How did no one point out that using pheromones to seduce people into sex is rape? Someone who is under the influence of pheromones that make them attracted to someone can't consent, that's like saying a person who's so drunk they can't see can consent.
Fantastic? not quite and still doesn’t live up to the first film but definitely surpasses the second one and definitely brings more nostalgia from the Harry Potter films, loved the magical effects, all cast did well. Negatives- less on the humour this time but i guess it’s like the Harry Potter films on going darker the more you go through also felt a little rushed with the plot and that’s pretty much it but over all it was enjoyable and at times warming.
Honestly, the rest of Season 9 that I have watched thus far has been such a slog to get through that this episode was a breath of fresh air. The use of music and the highly stylistic cinematography were highly enjoyable; I love when a piece of media isn't afraid to play with the medium. It will definitely be going on my list of favorite The X-Files episodes.
I'm not sure what I just watched. Was this totally brilliant, or a smelly turd? I... I really don't now.
This is going from bad to worse. I love Star Trek and I hoped with Patrick Stewart it will be better, but every episode makes this even worse.
sure let's revisit the worst episode of the season but marry it with some of the most moronic action sequences AND have Soong go full stereotype villain
gawd
All episodes are wrong ! please fix it !
The episode order needs fixing ASAP
Monsters inc is one of the best Pixar films to date. It's the perfect mix of comedy and heartwarming scenes.
they really killed him omg! i was hoping something would happen! so now i know why people are saying characters really die on GoT
Joffrey Baratheon: "Dog, I command you to go back out there and fight!"
Tyrion Lannister: "You're Kingsguard, Clegane. We must beat them back, or they're going to take this city! Your King's city!"
Sandor Clegane: "Fuck the Kingsguard. Fuck the city. Fuck the king."
The last 10 minutes of this episode is probably one of the most powerful endings I've ever seen! Gave me goosebumps!
The final scene of the episode was definitely repugnant. Another rape? REALLY? [...]
are you even an ally if you don't drop an episode at the beginning of pride month where an uncensored naked dude enters the dickhole of his lover? are you?¿?
Thumbs up if you said "What the fuck..." to your TV before the opening credits.
IT'S THE BLOODY HOUND. GIVE HIM HIS CHICKEN!
Great episode.
Was great to see the Blackfish. And Lady Mormont. Massive respect. Showed 10 times more potential than Tommen did or ever will.
That Arya moment what the fuck. I knew something was gonna happen. Please no. I'm going on a riot if something happens to Arya. Writers please. No :|
Was kinda annoyed with Sansa shitting on Davos like that :/
Overall giving this week an 8/10. It was good, but not outstanding.
Based on the promo there's no way Jamie can take on Brienne xD
Other than the sheer charisma of Chris Hemsworth and likability of Miles Teller, there wasn't much carrying the film. The plot is fairly obvious and uninspired (I hope the book is better) and the characters are all somewhat underdeveloped.
Another mediocre Netflix film. It's a very cookie cutter movie. Actually, for Netflix it was good. It just turns out that a good Netflix film is just mediocre when compared to everything else.
With some tweaks to make things less obvious, this could have gone from mediocre to good. Instead of assuming the audience is stupid and unable to figure out whom the bad guys are, make this an intelligent story where things are only partially explained and left open to interpretation. Add nuance to the story to make it interesting.
As it is, it is good enough to watch once and immediately forget. I would never recommend it, but if someone said they were interested, I wouldn't tell them to avoid it. The very definition of mediocre.
[7.1/10] A bit milder of an episode, but still has its moments. I like Derek getting a little focus, and the show building out his relationship with Bean. There’s something compelling about him being lonely given his pressures and isolation and general unsuitedness to be heir to the throne juxtaposed with Bean being subject to the usual gender essentialism and sense of being usurped in her own family. Sure, it’s a little corny that at the end of the day, she proves how much she cares about Derek by risking her life to save him from a monster, but it’s also a little sweet (and the show nicely adds in that trademark Groening dose of cynicism to take the edge off).
I was less enamored with Zog’s “I wish I had gout” B-story. Luci helping people make bad decisions is always a good tack on this show, but the jokes from Zog eating terrible organ foods didn’t have much mileage in them (beyond rampant grossness, which isn't really my thing) and, aside from the Duke of Twinkletown getting attacked by the octopus, didn’t really go anywhere.
