I just wanna know how tf they built that bridge in the dark.
My absolute favorite part of this episode? (spoiler) That that terrible theme song was gone(/spoiler)
Now that's the theme music they shud have had from the start instead of the pixie dust one we've had to suffer
The new intro is the best thing about these Mirror episodes, everything else is just... NOPE.
Ridiculous plot and Archer is as useless as a leader as always.
What a snooze fest. Like someone mentioned , if you want to know the main plot, just watch the last 10mins of every 1 hour episode.
The rest is just filler.
another worthless episode. Another hour and we haven't progressed further in the story.
The episode is one hour long and only 10 minutes or less are about the actual case...
I don't care about Jodie Foster's daughter, Navarro's sister, Hank's romance scam, the newbie's family problems, the creepy lonely lady.
I feel that I'm watching an Alaskan soap opera.
The frozen scientists premise was impressive at the begining, but now it's kind of lost. And they added the Annie storyline and mixed the 2 cases together. I doubt that we'll find out what happened in either case
Jesus christ, don't let anyone involved with the writing for this season work in TV again.
What the f**k is this sh*t, start of female Sopranos? That reveal was almost as bad as the 8th season of Game of Thrones. A decent season up until this episode, however no matter how many times "time is a flat circle" gets repeated in this season, nothing can compare to Pizzolatto's masterpiece of season 1. Btw, Jodie Foster was the best part of this disaster of a season.
So the serial killer police ladies let the indigenous uprising get away with mass murder, in a ridiculous and heavy handed revenge fantasy against nasty colonizers.
Really, really, really bad.
1- What about the spiral on forehead of the scientist?
2- What about the tongue? =possible hint of supernatural powers of justice.
3- Why do did dears jump from the ledge in the first episode?
4- Why the same spiral from season 1? Location of these places are so far away. And this time nature showed these spirals not humans.
5- Was Tylor Sheridan involved in this? = Random sightings of 'Polar' Bear.
6- Is Navarro dead or alive? They showed her as walking into snow but she is present at Danvers house, also Navarro is missing......
7- What about the research to cure cancer and other stuff.....
8- Cleaning Ladies saw the star shaped weapon and understood everyone in Tslal station was involved in Annie's killing not some of them but all of them. How did they come to that conclusion?
9- Was Danvers the Mail Order Bride from Russia, she was always checking phones for notification of Tinder , Fantasy Football etc.
I don't they are trying to show that its 2024 and everyone uses phone as a normal thing, because no else was getting notification and saying random things as reason for notification.
The original pilot episode of Star Trek lacked the intensity, wit and charisma of TOS's compelling characters. However, you'll be able to identify some of the elements that made this show great and why it stood the test of time. It's worth the watch, even though a huge chunk of it was used in the subsequently released two-part episode "The Menagerie".
I like how when a new pirate is introduced, they show that pirates wanted poster on the screen and then that pirate grabs or rips it off the screen.
We waited two years for this?
Just 1 example, because I'm lazy at writing, too. lol
Instead of Discovery launching the probe to the rift, they boarded the probe on a shuttle and launched(!) it from there anyway. So no reason to fly so close to the rift for anyone anyway. The whole reason that this filler episode dilemma (following plot) even could exist
Yeah, I buy it!.
The whole series is so lazy at connecting storylines believable and dialogs are underwhelming and stupid - focusing on fancy eyecatchers.
I get it, as good SciFi-writer I would also prefer working for "The Expanse".
Nhan is a pretty crappy security chief. She got her ass kicked in one move and she’s out the entire fight. And how was she even taken by surprise. She was the only one who suspected ariam. She should’ve mentioned her suspicions to someone else. It’s not like she had any personal feelings toward ariam. They had no relationship
Planets only! mmmm mmmm mmmm:)
I was so expecting Sheldon to pop out from the ball pit and go "Bazinga" :smile:
That last scene. That's the show i fell in love with.
