You'd think a multi-million dollar show would have a better action sequence.What on earth was that scene where Ahsoka , Sabine and Ezra are dodging bullets from over 50 storm troopers , oh my god. That was sooo bad. Even I would have directed a better action sequence.
There is so much fury in Rosario Dawson's face while battling , but we can hardly see any of that in her fights and the result is embarrassingly cringe .
So we finished one complete season and we still haven't gotten a clue as to what Baylon Skoll's arc is? The actor has passed away , rest his soul , so I wonder what on earth would they do now .
The storm troopers usually have a zero plot armour in the movies , here they have been dialled down to -100.
And the director's idea to wrap up this garbage of a finale was to show a glimpse of Anakin in the end? Do you expect us to give a standing ovation for that?
Very very disappointing

@TheBabaYaga Show: has practically an entire episode dedicated to the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka and has a conversation in the finale about how Anakin was always there for her.
You: what was the point of having Anakin show up at the end, was it just supposed to be a fan service cameo?
Either you didn't pay attention to the show, or you're just looking for things to nitpick about and you decided a popular character showing up was an easy target.
How come this was cancelled and shit shows like 'The Following' have 3 seasons ?!

Shit brings money, that's why! But there are countries preferring quality over watch counts. If u liked this series, try Psycho-Pass.
Basically just a boring filler episode. There was only ~3 minutes of content actually worth watching, and it was all at the end.

@Elicx Yes, we knew she had been bite that is a call back. You get to see her get bitten and how. Plus
1. We get to see Ellie’s training to be a fedra officer in the fedra military school call back to ep 1 when Marlene said she put her there.
2. We meet Riley callback to ep 1 when Ellie calls Marlene a terrorist and Marlene asks if Riley was a terrorist.
3. We learn where Ellie got her book of puns call back to ep 4(I think)where she’s been sharing it with Joel and now we know why it’s important enough for her to keep.
4. We learn more about Ellie’s lack of family (mentioned episode 1).
5. We see her fight and kill her first infected with a pocket knife callback to when she also try to attack Joel much the same way in ep 1.
6. We see Ellie think she’s going to die. Call back to ep 1 when her and Marlene discuss weather she’s going to turn.
7. We see that Riley got bitten as well which is likely her first experience with loss (the one she is relating to with Joel over the loss of his daughter Sarah in episode 6)
Those don’t include the character development or world building.
Just to make sure we are on the same page we are talking about ep 7 right ?
What a cute episode. I'm surprised there are so many people calling it a filler episode when in reality this is what the show is all about - what is happening to "the last of us" - which includes how people survive, why they want to survive, how they continue life, what they choose to fight for and who they choose to fight for. The part that I don't understand is why when you find this well guarded place, now uninhabited, with power and supplies and a radio, you would choose to leave...

@8lettersuk - Well said, that is exactly what the show is about, the many faces of humanity (literally and figuratively).
About Joel and Ellie choosing to leave - at this point they still have their mission to get Ellie to the Fireflies... further encouraged by the guilt that came with losing Tess (Joel feeling like he failed to protect her, and Ellie knowing she's immune and unable to do shit to help others... yet), Tess, whose last words were to beseech Joel to continue the mission... sigh... yeah...
I could have skipped this episode and missed nothing.

Ignoring the ignorance for a moment, imagine if this episode had just been Joel and Ellie arriving at an abandoned town that just happened to have a truck with a working battery, supplies, and guns (things they need to move forward). That would have been unearned and confusing. Even if Joel had said “these guys have lots of stuff oh good they’re dead so they don’t need it anymore” that would have simply been boring. Show, don’t tell, is a fundamental rule in TV and movies.
I dont like it. Why Bill is dead? This is The Last of Us not a romantic gay spin off of Bill and Frank!

Now I want an entire show that is a gay spinoff with Bill and frank.

@antiwoke Stop playing victim. No one cares about your delusional anti-woke bullshit. And yeah, sometimes life is unfair. Sort of like how you unfairly hate on people for their sexual orientation. The people you are homophobic towards don't choose their sexuality. But you being an asshole towards them, well that is a choice. A choice you deserve to be called out for. So boo hoo, poor you, no one cares, now shut the fuck up.
Except one great space battle nothing happening. Andor is a collection of boring and really great episodes. So far each story arch has started with a quite boring episode and endet with a fantastic episode. Would be nice if we got all episodes of an arch at the same time - make less episodes but each episode about 2 hours. Or make the opening episodes less boring ...

I love this pacing and the development of the characters and the universe. I have to completely disagree.
Absolutely unoriginal and boring. Incredible special effects.
None of the new characters have enough time or backstory for us to care about them, but they're also not throw away characters - the writers seemed to think we would be too triggered if a single good guy died. In fact, nobody died the entire movie - 100% of the enemies are bots. There aren't even meaningful interactions with agents outside of the ones Neo simulates.
The entire thing was just a big callback to what they did in the original trilogy. Lots of allusion and direct rips. All with killer special effects, but no substance. They think they're being meta and hip by acknowledging it, but that doesn't make it better; their horrible post credits scene about "just needing to elicit an emotional response" and "uploading the catrix" makes it a lot worse.
Nothing in the movie has any deeper meaning. There are zero stakes. The new human city isn't at risk. The Matrix isn't at risk. Literally the entire movie is about Neo and Trinity needing to wake up and get out of the Matrix - if they don't, they will continue living, just inside the Matrix.
None of Smith's motives were clear. He went from being a very strong and interesting character in the original trilogy to a very weak and aimless character here.
Cheapening the power of the One is really detrimental to the film. The Analyst's idea that "Neo was nothing special by himself, he needed Trinity" is ridiculous. It's rather as the Architect said "Neo's attachment to humanity was very intimate." He was still the One with or without Trinity, and his powers were unique to that position. So the idea that the machines can somehow use Neo and Trinity to enhance power generation of the Matrix by keeping them close is both fundamentally flawed on top of being ridiculous. And then letting Trinity be the one to fly them out of danger at the end just steals everything from Neo.
Despite everyone assuring Neo that his fight mattered, it seems that the world is almost identical to where it was at the start of the original Matrix movie. The Matrix is a prison. The humans are hiding in a city to keep back the hostile machines. It doesn't seem like they're freeing many minds. The only difference is that now some machines are on their side - something that's never really explained. This new alliance has yielded the incredible result of.. fruit. Neo's entire fight gave humanity fruit. That's it.
The Analyst and the machines seemed incompetent and weak. The machine on machine violence was very interesting and could have been instrumental in explaining the resurgence in war and restoration of the Matrix as a prison - so naturally it was only mentioned once offhand.
The world wasn't setup clearly or interestingly in a way to support a story existing within it. There is no substance, no stakes, and no point.
Overall it's a huge disappointment. The fact that the Reloaded and Revolutions were better movies that were more coherent and added more substance to the universe is testament to the extreme failure of this move.

some of this critique just isn't fair
for example, saying that two of the main heroes of the original trilogy trying to gain their freedom is "zero stakes" - people fighting for their own freedom (and love) isn't nothing, it's very much something - just because they weren't trying to save the whole world again doesn't mean there were zero stakes
also, this clearly put the new human city at risk, because meddling with the system would draw the attention of the machines and piss them off
also, the matrix was clearly at risk, because both neo and trinity have godlike powers in it - once they remembered who they were and once their physical bodies were no longer under the control of the machines, the analyst lost control of the system that governs the lives of all the pod-people
smith also just wanted freedom and revenge on the analyst for taking it from him
neo's fight in the original films was far from pointless - we are told that it brought about an era of peace between humans and machines, which only ended because of a coup or a civil war among the latter - an act of heroism doesn't need to stop all wars for all eternity in order to be considered heroic or useful, stopping one is more than enough
and as you already said, this also made it possible for some of the machines to ally with humans, which is a pretty big deal when you think about it - probably has more benefits than fruit

