This episode is a 9 just for the Taishi swimsuit reaction alone! (and for Chika's play of it too, of course)
It's the third time I've seen this episode and I still don't think I have ever seen a more disturbing death scene in my entire life
I don't think I've ever been this bored watching a show with so many sex scenes. But then again I've never seen Fifty Shades.
This is interminably slow and I watch it on 1.4x speed.
I'm seeing some negative reactions in here. Well, I quite liked it tbh. Had me glued to the screen the whole time. Maybe I don't remember the quality of seasons 1-5 or maybe I'm just happy with little, who knows. Everyone seems to hate this season and I have to say I'm not 100% happy with it. BUT. I really liked this episode. Anyway, what can I say.
If you enjoy watching people gawking at things, smiling at things and generally being awkward every scene I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
For me it was yet another dredge through a swamp of annoyance as I see unlikable characters speak out of term, nonsensical plots revolvin around one person's rebellious and arrogant persona and lackluster solutions to said "problems". The humor falls flat, the canon is fucked, goddammit.
I liked the Georgiu scenes cause she seems to be more like the viewer and I enjoyed people finally putting Burnham in her place even though if it were me she would be thrown in the darkest and deepest brigg.
And yes, I know: Why do you watch it then? And honestly I do not know. Masochism I guess.
If you didnt cry for Data, even if you saw what he was doing coming, then screw you bruh! The gang is back together for one final round, and if you don't get why that's awesome, get the fuck outa here!
Here we go again - another mystery type show that will get cancelled before any answers or conclusions to the story.
Broke in and out of prison in less than 48 hours? Eat your heart out Michael Scofield!
When you order a pepperoni pizza and they deliver a pepperoni pizza, do you complain they didn't serve you filet mignon? This film is the pepperoni pizza of action films. If you want an action film, this has got it. It's not especially new or revolutionary or poetic, but at least it's got action from beginning to end which is more than many other action films of late.
I shouldnt say this, but this Daemon-Rhaenyra thing turned me on.
On the surface this film is about a group of people who have been labelled “villains”, working together to save the world. But really, this film is about one man and one man alone, he isn’t strong, but yet he defies all odds and sacrifices his life to save his friends. His only power is his bravery, he is the driver of the van and the main character of this film, Milton.
Every episode this season is absolutely Terrible! CBS, please just stop! Discovery is done. I love the Star Trek shows & this ain’t it! Just call this prog discovery & leave the Star Trek bit off, coz discovery isn’t even close to the high standards the normal Star Trek series has set.
Filoni and Favreau have done it folks in my world. Let me have the shows and the kids can have the new movies. Good compromise.

How did I not see that? O.o
As soon as Mikkel open up that present and it was the book, I knew.
What the fuck.
What an awesome Twist!
Did not see that one coming...
And he killed himself, because otherwise he wouldn't have traveled back through time in the first place.
So he forced himself literally into Suicide... O.o
Poor boy.
At first I felt kinda sorry for Hannah...
At first. If I would have known that she was a bitch since, I don't know... always!
Horrible person.
I saw that Preacher and i knew something isn't right with him.
And then he told Mikkel he was Noah. It shocked me.
And then he was in the car. Same fucking age! O.o
Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!
"Ich möchte mich mit Ihnen über Zeit unterhalten."
I think we all whant to talk about time right now! XD
Brilliant Episode! Didn't expected this kind of complexity.
Love it.
The Sun, Moon and stars all aligned. This episode and season are some of the best Trek I’ve watched in a long time.
I liked how they addressed the subplot of M'Benga's daughter versus miraculously finding a cure for her and it was clearly a chance for the actors to show some different, sillier sides to themselves. Hard disagree with the low-rated comments -- this episode clearly embodied the spirit of TOS.
Look, I'm very much in favor of giving directors the creative freedom to put their own spin on whatever they're adapting.
In fact, I think it's quite shallow and close-minded to judge an adaptation against its source material, pretending as if that's meant to be some holy grail of perfection.
That being said: the whole appeal of the Uncharted games in the first place is that they feel like a mix of Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible, with this sassy, horny, shit-talking protagonist at the center of it.
This movie captures neither of those aspects, and replaces them with basic movie tropes.
It doesn't feel like the aforementioned franchises. Instead, it looks and feels like your generic, throwaway action movie that usually stars The Rock (e.g.Rampage, Red Notice, Skyscraper).
Tom Holland plays Spider-man with attitude. He's not playing (a younger version of) Nathan Drake.
Mark Wahlberg plays Mark Wahlberg.
Like, why was this project treated like a tax write-off?
It has everything a Hollywood executive could want: the source material is cinematic, action packed, fun, and best of all: it has a built in audience.
This could've easily been the next big summer franchise if this was given a proper treatment. It should be much easier to get this right than other videogame based adaptations.
So why is Avi Arad producing this? Why is Ruben Fleischer directing this? Why is this script burning through four games of material? Why is the dialogue so clunky and unfunny? Why is the casting so lame? Why does it look like plastic, when the cinematographer of this thing shot Last Night in Soho and Oldboy?
Fuck.
3.5/10
I've just finished the series and I don't have words to describe how amazing this show is. The soundtrack, the action, the violence, the jokes, the characters, the CGI, the chemistry are all 10/10. Besides the amazing acting from John Cena, I really loved Freddie Stroma's character Vigilante, which can see having a spin-off in the future.
