Who would've know that in 2020 we would be facing an actual pandemic (convid-19), huh?
#StayAtHome
Oh, shit.
I mean, they're almost certainly not dead, but still. Wow.
wow they managed a whole episode without making fun of minorities? this is the first episode that i actually enjoyed throughout
second time watching it loved it much more. i found it too confusing the first time but watching it knowing the plot already actually makes it a more concise and clean story than on your first watch. carol is literally my whole life i would die for her and her cute smile PLEASE
8/10
The "important case" was a bit of a non-event but the Shepherd family meal was fun, and it's always wonderful to see the brilliant Tyne Daly.
I really liked this episode once again. But it was different, a lot of humor and that end on the foreground Lena's parent saying that they might loose the Adams Foster House (:o) and on the background everyone dancing…
Major bonus to the fake arrest, knowing the Fosters that could easely have not been stripper!!
16 year old Brandon having sex with an adult is treated as rape, but a 15 year old Ana having sex with an adult isn't?
violet is a bitch even when she's not being a bitch
Stupid "heroes never can kill their friends" rule U_U
Yeah Steve trying to get with DJ just after her husband died is still creepy. Since he's always reminding her that she is now single and he is single. While her husband died in a fire ?
I can't bring myself to enjoy a show that represents fascism as the best way to survive. I'm totally against this.
I want Tamsin for my birthday too!!!
RIP the 100 u were ok
So can we agree now that relationships don't work for Kara and please not show something with Jimmy or Winn next week? I 'm willing to wait til the end of the season but if this back and forth stuff goes on I don't think I would want to watch another season.
I didn't like this episode that much. That Lord guy is to preposterous
Fix this mess now! Save the show please!
Good episode, painful to watch...
Good, but totally spare episode...
I was not expecting too much chemistry between Jenny and Kitty bc come on it's Alexis Bledel she had no chemistry with all her lovers in Gilmore Girls. Anyway, I liked the movie in some ways, the intention was good, Grace Gummer's character made me laugh (thank you Meryl for the genes), but the writing was too poor. And I didn't even get started with Jenny's awful straight parents! 7/10.
Didn't like the first one, I loved this! Much much better, I understand why they changed the things they did comparing to the book, and it worked really well.
omg I'm really freaking with this séries, how u guys can do with me? summer finale? really? and my heart? how stay? broken? thanks for this, I'm in love for chasing life, make me see the life in another perspective.
Ew those creep on Craigslist... Gross!!!
I enjoyed this one more than the 1st part. But on general: 3 movies is just too much for this story (or at least if they do it like this) and this reflects badly on scenes that are simply too long. Since the first movie simply covered less story, it tended to get very slow paced and kinda boring. The 2nd movie (luckily) covers a bigger part of the story, so this does not happen anymore. Or at least in a less obvious way. Soome action scenes are still too long, for example the barrel ride chase and the fight with Smaug.
Now here comes my critical disapproval (or the rant.)
I did not understand why, with so much time, they had to cut a lot of stories short or removed completly in favour of those long scenes. Beorn's story is cut so short that you barely get to know him (he was one of the characters I looked forward to the most.) The same goes for the conversations betweet Bilbo and Smaug. It now ended up being a massive chain of action events after the initial (good!) conversation, in stead of Biblo earning the respect of the dwarfs after stealing something from Smaug first. The dragon never met with Thorin as far as I know, and goes to laketown after Bilbo betrays his trust by stealing from him. Also, the dwarfs already learn about the ring after Bilbo saves them from the spiders in Mirkwood. Another crucial part in them getting to trust and respect him more. Thorin turning on Biblo had no emotional effect at all with the setting they chose to follow in the movie.
The one part where I thought Jackson did a good thing with expanding an unrelated story was with expelling the dark force (Sauron) from his hideout. This is barely mentioned in the book and imho merely an excuse for Gandalf to leave the party (since LOTR wasn't written yet.) In hindsight of the big LOTR trilogy Tolkien published later, and of course the movies, this is a nice extension in the story.
I did miss Saruman though, I thought all the wizards helped fight Sauron/The Necromancer and barely defeated him (but I can be wrong about that.) My point being, if P. Jackson wanted some awesome action, he just had to put an all out wizard fight in it, in stead of the 'itunes visuals' battle between Gandalf's light and Sauron's darkness.
Concluding; with 2,5 hours and 3 movies there is plenty of time to get these vital plot points in the movie. If they had placed more of the story in part 1 and leave out the completely irrelevant Elven women Tauriel for example. First use the crucial information, if you have screentime left after doing that, than expand scenes or throw in extra characters.
I have no idea how long those battle scenes are going to be in Part 3, since we only have the battle of Laketown and the battle of the 11 armies left, but I am afraid it is going to be a very different ending, or just a very stretched out (read: boring) one.
The main point Peter Jackson missed in this story, or so it seems, is that this is Bilbo's story, and not the story of a group of dwarves that coincidentally have a Hobbit in their midst.
Well, that's as much as the story goes, obviously that's my main point :P
Now on the the positive things:
Smaug was very well done, loved his voice and how he behaved. Great job. Really satisfactory how he turned out to be on screen. Loved every second of him. He is intelligent, cunning, strong, vengeful, selfish and greedy. Pretty much how I imagined him.
Martin Freeman was doing a fantastic job too, such a respite after 3 movies of Elijah Wood moaning. No flashbacks to Sherlock Holmes, where he does an amazing job as well.
And also the visuals and sound are top notch once again.
Fun and enjoyable series with a lot of music.
But seriously, can EVERYONE sing in that town? xD I counted 2 main cast members that do not join in with the music, that's 90% pro or amateur singers. Is that really realistic?
last episodes are back in the same amazingness from s01
man this shit became so annoying in season 2. fucking S with her fucking "hey love, hey chicken". hey, SUCK MY BALLS. all the characters aside tatyana (she's BRAVO) are so annoying it's not even funny
This was a brilliant show. Very funny.
Only one thing I hate about this one actually; they call themselves a "species"
@alixaxel: I haven't watched it myself, but i heard that Spartacus http://trakt.tv/show/spartacus witch airs also on the network Starz! is very good. I assume that BenFranklin is talking about that one.
