I guess they want a season 2, that's why it ended like this...
Am I the only one who thinks it was Teresa's brother?
.........what kind of person retaliates against cheating by getting their spouse's sister arrested while their niece is missing?? what the fuck? who does that?
"Honestly, I'd murder for a Coke Zero."
I see that they're borrowing some ideas from the Daredevil series with these one-take fight scenes. It's well-fit for these types of characters.
WHAT. WHAT. HAHA NO FUCKING WAY. LAUREL FUCKING LANCE!?
That ending. Last thing I expected :O And we go on a fucking break. OH COME ON! Absolutely loved this episode. Best Arrow episode we've had in a long time (Barring the crossover)
Funny as hell and delightful rated R content. Was not disappointed.
This episode made me realize two things:
Who is going to be the Big Bad next season? The stakes don't really get any higher than the actual god of speed. How can they possibly top Savitar?
Barry is pretty slow for someone who calls himself "the fastest man alive", eh? He's not even in the top 10 if fucking Kid Flash has a better shot at saving Iris.
My stomach hurts from laughing. The Flash's had its ups and downs, but the one thing it consistently excels at is comedy. Cisco flirting with Gypsy, H.R.'s narration at the beginning of the episode, Joe and Iris' conversation at the precinct (poor Joe looked like he was about to have a stroke), Julian's complete lack of bedside manner, the list goes on. I love the humor on this show.
I'll never get over the way H.R. pronounces "Francisco". It's gold.
Cisco, my brave, selfless son. He kicked some serious ass in this eisode. I guess they're just beginning to really explore the extent of his powers.
Cisco and Gypsy were kind of cute. Once they got past the "I'm going to kill you" phase, that is.
I love that they jumped to Supergirl's Earth and fought in Cat's office at CatCo.
I want to see more of Iris the Badass Reporter. More often than not, she gets sidelined and doesn't do much except hang around S.T.A.R. Labs with no real purpose. Give her the storylines she deserves. Please. By the way, that scene where she faced the arms dealer at the warehouse got me thinking. She made a good point. If she's supposed to die 4 months from now, that means she's effectively immortal until then, right? I mean, what would happen if she went skydiving without a parachute? Or jumped into a pool full of hungry sharks? Or tried to learn to juggle chainsaws? Would she die, thus changing the future? I get dizzy trying to wrap my head around it.
HOLY SHIT!!! I KNEW IT!!
HE WAS HER SON!!
I always had that feeling.
BUT WTF?? LAUREL'S DAD PAID TO KILL WES!!
Man, she's gonna be more pissed when she founds out!
Oliver proposed!! OMG!! SAY YES Connor!
Michaela said it back to Asher!!
I can't wait for the new season.
Watching this episode, I couldn't help but be totally distracted by the fact that they recast Daario Naharis.
really excited for this :D
I swear to God one of these days I'm gonna break into set and steal all their smoke machines so they stop this nonsense of filling every possible space with smoke.
This series is so mindblowingly great
I'm still not sure about the story, but I adore the aesthetic. It's a real throwback to the early '80s. Even the end credits have a telecine wobble, what a nice attention to little details.
For those who didn't understand the episode,in the first scene the man killed the woman,the 'same woman' saw the murder and she run away.In the end she was her who killed the man,the 'same man' saw the murder so he became the witness and that take us back to the first scene and the loop goes on.
He said the little girls temp was 94F. That's hyperthermic. Not good at all.
Why did they choose two actors that doesn't look like teenagers at all?
Not as solid as I hoped. It's confusing for sure, but they could have done so so much more with this concept and world. But they didn't. It has left us with a story that is interesting, yet unrelatable. Things move way too fast and I would have preferred a longer runtime because it is that intriguing. And while the ending is great, the way that Nolan tries to merge the two viewpoints isn't done well. Leaving me feeling like my dad when he watches Transformers (2007) and asks who is who.
It needed to be simplified a little more because everything else is amazing. The effects, the overarching story, the acting. The music, however, is terrible and overblown to give a sense of action when there isn't enough happening. The only part where it worked well was in the final fight, but even then it needed to be quieter.
The cinematography is good as always, but I feel it is lacking compared to Nolan's previous work.
When it comes to action and the draw to this movie, the reversal shots. They deliver, but they are too and far between. It gives us great scenes of reversal action, then one drawn-out segment at the end that doesn't feel rewarding as like I said before, it isn't merged well.
This movie may grow on me more after a second viewing, but it left me in a state that I don't wish to see it again any time soon. It is not fun enough to see again, it is not engaging enough to associate and learn from. Something that Nolan has done well at in the past is his ability to leave questions with the audience after they finish his films. Here, it just provides answers and left me unsatisfied in that regard.
