This was a great episode but it made me wonder why did they lead the show and even bothered producing those first two absolute garbage episodes when they clearly are able to have decent ones like those last two?
So... we had an awesome first episode and this one is about... pooping???
I enjoyed that a lot more than I expected to. I was nervous about them reworking the Klingons (again), but found it interesting instead.
I don't like the main title sequence but can appreciate that they wanted to try something different for the 5th spin-off series. Perhaps they'll change it every season like Outlander and The 100. I like the main character, I'll just need to get used to the ridiculousness of her name being Michael. Almost every series has a main character that is annoying beyond words. Looks like Stretch is this seasons Neelix/Quark/Crusher/Reed.
The fastest man alive can't even stop a dart-kind tranquilizer? Fuck logic. Good luck with Savitar.
They promised the truth and omg did they deliver ! This episode changes everything about the show, I can't wait to see the rest of the season !
The main actor is so perfectly cast! The writing needs some work, but when it goes with Matt Ryan, the show is flawless. I hope it gets a S2, because it has potential when they let it be. Also the comics are great, so with that source, there is a lot to work with. The thing is that Ryan is 100% Hellblazer, but a lot of the show is more like early Supernatural.
This show has nothing exceptional about it at all. It's pretty lame and cookie cutter. Disappointing.
It wasn't awful, but, I think I must be the only person in the world who didn't think it was great. There were times when breaking out into song mid-conversation without some sort of elaborate set-change didn't make sense, The 2 leads weren't exactly talented singers or dancers -- no wow numbers. The sets improved by the time the final number rolled around, but the singing and dancing remained an afterthought.
omg what a cool scishow finally something complex and bold. they say it's the show that's standing up to BsG, but I say it's time we had a space opera that's worthy.
also, I'm amazed how many details they can cram up inside a pilot without getting it too overloaded.
a big plus for me are the space cam sequences and the sfx are eye candy.
a minus is the fact that even today's tv shows can't avoid this trap: there's no soundwaves in space, the vacuum has no air to propell the sound. so why the frak do we always hear big booms and afterburners ?
all in all, this is one to keep your eyes on.
Wanted to see what all the buzz was about... I've watched 5 episodes and got bored out of my mind. Feels like it's targeted for teenagers.
It has a very simplistic take to it: ultra-hyper-dramatization of very basic concepts and bad behaviors of a minority of people. Reviews say it raises questions about society and politics but does not provide arguments or details either way. The stories are sometimes interesting but lack any depth and in the end, it's the idea that counts, or so they say. Just presenting basic questions with no details and some vague/weird drama only makes people argue and thus promoting the series. I find it pretentious.
One of the society satires i enjoy is South Park which most of the times present quite a complete picture about a topic with multiple perspectives and arguments. Compared to South Park at that, Black Mirror is kind of showing you only what the main character(s) see.
I hope Ford faked his death with a Host version of himself.
Alex' coming out was so pure/real and important fml. Yes straight ppl this is how you develop a gay character. That storyline is real as fuck IT HAPPENS IN THE FUCKING REAL LIFE so get over the "the writers just want to please the gays or can the writers stop writing stories that have nothing to do with their sexual preference?". We need/deserve this rep. And finally, i'm so glad the writers pulled this off i'm really looking forward to see maggie falling for alex ahhhhh fuck
If you're about to begin with Pretty Little Liars, let me tell you something:
You will love it on seasons 1 & 2 because of the unpredictable shocks and enormous suspense
You will hate it (but secretly you will love it) on seasons 3 & 4 because of the levels of delicious stupidity that the show reaches, but when you reach this point you are going to patiently wait for another episode because you desperately want to know what happens, even that you know that you will not get any answers until the finales.
This is how you make a good trashy tv show!
One of my favorites!
Ends on cliff hanger. Starts new ep. 5 minutes in its good. next 40 minutes its quite disappointing. Ends on cliff hanger. Repeat.
Just how many times can Bobbie make a decision that will change her life forever?
On the other hand, doesn't every decision we make change our lives, as each road taken means that several other possibilities may have been lost forever?
When I first got into this show I only expected spaceships and aliens, not these questions about life, the universe, and everything.
Dear Savitar. Please kill everyone, maybe except Caitlin and Cisco. Thank you.
this show is so fucking ridiculous the force of that plane would have ripped them apart gOD
What the heck? This episode was released as the seventh episode, and now they released it again? Where is the real "Van V Emily" then?
When Jeremiah Danvers is rescued from Cadmus, OHMYGODYAY Alex and Kara are thrilled to have their father back. Aww, good for them I'm so happy for them! The Danvers arrange a family dinner to celebrate Aww, that's gonna be so cool to watch but things go awry when Is it Mon-El again? a suspicious Mon-El starts to question Jeremiah about his sudden return. Ffs Mon-El, can't you please be any good for this show?
It seems that hard sci-fi series are back in the game. Besides Black Matter and the Killjoys we have now the Expanse. Comparing the three pilot episodes, this one was the best. They did a decent job in building a large universe with clear rules and relationship (in Black Matter we know next to nothing about the bigger picture of the universe and in the Killjoys it is too complicated and bad explained). They had nice ideas with G-forces and general orbital mechanics, but in the end the whole physics in this episode is bogus. If they refine their character and really use their sci-fi setting it has the potential to become a really cool series. The risk is to do a story which could be told in any setting without science fiction, often caused by lazy writing.
Good acting, it is a shame they went with the Scooby Doo writers guild. They had so many options for the writers to do more than making just another cop show. Zombies, crime writers, cops from the future, people with amnesia all fighting crime. Seems that the only professions that exist in TV land are cop, cop sidekick, doctor or lawyer.
I REALLY don't get why most people didn't like it. In my opinion it really worked quite neatly
a,my and rory are dead dont touc h me
I can't believe I spent a whole day watching 8 episodes of this junk.
So disappointing.
Might be my second favorite episode of the season, right after the explosion episode a few back. I loved the single location Naomi episode. The show really brought out her struggle after being out in space and now fighting for the survival of herself and her friends. I must get bit cocky, in that I also thought of her solution. Interrupt the broadcast, to notify others something is up. admittedly i didn't think of interrupting the message as a whole to make a new message .. rather, I thought about putting intervals between broadcasts that would translate to a SOS. .. hers is better.
I thought this was better than the last couple of episodes. Eve going fully feral for a second there with Dasha was maginifcent (Sandra Oh EGOT when), Villanelle got a couple chuckles out of me in that first scene ("thank you for the inappropriate touching"), and Konstantin and Dasha ending up in the same hospital might lead to some really funny interactions. Can't believe the season is ending next week, is it just me or does it feel like not much has happened? Nothing, even Niko getting stabbed or Kenny dying or Villanelle murdering her family felt all that impactful.
I get it, it has to be funny because of the transitions and randomness, but I don’t find this nonsense entertaining.
12 episodes later, I am still trying to figure out what is this series is about
