This episode feels like they set it up to be interesting but ended up reductive. But that's just storytelling. I'm not a fan of this particular story. Previously we were told that just because something looks like a monsters doesn't mean it is. It kinda felt specifically like a hint that Medusa was a victim (and she is) in need of sympathy for what happened to her and not revulsion for how she looks. And yet we have Medusa who saves the children and ends up with her head cut off. Almost like we could have just judged her by her monstrous appearance in the first place.
Nice episode. Too bad it’s going too fast ! 30 minutes episode is short :/
This could have (and should have) easily been another 20 minutes longer. This was the shortest episode yet, and there's still so much room for stuff to happen, so I don't see any reason why the episodes have to be this short.
good episode, wayyy too short though. give us 45 minutes at least
I suppose someone hacked into Darby's helmet. Sian wore the one by mistake.
nobody going to see lucas play made me so sad
The transition between Marc and Steven (and also their suits) during the episode was definitely something else that I'll be obsessed with for the rest of the year.
And thank you, Mohamed Diab for finally showing Egypt without the "Hollywood yellow filter". He’s doing an amazing job directing this show, I absolutely love the soundtrack and the visuals.
Man, rest in peace Lance, a great choice to play Zeus, he will be missed
never thought i'd say this, but good for sally! it's been a long time coming with her real character development
This premier episode feels more like Blade Runner than Star Wars. If someone didn't tell me, I would've assumed it as an all-new sci-fi thriller series outside the Star Wars franchise.
This premier episode is largely ambiguous, as we follow one of Rogue One's leading character, Cassian Andor. This opener is set 5 years before the movie (and Star Wars: New Hope), where Cassian is on a lone quest to locate his long lost sister.
Younger viewers might lose their patience as there isn't much action, not even K-2SO. But the world building is fantastic, nearly enough to tide them over.
So, Charlie is basically a crime magnet walking around super glueing people's wounds :grin:
Reaching new hights. This was just brilliant character work all around.
The intensity is so real. Great acting and writing!
A very good first half of the finale with some unexpected twist. Although I was wondering why the Batch never entertained the idea of infiltrating as regular troopers. Now I know.
Very cool to see Krennic and the mention of Project Stardust.
Ugh. I didn't want to watch this. I thought it was a movie when the trailer started but I hit play by accident and it was effective. I got sucked in. A nice bob and weave with the story telling. Obviously a lot of mystery to come up with and a murder that might or might not be.
I can't say know to a locked room mystery. One of us did it is just my jam so hard. I don't have a handle on Darby yet what kind of detective she is going to be but I do have a rough grasp on what kind of person she's going to be and I like her intensity. I think it's going to serve her well though out the series.
the pacing is quite slow but i loved the visuals and found the plot very interesting. i'm seated!
Some great acting from Idris Elba here!
The episode runs a bit long, but the first 45 minutes are really strong. The alternate reality where Hitler stands trial is really interesting to see and done in a good way. I want to shout out Carol Kane (Mindy) for her outstanding performance again this season. For me she outshines Al Pacino and that's something.
Die Hard meets Home Alone. It actually did keep my attention though.
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!
Not cool that everyone is trying to get Nancy and Steve back together. When Jonathan isn’t around.
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.
Immediately my favorite season of Star Wars television.
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.
