its about time something actually happened this season
Constant theme of the second season of Dickinson is fame and immortality.
This episode features her first landmark newspaper publication, "I taste a liquor never brewed" (it takes a bit of liberty as the first published poem was "Nobody knows this little rose").
Instead of basking in the glory of success, Emily becomes invisible to everyone. This affords her to eavesdrops on others reading and reacting to her poem. To her dismay, no one truly gets Emily, thus Emily is invisible.
That is, no one except her brother Austin. They love the same woman and Austin is aware of their triangle. In a shocking closing scene, Emily sees her beloved Sue having an affair with unrequited love, Samuel Bowles.
This shocking revelation will no doubt affect her poetry, as she is about to enter her most prolific years.
So far, this season hasn't been as witty and sophisticated as the first season. There's a bit of continuity issue (mainly regarding Sue's attitude) and Emily's obsession with fame is overstretched. But this episode sets things in motion for satisfying final two episodes of the season.
Kudos to Ian, making the case for Bi-polar. It’s something everybody could stand to know a little more about.
The. Best. Superhero. Television. Show. Of. All. Time.
Quality worthy of the big screen. Impressively cinematic.
WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!
I loved everything from beginning to the end... I had goosebumps a few times during the episode and almost cried.
I knew Sharon couldn't be trusted and I'm honestly a little worried.
Once again Marvel has delivered a great series and project!
It's a pretty rare occasion when a show has a character that we're seeing for the first time on screen and they deliver an emotional moment in that same episode and it doesn't feel cheap or a "who cares" situation, but this show managed it with Ted's wife.
To be honest, I only got myself to blame for expecting someone like Doctor Strange or, hell, even Michael Fassbender's Magneto to show up. LMAO THE HILARITY. I'll take the L for that one.
Overall, while the goodbye scene with Vision is very emotional and moving , this final episode seemed quite.......... Idk quiet, I guess? Maybe a little bit half-assed too, which is a big shame. Like, it's really obvious they wanted to wrapped things up quickly.
When Kevin Feige announced all of the MCU TV shows, Wandavision isn't exactly the first show I look forward the most. But then the trailer changed me. As I watched the episodes, I grew more and more invested. I still think Wandavision is a great show, it's just a shame they couldn't stick the landing.
You know what they say: "Sometimes it's not about the destination. It's about the journey."
I feel like this part of the story could have benefited from a little more time (perhaps across a couple of episodes) but it was still a delight and with some fantastic guest stars.
E: It’s taxing lifestyle. A lot of factors that go into success. As I got better, I was very careful that all conditions were exactly right. This person you’re after, he has on overwhelming fantasy life. Fantasies of what he’s done, what he wants to do, how he’s going to improve. These dreams will consume him. Soon the real world won’t even compare.
B: How do we catch a fantasy, Ed?
E: You can’t. If he’s any good, you’ll never see it. He’ll live like any other person, have a relationship, hold down a job.
H: We know killers don’t have the tools to manage real life. They come from marginalized backgrounds, they break under the pressure of what they’ve done. They make mistakes.
E: It seems to me everything you know about serial killer has been gleaned from the ones who’ve been caught.
This episode perfectly encapsulates what the show is, displays the layered generational relationships that are the core of the show and gives great opportunity for all three Gilmore Girls to shine
Beautiful, pointed without being heavy-handed, and full of all that lovely character development I love. Also: NOT ONE TRAINING MONTAGE BUT TWO MONTAGES. TRAINING AND BUDDY BUILDING. /chefs kiss
After being a bit let down by the first episode this one is right back on track, the Berkowitz interview was great, the sequence with Kevin was incredibly intense, had me on the edge of my seat and I just love the team working together analyzing and categorizing the criminal's mind. Wonderful episode, exactly why I love this show so much.
This episode hasn't aired yet as I write this, but I already want a spin-off series with the same title.
Damn, why you gotta have hopeful music with them planning their future as partners like everything is going to work out. Y'all are just mean. That episode was cruel. Brilliantly and beautifully written, but cruel nonetheless. I was mostly crying every other scene and by the end I was a total and utter mess. These characters are too close to my heart, especially Jack. To see what happened that day and how it happened was harder than I thought. And I had not one, but TWO seasons to prepare for it.
My beloved Agents are finally back! It's been so long. I've missed them. And what a rollercoaster of a premiere this was! Including, but not limited to: Agents in space, discount Star Lord, Demodogs (does that make Daisy Eleven?), Jemma upping her sass to critical levels ("I figured it out using magic"), the Monolith's prettier sister, time travel (Doctor Who theme plays in the background), angry smol May walking off a literal hole in her leg, and lighting so bad that I had to lower the blinds in all the windows in my room just to be able to (barely) see what's going on. Seriously, at this point AoS' lighting department consists of one dude with a flashlight and two glowsticks. I guess that's the price we have to pay for all the insane special effects. They probably blew their whole budget on those. Still a great episode though!
I could watch an entire episode (maybe even a full season) of Gina and Captain Holt having a conversation over a couple hundred chess games. Holt's trash talk was a sweet bonus that was, again, shamefully underused.
Two episodes in a row: Gina at the top of her game! They really want us to miss her...
Iain De Caestecker is amazing actor. All I had to say
Farewell, The Paris of People, The Human Form of The 100% Emoji, The perfect state of mind, The Gina Linetti.
Even though this probably isn't permanent, I'm still gonna miss her.
Filler? This episode has more character development than all the previous ones! Man, you people really want action for 50 minutes? Also, I'm not surprise white people don't like when characters talk about race. It makes them uncomfortable. Same reaction to this week's episode of This Is Us. sigh
I'm kind of disappointed yeah, but this is simply because Marvel fans (myself included) hyped every single frame up so much - we came up with a gazillion of theories every week and expected other Marvel heroes/villains to show up at any moment. This is a show about a woman dealing with loss and having to come to terms with her grief and moving on. This was a perfect wrap up to that story. Yes, it's set in the MCU so there needs to be that element - which there was, with SWORD and Agatha - but no one was owed Fox Quicksilver or a Dr. Strange cameo or the Hex making mutants or Mephisto. We should know there wasn't going to be big reveals and much development of the overall storyline of the MCU when that's destined to happen in the movies.
