I'll be totally ok if for the next season we'd have no Sheldon and Mary but only the rest of the family who stayed in Texas. We already had Chuck Lorre productions going on without one of the titular characters at "Mom".
The whole George situation, wondering when he's going to die reminds me of a similar plotting in "This is is", and I'm even more fond of this particular dad :see_no_evil:
The milk spilling was really realistic here. But what's up with the drinking so much alcohol while breastfeeding, is that acceptable out there?!
Talking in a foreign language so that your superior wouldn't understand you, man, I did it in second grade and that childish even then. Lame. And of course he'd understand. The character is ok, I can see his reasons for trying to reinforce discipline and respect.
But weird situation with Tanner AND Jack, Andy being really stupid - I didn't like it, they're really making childish and incompetent, and her dad - really needy.
Delucca playing matchmaker was also really out of the blue.
Miller was cute, and love Montgomery with his bf, but overall - that was meh, badly written.
I got a dejavu from the birds being smashed on the window and now my mind is broken because I can't remember where I've seen this. :cry:
Very disappointed by Andrea, to be honest. Girl, you can't have it both ways. It's ok to choose the guy, but don't act like you're a friend to the people you're betraying. The series is so good now, can't stop binging.
Really enjoyed this season, the only thing that didn't click with me was Sturgis appearance in the video Sheldon made, wasn't he supposed to be still aggravated by Sheldon's accusations and attempting to take credit? Maybe should have been mentioned somewhere. I just hope it'll continue, the family storylines are great, I love George Sr., Missi, Georgie and even pastor Jeff. This spinoff was awesome, I even shared it with my own kind of Meemaw, my 70+ mother-in-law, who never watched TBBT and probably wouldn't get it, but really liked Young Sheldon, so I hope we'll get at least 1-2 season more.
I liked the bit where the new Offglen told June that the new order is good for her - that part was very realistic, because it's true, even if the worst of the regimes there are some who end up better than before.
I don't think that the scene with Emily-now-Offsteven was great or moving - It's just plain terrorism and the specific guard she killed wasn't to blame for anything, it just shows the nature of some extremists who think their misery is an excuse for hurting others.
And in general, it feels like people are just people, lust is lust - and June just missed good sex :) I'm not moved by the so-called feminist agenda, I don't see anything realistic about the idea, but the story itself is not that bad, the music placement is enjoyable, so it worth going on with it.
I think the season was great, I don't really understand why everybody aren't happy about it. I guess not all the viewers can accept the evolution of the characters and the way life may change things, but as a show aimed for some socially-challenged people, I think the show is doing a great job at showing that even people like Sheldon have feelings and can have meaningful and constantly evolving relationships. And if some of the viewers don't have it yet - well, it took the people on the show almost 10 years to get there, so there's hope for everyone out there! I love it and I'm sure soon enough I'll have a rewatch of the whole thing :)
Amazing how a character predicted own death so well in this episode. Powerful and sad stuff. I hope we could see more and more of Omar, this one is truly addictive. And it doesn't feel like it was shot 13 years ago. Just a great, unique pace that demands your patience.
I'm surprised there's no comments here and that there were some really harsh reviews on this. I thought if was amazing, a real therapy for any girl who lost a father who cared for her. Russell Crowe was amazing, and I really loved Aaron Paul in the romantic hero role, he deserves more of them, with these eyes of his. I wept in this movie, although it's very rare of me. Only weak part I saw was the music - could've been less cliche. But all the rest - it's great. Perhaps it was unnapreciated because the idea of a connection between a father and child is still so unaccepted? Or maybe the fact that the women presented there were pretty selfish (Elizabeth, and the literary agent)? I don't know, but I know for a fact that there are men like that out there, I hope there's gonna be more of them. Watch this movie. It worth your time.
Good one, now Christina will be back to MaxDot. I keep waiting for her getting together with Kofo, maybe that's where it's headed with Dotti approving relations at work :grin:
This episode makes me really hopeful to get another spin-off with Georgie and Mandy, although I remember from TBBT that they'll end up divorced, Georgie making a tire empire out of her dad's business but being generally bitter, but as we see from "Young Sheldon", things can be slightly changed and askewed :)
"You sound like Sheldon"
That buuuurn...
I'm weirdly obsessed with this show, I'm shocked I never heard about it until now, being the older millennial and all.
Loved that last take about "Lonely Boy in New York", kuddos to our OAD brothers/sisters in arms. But it's obviously going to be a conflict for Dawn and Scott.
I'm just going to say this - Crowley offering Jim hot chocolate justified the watch of the whole season for me.
Really loved this, all of this, all the characters, all the plot lines and all the gags. Every line is brilliant. Love the sexual tension between Selina and Tom, and I just love me some hotness in the fifties, makes me hopeful for the future, haha.
Feels like this series is going to go out with a bang, unlike many others. That's so refreshing.
This was so wonderful, mainly thanks to the actors, they were truly magnificent, and they are so young! Indeed, it makes me want to watch the whole series again, and even read the books, though it's not my cup of tea usually (the regency stories). So touching. I only wonder what happened to Reynolds, whether the king doesn't have his man now?
Also, I wonder if the older version of King Geroge was played by the same actor as in the brief appearance he had in the series? As I said, it really warrants a re-watch, to see the Queen from a new perspective and have deeper understanding of her motives.
