insanely good episode and the final sequence was a masterpiece. this season has absolutely shattered me so far
nobody going to see lucas play made me so sad
This first episode gave me more chills than a horror movie :neutral_face: I'm really looking forward to see the next episodes!
I feel like an extra 25 or 30 minutes would have been better to draw out the drama a little more. Still, pretty good and I can't wait for season 2!
Thank you for this miniseries. What a ride. Quality in every single aspect of this production, it made me emotional in the end tbh
Not cool that everyone is trying to get Nancy and Steve back together. When Jonathan isn’t around.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY BUILT UP BLACK NOIR'S BACKSTORY THIS SEASON TO MAKE HIM DIE LIKE GARBAGE......... I KNOW THEY KNOW THAT THEY COULD'VE DONE MUCH BETTER.
It went amazingly fast. I did not see that hour go by. What a great episode!
The story of 001 was very well told. Amazing! I can't describe how much I liked this plot. :open_mouth:
The clicker scene was masterfully translated from video game to live action, the tension was insane! Incredible episode.
That scene with Luthen and the ship was awesome.
I can't even begin to put into words here but the prosthetic and makeup division is not only good, it is groundbreaking. The bodies on the later stages of radiation poisoning were absolutely terrifying, it literally gave me chills in the spine, when it shows the firefighter and the wife inside the plastic.
If you watch just one episode of "Mythic Quest," make it this one. You don't even need to watch the pilot to understand it as it's 100% standalone. Just keep in mind the rest of the show is in a very different tone.
This particular episode is a heartfelt meditation on the power of a creative vision and how time threatens it. It's also really well acted and written. Funny, bittersweet, and surprising.
I gotta wonder if maybe this is the show the creators wanted to make from the get-go but had to compromise their vision until it became "Mythic Quest"...
The end scene is a genuine rush of adrenaline, and those 3 men are true heroes!
The most insane eposide in the whole series!!
I'm running out of superlatives for this show. I continue to marvel at the historical accuracy of the events. I was waiting to see if they would recreate one of the most amazing facts about the accident...the clearing of the roof by the "biorobots". 90 seconds. 90 seconds on the roof to receive a lifetime dose of radiation. And going out on that roof wasn't voluntary. Nice government. Also, the scenes of young Pavel being forced to liquidate starving, deserted family pets was one of the saddest things I've ever watched.
The opening scene features an old woman milking a cow while being told by a soldier to leave her farm for her own safety. She tells him she's not leaving and recalls the history of her life under the iron boot of the communist system. The mention of the horrific Holodomor was shocking to me. It seems that kind of reflection on past evils (other than Hitler's Nazis) is never mentioned.
This series has pulled absolutely no punches showing the oppression and brutality of the Soviet government. I hope that support for such a system, no matter how well intended, never sees the light of day again.
That Luthen shake off scene was EPIC
Great start to the season. Loved the new characters and also the development of old ones. It’s so creepy though!! Like more graphic or something. Love Eddie. He seems very cool
Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and a hippopotamus walk into a mental hospital.
Immediately my favorite season of Star Wars television.
This is, perhaps, the best tv series episode ever created! The acting is extraordinary, the filmography is tremendous, the soundtrack is terrific! And that end, that end is majestic! This concludes the most and smallest epic TV series I have ever seen!
The first episode was.. perfectly splendid.
The Chernobyl disaster is something that has always been of interest to me. Even though this is a dramatization not a documentary, it seems to be striving for accuracy and realism in its depiction of the event. I watch a lot of Horror and I'm probably desensitized by that frequency. But this episode had my heart thumping as the plant workers and firefighters fought the disastrous explosion. It's scarier than any Horror film that I've seen in a long time.
This episode did a great job of recreating '80s Soviet Union Pripyat. The architecture and styles looked accurate. The most stunning recreation was the stifling bureaucracy and buck-passing that was no doubt present in the Soviet socialist state. So many layers of supervision. So many organizations and titles. This episode appears to accurately portray the dismal, incentive-sucking grind that citizens of a communist society experienced.
"And I would rather die trying to take them down, than giving them what they want."
Phenomenal episode, a great culmination of the prison system plot (MVP Andy Serkis), and topped off by Skarsgård killing his stirring sacrifice monologue. Dividing the season into four distinct storylines with their own build-up and climax is such a good choice; can't wait to see the last leg.
It was a nice touch having Ashley Johnson (the voice of Ellie in the games) playing her Mother.
Having past events pressure down on Homelander, to his increasingly strained psyche, makes for the strongest start of a season yet. Starr's terrifyingly cracked performance over the course of these two episodes is something else.
Weak episode and ending. Felt very rushed.
I'm glad they decided to keep "No Pun Intended: Vol Too" in this adaptation. Terrible jokes but its nice to see them laugh every now and then.
absolutely ADORE the rotating shot, right before revealing Vecna on the other side, so so good