They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it. And who has been so close to doing it as we are right now?
Of all TNG episodes, 'The Wounded' feels like the one which firmly leads to the creation of Deep Space Nine. Chief O'Brien, having been given more and more screen time over the past couple of seasons, is finally given something of a leading role and a huge amount of character development. I would think that it's this episode that brought his character over to DS9. I really love the dinner scenes with Keiko, and of course the fantastic talk in Ten-Forward.
Additionally, we get to meet the Cardassians for the first time. These guys are just incredible, and I think one of the most developed alien races in popular science fiction. A big part of their success is down to the casting here, with Marc Alaimo playing Gul Macet. It's no coincidence he was later cast as Gul Dukat throughout DS9 (and for me, by far and away the best Trek villain ever). He brings a great deal of menace and intellect to the role, but we also get depth when you look at all 3 of the Cardassian actors together as they each display very different personalities. If they hadn't all worked so well I'm not sure that the Cardassians would have become some an important part of the franchise. There are wonderful scenes on the bridge as Picard has to deal with events while Macet watches on, tense stuff.
The weaker parts of the episode for me come in the form of Captain Maddox. Maybe it's because we've gotten so used to Picard as an example of a leader, but this guy just crumbles in comparison to him. It's also odd that we never see any of Maddox's crew and have to assume that they are just blindly following his bizarre orders.
Aw, I would've liked to see more of the Bozeman crew adjusting to the present time.
I don't think this episode had much impact on me as a kid, but watching it now I realised what a wonderful piece of work it is. I've often had a problem with the Borg, in that they just aren't very interesting. Certainly they've managed to give them a cold sort of sense of dread, but mostly they are incredibly bland. 'I, Borg' finally gives them a new angle and it was much needed.
It's also surprising just how little they featured in the show, with this only being their third appearance. We get a brilliant character piece here for Picard, but also for Guinan and even Geordi. It's especially unnerving to Guinan, usually the poster child for serenity and good sense, to clearly be angry and unwilling to let go of her hate. Picard's responses are more expected and the episode allows us to go on a wonderful journey with him. I was particularly impressed by his mental transition back to being Locutus.
The real reason the episode works as a whole though is because the great performance by the young actor playing Hugh. He presents vulnerability and confusion well, without breaking into anything overly emotional or melodramatic.
It does seem that this episode would be completely ignored by the time of the First Contact movie, notably in regard to Picard's state of mind, and there are inconsistencies which aren't really addressed. I think at this point the idea was that Borg were still born and grown instead of being made up of all the species that they had assimilated.
The episode that turns our lovely Enterprise crew into little more than murderers, and seems to want us to be on their side. A ridiculous concept for an episode that shows the Prime Directive for the nonsense it is, and feels like it's completely against the spirit of what these characters have always stood for.
Redeemed a little by having Paul Sorvino as Worf's brother Nikolai and for a creative use of the holodeck (later recycled in Star Trek: Insurrection), but even that is contrived as it conveniently stops working for plot purposes. Plus, if they needed a way to fix it then why not just sedate all of the Boraalans while they're sleeping and carry out the reboot?
so sherlock is over, and these are my thoughts on the finale in order of appearance:
since when the show is a horror movie and why was there a fucking clown.
the motion sensor was activated after the drone had landed and mycroft obviously knew enough about those explosives to realise that’s how they work, so why the hell did they wait for that to happen instead of immediately running away? oh wait. the drama.
they actually put that horrible cgi explosion from the trailer into the episode… why. later, in the very end, i will be reminded of it while watching sherlock and john run in slow mo.
why couldn’t mycroft, an important government figure and a relative of eurus, officially check up on her instead of the whole dress up game? and then he obviously shows us that he can fire or order around anyone in that prison which makes their shenanigans even less relevant. it’s really sad to see non-existent problems beings “solved” just to use screen time and mindlessly entertain the viewers. detective stories are supposed to be reasonable.
