Still can't believe he was acquitted even though there was so much evidence!
Okay. So far, I didn't care about Marty's wife. I didn't mind being a character at all. But the last few episodes have changed, and I'm starting to feel the same way about her as I did Walter White's wife in Breaking Bad. Annoying bitch. She's not doing anything to save her family, as she says, it's just her business and power.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT THE WHOLE SEASON
3 minutes in and all I can think is that this is really hard to watch after Andor… Everything down to the soundtrack is a knock-off of the best of Star Wars.
That said, I’m going to watch every episode.
Okay, let's be grateful for Leo - and let's not imagine a more egotistical, narcissistic president in the same situation who only surrounds himself with yay-sayers...
- Okay, I just figured that--
- What? There's a human alive who wants to read Crime and Punishment?
Rude! I like the Crime and Punishment parallels.
I know Joe is a complete psycho and I still didn't see the ending of this episode coming. I deadass thought he was legit trying to be good and stay away from Love.
Love gotta be a female version of Joe, right? She’s pushy and invasive to a person she just met, I was getting obsessive vibes from her. Something definitely isn't right.
That speech by Luthen was everything I needed :fire:
Had you told me the best of Star wars television is yet to come when I was watching the S2 finale of the Mandalorian, I wouldn't have believed you.
Weirdest finale ever. Were the writers high this season?
I liked that the show brought back the rest of the family like Jenny and Eric for quick cameos. That Blair and everyone seemed happy but come on. William got Lily? Nice message. Bad guy gets the girl. Not romantic at all.
Lily had no character development at all in the series since she was the same manipulative person. Jack was forgiven so easily after being a total a-hole to his nephew for so many years?
I wish the writers would have done to following for season 6:
After his marriage Rufus meets a pretty/cute woman and strikes up a flirtation with her. 5 yrs later, he’s married to her. Not much screen time needed.
I wish Lily lost her fortune due to Khama for years of manipulations. She is alone for awhile and gets a real job, makes real friends, and meets someone new and good then her finances get fixed. 5 yrs later she’s married to him and thus has one of her longest marriages.
I wish Eric had much more of a storyline but I get the actor was on another show...
Nate’s plot the last couple years was flimsy. First off, they referred to him as going to school while working at the Spectator. Riiight. No, for Nate he should have lost the job as a result for not paying attention to it since he paid more attention to women. He should have finished school having met some new friends and then partner up with one of them for a news magazine or something that becomes a success.
Blair, I really like how she worked with her mom in the end. I wish there was a little more of that. She was still a bully this season which was a reversal of her character growth in season 5. The writers messed up. They should have shown her as more compassionate to people like Nelly.
Serena...sigh. Flaky Serena. I actually like that Dan wrote the bad version of her. I would have liked her to do soul searching because of it instead of running away. Read more, get some tough jobs where she struggles a bit. Makes friends with people who have little money and you know, grows as a person. After season 5 her character needed that. I grew to hate her character and while I love Dan for everything up to the final season, I had zero reaction about their wedding and it was because I didn’t like Serena anymore.
Chuck. Ugh!!! Seriously he’s done some horrible things and then he keeps pushing Blair away. WHY are we supposed to root for him? He’s a jerk and aside from the occasional good one liner he’s not worth rooting for.
The Chuck and Blair relationship is passionate but unhealthy.
As for Gossip Girl, if it were me, I’d have made it someone in the background. Someone barely in season1 then occasionally shown at the school and the city. That minion Hazel or even Mrs Waldorf (mother of master manipulator Blair) would have worked. She could have sent GG blasts to test her daughter and to punish her. Maybe it was her dark side?
Dan as GG would have worked except the scenes that made it look like he was shocked and upset at the GG blasts when he was alone. Who was he putting that show on for? No it didn’t fit. Now if he hadn’t had those scenes and didn’t attack his friends in the blasts (unless it was for their own good) then I’d buy it.
Yeah I wasn’t impressed with the final season at all.
I did however like the little details like the newspaper article with Lola Rhodes starring in the movie based on Ivey’s book. Nice little touch.
