I should have been ready for this, but I wasn't.
The only thing I'm curious about now is what the heck the last 2 episodes will be about now that the bad guy is arrested.
That was so, so brilliant.
Loved the love showed between Kurt and Diane, inspirational for us, aging gals and dudes. They're so cute and romantic, and their differences just make their relationship much more interesting.
Loved Marissa reminiscing about her dad, If Eli Gold could pop in the next season, that could be really awesome.
The climax of Wackner court was good and quite surprising, although at the bottom line it's obvious that any rebel against the ruling system leads eventually to anarchy.
I think this series really bringing in something new in terms of narratives and ideas of current times. I wonder if it'll be later viewed as a reflection of 2020's.
Felt a little bit like a prolonged Fargo episode, but I generally enjoyed this, although the ending might have had some more depth in it.
Wow, they finally at least acknowledged the existence of Christy kid in this episode. It's really weird how both her children disappeared and she's not worrying about them at all, but cares about getting a man. Still love the show, although Christy becomes really pathetic, hope they'll finally cut her some slack, boost her confidence and give her some kind of win towards the end of the season. And appearance of the kids would be nice
Mike's plot reminds me of Prison Break now.
Very nice. It could use a bit of depth in developing the love story between David and Nina (the whole story basically happened in a month?), but the chemistry was great here, and the idea that seemingly bad things may be just triggers for a better chapter of your life is very encouraging.
This episode was the sweetest!
Am I the only one who thinks that Howard and Jackie is the cutest thing ever happened on that show? I hope it'll work out for them.
I actually hoping to see a new twist, of having people corrupted while looking innocent (Mrs. Keyes, I'm looking at you).
It'll be interesting now, that we see some kind of downcast in the dooming of men (seeing Johny Depp exonerated, as well as Kevin Spacey).
Victims become the victimizers so easily.
Also, June is kinda drunk on power, if Gilead will fall, she won't be able to live a regular life like before.
The show certainly not easy to watch, and sometimes it's difficult to get into its rhythm, but it's worths it.
Really great send-off, and very real depiction of an immigrant experience, being torn inside.
I'm gonna voice an unpopular opinion that Toby is not such a bad guy here, I think one of the problems is that he constantly feels ganged-up by the "big three". He constantly feels outnumbered and that's one of the reasons of him lashing out.
The only thing where he was out of line is when he gave Kate an ultimatum about moving to SF, they were supposed to talk about this. Her arranging the house and the environment for Jack and her job are equally important as the financial stability he received in SF and his own personal satisfaction.
I think that in their position, having the 2 approaches of giving Jack tools to be independent + taking advantage of the medicine in the future (which requires money!) is the best way to go, without the competition.
At the end of the day (when everything blew up between them at the final scene) If she'd say "Ok, we're both at fault here, you because the gate, me because of the front door, let's try to make sure this won't happen again, please?" the situation might have been resolved with both of them being happy that Jack is ok (what an amazing actor, btw!)
Anyway, having 2 brothers to gang up on him certainly didn't help.
So siblings might bring as much problems, as comfort and support, that's how I see it :)
I love the characters of this season much more than the first one (hated Daphne, so bland and annoying), love that we know who is lady Whistledown is and see how she takes notice from her readers. The acting is good, it's so great to see Simone in a much more sparkling role than in Sex Education, she's so beautiful and dignified! And overall, the couple of this season is way better than the leading man and woman of the previous season. I loved Anthony and Benedict already, can't wait to spend more time with them. Love the dresses and the music, looks like it's going to be a fun and more engaging season than the first, that's a nice change, since usually it's the other way around.
I'm a bit sad that Rita and Scooter never got to go to New York together. But oh well, what can you do, after all they were just backside decorations for Alma :)
Great start! I really liked the interaction Dee has with all the characters (especially Scooter), she's very insightful. I wonder if she knows something about her dads' "hobby".
Also loved "grieving wife" Rita, it was so funny.
There's one thing that gets overlooked in this... Sylvie is so HAWT!
I like the series, but Emily's character could really be better because she keeps acting all innocent and perfect and “I'm not like that” – and obviously that's annoying for us. Gabriel is also acting very childishly. "Boohoo, I have to make decisions".
I kind of want a spin-off about Camille and her new adventures and relationships.
I'm still kind of hoping Casey gets back with Evan...