7/10
Great, Landon the useless character is back.
Is it just me or is there some circlejerk going on at Disney where they keep using the same group of actors over and over again for their different brands? Just stop using Taika Waititi already.
The movie itself is pretty whatever.
It reminded me a lot of Onward; you could do a lot worse, but it probably won’t be remembered within the broader Pixar catalogue.
Not a lot of depth or subtext with this one, it’s a pretty straight forward adventure (which is also fine of course).
Some good animation (lots of visual ideas are being pulled from Star Wars), decent voice acting, fine characters, story’s alright.
It’s kinda inoffensive and doesn’t really warrant some of the extreme reactions it’s gotten.
The whole ‘woke’ label is baffling to me, it just seems like a smokescreen certain people use to cover up for their own homophobia, which only emphasizes how the word ‘woke’ carries little to no meaning nowadays.
Any regular person will be fine watching this, regardless of their political leaning.
Ffs, it’s mass entertainment after all.
5/10
"Salt, Zelda, salt. What is this, currency back in your country?"
Unrelated to the episode, but I just realized that Astrid is also Succession's Willa. Justine Lupe definitely deserves much more credit, she’s a great actress.
I mean, they're both doing horrible things to each other. But why do I only feel bad for Dan? :( His face when he saw his car was gut-wrenching.
If Eddie killing himself erases RevFlash from the timeline, then who went back in time and killed Barry's mum? Who rigged the particle accelerator to explode and make the Flash? What put Eddie in the position that he felt he had to kill himself just then? Cisco, you're Vibe now. Explain this with movie references, because it does not make sense.
"I analyzed the typing speed and patterns on the hard drive." You WHAT? I so hate meaningless technobabble.
This show basically only takes the base concept from the movie (drug makes you smart). All the themes from the movie (dangers of addiction, intelligence vs knowing things, ect) are basically gone to make way for what the show is.
This show is "What if J.D. from Scrubs was in a police procedural and was also The Mentalist half the time". Any worries about getting more of the drug is gone, they never really show the withdrawal he must go through each day, there are no long term damages from taking the drug. The show is really just another goofy genius fights crime show. Which is fine? It is still pretty good.
Not the movie, still fun-ish.
Pike saved Octavia more than once to try and redeem himself. Warrior Princess wannabe had to kill him anyway. She f'd one grounder so that makes her Xena ?
Solid episode nevertheless.
My guess is that Nate is the one who died. We'll see what happens.
Geez, this episode was a rollercoaster. I have so many thoughts and I’m not sure if I can express all of them properly, but I’ll try.
First of all, Mon-El is not bad, but he’s not particularly interesting either. I really hope he and Kara will stay friends and nothing more. His scenes with Winn were pretty great, though. And hungover Winn is absolutely hilarious.
Something about Lena Luthor’s accent has been bothering me since the season premiere, and I finally got around to looking up Katie McGrath. She’s Irish, as it turns out. My ears weren’t deceiving me. By the way, is Lena evil? Does she know Kara is Supergirl? Something about their conversation and the way she stared after Kara seemed shady. Frankly, I don’t care if she’s one of the good guys or a villain. I’m fine with either.
Miss Martian is a White Martian! I’m having an aneurysm! I didn’t see that one coming at all. What an awesome plot twist. I really enjoyed the relationship between her and J’onn in this episode and I can’t wait to see what will happen when J’onn finds out who she really is.
"- I offered to merge with her in the Martian way.
- But you guys just met."
I literally had to pause the episode because I was laughing too hard. Oh, Kara.
Dichen Lachman is always a win. Dichen Lachman playing a villain in a red dress with sick tattoos? Double win. I hope we’ll see Roulette again at some point.
Alex „Fight Me” Danvers, the same Alex Danvers who throws herself at aliens twice her size without hesitation, stutters and gets flustered when a pretty girl compliments her. What an awkward baby gay. I love her so much.
Why did Maggie take Alex’s hand? Don’t tell me it was for the mission because there was no need for them to hold hands. I’m pretty sure the writers only threw that in to give me (and Alex) a heart attack.
Of course Maggie has a girlfriend who conveniently showed up when Alex was trying to ask Maggie out. I hate it when they do that. We all know that the girlfriend is just a plot device created for the sole purpose of keeping Alex pining for Maggie for a little longer. They did basically the same thing with Kara, James and Lucy last season, except Lucy ended up actually getting some character development and being relevant to the plot. I’m willing to bet it won’t be the case here.
Shoutout to Chyler Leigh for her phenomenal work. She did an amazing job of showing Alex’s inner turmoil, sadness and disappointment with just her facial expressions as she watched Maggie leave. It was stunning to watch.
