard as soon as things get really complicated. Again, back in season 1, Susan did a lot of investigating until she found out the whole story behind his conviction, in detail. And like, it was a condemnation. He really had killed a person, she needed to understand the reason behind it. This time he was arrested as a suspect only, but nothing is yet certain. In the end it’s a good thing Mike got that kick too, because even with his amnesia, the lack of interest he showed in Susan still makes me angry. He accepted Edie’s words, didn’t question anyone else, either in the hospital or at home. Carlos might as well have told the truth. Anyway...
I like Ian, but dude? He was way out of place in this episode. First, I thought his insistence on Susan to make homemade food was exaggerated, even after she stated that she is not good with meals. Then, for the outbreak he had when he arrived at the house and nothing was prepared. Susan had no obligation, let alone Bree, to cook food for anyone! And finally, the condition he gave to help Mike was pathetic. Mike lives on the street, if he gets out of jail for sure he will come home. There’s no way to keep Susan from seeing him and vice versa. And second, he KNOWS that Susan has feelings for Mike. As much as she denies it, as much as she says “it’s over”, NOBODY stops loving someone that quickly, especially when it’s something so intense that Ian himself witnessed it. He embarked on this head on, he knew the risks... I find it very annoying that he wants to impose things like that. I understand the fear of being hurt at the end of the day, but...
On the Susan and Bree clash: I think both are wrong. Bree for being happy about Mike’s arrest without knowing if he’s really guilty and on top of that judging him on account of his last conviction - which was for self-defense, by the way. And Susan for wanting Bree to reveal a personal mistrust to the police. Bree said she had doubts... But anyway, I don’t support her decision to take Orson back, especially when we find out he didn’t tell the whole truth like she had. He still has secrets that he hopes to keep hidden... Besides, so far the luggage he’s brought to her house has been filled with lies and omissions. He didn’t say he was married before. He didn’t say his wife disappeared. He didn’t say he knew the woman in the morgue. He didn’t say his mother was lucid. Just lies. Can you trust someone like that?
But there we have a major twist: Alma is very much alive. At least on this point then, Orson didn’t lie. He didn’t kill her. She actually disappeared because she wanted to. And she and Gloria are together on something. Now this story is starting to heat up.
To conclude: it is impressive how for a brief moment Art manages to deceive Lynette and also us, the public. The moment of the protest in front of the house, with him walking out and being hit by stones, his sister in cardiac arrest... And that look he gives Lynn when she approaches apologizing. Fuck! You really question if she wasn’t wrong – even though the audience saw exactly what she saw, those images weren’t “pride” images. But then there’s this last disgusting, heavy scene, where he celebrates the freedom he got from Rebecca’s death and assumes, between the lines, that Lynette saw him exactly as he is. It’s a terrifying moment. The Santa Claus analogy with the kids ahead ALWAYS strikes me. Good thing this plot didn’t last long... It’s too disturbing.
