That was the weakest episode of this season so far.
And I still don't understand why they needed to name a "random recurring character" James Kirk for no apparent reason, since it's obviously not Kirk (they could have called him Jim Carrey).
So if I understand correctly, this demon has been around since 1959. Therefore has nothing to do with the upside down. So this show is simply fighting demons now? Aka, becoming cliché with known characters.
Eleanor and Chidi STILL have ZERO chemistry — and I honestly think their relationship has been detrimental to the show.
I would like to believe this is real but whenever they do a trick of any kind the camera cuts to a different shot at the pivotal moment, eg. When they wax the guys back it would have been so easy to leave the camera rolling on a shot where you see the wax strip applied then removed but it cuts away just before it’s ripped off. Even if they cut away after it was applied but cut to a medium close up that showed the guys head and the strip being removed, that would have sold it much better. When Justin levitates the box he is standing behind it so he can hold it with the hand behind the box while holding his other hand up. All these lame little tricks don't set up the finale very well and the whole show hinges on Justin being a likable guy with a trustworthy face.
If the last guy pranked wasn’t in on it to start with, I’m going to guess that he woke up along the way and they had to get him to pretend.
Weakest episode of the season. That Covid plot feels like 4 years old. Bruce cameo was wasted.
I'm sorry to say it but this episode was weaker than the first two. The David character is ruining it. Most of the others can pass for real people even if they're goofy at times; David just seems like a cartoon.
It won't last past 10 episodes at this rate, laugh track every 1.5 seconds, cannot hold a candle to the original series.
Not sure what this season is about yet, but I'm having trouble dealing with the lack of wrinkles and changes of shape in the faces of Aniston and Witherspoon. They look like a Madamme Toussaud's version of themselves. Fortunately there's Julianna Margulies: wrinkled and beautiful and looking like an older version of her younger self.
Feels so surreal still to be seeing Bo Katan in this show and in such a big role, she definitely is the highlight of the episode as Din is pretty bland right now tbh
This season switched the show from alternate history to science fiction, with artificial gravity oversized space ship with touchscreens. Still no cell phones.
It’s like Marty became the dumbest guy on the show and everyone else became brilliant 3/10
Absolutely awful episode, completely pointless and worst of all, boring.
This show does not have enough interesting characters for me to care about what happens.
I have so much to say and I don't even know where to start or how to say it. After such a great first season, season two was really a let down. It didn't really feel like the overall plot had a clear goal which made the whole season a big mess. So many things happen with either no payoff or with anti-climatic resolutions. Is this an attempt at telling realistic stories? I don't know. Instead of focusing on space travel, it focused too much on earth, too much on unsympathetic characters, and holy shit did they do Tracy dirty. I'm not even sure if the show wants the audience to be on Team America, Team Russia, or Team Mankind.
You know what could have been a better ending. Arya sitting in Bran's chair wearing his mask, while Bran is sitting hidden right behind the tree. The Night King knowing Bran is handicapped would never expect her swift blow to his stomach...
I love every opportunity I get to see Leslie Grossman on screen, but cast her as Kristen Bell's mom? She's just 9 years older! It's almost as crazy as Mary Cherry from Popular giving birth to Veronica Mars.
Filler episode that added nothing to the story long-term. Meh.
"Send the dothraki first since they are barbarians"
"Dragons are our heavy artillery let's keep them flying in circles without doing NOTHING for say 2/3 of the battle. Even if they all stop before a flaming trench and sit there nearly aligned for tenths of minutes. We can not win the easy way this must be EPIC"
"It's a massive invasion of Savage, quick and merciless undead but we like to walk orderly and calmly in libraries"
"By the way, libraries are still dead silent while people are being ripped to shreds outside"
"Hey, look, Arya slipped past 4.000 undead and learned Rey's air saber trick"
"Every major character gets to live even after being surrounded by dead. (jorah and theon were already half dead - oh yeah, theon, seems Arya waited in the shadows while you were impalled too. Go team.".
15 minutes of dark scenes not that good. Light a candle my dude
If anyone is wondering why this is a lovefest for this terrible episode, just know that trakt is actively deleting any negative comments. Even ones that aren't in anyway offense. I know because it happened to me, and has been happening more and more lately.
As my previous comment mentioned, This was a poor filler episode.
It‘s good sci-fi. It‘s not Star Trek. Almost funny how Seth McFarlane‘s Orville is at its core closer to the values and themes of the original Star Trek than Discovery.
They'll just build a new one... and make the White Walkers pay for it.
You'd think a multi-million dollar show would have a better action sequence.What on earth was that scene where Ahsoka , Sabine and Ezra are dodging bullets from over 50 storm troopers , oh my god. That was sooo bad. Even I would have directed a better action sequence.
There is so much fury in Rosario Dawson's face while battling , but we can hardly see any of that in her fights and the result is embarrassingly cringe .
So we finished one complete season and we still haven't gotten a clue as to what Baylon Skoll's arc is? The actor has passed away , rest his soul , so I wonder what on earth would they do now .
The storm troopers usually have a zero plot armour in the movies , here they have been dialled down to -100.
And the director's idea to wrap up this garbage of a finale was to show a glimpse of Anakin in the end? Do you expect us to give a standing ovation for that?
Very very disappointing
4/10
Sabine getting stabbed by lightsaber: I am fine, tis but a flesh wound.
Ahsoka on top of ship in space: This is fine, I am going to do some acrobatic jumps in space, fall back on the ship and prevent the enemy from blowing us up using my lightsabers.
Ahsoka falling on the ocean: Well, I am dead... Time for some memberberries and time travelling!
No journalist would ever reveal his source. Plot device to create conflict.
Erm.. okay I'm so confused
I adore this show. It might be the most wildly imaginative series I’ve ever watched.
But am I the only one feeling zero chemistry between Chidi and Eleanor?
This episode just exist to spoiled you about The Sopranos, so with you never watched and want to watch Sopranos, be warned.
