Love how Tarka has become one of the most compelling characters in the show - his arc with Book is just as great as the main one. Such a great stakes raising episode, really care a lot more about the bridge crew than I have done in previous seasons!
The running kidnapping gag is probably the best comedy-related thing of the year so far
Love the show, wish it had a better score as the music has hurt it all season.
A bit rushed especially in its climax but there's a lot of novelty to be had about Kate Stewart, UNIT's return and The Doctor adjusting to life outside the TARDIS despite the fact that he handled it quite well in The Lodger and Closing Time.
More Barclay! Really wish he showed up more on this show, but he certainly knows how to make the most of his time in every episode. Dwight Schultz is one of the show's best guest stars. Loved everything that he got to do this episode; his scenes with La Forge and Troi were great.
Hastings better be innocent! That car scene is between Steve & Corbett was so tense and that ending is a really cruel cliffhanger.
A perfect series finale to a truly incredible series.
Wow. Things took a darker turn super fast there.
Excellent return. Welcome back, Rebels!
Welcome back Peaky Blinders! One of the best shows on TV.
Good to have The Originals back. Strong premiere.
Very strong premiere. Welcome back Chicago PD!
One of the best new pilots of the fall even if it is basically Person Of Interest: Las Vegas.
Shocking first five minutes - Yellowjackets doesn't really hold back at all. Insane episode, as usual.
Would be great if all the people who went out of their way to comment how much they hated the show for like the past four seasons every single week just... stopped watching it.
One of the best Doctor Who episodes of an otherwise lacklustre Series 7 - everything Cowboys & Aliens should have been, a complex moral thriller set against a classic Rio Bravo/High Noon-type set-up filled with plenty of planned anachronisms and Who fun that questions the morality of The Doctor and allows the show to explore deeper themes than it normally does in monster of the weeks. Darker edged and hard hitting - Ben Browder is a surprisingly good guest star in his all-too brief appearance. Smith is great in this one.
Same school of thought as the previous celebrity historical episodes, but with a surprise Felicity Jones appearance! of course she's the thief, tons of fun with its Cluedo-esque mystery "what are you doing with that lead piping?" and obviously, the CGI with the wasp hasn't aged brilliantly, but it's really fun overall and Agatha Christie and The Doctor teaming up to solve crimes never fails. Also the bit about The Doctor/companions bouncing off ideas about books that the famous authors haven't written to them yet from The Shakespeare Code never gets tiring.
A fascinating proto-DS9 episode that really puts down the groundwork for the Cardassian/Bajorans conflict. Michelle Forbes is great as Ensign Ro who goes against what we've seen from Starfleet officers so far, and this allows for plenty of tension with herself and the crew in a great way. Forbes works really well with both Goldberg & Stewart, her scenes with Guinan - particularly at the start, were a highlight, as were Picard's at the end.
Things fall apart in the very next episode - which didn't take long at all - finding the treasure was always going to be the easy part if this show wanted to have any sense of a longer lifespan about it - there's a lot of scenes between John B. and Sarah's father Ward here that really work - of course Sarah's dad was always going to know more about the treasure than he was letting on, and that final shot of him climbing up the boat to - do something bad - to John B opens up a whole can of questions for the next episode. He has a dark past - that's clear - a past that he's willing to take drastic actions to stop his newly adopted son from talking.
JJ fell down pretty hard this episode and his stuff was pretty emotional and effective. I really like that the show doesn't use this as an excuse to force him apart from the rest of his friends, and that Kiara and Pope sympathise with him for his actions rather than cast him off - which would have been a bad move. It's the highlight of the episode for me, even considering the ending. Rudy Pankow was the MVP of this episode.
Maybe it's not the best idea to question a man who may have had something to do with your father's disappearance on a boat in the middle of nowhere, John B? Maybe wait until you're back on dry land? Either way - whatever happens next - most likely leaning in the direction that John B's going to either kill or heavily injure Ward out of self-defence - we've just found our hook for the rest of the episodes.
Okay, so the Sarah/Kiara split was finally resolved this episode. We learnt more about why Kiara and Sarah don't get along at all - and the two resolving their differences was cliche as hell but fun, and Kiara admitting that she called the cops on Sarah's party was a fun moment. This was very much an episode of two halves that almost felt like two different shows, the first half felt very standard teen drama-y and then the thing quickly turns into a remake of Don't Breathe in the second act as things veered quickly into horror territory that the show was hinting at beforehand.
The scenes where the group were avoiding the blind woman were as tense as hell, and Outer Banks did a good job with changing the atmosphere completely; when it wants to go tense - it can really go tense - I wasn't expecting it to turn into a Don't Breathe remake as quickly as it did, and I felt the group's jubilation and sense of victory about getting the gold and escaping from the house. I wasn't expecting them to find gold so early on in the series - which begs the question - what's going to happen in the next four episodes? How is this not a mini-series? How are we supposed to get a second season out of this?
It's great to have this show back.
Best episode of the season yet. This is more like it!
So intense. This show doesn't hold back.
Good episode. This and Legends of Tomorrow are the best time travel shows around right now.
Really awesome episode. Great ending!
Ark flashbacks were very cool.
Great finale, really hope Fox renews this show, one of the best new comedies.
Excellent episode. That could have easily been a season finale in another show.
A very fun, atmospheric episode. Great cliffhanger.
Wow! Season 2 is loads better. Massive improvement.
