Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
The entire time I watched this episode, all I could think about was how is this guy still alive with all the stupid things he does?
There I am, engrossed for nearly an hour in one of the strangest stories I've been told in a while, and THEN I see the open credits appear. That it came at a point in the story where the 'weird' turned up 'extra', I must admit, my jaw dropped for a moment. If for no other reason, I can say, I did not expect that.
For a first episode, this does very little in terms of telling us more than Prairie... my bad, The OA, is... well what is she? I don't think any of us could guess from this first episode. The basic premise as it stands is: Blind girl disappears. Girl reappears with sight. She's tapped into something we can't see, but maybe some people can 'feel'.
The way the narrative is built, the way it engages you in a subtle way... yes, let's watch on and see where this goes, but as of this writing, I cannot guess as to what is happening.
This show is oddly creepy, but at the same time, inspiring.... I'd invoke 'Twin Peaks' but maybe it's too soon for that.
I can't recall feeling so emotional in the first episode of a tv show, it was so ethereal.
THE FUCKING CINEMATOGRAPHY TOWARDS THE END HOLY SHIT NUGGETS
Wasn't expecting this show to pull off a satisfying ending in the space of an episode but it did it.
Loved the reveal of that final loop and how they both realised what they needed to do. Also glad that they didn't take this in a romantic direction/conclusion. Yes the slept together once but it was just sex.
The latter section of the episode, with Alan and Nadia both resisting the help of the other. It reminds me of those intense friendships where there might be times when one pushes the other away. But they persist coz even though there is a bump now, you both know you're better with the other person in your life. If anything that's the message we should take away from this. If someone truly gives a shit, let them in. Coz it's rarer than you think...
What a fantastic season opener. Giving us enough information, but still leaving us hanging with multiple questions. This is gonna be a good show
I really liked the dance :)
One of the most moving pieces of tv I've ever watched. At the end of the episode you are totally involved.
Terrific road trip and recap of William's life with GREAT MUSIC!!! It's really a perfect episode for February - Black History Month. This one's a 10
I'm a wreck right now
This was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest episodes of television I've ever seen. The show in general is amazing, but this episode was just UNREAL. Sterling K. Brown and Ron Cephas Jones were simply breathtaking. WOW.
Don't think I've ever been so emotionally affected by a show before, so sad to see William go.
i am absolutely amazed by how realistically this show is representing racism. also, the part where all white people laughed at snow white was absolutely heartbreaking, i was so worried that she would somehow understand whats going on
Beautiful episode!
Kevin showed that he really love Kate by deciding to move to NY by himself and allowing her to follow her own path.
It was nice seeing that William gave up Randall but he wasn't just a junkie getting rid of his kid, he actually was lost at the time.
This show knows just how to get a reaction out of me. I love how these narratives and relationships are interwoven (especially with the time/generation difference). If each episode is going to have one of these surprise endings, I am not prepared.
Holy fucking shit... the last 3 episodes have been crazy!
An episode on par with the Red Wedding, no one expected what was to come here.
Misnamed and Grey Worm are sooooo adorable! I can't Oh Jorah nooo! Daenerys, why would you marry that awful guy?!!
Jamie and Bronn together are hilarious! His face when he realised how useful his fake hand could be...priceless! Grey Worm noooooo!
Wow, so many twists here! Next season is gonna be incredible and possibly the best one yet. Can't believe we have to wait another year for that!
Perfect episode! We get to see that Christians could be just as savage as the Vikings. I wonder what was the real reason for King Ecbert to spare Judith from an unavoidable punishment and appease Aethelwulf. Does he really think of Athlestan as a 'deeply spiritual' man? I mean, Athlestan did mention (in front of him) that he had two faiths. Maybe the king wants to use Athlestan as an ally in the future, but little does he know that... well.
Ragnar and Lagertha are grandparents, time really does fly! It was a nice gesture from Bjorn to name the little one Siggy.
It's such a pity that Athlestan will never see his own son, but at the same time it was fascinating to watch Floki being pushed over the edge by his raw emotions. He really is loyal to his Gods above all else. The ending was great too, I can only guess that Ragnar has gone completely mad (his people will not be pleased if they see him carrying a crucifix), but we'll see.
great episode, great scene at the leak really touched me sad to see her go
that conversation with ragnar and ecgbert really was great.
Love the conversation between Ragnar and King Ecgbert at the feast!
