Alex' coming out was so pure/real and important fml. Yes straight ppl this is how you develop a gay character. That storyline is real as fuck IT HAPPENS IN THE FUCKING REAL LIFE so get over the "the writers just want to please the gays or can the writers stop writing stories that have nothing to do with their sexual preference?". We need/deserve this rep. And finally, i'm so glad the writers pulled this off i'm really looking forward to see maggie falling for alex ahhhhh fuck
Did you notice that Rachel's movements in the mirror reflection and hers, sitting in front of the mirror, were off? :D Anyways, I actually teared up a bit during this episode. Especially when Rachel won the Tony. I am not a big fan of her marring Jesse, but I guess I can be ok with that. Tina was gorgeous in this episode! I am so glad she and Artie got together. I was happy to see everyone reunite. Goodbye Glee! I forgive you for becoming a mess. I'll miss you!
This episode could have been written by the Legends of Tomorrow team...
I just can't believe how perfect the last minutes were. The two episodes final were amazing, made me relive all these years I watched Glee. Just beautiful <3
Pride Month 1 film a day challenge:
#2
Where do I even start with this film.................................................... Gosh it's so lovely, it's making me want to cry.
I'm gonna have to do bullet-points cus there's so much i want to talk about.
The fact that this film is based on a novel written by a woman, it's written for screen by two women, directed by a woman, and has two incredible female leads.
The way it gets w|w love so perfectly right (probably due to reasons explained in point 1). It's shown through subtle looks and growing tension, through friendship, understanding and romance. The characters fit so well together. Each of them is a complex, multifaceted, well built character with their own struggles and strength, and they each bring out the best in one another. Jean helps Lydia see her worth, helps her see she can stand on her own. Lydia helps Jean let herself go, conquer her past and breathe out.
Charlie and the bee subplot - honestly amazing. This film said gay rights and bee rights and literally that's all we, the human race, should care about too. The recurring idea of a beehive being composed of mostly females, living in perfect harmony. The recurring theme of bees listening to you, and keeping your secrets. The way Charlie finds purpose in keeping them. The way the bees freaking save the day!!!!!!!!! Oh my god... a dream literally a dream.
Still on Charlie: the way the film destroys toxic masculinity with the figure of his absent father and the way he tells Charlie he needs to be a man, just because he cares about nature.
Annie's subplot: telling yet another woman's story, and adding a interracial relationship too. The scene where they force her miscarriage is haunting and really drives the point of how little women could dictate their own lives then home.
The photography!!!!!! Rural Scotland's a breathtakingly beautiful scenery, but there are countless gorgeous shots all around (when Jean's watching Lydia take a bath........................................... and she looks back......................... poetic cinema).
The only reason I'm not giving this a 10 is, whilst i understand the ending, i still don't think there was a big enough reason for them to end up apart. Just let them be together for god's sake.
9/10
God bless the super trashy show that was my first exposure to queer people like me c:
Probably one of SyFy's best character driven shows in a while. Deeply talented cast, chilling storyline that stay with you even after the show ends. I Loved this show to pieces and miss it so much. But it ended beautifully.
"How do you do that with your voice?" :D :D
Am I supposed to take Davos serious??? Because I don't. I think he is a terrible character and a bad choice of casting.
I actually have no idea how I feel about this.
A lovely movie, though a bit disappointed that this film—in my opinion—doesn't live up to its hype.
All I can say is, Marissa Gold deserves better.
I for one like these kind of trippy, one-off episode. I enjoyed this more than some of the recent case-of-the-week episodes. Also, it was nice seeing THAT character back again.
you know how mr dickinson fell asleep during the show? that's how i felt abt this episode and this season in general.
I miss season 1 :(
but that kiss sure was the best thing and we need more
The "Who is the New Guy" song is so f*king meta, I love it
Decent adaptation of the book, but not quite on the same level. Regardless, still pretty damn good. You'll need tissues.
What an amazing series ending to a great show!! After all the pain because of the death of his wife and child, Jane finally gets the love and fulfillment that only a family can provide once more. So happy for Jane & Lisbon!!!
I'm happy we got back Maia. :) It was not the same series without her.
[6.8/10] I didn’t really care for the major story featuring Moira and Johnny each wanting to run for town council. There’s some mild commentary in the idea that Johnny doesn't really want to do it until he hears Moira’s named being bandied about for the open seat, and that Moira doesn’t want to do it until she hears that Jocelyn, her imagined rival and local measuring stick, is doing it. But very little of it generated any laughs for me, and this show picks up and drops storylines like this one so willy nilly that it’s hard to be too invested.
I was also, for once, pretty nonplussed by the David/Stevie story. The prospect of the two of them going out to a random bar to be one another’ swingman is a solid premise. But it doesn’t really amount to much. There’s something intriguing when they give each other the look and try kissing, only to realize that it doesn't yet feel right. But still, another undercooked subplot.
But it’s topsy-turvy day because, once again, I really liked Alexis’s story. Her not knowing how to deal with a bad break-up, and reaching out for solace to the closest things to girlfriends she knows -- Twyla and Stevie -- is an interesting look for her. She’s not shy about trying to manufacture these relationships, but I like her inadvertent honesty when she basically admits she wants to be admired and complimented.
Stevie teaching her about the importance of “me time” in a roundabout way is the episode’s most interesting scene, and I like the fact that Alexis takes it to heart. It’s hard, but her choosing not to go out even though she’s on the rebound, and cleaning up her room instead, is a sign of unexpected growth and maturity. Happy to see more of it.
Overall, this is the weirdest of episodes because the stories involving Johnny, Moira, and David didn’t do much for me, but Alexis saved the day.
Sly was especially whiny, I get that is a comic relief for the plot but it's seriously getting old. It's been three years, maybe it's time to man up a little.
Also, a very sweet and emotional episode, despite all the action and gunshots.
