The moment Rebecca/Kiki's father recognised her in the airport and the both of them hugged... I have never started crying so quickly. What a great season finale filled with so many emotions
THIS, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you do a season finale!
(Damn, I used the safeword...)
Lord knows that if The Office was going to get anything right, it needed to be Jim expressing his feelings for Pam, and boy does it pull that off here. The confession is harrowing, sad, and heartening all at the same time, with Pam's shock and reaction to something she, deep down, already knows, adds to the charged atmosphere. The rest of the episode is fun, as Michael inadvertently inviting two dates to the same event is a bit of cliche but still full of comedy, and the other antics around the work party are enjoyable. But it's that last moment, that pays off so much built up emotion and drama, that really makes this one great.
This episode was soo weird ! I loved it !
This show just gets better and better with every episode
This show reminds me of Thinker Taylor Soldier Spy. You miss a line of dialog and then you are completely lost.
At this point, Annalise actually being Michaela's mother would have been a decent twist....
So, who else thinks that Dutch agent's going to be Katrin's replacement next season?
The most insane eposide in the whole series!!
"Commander Waterford, you've crossed into Canada. We're arresting you(...)" This is the most beautiful thing I heard someone saying, after the sound of June stabbing the shit out of that MF commander
JUST BEAUTIFUL
wendy's storyline was totally disposable
This show is inhabited by broken people. It's depressing and sad, yet the final scene was so sweet.
Please don't make a third season. That was the perfect ending.
The man who rode that train was built weak and born to fail. You fixed him. Now forget about it. Teddy 2.0
Dolores wanting to change everything but herself, Maeve wanting to change herself to influence the world.
What we learned in Phase Space
Dolores is programming and testing and Arnold bot
Or maybe, that's not her (or her cr4-dl consciousness). That's Ford. He needs to have her appearance b/c that's what the real Arnold knew about that conversation.
William thinking his daughter was a host sent by Ford. ROFL!!!
Of course, he was testing her to see if she was a real or host version of Emily sent by Ford as part of the game
Climate control is working
More about the Cradle
Cradle—spelled CR4-DL is "the simulation technology that stores and tests all of our storylines" and ensures customers "get the immersive and dynamic experience [they] deserve." So it's the way Delos test-drives its experiences. Bernard describes it as a "backup," and Elsie calls it a "hive mind" where all the host's consciousnesses are "alive.
Japanese Armistice is sticking with Maeve and the gang
William and Emily's relationship has been...difficult
William confused his wife with his daughter when recounting the story about the elephants in Raj World. Does that say something about his family life, a simple slip of the tongue, or is it something else like MIB is a Host?
Maeve's daughter has new parents
Who didn't see Maeve meeting her replacement? Did she think her daughter was all alone? That was typical of Lee to omit that little piece of information. And what is the Ghost Nation's game?
Ghost Nation wanted Maeve to come with them. Since they protect the guests, there was also more to Maeve than simply being a host.
Akecheta is awake & probably sees that Maeve is too!
Teddy 2.0 is Stone Cold
Dolores is going to regret reprogramming Teddy in the coming episodes.
Her reactions were so funny "oh shit what have I done!"
Teddy is aware that Dolores reprogrammed him. I feel that will be important later.
Ford is inside the Cradle
Ford's back, or at least an approximation of his consciousness in the Cradle. We all suspected Ford would return as a Host despite the flat-out denials from Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Nolan & co.. They pretty much telegraphed his return over the season (he's in the system, briefly surfacing in Hosts e.g. young Ford), but Episode 4 all but confirmed it.
Dolores and Maeve storylines ** is not interesting at all. They're currently paper thin and taking their sweet time to go anywhere.**
The Man In Black's daughter who we know nothing about is a far more compelling character.
The Cradle Is Capable Of So Much More Than We Expected
The Cradle, in essence, is a server that stores memories and consciousness for retrieval. Like a file cabinet, the hosts’ “data” is copied and contained within the server, and can be accessed to run theoretical or training simulations on the robots. The main function of the Cradle, though, is to act as a backup for each of the intricately-crafted hosts; a way for Delos to preserve the work that went into detailing their appearances, their preferences, their mannerisms, the very things that make them so human. Think of it as the Cloud that stores your phone pics.
