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:
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.
still not sure of the scheduled air dates, since I just watched this on AMC+. Just posting in case others are trying to figure it out, too.
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....
I'm too hot n cold on this show to bother going back, so how does Kelly have her hair back?
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.
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.
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.
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'....
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.
Grest acting, otherwise, udder f'g nonsense.
She takes him down and steps over him and doesn't try to pull off his mask? Lots of dumb shit throughout, but this was a whole other level of WTF...
Lots of folks getting tired of crazy Beth, can't say I disagree. I'd like to present a different "beef" (yeah, I said it) in how she's written for entertainment value only: remember last season when John finally tells her he's disappointed in her and she uncharacteristically crumbles? Remember why? Because of her being cruel in how she treated, and basically sacrificed, Summer. Now we're supposed to believe Beth would just go right back to attaching her, right in front of John? Seems unlikely, even for unhinged Beth. Just sayin'...
The main mystery to me is why did Denzel do this steamer...
One reasonable, relatable, tolerable character out of 20... that's a hard no. I think I almost chuckled once, but it was more our of desperation than content. Unfortunately, one and done for me.
Yeah, they went balls out in this one...
"So a stunt driver, a surgeon and a fry cook, what don't you know how to do? "....uh, open a door.
I knew it would be frustrating going in, and it is. Like they still haven't addressed the knife that was found. I'm sure they will, but dragging it out is just formulaic false intrigue. Obviously good enough to keep watching, but could be 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.
Agree with other's notes on why Russia would leave Margo ro the Americans. I
am curious what happened to Massey & Palmer.
I need to be reminded, where did Margo get her limp?
I see "stupid" in a lot of the comments, just not in enough of them. Too many issues to note, but how about "can I get a tissue?" WTF? And she dupes the same cop that figured out who all the hijackers were earlier, when all the national agencies didn't? I wonder if one of the writer's name is stupid, or that's just what people call 'em?
Hate to be slow, but who did he shoot/kill?
Some really good stuff, including top notch acting.....but.... Pam not knowing who Karen was, seems preposterous. She would have seen her on TV, newspapers, and whatever else. Small thing, but the quality of the rest of it makes it a bit more glaring. Hope they don't leave the cosmonaut's story untold, 'cause he had some 'splaining to do when he got back.
Just horrible writing. It's driving me crazy how nonchalant they are in the handling of these highly sought space rocks, not because of being valuable, but their potential of being harmful to us. It continues in their reaction to Halan being effected by them..."oh, look at that"...WTF? I'm only staying with it because I'm a Lena Headey fan and MGM+ has put out some good product (until this).
Finsh gets a 5, Goodyear a 7 (cause I'm a dog lover] and Jeff a 10. The Finch being a dick scenes really brought nothing to the story or character, other than you seeing he was basically a dick. Why? His death would have been much more impactful if they let you like him more. Just sayin '...
So, continued lazy writing: the most obvious for me being the WTF Eugene group escape... Next time these two guards have sex and take off their uniforms, when all the other guards are gone, and they've left our cage open, let's take their uniforms and walk out. And I'd just like to reiterate what others have already noticed "sleeping zombies". Actually, watching all those zombies sleeping thru this insanity made me a little jealous.
a bit overstylized for my taste.
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.
