The funny thing is that after the episode ended, I came here to give it some stars.
I choked on my chapati when Gong Yoo showed up LOL.
Does anyone else dislike that they incorporated coronavirus into the show? It takes me out.
I hate stories like this. Tales of the Noble Racist.
"The Noble Racist wouldn't be so racist, but they just had all these good rational reasons to be."
Real people are almost never actually like that, it is just the story they convince themselves of to make themselves seem less hateful.
I aspire to have as much energy at 74 as Meryl Streep does.
I think we can all agree that Ben was actually talking to like a plate of cookies off camera and not a person in his dressing room. The question is then, who put them there and were they spiked?
Anyone else get Lucille and Buster Bluth vibes from Cliff and Donna?
“I come from television so I was trained to not question a script.”
Everything is not what it seems, so, I don't think Kimber did it, it is too soon to reveal the killer. I expect next episode they'll focus on Kimber but towards the end, focus will shift to someone else.
Meryl Streep and Ashley Park's voices in that lullaby was so great. Season 3 is amazing so far.
“I can’t cry.” “Why? Are you on Xanax?”
Theory: what if the two attempts on Ben's life were committed by two different people, potentially with unrelated motives?
I really liked Jesse and Selena's chemistry.
shout out to the other bingers forcing themselves through this
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?!!??!?!?! I'M IN PIECES
last 15 mins I was having the most emotional full body reaction. I was sweating n crying n breathing heavy. I'M STILL CRYING NOW??
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm really enjoying how toned down the violence is, because it really grounds the experience. Yeeting him off a second story catwalk and onto rebar is spectacle, but a simple stab wound in a quiet encounter really drives home how high the stakes are when the violence is so mundane. When it comes without spectacle or massive budgets. It reminds people of what violence actually is and forces them to connect with the intimacy of it, and I think this is something that's been a long time coming. I'm not the type to blame media for society's ills, but I do believe it could be doing more to impress upon people the consequences and nuance of violence, and The Last Of Us is a masterclass in this kind of storytelling.
As someone (apparently) without any sense of good taste, I found this episode to be highly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. Haters gonna hate.
Amy Schumer ruins the show
Can already tell people are gonna hate on this episode since they don't like Iris. But all I have to say is Run, Iris, Run!
I always say in a good movie or series at least 10 deaths shall happen in the first 10 minutes. While this was a little bit longer, but the death count at the end made more then up for it. This is some seriously sick stuff.
Follow-up commentary:
- "Nikolaj" pronunciation!! YES
- That Holt-Jake conversation, "chills, literal chills" - and some tears
- "Title of your s*x tape"!
- Man, I really hoped in a Bruce Willis arrival
Will miss them.
Nine-Nine!
I'm actually not a fan of all the cheating/love triangles right now : Jean/Jakob/Remi, Otis/Meave/Ola, Eric/Adam/Rahim, possibly Otis/Ola/Lily. I hope this will resolve rather quickly because I'm usually just bored with love triangles. Most of the time we know who'll be together anyway.
Big applause for the ace representation though! I actually don't think I've ever seen a show where someone comes out as asexual. And the explanation was done so well by Jean. The way she explained some ace people still want romantic relationships and some ace people don't care about that at all made me so, so happy!
Alicia is joining the Professor’s team! Wait for it
I see what you're doing, show. Having Loki become a master of time travel who turns toward the camera while emphasizing the line "it's WHO". I see, and I am amused. I like how this not only explores who our main cast were before their lives in the TVA, but it's a meta examination of how you can't just recapture the allure of the past without it literally unraveling, and also how the absurd impossibility of fiction is just as essential to science fiction as the science. A really inventive and rich episode. And so many jet skis.
No idea what's going on, sue me for being dumb.
In my opinion this was one of the weakest episode this show had so far. I just think it was quite boring. But I still love 'Only Murders' and I'm sure there's a lot good stuff coming.
As someone who doesn't read the manga or watch the anime, this first introduction to the series has convinced me to check more of the story out. I'm excited to dive deeper into One Piece, and I'm looking forward to any future seasons of the show!
I loved what they show did with Ava this week; having her stumble into a genuine learning moment is sweet but still with totally in-character humor/diss.
I also loved the hug between Enid and Wednesday at the end. Their friendship was one of my favorite parts of the series.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is amazing and still looks good. I don’t know why anyone complained about the casting of her and Gomez. They’re both great actors and they play the characters well.
That K.E.V.I.N part was brilliant and on point
why is everyone hating on this finale???? i think this is the most fun watching experience since wandavision era
Don’t listen to the people saying DD is “ruined” from this episode, apparently they’ve never read the comics OR remember the show (or expect someone to dump all their trauma onto a character they just met in a legal comedy? Some people are really writing these reviews without a single actual critical lens).
This was a fun episode and I had a great time - though one of my biggest criticisms is the overarching plot that they’ve been trying to establish. It has a lot of potential, but the pacing of this storyline has been off for me the entire show. Besides the CGI it’s one of my biggest gripes, and I felt it again towards the end of this episode. There’s only one episode left and I really don’t know that it’s going to get concluded in a way I feel is satisfying, though that’s something I’ll have to wait until the finale to properly review.
Besides that though I had such a great time - it was SO great seeing Matt again and Leapfrog was a funny inclusion. Despite my above reservations I’m excited for the finale and seeing how this is going to go.
Only after the episode ended did I have time to stop and have the realization that there were no cuts once you were in the restaurant.
This show feels great already. Love the fast-pace of it all. Doesn't waste time getting into characters, it just lets them be and gives you what you need from there. I felt like I was in the kitchen.
I don’t get the Cara Delevingne hate. More tolerable than Amy Schumer.
Brown Jovi…hahahaha. Livin On A Prayer, perfect song. And so Jersey. Love it.