But while Derek’s story underwhelmed a bit, his boyish playing and slapstick with Elfo was cute. Really, the only major weakspot in this one was the giant squid, who seemed like a pretty random obstacle whose presence felt contrived. Even there, I got a kick out of the party barge captain coming back for some humor of the mundane amid the fantastical.
Overall, this is a middle-of-the-road episode at best, but one that’s mostly inoffensive, and has a good premise in terms of the main character relationship it explores.
Shame that the main punchline of this episode is Graham Linehan's (at the time) thinly veiled transphobia
Bode is just annoying at this point. He's the reason the family is getting in trouble 90% of the time...
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Fear Street Part One: 1994’:
Lemme tell you… I loved it! It was nostalgic. It was an homage to so much that has come before (that intro had ‘Scream’ written all over it). But it also had a hefty dose of originality. Great characters you cared about. It took risks. It surprised you. And it was a LOT more mature than I expected it to be. I loved the books way back when, and this made me wanna read them again. Bravo.
I LOVED the LGBT twist in the beginning! Did NOT expect that person to be Sam. Solid execution.
It had a bit of a Hocus Pocus vibe to me, which made the character deaths and the paths into “Rated R” territory that much more effective. It was a weird and welcomed mix.
Bonus Thought: I legit can’t wait for the next one. Super invested.
Its Scream meets The Blair Witch but it still manages to transcend both of those films to become its own thing too. An intriguing setup for the next two Fear Street movies and I for one am looking forward to them.
I am so proudly going to tell my kids that I lived in the time when Community aired on Television.
Eight seasons to find out who Finn’s parents are. I love it.
As a long time fan I was slightly concerned that Steve Coogan’s most famous character being rebooted ran the risk of tarnishing its top-notch reputation.
No need to worry - it’s an inspired move to allow AP onto prime time national telly. After all these years he’s got the break. And he’s done the ‘rags’ part, why not the ‘riches’?
The question is of course, how will he avoid the axe if his trademark tactless and petty behaviour continues?
It matters not, just enjoy the ride while it lasts.
His cringe-inducing antics don’t feel like they were overly scripted, so are credible. His feeble attempts to play the Paxman on the ‘hacktivist’, interrupted by his agonisingly embarrassing attempted chat-up of Emily Maitless. Maitland. That’s what I said.
It’s wonderful to see Lynne get some laughs of her own - the way she verbally crucified Alan’s joke stealing sofa-partner was priceless.
Hm. I don't know. The logician and the children... At the same time, that's silly, adorable and tells you surprisingly much about the Vulcan society. Problem: there's this other civilization and you really don't have any context. Are they somehow important in the sector? What role do they play? Or are they just generic baddies (or so it seems)? Well, in the end there's a twist and an interesting phenomenon is discovered. This philosophical part isn't bad but very shallow
This episode is totally inconsequential. Off they go and next week's episode starts as if nothing had happened.
I like this episode. To begin with, I appreciate they don't waste time on how the Hirogen were able to board Voyager. Of course it shamelessly feeds Hollywood's insatiable hunger for all things WWII and the Nazis in particular and while this could be annoying it's so strangly integrated into the world of Star Trek that I actually like this episode. Plus, at this point, writers know how to work with Seven and the Doctor. It's certainly one of the most memorable and unique Holodeck goes wrong episodes in the franchise. Usually that's holograms who become aware of the simulation, of themselves and somehow gained control of systems outside the holodeck hereby endangering the crew. This story is better written and much more complex. It's more than one of those little holodeck extravaganzas that only serve as an entertaining diversion.
PS: that's probably an awful thing to say given what we Germans are responsible for but the Wehrmacht/Waffen-SS uniforms showed an impeccable sense of style. And the Hirogen look good in them.
This is an interesting episode, and we get to see Jeri Ryan singing, which in itself is a treat :)
However every time I see it I'm bugged by something : the studio settings of 1944 France are very good, reproducing a 1940's French town quite accurately, but in one instance they fail badly : there is a car prominently featured in 2 scenes, a Citroen 2CV "Charleston" a model that came out in 1980, furthermore it's worth mentioning that in any case the original model of the Citroen 2CV was unveiled in 1948, 3 years after the end of World War 2. This anachronism grates and could have been so easily avoided (there are other period related cars in the background that don't clash)
