without a doubt the one black mirror episode that has deeply, genuinely, without a fucking doubt tore at my soul and disturbed me to the rawest
Holy fuck. I have goosebumps. Might be the best episode of TV this year. Fucking amazing. Honestly, I can't blame Tom for what he did, he's taken so much shit from everyone, including his own wife.
HATS OFF FOR DAVID TENNANT and his incredible performance, here and through the whole series.
I can't even begin to put into words here but the prosthetic and makeup division is not only good, it is groundbreaking. The bodies on the later stages of radiation poisoning were absolutely terrifying, it literally gave me chills in the spine, when it shows the firefighter and the wife inside the plastic.
THIS IS THE SHOW'S BEST EPISODE
the season was weak, but this and USS Callister are genuine GEMS, this build up perfectly, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and has such a perfect ending, devastating but somehow relieving.
"in this terrifying world, all we have is the connections that we make".
Is there a word for when you're relieved, happy and a bit sad, all at once?
For me, the best shows are the ones that leave you wanting more, and this will definitely be the case here. The story is finished in a satisfactory way but I also think that the side characters were so entertaining that their stories could have been told as well. At the same time I'm also relieved these stories weren't told since it's hard to keep it balanced in a way that it doesn't start to drag on for too long, meaning that the show gets to fade to black at its peak.
Thanks to everyone involved that made this happen - even Netflix, for listening to reason and not denying us a proper farewell.
I didn't like this episode very much. They definitely took things too far and I think this was a very bad first episode because it doesn't at all represent the rest of the show. Thankfully I had heard very good things about it so I kept watching and the rest is a million times better.
Claire Temple showing up was really awesome! Loved the mentions to her other 'special' friend and her interactions with Jess!
I have mapped every pore on Elizabeth Moss' face by now. Today she had a blackhead on the right side.
I think this is about cruelty, in a social way. About social revenge, and mostly criticizing the "eye for an eye" thing.
Overall this season is a slight step-down from the second, but whew that finale was the series' best. Brutal, funny, tragic, and almost unbearably suspenseful. Skarsgard's story of ancient Roman slaves is such a succinct summary of the Roy family arc. The finale even retroactively elevates the path that leads to it a bit, which is no small feat. Also, I don't care how impractical it is, Emmys for all the five Roys please.
I don't have an issue with lowkey bottle episodes, which this definitely was, but there were such flaws in this general setup. Why would they leave June, a woman who has repeatedly shown herself to be rebellious and against everything Gilead stands for, left unsupervised with ofMatthew and her unborn child? Children are surely the most precious thing to Gilead, so to have no-one in the room with June seemed like a contrivance to allow her to do the things she did this episode.
Also, on a fundamental level, I don't understand how (what looked like) a gunshot injury to ofMatthew's shoulder rendered her brain dead.
This show is definitely on a bit of a messy downward spiral of late, which is a shame. It feels meandering with no overarching narrative direction. It's lucky the production values and cast are so terrific. Hopefully things will turn around for the season's closing episodes.
I was on edge THE WHOLEEE EPISODE holy shit, I kept imagining myself in her situation. I guessed the end a little, but in this way her partner got a WAYYY better ending than she did cos he killed himself in his cell before any of this shit could happen to him. Theyre preventing her from even THINKING about killing herself either, which is insane. I could never take part in a show like this, and the main character was AMAZING. Her acting shocked me so hard. She really deserves recognition.
What the hell is up with all the Clara hate in the comments? She was an amazing character and I will miss her badly.
Beautiful ending to an amazing series. Definitely one of the best shows out there.
"i dont know you are but stand the fuck down"... Lol... Got to love her
The animation in this show is amazing but the one thing that actually blew my mind was the shot of Jayce writing with a fountain pen. The slight bend of the tip showed me the incredible attention of detail they put into this. The other thing is the slight shifting of the eyes when characters are looking at each other. Just like in real life when we switch from looking at one eye to the other. In a previous episode when someone climbed down a ladder, he didn't just glide down, you could see the gravity pulling down on him every rung he went down. Everything has a weight. Compare this to The Clone Wars where they just look like weightless stick figures. I'll be rewatching this show again cause I feel if I picked up on that, how much will I have missed?
This episode will be 90 minutes long instead of the usual 50-60 minutes.
Oh Maeve's so very clever!!! <3 her!!
-Hey, what are you in for?
-Everything.
Man I hate that trope they've used in the ending, it's always so stupid and annoying and feels like a cop out. Seriously.
On an unrelated note, think of all the inflation that's going to happen because this huge amount of money just went into circulation. I hope they'll address that in the last three episodes.
lmao i cant believe yall are mad because "john is out of character" or "john would never yell at sherlock" like k thanks for making john's character so insignificant and simple. obviously we havent been watching the same show
You don't get aliens in Sheffield!!
Quite enjoyed the first episode, enjoyed Jodie Whitaker's quirky style.
this show just keeps getting better
A bit lighter than the first two, but perfect to start setting up the relationship between James/Saul and Mike. Another episode with the now classic shots from Breaking Bad that makes this show delightfull to the sight like it's predecesor.
An exceptional episode. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The scenes in orbit were just breathtaking and also the scene on the moon when Ed meets the Russian Cosmonaut. How intense was that. This has blockbuster quality. And finally the ending was completely unexpected for me. This surely will have dire consequences.
that moment when you realise you sought asylum in Nazi Germany
