how did Margo get away from her two guards to meet a soviet defector in a remote parking lot?
For a guy named Invincible, he sure gets his ass kicked a lot. But, I guess a frat dork with a toaster oven helmet and scrap metal arms is more of a challenge than catching an asteroid and throwing it back into space :rolling_eyes:
As much as I love looking at Cristina and Linda, I love watching them even more...true masters of their craft. It may be the small screen, but these are big performances. Bravo...
I'm a bit mortified this brought out the prude in me, but going from a distinctively innocent "I've never been on a date before", to here's my tits, yeah I can take two fingers now f*#k me in the span of an afternoon seems a bit much!
Maybe if she was written a little more lost, a little more desperate, but she's introduced to us as mostly aware, confident & intelligent with no lack of judgement of her mother's past & sketchy behavior. Just seems unlikely she would mimic that behavior so soon.
Definitely some good laughs otherwise, with spot on casting & performances, which will probably keep me watching. I just hope they don't overdo the "shock us with reality" shtick.
Yeah, they went balls out in this one...
Disjointed, inconsistent, the Andy character is literally all over the map. So much wasted potential.
Why hide nosey neighbor? The horse killed her, seems a great piece of luck. Guess I'll find out. Also, not so sure a deer can calm down a tiger normally, but I like the idea he can have an affect on animals, assuming I didn't miss something about this earlier.
Wow, one of the most mundane deaths of a main character I can remember; RIP Alex. (And, yes, I know why)
Also, seemed like some storyline gaps from the last episode, like Amos & crews arrival on Luna; no screening process for new arrivals, since "Peaches" apparently got off the shuttle with no issue? She is technically an escaped high risk prisoner, no?
Last nitpick: thank God Naomi is off that ship, it was all I could do to not FF through her ultra-whinning scenes, that whole concept seemed out of character to me.
That being said, good stuff :clap:, and I'll be waiting anxiously for season 6.
So, the killer knows where they're keeping her, and then easily lures the cop outside with the old car alarm trick, and apparently disables him with no fuss? But wait, he also grabs this not so petite girl, pulls her Into the woods, ties her up OFF THE GROUND and cuts off both hands and a foot, in just a few minutes? And another one goes off the rails...
They got lazy and fucked up a cool premise. Rob becomes Adele and is immediately fully functional and ok, but Adele as Rob is paralyzed and helpless? Why did Louise go into Adele's body? She didn't know it was possible, and she didn't know Rob was in hers yet. No way David wouldn't have noticed a major change in Louise and still married her, and if it is because they did right away, no way the police wouldn't be all over Louise being there when Adele died and then marrying her husband soon after. And on and on. Again, cool premise, but the rush ending left far too many plot holes, which allowed me to figure out Adele was Rob early in the episode.
It's become a slave of its own shtick; everyone's a fuck...either a sociopathic, evil, dick-tard, or a sniveling, bipolar, whine bag, "twat". Problem that creates is the absence of a true protagonist, someone you truly root for. Closest person left is Kimiko. Otherwise, I don't really give a flying fish dick what happens to the rest. I'll keep watching, but wish it was better.
The "missions" have always been weak and not made much sense. But it was easy to overlook because their chemistry and falling for each other was fun and brought joy.
With the past few episodes just having them hating on each other, they've made it a bit cringe and made it void of any joy. The only reason I keep watching is I'm hoping they bring the joy back.
So basically, the main character is a mental case...1st hour might have got a 7 because of some creative visuals/scenes, but last 20min is just disappointing & sad as you watch her mental illness destroy her.
I like the show in general, but don't watch it if you're not fully awake, because it can definitely put you to sleep. A few too many scenes are drawn out to nauseum, like Emma & Ram collecting the ice crystals. (BTW, why couldn't they just collect the ice crystals in the bags at the nozzle?) Still too many clichés, but plenty of good performances, to make them tolerable.
I find it hard to believe I just watched the same movie so many others are raging about. Dialogue: nope - like its' written by 5th graders. Score: nope - more often than not, was so unattached from a scene, it was distracting. Cast: not as bad as the rest, but... Wagner didn't work for me at all, Cailee although she is even older in real life, she does not come close to looking like a 23yo, as such the early scenes with Joel hitting on her was cringe. And even though they mostly kept the story from being too political, I have to go back to the cast and say it seems heavily driven by the DEI police: I'm okay with no white guys as main characters, but c'mon, "most" every white guy character was either a redneck, moron or racist fuck-tard.
Lots of plot points to pick on, but I'll just mention a few: Did we ever really see why Sammy was such a great journalist? Lee is hard core, but breaks down at the finish line (assuming Sammy's death finally broke her, but that really doesn't fly) only to all of sudden to not just jump right back into being hard core, but transition from a photo-journalist to an investigative journalist and let everyone know the Prez is still in the WH. That's somewhat acceptable, except then she reverts back to a novice and saves Jessie by knocking her down and then just standing there, upright, ready to be shot? Each may not be massive on their own, but I experienced some "cumulative trauma" by having them keep coming. A much, much lesser issue, but speaks to the quality in general: the big automatic suburban plows back onto the road after Lee drove it into the woods, and as it drives away the sound geniuses input a 4cyl stick shift.
