This was a good episode. Really good but it could have been great. They needed to do more with the Borg. They built up Seven connecting to the cube and activating the Borg then squat. Once the Borg were activated space vacuum should not have killed them. They long ago fixed that issue. I don't even think they would have all gotten sucked out. Maybe they'll show them being beamed back aboard.
Who Reiner was talking about during his family dinner:
“this one person just... started eating a potato. When the instructor reamed her out, she admitted without even a hint of guilt, ‘I stole it because it looked so tasty.’ Still, she could tell she was going to be in trouble, so she offered to give him half. But the part she held out to him wasn’t even close to half the potato. They don’t have concepts like fairness or compromise.” = Sasha Braus
“There was one moron dumb enough to forget why he came to the bathroom,” = Connie Springer
“an irresponsible guy who only thought about himself,” = Jean Kirstein
“a straight-laced dumbass who’d think of everyone but himself,” = Marco Bodt
“a guy who’d charge into any situation without thinking,” = Eren Jaeger
“and the two who would follow him through anything...” = Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert
It is clear that Reiner couldn’t think of reasons why the Eldians on Paradis are evil (Karina was afraid Gabi would start thinking of them as humans, as that’s how Reiner portrayed them). Too bad he has to put on two faces back in Marley as well, even with who the successor of the armoured titan will be.
Just feels like lazy writing that Lucy is now flirting with a lawyer who she didn’t get along with at first. It’s like they are just redoing the Angela and Wesley relationship all over again.
When fans have just wanted Lucy and Tim together for awhile now. I saw it a mile away Lucy would start dating the Lawyer as soon as they first met.
I didn't see this coming at all. This made me hate Michael even more.
Just Wow!
Opposed to other reviews, I think the pacing is actually good in this Episode.
It is the first one I could actually feel things happening.
It was a bit sad, that Sevens best Scene was immediately followed by the worst turnoff ever...
"WE ARE BORG" actually gave me goosebumps coming from her - I wish they would have taken a minute showing something before the Drones got flushed...
I absolutely loved the ending. I knew Neal couldn't be dead - that pretty much ends residuals if people know he dies. The baby was adorable, Peter and El were so happy, Mozzie was still Mozzie and Neal was off on another adventure. I like to think he eventually does meet up with Peter again. The icing on the cake was the smile on Peter's face when he realizes Neal is really alive. Great Ending!
The clear comparison to nazi Germany feels somewhat like plagiarism. It's quite distracting actually.
Levi smiled. LEVI FUCKING SMILED. It was only a chuckle but still
Happy Nyla is a blast.
(And not everyone wants Lucy and Tim together, I prefer them as a brother/sister dynamic).
Oh, my effing god. What did I just watched?
I love all the comments from all the butthurt people who can afford to not think about race and police brutality. I hope y’all are enjoying the privilege y’all have. It must be really nice.
OK, I do it again. I make the comparison.
Why is this more Trek than today's "real" Trek ? Because, although they are reheating old TNG stories, they are telling them about all the crew. Not just centered around one individiuum. This is an ensemble show. Everyone get's his share. Some more than others but that is true to most shows anyway. The writers are building up characters so that, when something is happening to them, you actually feel with them. There is emotional investment that is created over time.
And because they deal with social issues even if they are very much in your face. But it works for me. I can't remember a show displaying smoking so blatantly.
Of course it's always nice to see fellow ST actors. And, coming back to the story, I kinda suspected Laura would turn out to be a distant relative of Gordon. Would have probably a bit too much.
I really had to stop and write a comment about my favourite 3 lettered word, WTF , does it really mean Wireless Telecommunications Facility? :P That cracked the hell out of me laughing XDD
On the other hand, I really feel bad about Gordan, he is so lonely.
WOW this was a good episode. I loved everything about it. Truly one of the best episodes this season next to Alara's exit.
Probably the most beautiful episode of anything you could ever watch. What a masterpiece of show The Orville has become.
That shit was beautiful man.
Okay no. What the FUCK.
whoa MICHAEL WHAT WAS THAT???!?!
"Don't mistake coincidence for fate." Wouldn't it be the other way around? Mr. Eko definitely believes in fate, but the order in which he said it would mean don't think something is fate when it's actually coincidence.
The horse thing is dumb, and one of those infamous 'Lost questions that are never really answered but also do you honestly care about the answer' situations.
I like how Michael's "checking out the hardware" is just squeezing the wires. As if that would give you any kind of information.
Such an emotionally powerful episode, and even though the show does give you so many reasons to hate Ana Lucia, it still does a good job explaining why she is the way she is.
Rose & Bernard. Jin & Sun. It never fails to make me cry.
Lost is a masterpiece of story telling and character work.
I adore how they made this 40's thing look like something by Orson Welles... although, definitely, shorter shots. Just having watched the opening sequence of Touch of Evil a few days ago, then watching this, made my brain trigger haha.
This is just getting more and more delightful. The scene in the shop totally cracked me up.
"for high priest, ring bell" ... I need to get me one of those signs.
One free live chicken included in package... :joy: OR one pre-sacrificed heart hahaha!
Dunno why so many people dislike this episode. This is Lucifer at its best for me, when its not leaning on the (mostly stupid) overarching story too much.
Yes it is a filler, that doesn’t mean filler episodes can’t be entertaining.
I for one really enjoyed this episode. I go apeshit for noir episodes in general and this was no exception. I loved it when Castle did it, when Fringe did it, when iZombie and Agents of SHIELD did it, and I thought Lucifer did a great job with it as well. It was so fun to see the cast take on different characters. Aimee Garcia as a mob boss was a particularly inspired idea, but they were all brilliant. I was once again blown away by Lesley-Ann Brandt's pipes. And in the end it's not like it wasn't connected to the main storyline, it did have a payoff in the form of Maze locating Lilith and I'm sure it'll have repecussions later on.
Loved this episode. It is something different from what we have been watching, but it did not bother me at all. Great storytelling performance. Awesome writing. The director did an incredible job and Joe Montegna was incredible. It is one of those episodes which you will always remember.
Talking about the story. It never gives itself away. I thought about at least 7 ways the episode was going to end, and I was even close. The mystery. The suspension. It made me not be able to take my eyes off screen for even a second.
This episode must be the reason why the Trakt developers chose "Totally ninja!" for the 10 rating :sweat_smile:
Also, gotta love the music, both Jeffster's and regular.