Those pearls, it turns out, are the container for the hosts’ consciousnesses. But the Cradle itself send commands to the parks, not unlike the way the Matrix papers over glitches with deja vu. And the implications of this functionality go way beyond just data storage. It means that the Cradle itself can run simulations or disrupt the flow of time —if it has a programmer (the host) to program a server farm (the Cradle), illustrated by Bernard getting off the train at exactly the spot he needed to be. The Cradle doesn’t appear to create simulations without a host’s consciousness to guide it.
Do we have a host in the Cradle? We sure do, and because Bernard just uploaded his brain pearl into the Cradle, it could mean that everything we’ve seen in season 2 thus far — the multiple timelines, the weird ways that the characters are interacting with him — are just a simulation. This totally mind-bending but plausible theory was put forth by YouTuber HaxDogma, and in a 10-minute video he makes the case that Bernard has hacked his way into the Cradle, and everything is running from his point of view. In other words, it’s as though we’re viewing everything like Neo did at the end of the first Matrix: as a source code that can be manipulated.
Or (and this is even more sinister), perhaps Robert Ford has been in the Cradle all along, pulling the strings, and driving wedges between Dolores and Maeve with her new powers.
Hasn't anyone noticed that the Meow Meow Beenz app was used identically for a Black Mirror episode? It's basically the same plot but treated differently
So far this is the episode of the year.
One episode ago: "TV is a visual medium. No episode should have that much talking!"
Literally one episode later
25minute monologue
OMG this last episode was my favorite. That last minute i was cover in tears, Brandy barking and Lisa waiting for Tony say good night..
So emotional..
I love After Life
THAT ENDING!!! I AM SHOOOOOOOK
totes emotional and i was anxiety ridden the whole time watching it.
Blimey. After Life 2 is another deep emotional journey through Tony's mind. He keeps trying. And even though he thinks he is a scorpion, he'll always be a frog. And that ending was brutal, fuck me. He almost did it. Fucking Hell. I'm glad he didn't.
"I'll take Groundhog Day."
Man, this show really is my guilty pleasure. I'm usually not a fan of these teen/high-school dramas but there is just something about this show and it's characters that has me falling in love with it every time.
Although this season has been amazing so far, this is one of the best episodes ever. Finally they made me cry again...it's been too long writers!! The last minutes of this episode are so heartwarming that we know this is us can be. Also glad we're done with marc or at least i hope so... Also old Kevin looks freaking HAWT can they please stop making him look so hot haha...Can't wait to see where the story will go to next
Carrie Coon and Regina King both deserve Emmys for that DSD questionnaire scene alone.
Wow, what can one say? Thid brilliant third episode about the Aberfan disaster is just so well done. I must admit that I haven't heard of this tragedy before and that's also why I love the historical aspect of The Crown so very much.
i love the episodes where the group is confined to one location. it brings out the dialog of everyone perfectly.
Forget the plot of the episode, WHAT was up with those weird transitions between scenes? Did a 5th grader edit this for his school project?
I agree that this was kinda unnecessary. I never felt that Villanelle's origins were something the show needed to explore. What I liked the most about this was her dynamic with Bor'ka; Villanelle with kids is always fun to watch. But still, this did feel like a filler episode designed specifically to get Jodie some nominations come award season.
Honestly... this felt a bit unnecessary.
Like this episode was built up just so Jodie could get many awards nominations. Didn't add up much to the story, at least for me.
And also, where's Eve? lol Feel bad for Sandra. Don't think that's fair.
Giving a 3 just because of the final scene, really great acting, but other than that... it's a big NO for me.
the fuck did I just watch? yeah, of course we’re russians play with cow shit and everyone looking like a gloomy goblins. also, the whole family singing Elton John song? really? in homophobic country? haha, funny, tell another one. the last scene was Emmy worthy, but overall the episode is so boring.
The so simple and little things and the Dialoges were everything is so open and truth moves always my heart ... this show is so full of power ...
Has a B99 episode ended in a sad note before? Damn, that was powerful :pensive:
