I was like "They better not show text how good the charity funded by the Bin Laden family and the Qatari government is for society"
Welp, they did. At least highlight how charities are used to give them more money and influence. Not make it seem like he cares about POC when he refused to even shake hands of black people in his coronation (edit: Elizabeth's funeral). Also him dancing screams "How do you do, fellow kids."
It's not the worst charity judging from CharityNavigator, but c'mon he literally made Diana's life hell and they only show her in 2 scenes here.
Can't believe Jimmy did all this just because Chuck stole his karaoke song.
Damn, the ol' switcharoo. Didn't expect this to make sense in the end at all. Bravo bo Odar & Jantje Friese!
"That was middle class. Promise me we'll never do this again"
Just after this show made me cry for the characters it gut-punches me with aristocratic decadence.
Good thing I couldn't care less about the real monarchy except maybe Diana.
Now in prison he can be Jimmy because he accepted responsibility for his actions, he can be Saul by conning people, but he stays Gene by being a cook, but also having the same reputation and admiration he got without the risks associated. Plus he finally sees how proud Kim is and largely used to be and can keep it that way by still being himself.
People are saying it's her fault, but this is what domestic abuse is like. Like many victims of DA she went back because she has unequal power in the relationship for example he made her ask for money by telling her to quit, controlled where she went by bringing the car back, almost was able to control who she talked to through only using his phone and all his decisions were final and not discussed at all. He constantly manipulated her by begging her to come back and constantly brought up his issues and how he "has gotten better" - appealing to sympathy.
You can't just say emotionally abusing her is her fault because she didn't "give back," that's victim blaming. Nothing victims do will stop the abuse, only abusers can stop it through therapy and all Sean did was go to AA meetings, which are good, but don't address the underlying issues.
Nate only helped her to win her over and Sean tried so hard to become a better person only to win her back. I doubt he even did it for Maddy or it didn't come across that way because he even said they won't be like their parents but still does all this.
Racism, homophobia and classism. Oh baby it's a triple. They show this so on the nose, but somehow people here still chalk it up to incompetence. These cops thought they could get HIV by going into a bedroom, come on.
PSA: If everything looking stretched is bothering you you can fix it with the Firefox extension "Browser Video Tuner", click on it while the video is playing and press CTRL+2 twice and CTRL+0 each episode. Netflix and Neil Gaiman confirmed it is intentional unfortunately.
Opposite to what I've seen a lot of people say I found the first few episodes a little to slow and cheesy, but the premise kept me intrigued and I'm glad I stuck with it because it became much better, interesting and mind-bending. It's a shame a lot of the gothic aesthetics were tuned down but it's certainly the most goth thing I've seen on TV in the last few years.
It's insane to me how bothered people are about 5 characters happening to be gay. Sure, it's a little much but why care?
You can suspend your disbelief for a world where someone has teeth for eyes, but not that gay people are a little more common?
Never trust anyone in Night City. Worst mistake of my life.
I'm actually glad this episode had a classic Trigger twist, because him just finding the one he's been searching for right after losing everything and then falling in love would've been even more of a trope. She did seem to genuinely like him before money was involved tho...
That the father waiting for his daughter was straight up looking at Jesse the entire time was a bit contrived.
He could've just looked around for her and it would've looked just as suspicious to him and been more believable.
That dubstep aged like milk. Glad Mike is a feminist now.
"Y'know the guy that gifted me this watch hated my guts so bad he wanted to kill me."
Imagine being so narcissistic you don't even think twice telling a morally good person that.
What I love about this show is that there are consequences for everyone's actions and, boy, Skyler really dug a hole for herself. All she had to do was stick to her initially insanely strict law-abiding principles and let the lawyer talk to the police.
I don't blame her, but it was inevitable. I never got the massive amount of hate (what just because she complains a lot?) but anyone hopefully agrees she doesn't deserve any of this emotional abuse from Walt; which is a form of domestic violence.
"Most girls are here 7 times" - Denise. Sometimes foreshadowing is quite obvious.
To think The Queen watched The Crown in her last years, but used to make such a fuss on exclusively watching the BBC.
It doesn't even make sense. It's assuming the workers of the other stations weren't her "subjects".
Surely her wanting a return on the investment has nothing to do with it and it's entirely a sense of tradition.
I don't think I've ever been so annoyed at someone not going to the doctor. I get it, it's America but c'mon.
Least deranged The Exorcist III fan.
Probably the first dub I have ever preferred to the original.
They should do this to every show that flops in Japan, but they're cowards and probably lesbians.
Are you kidding me? Hank had every chance to just drive away. Also they see people with guns and don't immediately get into cover?
Men will rather wish their cancer to be back than go to therapy.
What a season finale. I feel like there wasn't a real arc for it, but I guess that comes with the episodic format.
Power corrupts all.
I'm sure with Johansson we wouldn't have the corruption scandals and sportswashing of countries, but the documentary didn't talk about him at all.
To an extend I get it because a documentary wants to tell a story, but you can't just include a clip of him saying "Everybody knows my plan" and then at the vote what his values are, when the truth is even articles from back then criticized that both didn't have plans. Reform proposals were even simply copied from one another.
During Johansson's reign before the election the UEFA already proposed reforms that would bring transparency and ethics, but also give the UEFA more influence. Another one would give the best performing countries more revenue from TV broadcasting.
Definitely not as enticing to other regions as corruption.
Ahhh. I love this show so much. First wanting to squat and now saying property is an illusion. Based comrade Puppycat.
If you think about it it's Walt's actions that made Skyler do this. His pride never let himself be described to be in "danger," then he puffs himself up as this threat in "the guy who knocks" speech which ironically describes Jesse.
In reality all the people he killed, in a much less badass way, just put him and his family in more danger without ever telling her.
She took a long-term measure, but since Walt rushed everything it was bound to only work out in the short term.
Can't wait for Kleo to single-handedly defeat the US government in season 2.
You gotta respect having the same drip as "Das Sams" from german childrens books/movies.
Although this episode does have some scenes with overacting, it is pretty fun.
We stan a transmasc Kangaman king
"That stakeout. You really think a man just happens to drive by like that?!" - Hank Schrader, probably.
Not to spoil Better Call Saul but man, me chaotically rewatching everything before this and then BCS really paid off.
I can't believe Jimmy turned into such an asshole and would disrespect Francesca like that tho.
This episode really made me question reality with how I was convinced the date was an actor but also tv with how weird it must be for babies. Only issue I have with it is that I had to constantly pause to laugh.
Damn, I can finally see why the manga has so many fans. It doesn't pull any punches.
Puppycat truly is the best.
Wow, Contrapoints is in this?! That rules.