This episode was soooo amazing. Brimsley's devotion, Charlotte bravery and the ability to stand for herself and her king. And the surprising twist that Lady Dunbary was in love with Violet's father is so touching. I wonder if it'll be revealed to Violet in the next last episode and how would she react to that. It took me a while to get into the series and now I'm sad there's only one episode left. This saga is deliciously done peace of TV history, and I'm already excited for season 3 and waiting for a Benedict season.
"Flesh Tone" joke really got me. I love how this show addresses the topics, Abishola is amazing, Bob is so cute, seems like the ultimate "feel good" series, and I really need that now. Also happy it didn't get canceled after a season or two, so I'll have some fun with it.
Young Brimsley reminds me George's character in "Grey's Anatomy", feels like some kind of "making things right" by Shonda (not that he needs it, the actor, I mean), but that's a thought I couldn't let go of this entire episode.
I wonder what's wrong with George - panic attacks, or something worse, is this the sickness he has in the main series that make him absent? This is the new intrigue now.
Him being not that interested in marriage and being with his wife seems plausible, some just don't the libido. Plus, he got more interested in her when she showed appreciation of his interest and activities. A bit archaic despite the overall empowering stance of the series (as much as possible, given the setting). Anyhow, quite enjoyable and a nice way to spend time in between seasons.
I loved this episode, made it worth the whole watch, to be honest. Loved the relationship between the "Rabbi" and Satchel, and the pace was thoughtful, but not boring like most of the episodes. The hurricane scene made me go WTF and it was a good one, the b\w made it look even more horrifying, and this effect seemed However, with 2 episodes left and 0.40 speed... I can make till the end. I just hope Satchel gets back home.
This goes slowly and predictably. Thanks god for the speed-up option, saves some time. I decided to catch for season 5, since it seems to be great (and I want to see John Hamm in a new role), but this is really annoying. Chris Rock isn't the worst thing about it though. The lazy writing and lack of spark - that's what takes it out.
I was surprised by how cute young Brimsley is, I even had a thought that perhaps he were more than her confidant? The king is sweet, but I didn't like this double-edge-sword of his attitude - nice at first and rejecting later. Bit I guess it'll resolve in the next episodes.
Claire is so dissatisfied with life, that her bitching is kinda understandable. I can also imagine that she's baffled by the fact that Fleabags' café is doing well now, perhaps that's what made her to start being so itchy, because being the "successful one" is her thing.
Loved Belinda's speech, this idea of menopause being a point of liberation is very exciting to me, I think I heard it first from something having to do with Simone de Beauvoir, except that she saw the lack of desirability a liberation as well. I love how this series feel like reading a good book, stimulating.
The priest storyline is gold, of course. I love the second season more than the first for now, but that might be because the characters grew up on me.
I love all the man dramas Selina has now with Jaffar and Tom Jones. Hugh Laurie is enchanting as ever in this episode.
I really enjoyed this. I agree with some commenters in the previous episodes that the rhythm is a little bit off, but I feel that's their way to revamp the sitcom genre to modern day and pace, and I think it works out, and it is funny enough, sad enough and "woke" enough without being too force. I also loved seeing Ted McGinley, who's forever will be the hot neighbor from "Married with Children" for me (THAT old I am, yep), so his bits were fantastic for me and I hope we'll see more of his retirement adventures in Season 2 (please make it be a season 2). Loved the cliffhanger (pan intended) in the end too. Also, every bit of TV or Film that puts "Modern Love" in the soundtrack always gets bonus points from me for the goosebumps this song gives me.
What a great ride it was, a bit like a good therapy session, just hurtful and crack-opening enough to be healthy.
I imagine this episode was more interesting to fans, seeing the process of creating the songs, and the footage with Jeri. Luckily, I'm a fan apparently, cause I somehow knew many of the songs.
I actually like how it is presented, RW in his bedroom talking as if to us the watchers, but feeling too shy to look straight in the eyes. The bit where the daughter came in was touching as well. I haven't watch a lot of documentaries in recent years, but the genre has obviously evolved and became engaging. Probably gonna watch Bechkhem as well for the experience.
Also, I love how things from my childhood ("She's the one" was one of my favorite songs and music videos as a pre-teen, seems so romantic to me back then) are now the materials of semi-historic documentaries.
I just wonder how he dove into "Take That" so quickly, with one line about being a bad student. No family? No background in arts? Seems kinda weird, usually we get at least something from childhood, a photo of the family or as a child... I don't know, perhaps he's estranged from his family or something.
Loved Schmidt's growth in this episode.
All the rest, as skewed as it is, can be overlooked as a reflection of an era, and obviously, there's always two sides to things.
I didn't really like Jackson's behavior in this episode. It's very childish not to see that his mother achieved and blazed a trail not any less than people in all the rallies and marches. Perhaps it's not really about that, but a need to feel connected to something, so I guess he's going to his dad now? Whatever, I hope he'll find a balance between being an ideologist (with no grasp in reality) and a very wealthy and influential man through heritage.
Also, watching this at the end of 2023, It's very ironic to see their struggles, knowing it only got worse from that point on all around the world. Very sad. I just hope that it really is the most dark before the sunrise (but you can never be sure it won't get even darker).
Amelia and Link are the best thing on GA right now, I hope the writers won't ruin it.
I loved the resolution of the newlyweds stories from Station 19, it felt right. This woman really is extremely annoying and toxic, and it's nice to see that men can be victims and vulnerable too. Good for Shane, it's better to be alone than with someone who makes you feel insignificant.