Sorry, but hard thumbs down for me...
just getting too frustrating. Alice ignoring all the obvious signs, repeatedly putting herself in danger...like why not drive to Lulu's instead of her own place. And Twig can't leave things in a message. why TF not? A simple text "Charlie's alive, June is dying, call when you're ready". Bet she'd call pretty quick.
I was far more entertained reading the comments than I was watching the episode...BTW, does Maman mean regurgitate in French? Because every time boy Picard says it I throw up a little bit in my mouth, just sayin'...
Pre-watch, non-spoiler comment: the drinking game trigger changes from "lifeboat", to *my son".....enjoy your hangover :slight_smile:
Nope...tried, but couldn't...it was more irritating than entertaining for me. From the weird music to the desperate concept of every character has to be weird, it just didn't work. "Weird is not creative".
Guess I'm going to be the "huh?" guy... cause, Huh? Another self-indulgent offering, where they are so busy trying to be stylized, they forget to make sure the story and character development are being addressed. Even with the episode description above, guess what I said when I read it... that's right, "huh?". When you work this hard to be quirky, offbeat and weird, you end up just being weird. My high hopes have been shattered.
Now I remember why I didn't really care when it started again... because it has gotten perpetually more preposterous every episode. And I'm way over Ruth, as unpopular as that may be. They keep killing off characters and I couldn't care less, and not sure who they could kill off that I would care about, Charlotte or Three maybe? Nope, wouldn't really give a shit. ⁹
It's not just the uselessness of it, and the unfortunate dislike for the Quan character, but does it have to be so friggin' cliche'? I guess we can guess this well/portal is something John will need/use in the future. But what a waste of my time to get there. Did I mention it's "cliche'". Make the villain as disgusting as possible, last week with the "i can be inappropriately naked just to show how powerful I am, this week the needless shooting of a harmless woman in the back; even a futuristic black SUV! WTF?! How unoriginal can you get? And of course tons of guys shooting automatic weapons, some at almost point blank range, can't hit Soren, but the villain can just raise his mighty pistol and hit him at a distance with 1 shot. I keep meaning to look it up, because the same writers can't be writing both arcs, because last week, focusing on John, Halsey and Makee was brilliant. Rant off....
Lot of folks stuck on the phone still working, and yes, that was a bit much. The whole series has been a mix of good and bad, with the good usually being enough to keep me interested. But this finale had just too many "WTF?" moments for me. Even more amazing to me than that perpetually powered phone, were those super-healing staples; I mean she went from pretty much dying to running all over the place again in a matter of minutes. And then she turns into Terminator 3, rather than just an enhanced "body-morphing" ex spy, 'because I don't how many times we had to see her go thru an excruciating transformation, but now she just changes 4 or 5 times as she's walking down the hall (I know some might say that was more a symbolic medley of some sort, but it wasn't really shot that way), and yes, they stole that right off terminator. And then the actual ending, I mean, REALLY? Whatever, I'd still check out a season two, just less excitedly than I would have before this overly creative ending to 1.
Sorry, couldn't stay with it. Jumping back and forth between a "regular" world, and their weird-culture underground versions, just didn't work for me. The concept of "Sometimes, more can be said by not saying anything" is a great one, but it felt too forced for me here. I know they were attempting some symbolism with him continuing to march around all bloodied up and nasty, but I just couldn't get my head into it when they'd jump back to regular world scenes and keep him looking like that. Glad it worked for the more enlightened crowd, truly, but I'm just a little to "regular" myself to have appreciated it.
I don't get the fascination with Jaskier; I typically find the character useless and annoying. Just sayin'.
Don't think I hated it as much as others but do have some notes:
- no reason for her to be Russian other than for Nicole to get to play with the accent
- favorite line "yesterday I was on all fours looking for my nose"
- glad they touched on it in the next episode but Napoleon was a complete dick when he said he might not be able to forgive Heather, when he had equal responsibility to read the pamphlet for side effects, just sayin'
- Michael Shannon is one of the best actors working today. The range of his roles to date is impressive
Frustrating from start to finish, so many issues I don't really want to relive them. But, as an example: they never show us the police sketch of el deuch, Ronald, or apparently to any of the characters, either. Wouldn't that be one of the first things the police would want to show Rick's wife, to see if she knew his accomplice? Anyway, like I said, too many stupid things. Ending up to be a waste of some good talent on shitty writing.
Well this season was like a meal: early episodes were the appetisers getting you ready for the main course in the middle episodes, where Mother becoming the Necromancer was truly delicious and a visual treat, then the later episodes let you digest what they've crammed down your throat, culminating in this complete TURD of a finale. Not a very sophisticated review, but as others have so eloquently summized....W...T...F?!
Why would the cop shoot the fisherman? Why didn't he just go back and kill Ronald, then "find" the girls and set them free? The girls didn't know he was involved and all they could testify to is Ronald kidnapped them. He'd get rid of the nut job/loose cannon, Ronald, and get the people looking for the girls off his back. He could come up with a scenario where Ronald killed Cody, and not have yet another missing person case with the fisherman. Just sayin'....
Not sure what I was supposed to take away from this episode...super uneven tone. The over-acting was confusing, especially every scene at the prison. I didn't know if i should be worried for the kids or chuckling; was I still watching The Rookie, or did Brooklyn 99 come on? The scene at Elvis' company with the active shooter was the same, a totally legit situation, but shot in a way where I didn't know if I should take it seriously. Just "off".... I'm going to call it on the director. Least favorite episode this year.
