Salem's been looking really strange in the last few episodes, and I think I know why. They changed puppets for the second half of season one, and again for season two.
The puppets used in the second half of the first season were the result of the network's art direction. It would seem that people high up in Animal Makers disliked the look of these puppets but they had to serve the specific comments of ABC.
Two new puppets were created for season two.

In this episode, House finally chose to see if there really is an "afterlife", by sticking a knife into the wall socket. I believed that he did saw something. There were some silent shots of him reflecting. Those were great shots.
Just 25 minutes in and I think Westworld could be the next Battlestar Galactica. It's more dark than the movie from the 70's. Just not sure why the engineers don't see all the crazy shit Ed Harris has been up to though. If they are always watching the robots.
Still, as a fan of the original movie, this show is pretty kick ass and I can't wait for more. The movie is pretty outdated and this show makes a great insanely awesome update. Even if all of it doesn't make complete sense so far.
The fastest man alive can't even stop a dart-kind tranquilizer? Fuck logic. Good luck with Savitar.
Wow. Gotta give props to Studio DEEN with the "boob physics" in this episode. Well done. Boing/10.
And how can this masterpiece only have 10 episodes this season?!?!?! That is a crime against humanity.
You know what, fuck this show, and the writers, and the poorly written plot and overused plot twists! What the hell happened to this show, it had so much potential, how did they let it get this bad? Not sure if they got renewed for s4, but I doubt I'll be watching it. I'm done.
Why do billionaires in tv land always want to adopt children or raise their children to become crime fighters? lol
I'm slowly losing interest.
[8.6/10] It's amazing how an episode about a hot-button issue like homosexuality from ~25 years ago can still feel so well-done and relevant today, without ever seeming overly preachy. The gist of how "Homer's Phobia" accomplishes this is simple -- it delves into Homer's fears about gay people but (a.) always depicts John as a decent, charming, and endlessly patient guy, and (b.) depicts Homer's anxieties as ridiculous and harsh but also realistic for someone of his age and upbringing. It makes Homer seem believably boorish and overblown about the whole thing, while John is consistently delightful, making Homer's rudeness toward him and homophobia seem all the more misguided.
Beyond that, it's a really funny episode. John Waters is a natural as a voice actor, and he brings John to life while giving him a rhythm of speech that makes him engaging and immediately sets him apart from the rest of Spingfield. The steel mill is an all-time great sequence. And the show pokes such fun at the idiocy of Moe, Barney, and Homer trying to "stop" Bart from turning gay that it manages to make their concerns seem hopelessly backward but also wrings comedy from it.
Again, it's so impressive that an episode that tackled an issue that's changed a lot in the public consciousness over the past couple of decades still manages to thread the needle to where it seems sensitive and still funny.
Yeahhh I can't tell you how happy I am how this season finale ended so bad. Everything in this episode is just bad bad bad.
On positive side, this was the last straw for me to leave this serial alone. Say my goodbyes to the characters just like Barry did from his friends and family.
[Spoiler alert] did you get that the evil Barry Allan killed all the poor meta-bastards locked in starr-labs with his philosopher's stone.
That's genocide bruh.
Sure they are evil, but killing trapped criminals. Damnnn
She's an awful therapist.
I have to say that personally, I like Will Yun Lee's performance as Takeshi Kovacs a lot more.
Joel Kinnaman does a decent job, but he's not that engaging for me.
Most authentic, non-woke, show both sides, non hyperbolic, real, not out of the headlines, depiction of both sides with neither side winning or losing. Just learning.
Terrible show. I liked it at first but then the producers had back to back episodes that they went political and had major liberal bias. No thanks. They could have presented an idea and been less bias, but they didn’t. I have too many shows to watch. I don’t think this one in my life.
That last scene was brutal and super gory. Hard to believe this is a marvel show.
What.the.actual.fuck.
"I am the Flash, and I don't exist anymore".
