Well.
Not sure if I keep watching this.
To plain forward, overacting, score is to much in your face and story line thin
if there is no renewal for season 2 this is an absolute best ending, Emmy becomes Dove, Dove becomes Gilbert Power, Gilbert stops Podcasting as it was the thing that destroyed his marriage...
I first read these books just under 20 years ago and wouldn't have dreamed of seeing them adapted like this. There were some less liked changes for me and a few casting duds but the rest made up for it!
I'm glad they dedicated a whole episode to this section, it really deserved it.
Mary's love backstory tweak to falling in love with a woman fit surprisingly well and was beautifully depicted.
I was in tears through Will and Lyra's pain. The actor for Will could have been a bit stronger but crikey, Dafne Keen sure made up for it! Absolutely nailed this character for me.
A beautiful and bittersweet ending. And just as when I finished the book, I didn't want to leave this world.
Once more Marisa carried the show, every other character is just a tragically lacklustre experience. And by every other I do mean every other.
Spoiler alert:
How they didn't explain at all that the dying character in the cube was "the Authority" is just another typical failure by the showrunners.
Kaleb:
‘Can you please help undress me?’
Jeremy:
‘Cut’
“Do you have any lube”? …. “Lisa has some” haha
Jeez that was a tough episode to watch, I thought this was supposed to be a feel good comedy farming show! :cry:
Watchable because of the excellent cast but it definitely feels a shadow of its former self.
How many Muppets had to die for Villanelle's golf outfit?
What's the point of this season?
What is going ON with this show! I usually find Eve and Vilanelle to be very distracting, but today I got bored halfway through and now I don't know all that transpired. This never ever could have happened during season one or two. I don't like the writer change.
I'm mainly watching because I like Eve. And it used to be for V's charms, too, but for one thing, I haven't forgiven her for shooting Eve; and for another, V hasn't been nearly as twinkly incandescent funny this season.
Not that their relationship will heal anytime soon- V is too busy stocking up kills and traumatizing Eve with grisly scenes.
Two of my favourite quotes from the show are are in this episode. One really funny one from Carolyn goes:
“I can’t stand breakfast. It’s just constant egg. Why? Who decided this?”
And another sad one from Villanelle undercover at AA “I hurt myself, I don’t feel it. I buy what I want, I don’t want it. I do what I like, I don’t like it.”
Both stick in my head.
the fart scene and entire bench conversation was a riot. hilarious show :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
For me 1890 has the best story, followed by 2023. Didn’t like the 1941 timeline much yet.
Hilarious from beginning to end with a solid throughline of Bender's disgruntledness with his human compatriots. The all-robot planet was a nice setting for both Trek-ian riffs on weird alien cultures, and some satire aimed at the still salient American xenophobia as well. But apart from the riffs and commentary and good character work with Bender, it's just a damn funny episode. The comedic rhythms of the show aren't settled yet, so the pace is a little slower, but bits like the robot elders saying "Silence" before everything, or Fry obliviously sticking with his "uninhabited planet" line, or Bender trying to get off for Robanukah are just a taste of the laughs in this one. It's striking how funny this show was this early in its run.
Disenchantment, this may not be the greatest masterpiece in history, but it is a series rich in adventures, tales, remarkable and fun characters. I loved following this series
Raise your hand if you replayed the "I was wrong" dance.
ineffable husbands to ineffable dads. we love the growth
It saddens me to see them part ways, but it feels right, given how things have developed throughout this season.
Pete was so much fun in the first season, but a true party popper on this second one.
The show runners seem to have had a change of heart between seasons, and a hilarious S&M show was turned into a sappy drama. This lead to what truly feels like the series finale I did not want, but one that fitted the tone of the second season like a glove. Unfortunately.
I like the whole vibe to the story so far and the direction they could take it. I like how anyone can possibly be a skrull but honestly they could have did more leading up to this in the past movies. Kind of how Peter Parker said he was with Nick fury during no way home but it wasn’t really him. They could have did more with making Nick fury coming back to earth a big deal too.
So deliciously, hilariously meta, especially as it piles on the layers towards the end. I imagine Salma Hayek having a grand old time delivering some of these lines lol "I am a dyslexic, talented actress with questionable English! ...Doesn't my asshole have any rights?!"
A nicer ending than the books. The book ending left me with more questions than answers. This ending is more satisfying. Yet still too faithful to the books ending. While it’s a more happy ending there’s still questions in the end that were never answered.
Spoiler warning: For instance. Season 1 teased us season long that the Quagmire parents were the Baudelaire parents. Yet, now that we know they aren’t. The writers wrote them out basically and they are never reunited with their children.
I guess since it’s a coming of age story. About children learning to not need the help from grown-ups and growing up. So just like the books. The Baudelaires and Quagmires aren’t reunited with parents that are teased to be alive.
I felt personally attacked when Charlie said “she’s not normal, she’s at the prime of her life with no boyfriend and no friends”
Did you check the anus? Ha! Walter asking what we all were thinking!
And I’m curious, was it Olivia the one who turned off the lights or was it also Peter? Cause I feel like he’s an experiment baby too so maybe both have powers?
And of course Walter wrote the ZFV and doesn’t remember, that’s so walter
The guest stars in this one are awesome. Amy Poehler as GOB’s wife and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the blind lawyer both are perfect.
Most meta episode ever?
I loved the shot the writers took at people that want more space adventures like in season 1. "What does that even mean?", lol
Didn't Janeway memorise all conduits and Jeffrey's tube of Voyager but doesn't know where a Junction Room is?
This tried a bit to hard to be a Voyager version of the TNG episode 'Lower Decks' (and that's all the more disappointing given that Voyager has ALREADY DONE this back in season 1's 'Learning Curve').
It followed a very standard and predictable plot. The inexperienced crew go on a trip with the Captain and a life-threatening situation occurs. They fight through their fears and doubts to prove to themselves that they are able to handle a crisis. Blah blah blah. We've seen it all before. Where the episode does stand up a bit is that the new crew members are all fairly unique people with intresting quirks. Unfortunately they're not really very easy to like, which derails things. Harren in particular continually speaks to Janeway in an incredibly disrespectful way and I'm surprised that he gets away with it all.
I'd be pretty happy to see more of Tal and Billy, but this is Voyager: I'm not expecting to see/hear of them ever again. Maybe I'll be surprised.
Fun little appearance by musician Tom Morello.
The whole episode seems to be written to convince Dwayne Johnson to make a (very) brief appearance. And it worked as, according to imdb, this episode had the highest ratings of the season.
Which I find rather sad because people were probably tuning in to see The Rock and not Star Trek. And since neither his role nor the story itself is memorable you can ignore this one. It's also quite easy to recognize when they used the stunt-double for Jeri and when it's her.