@tsommerf yea your comment didn't age well huh. But nice try!
@yumakdust on planet called "Find good people in that film. Period".
But your people have to always find politics in movies their hate. And always turn blind eye to their favorite movies. If "Aliens" or "Alien" (the only good one in the franchise) came out in the last 5 years your guys won't shut up about "feminist agenda" in those movies. Or what about beta male character in "Arrival" and female hero (how dare they!) saving the day by the power of communication and not violence (cartoonish bad army guys aside the film was great, I agree)?!
Come on guys, don't play dumb. Let's be real here. There are a difference between making film feminist or pro-war and ham-fisted agendas (idk selling toys in cartoons for example). In the normal world word "agenda" would have been neutral by the way. Take "Starship Troopers" the movie is clearly political, it has anti-fascist agenda. Does it make film bad or insincere? I would say no. How about "1917"? It's none political, but it has anti-war agenda. TV series "Punisher" is none political, but has pro-guns agenda, which doesn't make season 1 bad in my opinion.
As for "Birds of Prey". It's feminist film (Both director and producer are feminist and talked about movie in those terms), it has surprisingly small amount of actual feminist agenda (neutral term - Alien and Terminator 1 and 2 also have some feminist agendas in them). However @Zephir 's "All Women = good, all men = bad" BS doesn't apply here. They tried to make it about politics. They also probably didn't even seen the movie. They just wanted to find something political to talk about and rile up crowd that always falls for "stop putting politics aka woman, gays, and people of any nationality or race accept mine in my movies" BS.
Booring feministic theme in this one.

@enwyn I was expecting for this episode to reveal the Beefers on this website.
This one was the most PC episode I saw in this year. I mean I understand being a bisexual is an important thing to Rosa, but it is not necessery to put on display for a whole episode. We'd get and accept her sexual orientation if it was presented in a more subtle way.

@cyn-c Just because it doesn't matter to you, doesn't mean it's not incredibly important to other people. Please consider this before you ignorantly dismiss a whole demographic of people and their struggles.
Besides last week's, this is my favorite episode this season. I missed Negan so goddamn much. Listening to him talking about his wife and seeing him, damn, that's his weak spot. It was great.
I loved the Negan-Gabriel interactions so damn much. It had me engaged the entire time, glued to the screen. The more Negan, the better the episode is.
Getting to see the human side of Negan was fantastic. JDM was outstanding in the meeting. The scene when Simon was talking and he just kept on slamming Lucille on the table was so intense and menacing. It was really crazy. He really cares about people. And I've got to say it, killing people in the right time to save others, he's got a point in there, and he's fucking right about it.
I love how this episode was a turning point of who the bad guys are. We've always sided with Rick and his people but it was the same for Negan: re-made yourself to survive or die. It was the same for everyone and I loved how they depicted it this episode. I loved that even though they show Negan as a psychopath, he wants to protect the workers.
I saw the Daryl-Rick fight coming long ago, but I enjoyed it, nevertheless. In all honesty, I hope there's more moral conflict between them.
Is Gavin's "Jesus Christ" while walking out the door his new catchphrase? I loved it. It's exactly the same way I would've reacted, lol.
That ending, though. Could Gabriel have been bitten before and that's why he confessed to Negan? It would make sense considering his intro monologue. That would be an interesting twist but I guess it's simpler than that. He simply got sick because of the guts, even Negan said he knew people who got sick because of it.
In a world with Negan and I choose to hate Gregory. That asshole only got up when he heard the word sorghum.
"I wear a leather jacket, I have Lucille, and my nutsack is made steel". Gotta love Negan.
And after all the freaking garbage people have done and Rick goes straight up to them, probably to show them the photos he took of the Saviors? Screw them.
A helicopter! WTF? Own a helicopter, win the war.

@sopherian Yeah, I enjoyed the episode and I don't care about how low the ratings are. If I like an episode I like it and I don't give a crap about what ratings other people give to the episode. I'm just interested in their opinions. The fact that the ratings are low it's something normal. Fewer shows can maintain the quality after so many years and keep the story going such as it was. But if people dislike an episode (as it seems people dislike this season) that's not gonna change my opinion. Moreover, all these people who dislike it keep on watching and watching just to bitch about it even more. It's complaining for conplaining's sake. People complain that there's not enough action,they give you action-packed episodes and people bemoan that they don't like it excuse they don't advance the story. Then people say they want more dialogue and less action. It's like whatever they're given, I know for sure they're gonna bitch about it. Of course I would like TWD to go to what made it so good in seasons 1 and 2. I want more walkers, but when an episode airs, people always find something to complain about and trash the episode (as well as the season) because of it. Every episode is a mixture of something amazing and incredible stupidity, but that has been for a long time now.
After all, no one hates TWD more than TWD fans.
