Never noticed until this rewatch that Sara Bareilles was in the Kindey Now gang. Girls5eva collab foreshadowing :joy:
Wow, he’s saying some real shit. Glad I’m not watching live; I had several moments I needed to pause and rewind to hear that again. Pretty genius. Sad and dark, but genius.
The kittens and the worm were a really nice touch. (Badumnts)
This is 'True Detective' in name only. Would have enjoyed it much more if they didn't use the name for blantly marketing purposes only.
Somebody please explain this entire season to me like I'm a five year old?
I'm not saying production value is my favourite thing this season, but jesus the lighting, the fog and the smoke in this episode is so breathtaking
The first 2-3 seasons were superb. They gave an interesting glimpse into the enduring monarchy whilst everything around it is changing fast. And the events depicted are far enough in the past to be new to people of my generation.
But then the series slowed down, the soap opera elements with Charles, Diana and Camilla took over, culminating in that ever whining Charles and doe-gazed Diana... It felt like dragging through molasses, honestly... and then the William and Harry-spectacle is started. Season 5 and the beginning of season 6 are suffering for it. Contrasting what I said above, I think the writers just couldn't resist that spectacle... but since I've grown up with it... it just feels rehearsed and repetitive and soulless.
So my view of this series remains quite ambivalent. I'd have wished for it to have ended before all the soap opera, maybe with Charles and Diana's wedding in season 4. I just think it's not yet time to view (and judge) that period objectively.
The time travel is easier to believe than how clueless everyone is about George.
How is George all of a sudden an expert of everything? Ann these experts are basically idiots. Did Sky hire writers from The CW?
George doesn’t have anywhere close enough training to be taking out all these damn people. That’s ridiculous
Can’t believe this rookie is playing everyone like a fiddle.
“Who is this”? The man was just in your house lol
Again with the, George is somehow John fucking Wick now. Taking out Russian agents too :man_facepalming_tone3:
Well that ending really made it interesting again like a while new show from now on. He does know he can never be with Sarah now right? Unless shes going on the run with him

I totally understand that a lot of time, effort, and emotional energy would have been invested in the pregnancy reveal, but the reality is it didn't work. They should have cut it and found another way.
(To be more specific, the way it played out in a physical sense just didn't make any logical sense; as an actor she had to wait for the action—the movement and sound—to end before she could speak, or neither we nor the people she's speaking to hear her, but it makes no sense for her to do that IRL, of course, because once she realised everyone was looking at her she would not have revealed this information.)
A group of middle class friends from diverse culture’s all with virtuous careers, that nobody will have ever seen together at a holiday resort ever, have to survive a terror attack! The men are all pathetic, blithering idiots or dirty cheats, except the security guy, and the women are all panic stricken wrecks, except Keely and the doctor. By the end I was just hoping the gunmen would kill all of them. Questions that arose from the quite terrible writing are:- Why was there only one small knife in the kitchen and why did the idiots leaving the complex run into the wasteland when there was a village right next door with children playing and all the villagers oblivious to the gunfire and Spanish swat team that were circling the island in a helicopter?
If I only could I'd make a deal with God and get him to swap our places (with someone who didn't sit through this entire shitty, lame season)
Poor casting choice for the roles of Charles’ left and right ear.
I have to say that Koba really hurts the show for me. He's too much of an over the top character (a mix between Borat and the German DJ 'Scooter') and doesn't fit in. He's a bit of a comic villain in an otherwise grounded show. It's not easy to live to the quality of this show though. There are so many strong actors/characters in this show. Luan, Ed, Sean, Marian and Billy are all outstanding in my opinion. Still a fantastic episode.
Solid Roman Roy impression! Didn’t know they got HBO in Westeros?!
This episode just exist to spoiled you about The Sopranos, so with you never watched and want to watch Sopranos, be warned.
I kinda forgot that HBO had prequels planned for GoT
A pretty good episode in an average season. Almost lost me with the Jersey Devil stuff but worked out alright by the end. I'm over the young Colin Robinson character though.
Pretty good show until on season 3 turns braindead stupid. No wonder that one is impossible to watch legally. If I where the creators I would also be ashamed of it and try to hide it.
14 year gap and she still has the same perfect hair
I guess they think we were so dumb that we didn’t pay attention to the fact that the dogs stayed right by his side at all times. I guess we’re supposed to think that he forgot to call for his attack dogs while he was being mercilessly beaten. Every bit of rest of this was very good, but that he would not think to simply whistle and stop the attack, and avoid being restrained, and avoid being forced into custody – I just can’t abide.
how could a film that bases an entire storyline around a Ratatouille joke not be absolutely fantastic?
"How fucked up should the next kills be?"
"Yes"
when are we giving bill hader every single emmy out there jw
I enjoyed that more than the entirety of season 2. Having the main characters back together seems to be a key ingredient, and the focused nature of this episode helped too. I hope this bodes well for the rest of the season.
Leave it to Jessica Biel to make Candy Montgomery sexy.