Overall good series but terrible ending. Weird final season that felt like it was a grab for ratings. Writers/producers seemed to care only about making people gasp instead of staying in character and trying to better the story.
Growing up is believing that Blair Waldorf belongs with Dan Humphrey. Fuck Chuck Bass and his bullshit..
What. Did. The. Writers. Do.
That song and dance number at the beginning was adorable. Currently wondering if the writers ever just go, "how can we possibly create conflict here?? Guess it's time to bring out the big guns!" Then they just bust Georgina out. Speaking of out, I can't believe everyone had their phones out during the wedding.
Blair being given away by both Harold and Cyrus made me tear up.
That ending was so dumb, but IT MADE ME SO HAPPY.
One of the best episodes in the series. And an important game change on the plot.
Rewatching Gossip Girl in 2019: So many name drops and cameos which did not age well.
This is even sadder than Cyrus's Seder. The background music here is amazing too!! Whatcha Say and Rufus's Thanksgiving joke are so iconic.
A decent way to handle Elliot's transition and the Vanya/Viktor character.
Thing is about Elliot, he never did look comfortable in his own skin. When he did make that announcement in 2020 suddenly it made so much sense to me why. I like how they wove that into the show. Viktor's conversation with Allison felt very authentic. I bet that was emotional for the actors to film as well.
Also, do we think the ball of energy in the basement is tidying up the paradoxes?
the amount of transphobia in this comment section is absolutely disturbing and sad. y‘all hating on elliot and/or viktor should be ashamed of yourselves.
The best last five seconds ever :smile:
God i'm gonna miss the Rocinante crew so fucking much. They definitely stuck the landing on this finale.
"Oh my gooood, nooooo! So much feely feely, not enough pew pew!"
Yeah, right. Because all of you would be rock stable after a spacewalk without a VAC suit, stranded in space aboard a bomb that is luring in the people you love.
Let yourselves feel something once in a while. Maybe a little empathy wouldn't hurt either. And take all the feelings, make them into hate, and then channel it towards the majestic fuck that is Marco Inaros.
I liked the Naomi part of this ep. I liked that not everyone is Amos or Bobbie, that people can get hurt, can get broken into pieces and then pick themselves up. Not much else happened, but in this case it's not on Naomi. And characters have to develop, to have some kind of character development.
My heart breaks for Erin :((( like obviously a death/murder is very sad but I think it makes me even sadder that her last moments alive were like that, being mocked by her former friends, realizing there was no Brandon and she was being catfished, being assaulted by those other teens while her ex boyfriend and baby daddy stood there laughing and being attacked and humiliated, and also realizing that her baby was left all alone cause obviously neither her dad or the baby's dad care about him, just thinking that those were her last moments breaks my heart.
The butthurt comments here are hilarious; it's an alternate history show, and if they're crying SJW here I'm surprised they weren't sobbing Commie Propaganda in the first episodes if one is that sensitive and fragile to any societal difference. If anything, it feels realistic that in the show people have to be shamed and embarrassed into this decision back then from not being a first historical milestone. Anyway, the first two episodes can feel too scattershot for setting up an alternate history scenario while also establishing the show's own characters and storylines, but the 3rd and 4th being so focused gives it some real momentum and drive that make the show so involving now.
The scene with June throwing the line DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME back at Serena was EVERYTHING.
I'm so fucking annoyed that Fiona got shafted despite being the most important character for nine seasons. She was more of a father figure than Lip was. I love Lip, but what the fuck? One missed phone call two seasons ago and then they all act like she doesn't even exist? I don't even know if I liked this episode because I'm so caught up on the fact that they shafted my homegirl.
This must have been the most "the worst" Gretchen has been in a long time.
As an evil and thoughtless man who downloads all of his content rather than doing the responsible thing and paying for it, I am not afraid to admit that I really thought that I had grabbed a mislabelled copy of another FX show. By the time I realized that I was watching Gretchen and Jimmy telling made-up stories about themselves, the stories got perfectly sillier. Truly, a great start to the season.
Holden: Guys! Guys!!!
Fred Johnson: What did you do?
Holden: There was a button. I pushed it.
Fred: Jesus Christ. That's really how you go through life, isn't it.