okay, i’m sorry but i’m not buying that “enslaving” bullshit. i want to know how she does it, because all we were given is some pieces of weird bullshit that wouldn’t faze anyone in their right mind. it reminds me of the cabbie from the pilot episode that supposedly talked his victims into killing themselves. but in the end we learned that he just threatened them with a fake gun. ah those good old times when the show had its wits and integrity still intact…
they sure like to deliberately make sherlock obtuse. i just don’t buy him missing that there’s no glass when he’s close to it and there’s still no reflexion. and shouldn’t the music sound muffled too or did the fiddle had its own voice modulator installed? interesting.
i know moriarty being alive would make no sense, but the show is guilty of occasionally doing that already, and he’s such a believably smart and psychotic character that’s interesting to watch that i would have gladly used my suspension of disbelief card.
i thought the girl on the plane was an idiot because she kept giving useless answers to important questions, but the reveal in the end explained it. 1-0, touche. then again, surely eurus would be imagining herself as the young version of herself and the sole reason they used another child actor is to keep the mystery up, which is a pretty cheap trick. 1-1.
now the real idiot (or more like a dumb plot device) here is undoubtedly molly. she fucking knows what sherlock does and in what kind of situations he sometime ends up being, and he obviously sounded nervous and agitated from the get go and eventually resorted to fucking begging, so why the hell couldn’t she trust him and just say what he asked her to? oh i know why. the drama. again. also her making sherlock “confess” his love for her she knows he doesn’t have literally came out of nowhere and had fanservice written all over it. and that conversation was so unrealistic and forced for the sake of plot progression it honestly made me cringe. god i wish they were more subtle with molly and her sad love for sherlock and all the irene adler mentions before it instead of jamming them into the storyline and reinforcing their awkward attempts to bring to life sherlock’s absent libido. they even made him destroy that coffin in a melodramatic fit, which was ridiculous because compared to the other experiments the molly incident surely warranted that kind of emotional outburst the least, no one had died after all. but wait, some fans are gonna love using that as proof for sherlock’s romantic feelings for molly, so that’s why it happened.
mycroft goading sherlock into killing him was painfully obvious, considering he’s the one who has been quite vocal about his brother not being a pragmatic automaton but a quite emotionally driven creature, and that he would never kill john, regardless of his intellectual capabilities.
so the lesson here is that you should pay more attention to your little sisters?..
you can’t just switch psychopathy on and off. but of course eurus was able to. in once instance she’s a cold blooded murderer that doesn’t understand the difference between killing someone innocent and someone guilty, in general she has a spontaneous child murder on her record, but oh no, the episode is almost over and we can’t possibly kill john watson (like we couldn't blow up molly or shoot mycroft, but had no problem axing mary, a character that no one gave two shits about, dead or alive, or moriarty, who had basically been the best character; good job on fucking up twice), the fans would rage, so let’s make our villain a crying scared little girl that longs for brotherly love and make her suddenly change her evil ways, so we could wrap this shit up and move on.
and why did they put her back in the place she can easily break out from? what even has changed? can’t she make the staff into her bitches again just by talking to them (eternal eyeroll) like she did before? yeah she’s not mad at sherlock anymore (because he gives her attention now! how cute), but she’s still a mentally disturbed person and the cage must get boring when you have a fiddle as your only source of entertainment.
so yeah, i basically wrote a fucking essay or more like a hateful ode to the show, but i don’t actually hate it, i still adore first two seasons, tolerate the third and i have been relatively entertained by the last one, this episode included, even if i undoubtedly think the show hasn't been clever for a long time and it's finale was less a detective and more a weird left-field saw tribute without everything that actually makes saw enjoyable. i'm writing this as a former fan that for the last few years has been mostly disappointed by the show they once loved, that’s all. i’m also bored and writing this kept my mind busy. that makes this otherwise useless “review” worth it, i guess.
Shouldn’t the TARDIS have caused the Cyrillic sign in the underground tunnel to appear as English?
