The actresses who played young Mia and Elena did good job imitating Kerry Washington’s and Reese Witherspoon’s mannerisms. Though KW’s face-acting looks unnatural on anyone.
What a cliffhanger! I love the twisted dirty secrets.
The further it goes the less I am willing to suspend my disbelief. Children learn to read on their own and know how to vocalize what they read without knowledge of phonetics. A whole lot of human history, science, and invention fits into the few books that can be stuffed into the box they inherit. They talk about building weapons that kill hundreds and how they can just do that from written documents. Characters don’t age even though nearly two decades pass. The twins are irritating little shytes. Things come to them too easily and it just feels fake. I like watching See for the setting, because it reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn minus the machines, but the plot isn’t that engaging and the plot holes just make it worse.
Drunk Baron determined to try pizza pie was the best part of the episode.
Jeez Mia, you are supposed to be an adult and take a high road when confronting a privileged, but very traumatized teen. Instead, you decided to be a bitch. I really have a hard time connecting to Mia's character or feel sympathetic for her.
An incredibly stupid series of events. Instead of using the key that would solve the problem in 2 seconds (the mind control one), they just repeatedly give the guy 50 different opportunities to hold each other hostage.
I am getting irritated that Midge takes every opportunity to turn any public gathering into her personal comedy show. She just needs to make a flippin toast at a wedding and BAM! she is on the table doing a whole routine. She stops by a bar in Paris and BAM! she is somehow on stage talking about her failed marriage again. It's not always about you, Midge, and most of the time I am cringing rather than cheering you on.
This show gets infinitely better when it goes back to the 1950s.
Imagine if Aaron dropped the bomb at the end that he was a secret traitor in some last diabolical twist from the show… I almost wish he did.
I put off watching this episode for as long as I could, because I knew it was going to deal with some incredibly hard scenes for me. But honestly, the whole thing, the every single minute is so full of sorrow and hard choices that it’s futile to try to shield myself. Just one more episode of emotional torture left that is so well-done, but so terrible. Give this show all the Emmys.
The Faithfuls were convinced it was the drink that poisoned someone for no apparent reason. The first thing that came out of Diane's mouth at breakfast was that someone kissed her on the cheek the night before and that it was suspicious. Harry took an opportunity to sink Miles by immediately suggesting coffee or tea, or another drink. If it wasn't for him, the group would have been caught up in the kiss or hug, or whatever else. If only the Traitors stuck together, they could have easily redirected from Miles. Sloppy gameplay, because the Traitors outed one of their own when the danger was small.
Some of the twists are a bit far-fetched now. Oh, she missed x number of days in school? Must be pregnant! The baby was born in March, must be the one person I know who was also born in March! The killer had brown curly hair? Must be the first person with brown curly hair I meet! Rather ridiculous!
Am I the only one who thinks that Villanelle and Eve have zero chemistry? This is supposed to be a story of fatal attraction, but instead we get Eve wandering around with a shell-shocked look on her face most of the time, and Villanelle doing crazy things for crazy sake. Even when Eve is conflicted about her feelings for her mortal enemy, she doesn't act conflicted, but more like a mad woman raving (ie cake scene, wth was that?). Wasted potential. This whole season was unnecessary and meandering for no reason. Not a single thing that happened propelled the story along. No wonder Niko checked out. I was prepared to take pitchfork to the neck not to suffer anymore too.
Season 3 was a brutal thing.
I’m so glad Ann simply laughed about the busybody next door.
That's who we get for the runner-up? Yikes.... They need to stop carrying the queens who coast on loud and obnoxious.
I don't know... the challenge is called "evil twin" and the judges are complaining that some costumes are too similar looking. There was nothing twin-like about most of the concepts, except for Kameron's and Eureka's. I get that Kameron's outfits were more Halloween than drag, but I think she nailed the idea. Don't name the challenge "evil twin" if you don't want a good vs evil iteration of the same outfit!
You'd die to get in that pool, you say?
This season is fire! They sure improved so much since AS1.
Catherine portrayed here is not very likable, but rather entitled and arrogant. She is not the reserved and empathetic princess she is usually made out to be. Not sure how I feel. Very Starz-y adaptation of historic events. Why would Elizabeth of York seal her threat with a kiss?
What a dramatic bunch! Interesting that Alyssa's name finally came up. I'm surprised Alex branded her a traitor without any prior leads. Her reasoning can be applied to both Meryl and Amanda. And yet nobody is suspecting Amanda! Fascinating. Hannah is acting ridiculous about Tom's lies, Maddy is just wild, and everyone needs to leave Aaron alone.
While Sweden was a predictable winner, I don’t get why people think a meme song is more deserving to win. It was goofy and fun, but on artistry alone, Loreen’s vocals left everyone in the dust. Sorry Finland, I just don’t see it.
I don't get why people love this episode. It has great visuals and the world is intriguing, but there is no story. A banal episode of two outcasts coming together and insta love out of sheer loneliness. I would love to see what they could do with a feature length though.
I think I got lactose intolerance from so much cheese.
Could have sworn the episode would sign off on XOXO, Gossip Girl
Can’t believe it, Shangela was robbed 100%. Trixie is shady af and I don’t buy the innocent act. She will never have my support.
Why do tv parents tiptoe around their entitled, obnoxious teenagers? Shit like that makes me dread becoming a parent one day.
They should have compressed the first 5 episodes into one hour premiere and led with the whole Fiona thing. I can't believe it took them nearly until the end of the season to actually introduce a plot catalyst. Writing needs a lot of trimming and editing. And normally I like Merritt Wever, but her acting is off balance here. It's like she's not sure which facial expression to settle on during a scene, so she throws in all of them.
Best written episode so far. The monetization of feminism and how it excludes women from less privileged backgrounds was genius. And for the first time we were shown that Gabe can actually be a great editor who brings the best out of his writers. We got some character development here.
Probably the best episode this whole season.