Izzie is just toxic (even if it's not her fault) and Casey just have this need to save her, not sure that this is love. And it's like Evan became not so interesting to her once he became self-sufficient and reliant (if I remember correctly).
She'll have to dig much deeper into herself besides confirming sexual\gender identity... There's much more to that. It probably won't happen in the last episode, but the series is brilliant anyway.
Also, got my answer about Elsa's mom. Interesting, I thought people became meaner when they have dementia, not nicer...
It was a bit slow for me, so I watched it a bit high-speed, but I can see where the writers are going with it, and it's an interesting curve - now the governor has a family to protect, not only his status or stability of his camp in general. It might actually become his weakness, because previously he was willing to sacrifice anyone, but what about now? Can be an interesting confrontation with the "prison camp".
Kinda weird that Andy is a mentor to Neal, considering that Neal looks much older. Again, not sure Evans was the right pick for the role, even if we know now that they had their son when they were relatively young.
Also, again, he just looks to perfect for a distressed father. Porcelain skin, perfectly trimmed beard and hair, no bags under the eyes from lack of sleep, like a perfect doll. Still Captain America all the way.
The only explanation I can see is that he's actually a psychopath himself who faked to be normal throughout his life, so basically everything he does is an act, but his true nature emerged through his son. That could have been interesting, but I try not to have too much of false hopes here.
I liked that ending, it's both good as season and series finale.
Ok, so now that Josh is a property owner and a dad - he's ready for Liza, haha. I still would have preferred if they'd played the card that at some point you're not necessarily NEED to be with someone to be happy (like Kelsey who's basically "forever alone" though successful, or she's going to meet someone in LA), but what can you do, they wanted a happy ending.
Could have been worse. Sad there was no Diana in the last season, except that video call they had once, but It's time to say goodbye.
So sad about T-Dog :( Lori too, but that was expected, since we all knew the famous Carl meme.
I'm glad to see Carol being so much stronger in these season, can already see she's going to be the queen of the series soon enough.
I'm also happy that Merle is back. Andrea is really oblivious in this episode, Philip is so manipulative it hurts. Wonder what was his occupation before the apocalypse.
And Michonne's "walkers\biters" were probably her parents.
Ola's character was really ruined in this episode with the way she gave Otis an ultimatum, that was really unlike her. But I guess that's life. Only proves that when you feel you have to give your partner an ultimatum - the relationship is already doomed. Too bad she realized it before Otis sent Mevae that message. But that might be a lesson to him as well, play it less safe and to try to go with what he really wants.
I feel we didn't get enough of Rahim to decide who's better for Eric, him or Adam, he must have some other hidden issues as well, like how he got to England in the first place, and why he lives above the store, who are his parents etc.
I hope we'll get more of that in the remaining episodes of the season
I think the boards' decision that "millennial" is outdated and irrelevant was really on point at the episode, I suddenly felt the same when I started watching this, so it's like they've read my mind. It gave a really interesting twist to the series, that the "younger" ones aren't so young anymore (just like me, haha), and it's an interesting idea to explore, beyond the cliche that "age is just a number", and it's really interesting that once you're over 30, you can easily get together with someone 15+ older than you, because basically you're all mature now.
And I loved the conflict between Liza and Charles, showing that you can be of the same status and age and still be on different pages regarding what you want.
Of course I'm rooting for Liza and Josh, and I'm pretty sure they'll end up together.
Anyway, it is one of the best shows ever and I hope It'll get a decent ending, but I'm up with everything more or less :sweat_smile:
My God, I rarely cry during movies etc, even the heroes die etc. (I'm that heartless, haha). But this really got to me. This series is like a form of a therapy by itself.
I keep thinking that the little girl ripping butterflies is actually Moon Young doing it to make Kang Tae and Sang Tae stay, to show them that she's stronger and won't let the butterflies hurt Sang Tae.
Well, considering the fact that Henry was practically a copy-paste of Danny Duquette, this ending was pretty expected.
If I could kill off one character in this series, it would have been Violet, she's so entitled, selfish, annoying, makes everything about her, brings trouble on herself and anyone around her. It's good Sheldon is there too to rehabilitate the image of the therapist profession.
Ok, considering Karev is my favorite character (even if I'm in the minority here), i really like this coupling with Trish Walker.