Warner and DC really found their "gold mine" with James Gunn and I'm glad they are giving him the freedom to create anything he wants.
Peacemaker now is anti-hero and I can't wait to see more of him and the 11th Street Kids!
PS: I still cannot belive that part of the Justice League appeared in the last scene basically to confirm Aquaman f**** fish...
I don't see why many are still confused and hate the timeline. Yeah it's all mixed but it's intentional and the bigger picture is worth it when all the perspectives are shown in the end. You don't have to be a Sherlock to understand this show wtf
Now we don't need to have a black screen saying present and past or X days/years later now do we?
AND IT'S CONFIRMED!! You don't understand how much I enjoyed hearing Eugene (from Mr. Sunshine)'s voice come out from behind that mask during these episodes ahaha.
Lev from The Last of Us 2!
Oh come on... what an over-convenient plot twist to make Maeve leave her phone so that Isaac could delete the message. I thought this show was better than this.
Some people are making a fuss that the timeline is confusing. Since this is the internet it gets blown out of proportion. You get a clear hint in one episode this is happening and its easy to figure it out afterwards. That being said, just watch it! It´s really good!
I hope Darhk slaughters Felicity.
Dragon ball GT is not true now
Great starting.
Whoever didn't catch the Sarah Connor line from the actual man himself should be banned from the site!
Don't get everyone's issue, people seem to think this is season 2 of Squid Game or something aha, it's a reality show, of course it's not gonna have an in depth plot and 'characters', I think people genuinely believe this is meant to be the second season. I actually had fun with this, went in with the lowest expectations are don't care for reality shows and actually managed to have some fun with it!
Dreams. Teamwork.. The greatest underdog story in a while.
This is a typical Nam Goong Min drama "Stove League " is the Chief Kim and Doctor Prisoner of sports. I have seen many baseball anime , tv shows and movies but this is the first drama that focuses on off-season and less on the games.
Plot twists and cliffhangers are front and center of Hot Stove League (Stove League). Sherlock-esque, the Main Lead (Baek Seung Soo) solves each turn, mostly on his own, with the big reveal happening after the resolution. Just through pure storytelling, the drama delivers quite an emotional punch, which is surprising given its subdued character development. Do not let Stove League go under your radar with its compelling and heartwarming message.
This drama hits all the right notes. Folks who trivialize saying 'this is Moneyball version of K-drama' are grossly downplaying the depth of this show. There is so much happening in each episode. The first episode instantly sets-up an intriguing plot and every episode unravels something interesting or tackles a deep rooted issue.
The realism and relatability of the niche topic of off-season baseball highlights the main strength of Stove League. No challenge seems ridiculous, though some resolutions are a tiny bit far fetched. There is a real feeling of distress with each downturn and a huge sigh of relief with each problem solved. It makes the drama easy to look forward to on a weekly basis.
Although its set against a Sports (Baseball) backdrop it isn't simply a Sports story. Please don't turn away thinking its a Sports drama. Infact there is hardly any on-field action through its 16 episodes length. It focuses more on the management side of the team and the problems that pop-up after years of under-performance. Along the way you may even pick up few useful tips on topics such as negotiation, presentation skills and general management.
The only drawback is that so much time is spent on presenting and solving each issue, which leaves little time for other types of character development. There is little comedy or romance; like most of Nam Goong shows ;but it is satisfying and the ending is like nothing another drama has ever done before. The lack of character growth is worse for the female lead, Lee Se Young, who mostly gets dragged through BSS’s antics. Luckily, the “main” side character of each plot arc gets significant development in comparison. This is doubly true for the antagonist, Kwon Kyung Min.
Tight storytelling makes it easier for the actors to play their role while weak character developments hurts their ability to shine. Baek Seung Soo’s past frequently appears on screen, and the actor Nam Goong-Min admirably plays his past-self well in contrast to his present character. Unfortunately, Park Eun-Bin’s character does not get enough opportunities to perform. Even supporting characters get more character development as their arcs are completed over the course of 1-3 episodes. In that sense, the supporting cast did a great job of acting given their window to shine. Oh Jung-Se especially left a good impression by the conclusion of the drama.
Stove League, as mentioned, is a solid watch, especially as it aired, but it does lose much of its shine when the outcomes are known. On the other hand, the feel good nature of the overall message cannot be overstated. So, I will recommend another hardworking drama, Chief Kim, which shares the same male lead and a similar character vibe (i.e. talented and misunderstood) as I fondly remember Hot Stove League. For those that prefer comedy to distress this may not be great but whenever the dreams achieve a goal you feel like you have achieved one too.
Don’t listen to the people saying DD is “ruined” from this episode, apparently they’ve never read the comics OR remember the show (or expect someone to dump all their trauma onto a character they just met in a legal comedy? Some people are really writing these reviews without a single actual critical lens).
This was a fun episode and I had a great time - though one of my biggest criticisms is the overarching plot that they’ve been trying to establish. It has a lot of potential, but the pacing of this storyline has been off for me the entire show. Besides the CGI it’s one of my biggest gripes, and I felt it again towards the end of this episode. There’s only one episode left and I really don’t know that it’s going to get concluded in a way I feel is satisfying, though that’s something I’ll have to wait until the finale to properly review.
Besides that though I had such a great time - it was SO great seeing Matt again and Leapfrog was a funny inclusion. Despite my above reservations I’m excited for the finale and seeing how this is going to go.