Seriously, what the hell was that? Anyways, I'm not gonna say it was horrible, cause it wasn't. Sure it had some writing issues (aka Speedforce), but it's not the worst I've seen. At least we didn't go back to Barry's house the night his mom got murdered so I'm calling it a win. It wasn't as good as the other two finales, but it was entertaining and we got to see a shot of the three Flash running together which got me too hyped.
Savitar, the God of Speed, a guy who can time travel, who can vibrate his hand through your chest and kill you in a heartbeat, gets downed by a freaking bullet? Like seriously? I couldn't believe it, then I realized he's still Barry and I understood. Bullets and tranq darts got to be Barry's worst enemy.
H.R., I was ready to watch another Wells die. He's the real hero. He fucking sacrificed himself to save Iris. He alone changed the future in just a second. Like he once said, a hero among heros. Drumsticks up for him! And then, everyone was just chilling with his death? He died and they got over it too fast.
Savitar kills Iris everybody: "oh no, you horrible monster. My life is ruined. What do we do now? I'm depressed"
Savitar kills H.R. instead Everybody: "oh it's ok, everything is fine. Don't you worry, we're gonna get you some help". The only person who understood him was Tracy. She was the only one with common sense.
I'm royally pissed off that Black Flash got killed by a single cold blast. Like what the hell, RF has been trying to escape from him for a whole season and he get kaputt like that? No way in hell. And Savitar is defeated by a freaking bullet? For God's sake. RF, one of the smartest people in the multiverse couldn't figure out that freeze was the only thing he needed to survive.
Black Flash getting killed with a single cold blast and Savitar with a bullet was dumb as hell. I guess you can't lock up the darkness, but you can freeze it to death.
I personally don't mind at all that they showed things with dealing with Covid-19. Everyone knows that it exists and is going on and shows are suppose to be like real life so it would be senseless to just pretend that it doesn't exist. I am glad that this show is back, it's a great show, and I at least like how they addressed the pandemic and that they showed life beyond it. A job well done!
Not to bad, unless you actually want an ending to a show you just spent 10 hours watching. It was decent but I generally hate cliffhangers. Certainly needs another season to finish the story.
I'm glad they finally did something useful with Klaus's power.
"I wonder what the Penguin's doing right now."
Classic Lalatina episode here. Sometimes I think they take the M part of Darkness's character a little too far where it isn't really that funny anymore, but in this episode, it worked out perfectly especially the final duel between Kazuma & Darkness. In the end, Kazuma/Kazutrash is truly the only one meant to be with Darkness. Can't wait for the whole gang to be complete again.

What an epic season finale! Geez, Jon Bernthal is The Punisher just like Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. This season was really amazing, and not only Bernthal's acting was great, but the rest of the cast too. Just loved it. Ready for season 2.
Should have had a mask tbh
Sad to see this one go, loved the stories and the characters. Always loved that it was messy and real. But alas good shows are cancelled and rubbish continues
OMG...the level of stupidity in this episode is too much. Mother tells kids “don’t go in the basement”. What do you think they are going to? I thought she’s raised 3 kids. Obviously she didn’t learn anything. Also the kids are super capable as proven by previous episodes...but the mother doesn’t tell the kids about Dr. Smith. What the hell are the writers thinking...
Judy is annoying as shit. Sacrificed the fuel for no reason. Stupid lesson.
I thought this was a great first season. Cheesy, funny, exciting, thrilling and interesting. What more can you want? Excited for what comes next.
The stupidity continues...Dr. Smith is knocked out by Judy’s injection but some how wakes up in 2 minutes. Judy must be a terrible doctor to not get the dosage right.
Hot damn! That musical number, though! I had to go back and watch it again, that's how cool it was! So far, the music this season has been on point!
One thing that'll forever remain a pet peeve of mine is how doctors (especially the female ones) just go around opening people up with their hair all loose. Like, I'm no doctor, but that HAS to be a HUGE no-no, right?
This episode served as a backdoor pilot for the spin-off "The Finder".
It is also the only episode to stray from the Noun-Preposition-Noun naming scheme.
Strangely, Booth states in this episode that he had to go AWOL in order to be present for Parker's birth. All prior sources indicate that Booth was already working for the FBI by then.
