"You can’t play the game from both sides, Brainy. You can’t pretend to be on our side one minute and then push us away the next. If you can’t pick a side, I’ll choose one for you." – oh, that was an EXCELLENT line.
That fight sequence between Katara and the Waterbending master was EXCELLENT.
Favourite episode so far! Absolutely loved Gregory's lowkey involvement in the garden, that plot was the standout for me. The other main plot with Sahar was great as well, if mostly for how pissed Schemmenti got in 2 seconds every time :joy::clap:
Also, is it just me, or does Ava remind anyone else of Gina Linetti from Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
Can the people complaining about this show just drop it already? Ffs it's the 6th season's finale and you're STILL somehow here when all you do is whinge...
So far I've been more interested in the things happening in the past with the Yellowjackets in the wilderness and just how they survived the year and a bit out there, but after basically an entire episode of just watching a bunch high kids' shenanigans... Yeah, nah. I want the drama coming from aspects of survival and how that might affect a survivor's psychology, not any sort of drama based off of the writers thinking the affects of a group of teens unknowingly taking shrooms would be "interesting" or whatever. It didn't even do anything for plot progression, either? This isn't a CW network show, but it definitely felt like it.
It's weird to say that all the present events are more interesting now... Let's just say I hope the season finale is MUCH better than this.
Luffy can't be THAT stupid. They've said it multiple times during this episode: Zoro is his nakama. You'd think he'd actually listen to what he has to say rather than fight it out. If Zoro had been hypnotised or something along those lines, it'd be more acceptable, but this is lowkey cringey for being so ooc at best.
That one travelling shot when Beth arrives at Las Vegas was incredible! I'm so impressed with the cinematography!
Alexis, about Ted's booty call: Say hi to her cat for me.
HAHAHAHA
Is no one else amazed at how James, Nia and especially Kara all have the innate superpower to both save the world AND write complete and fully searched articles for Catco that are delivered on time? No? Just me?
I hate how the general fandom ships Michaela and Jared together just because they were almost engaged - yes, they have history, but Jared and Lourdes moved on! It gives Jared absolutely no excuse whatsoever to be cheating on his wife! This entire love triangle is so stupid.
I loved John way back when his own show was a thing on the NBC, and this episode made me less bitter about how we never got a second season of it... Even if only for a little while.
This is definitely a binge-worthy show, although having 10x 30 minute episodes per season and four main characters, that leaves us with maybe 10 minutes of screentime for each girl... If we're being generous here. I say this, because I understand Kimberly's temptation to cheat on her test... But her just saying she's failing a class without showing us how or why makes the empathy feel weak at best. I want to see at the very least a montage of her getting back homework with F's on the top corner, or her struggling to keep up with classwork because she doesn't do the homework in time. And no, that sex addict episode doesn't count much, 'cos that all happened during one day ( even tho it's said they were a thing for a couple of months after that point ) - if it were an ongoing thing that'd happened for months, then perhaps it would feel more valid. It just feels a little rushed.
I think it'd be interesting if the show had done something like what the SKAM universe does, and have a season per character instead: seeing the POV of, say, Leighton and her working out her sexuality and sense of belonging in a totally new environment for the first season or even just her exclusively for the first 3 episodes, and then next few revolving solely around Whitney trying to prove she's more than a senator's daughter, for example.
I guess I'm just saying that I notice this a lot with tv shows, but there's always a struggle to put in enough character development for everyone when there are multiple main characters. The show does an incredible job so far, but it could definitely be a little better, imo.
They never show Lorelai actually calling off the wedding and instead kinda just imply it, which is super weird to me ???
"Hello, Raymond. Surprised to see me?"
"Well, I didn't say 'bloody Mary' three times so yes."
the roasts were 100% but this was, by far, the BEST line of the episode :joy:
"Why must you always insist that the universe grant you special privileges?" THANK YOU, AMBROSE.
Hang on... how does the Stranger get the original letter we see at the very beginning to give back to Jonas, if Jonas burned it? Were there two copies?
Also there are way too many main characters for this kind of plot. I do enjoy the time travel and being able to see two different perspectives, but we have: Charlotte, Peter, Hannah, Ulrich, Mads, Jonas, Michael/Mikkel, Helge, Ines, Jana, Katharina, Regina, Bartosz, and the Stranger... That's almost 15 different people to keep track of, and I'm still missing a few!
I loved Taraji in Person of Interest but otherwise haven't seen her in many other things, so her rolling up in this ep as Janine's mum was a complete shock!
The most boring episode of the season so far, not to mention the lighting in that last scene is TERRIBLE that I didn't know what was happening until I read another comment here.
After the last 2 episodes, this season finale fell SO flat, it flopped. :(
"One day you're gonna realise he doesn't deserve the pedestal you put him on." OOF! :clap:
Wow, this show's come SO FAR when it comes to art style and animation... Just looking back at how it was in the first few arcs compared to now, there's SUCH a difference that anything before this just looks... So wrong :joy: Also, that scene with Luffy/Law/Kid looked PHENOMENAL. The absolute highlight of the ep for me.
What a fun episode! Although it does really nothing at all for the overall plot, it was super enjoyable.
Shu Shu's backstory made my heart break but god damn, the barking was straight up annoying asf :rolling_eyes:
Laughing 'cos people are saying they're disappointed Robin turned out gay... So what if she is? Just say you're homophobic and move on lol
Ah, frick... I knew from the moment we met her that the detective would only be collateral damage, but I can’t help but take a liking to Ashley Madkewe because I was a sucker for one of her previous shows, Revenge
The fact that the entire scheme was based on/set in a stock market... where they were profiting off of the minotaur's power, and the stock trends could be called "bullish"... just adds a whole 'nother level of funny pun to this :joy:
Ok, I really thought this was just gonna be another one of those flashback episodes, but damn... THAT FINAL SCENE IS SO EPIC! I'd happily wait an extra week or whatever if this is the sort of animation quality we'd be getting in the future!
all the men in this show are either meh or ok,,, the woman, however? ugh. talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing-
also leighton and alicia? :eyes:
THIS EPISODE, THO !!!!! Oh my god, the long run through this arc ( 113 eps just to get here! ) has been SO worth the hours of watching. I'm so in love with the little animation design choices, like the individual colours for each Akazaya member, or the Oden-shaped figure that combines them all to hit Kaido in the end... Wow. Just... Wow. They've really outdone themselves, once again.
I'm also curious to see how Carrot handles Perospero, though something tells me Marco's gonna help out with that, having known Pedro back in the day as well.
Currently up to ep87 of this arc and am really getting bored of it – just like the Maineford Arc ( but in this case much, much worse ), it's gone on for far too long with nothing happening for the most part. I really love the overall plot concept with [spoilers]people turning to toys[/spoilers], but there were a number of episodes that you could just skip and still be fine continuing. Not only that, but it's been over 30 episodes or something, and we haven't gotten any updates about [spoilers]Team B of the Straw Hats.[/spoilers] They'll most likely be important for the tail-end of this arc but it feels like the writers know how much more expendable / weak they are that they just don't include them in this battle-heavy sitch. It also doesn't help that a lot of these recent episodes have started almost a whole 5 minutes in.
60-75 episodes would have been perfect with enough filler events to actually get through the entire main plot.
