Seems a bit “convenient” that the writers choose to have Lisa be absolutely heart broken about being pregnant, not wanting to get an abortion and then her body just doing it on its own.
Oh wait, those aren’t even legal anymore in the US right?
CGI trying to make people look younger still sucks! Please just stop trying until it works better.
The soundtrack is fantastic. All those songs from the Fallout games. Having fun so far!
It feels like the writers threw a bunch of random ideas to see what sticks. It's frustrating
The day that Ben Affleck stops being Batman is the day that Batman comes back to become the best superhero films of all. This guy with 0 acting skills is destroying it. Too many awesome films before him to let it pass.
I like to think of myself as having cognitive functions that generally work okay, but I have to admit that I've been thoroughly stumped by the relative chronology of these last three episodes. Did the two Holiday episodes exist in an alternate universe? Did they time skip ahead? If so, why did the time skip back for this episode? Were the Holiday episodes, in fact, a dream? I know Good Trouble has been doing funky things with chronology since the very beginning, but that's generally been within the confines of single episodes. Someone please explain this thing to me, because apparently I'm too dense to grok what's happened here.
This is how DC's Movies should have been made. It's action sequences are insanely awesome. Amber Heard is drop dead gorgeous like a goddess in this movie. Jason Momoa is born to play Aquaman. Perfect castings. Don't miss this amazing movie guys.
These are just my thoughts and I'm not an expert whatsoever
Pros: actors and actresses, photography, scenery, colours.
+ Benedict and Eloise are lovely and their stories are the most interesting at the moment, either because I'm curious about how they'll tell certain situations or because I have no idea where they'll go. (I didn't read the books)
+ In general I liked the characters, I don't likelike all of them, but I like how they're built. They're not the reason I didn't appreciate the show.
+ Sibling's scenes:
Eloise and Benedict smoking, Daphne Anthony and the warm milk, Colin in general, Eloise and sweets...
CONS:
1) Plot: I found it full of clichés, ridiculously predictable and absurd at the same time. If you look to a list of romantic/drama clichés and then you put them in line you have the plot of the series. It's also true that sometimes very predictable plot are very enjoyable because the narration of the facts is compelling. For me, this is not the case. I found episode 4 absurdly ridiculous.
Instead, despite the fact I got it since Ep 5-6, I liked the revelation at the end of the season. Again, I'm not an expert. This is just what I've liked and what I didn't.
2) Absence of disclaimer or tw at the beginning of episode 6
3) Absence of Simon's point of view regarding what happens in episode 6
4) Costumes: I didn't like the costumes at all, they looked modern, but I'm not an expert so instead I advise to watch Karolina Żebrowska's video regarding that department.
I'm so done with Jack ALWAYS treating Kate like shit and making her cry and feel guilty... He's such an asshole
The amount of negative comments on here is wild. The fact that Michelle Yeoh is part of this cast and they said the acting in this was bad is even wilder.
There were complaints that this lacked a story. It’s literally a movie broken up into pieces and follows basic story telling. You might not agree with the story but one was told. Yes I’m a bit confused to how this fits into the original lore about human witchers. Do I think this change ruins this limited series? No.
I can agree with some that mentioned time. I don’t know if this was days, weeks, or months from the moment we met the Lark to the moment she killed her love. Also their romance was the writers banking on us seeing them in proximity and assuming a romance bloomed. It was lazy and personally I couldn’t see the love. I understand why they would need to have some type of love but they could have done that better.
Loved the bards songs.
This season feels like its back peddling on Anne's feelings for Miss Walker and I don't like it!
And Thomas is horrible this season! I know it's his bastard uncle driving it but they're really painting him darkly too :(
The canal and railway stuff is fascinating. Ofc we know railways did win out in the end but you never think about how that changeover happened! We had a walking/cycling route that ran between villages where I grew up that we called the canal path. It wasn't until I got a bit older I realised it was literally that. A canal which had been filled in and was now a concrete pathway. So much change and innovation can been seen all around us in England.
I was expecting a gay scene but ok
Kind of a mixed bag, I wanted to like this more.
I love how non judgemental it is, they could’ve easily taken the route to criticize the system and make a point about how these people need financial support from the state (like Sorry to Bother You, for example).
Instead, it presents a balanced perspective of both the struggles and charm of this lifestyle.
Also, the characters are interesting, the acting is great and it’s shot extremely well.
However, I find it quite baffling how nobody seems to want to point out the obvious flaw of this film: it lacks drama and .... well, a story.
There is no progression to the characters or the events in this film.
In other words, you could rearrange a lot of bits and it wouldn’t make a single difference.
As a result, the pacing kinda drags, and I started to check out halfway through.
This probably should’ve been a documentary instead.
5/10
Despite it being visually and conceptually stunning, the film turned out to be extremely slow and actionless for my taste.
Many people think that the aforementioned positive qualities outweight the negative, but personally, I think that narrative must prevail over visuals,soundtracks, effects or symbolisms.
i mean if they blow up the bomb they never get to the island so they never blow up the bomb and at some point they crash on the island... they're fucking up the timeline
The godawful fake snow is getting on my nerves.
4 episodes wasn't enough haha. I loved it especially the extra scene. Can't wait for the next Witcher season
The elves' sight is so keen that they can see beyond the planet's curvature.
OKAY BUT THIS SCENE WOW
Where is my mother?
I ate her
I didn't even know that was possible
Miss Walker looked positively luminous this episode. Its so infuriating watching her family plot against her like that.
Gemma Whelan pulls the best facial expressions in this show. Comedic gold always and really lovely conversation between Marian and her aunt. It's nice that Anne has such loving family members at least.
Best episode of the season. It was like they made this episode just for me. The Moiraine/Lan foreshadowing is breaking my heart.
Here’s the issue I have with this god saving the world stories. If god could heal Frannie than why wouldn’t god prevent her from falling into the well. The whole concept is stupid & makes no sense.
I really love that during this entire episode the women kept speaking up against all the arrogant men around them! It’s just so amazing to see how they’re all growing their own voice and opinions, especially on matters that are reeking of sexism, classicm or just plain coldheartedness. I hope they’ll all continue down this road and won’t be silenced again.
Also, it doesn’t hurt that I love to see Robert be put in his place. God knows how much this man deserves it
Well, this was the final nail in the coffin for me: I despise Lord Grantham with all my being.
Cora is absolutely right; Sybil is dead because him and Sir Philip were too arrogant to admit that Doctor Clarkson knew better. Their dominant stubbornness killed Sybil. Robert killed his own goddamn daughter because he refused to listen to the doctor, all so he wouldn’t offend Sir Philip. And all because he didn’t want to listen to any medical explanations as he thought it was “vulgar” to discuss the female body.
And when she died? He didn’t even shed a tear. He didn’t even really seem to care. He’s a horridly selfish and utterly disgusting person. I can’t believe I used to love him in the first season, because he’s been a prideful, narcissistic, sexist, selfish pig for a while now. But this final act of him causing Sybil’s death really killed just any love I might have still had for him. I’m just done with him.
