The very end is a little disappointing. Nancy didn't wind up with who wanted her with. While the kids got over 11's sacrifice a little too quickly.
The show is like a book I couldn't put down. But I think the end could have been better. Hopefully there's a season 2 to give answers about what we were left with.
11 some how communicating with Mike is what I expected but
instead we got left with it being teased that I guess Will has monster slugs in him. Which could have even taken over his body.
That was haunting and creepy. So hopefully we do get some answers and maybe even 11 brought back some how. Either way if Mike wasn't going to wind up with 11.
Nancy not with Jonathan in the end was pretty annoying. "Oh cool, she got me another camera, I will just be alone taking pictures of stuff."
I just can't stand with the comments calling her a slut, etc. I think she's free to live her sexuality and have sex with whoever she wants. She's not officially dating the weird guy. So, stop judging her.
I don't know why some people are shocked at the ending. It’s basically the plot line of Crime and Punishment (the allusions to the book were given frequently). Joe isn’t punished in the sense of being in prison, and even though he’s technically free, now he is stuck with a girl just like him and a baby on the way when he would rather be with a “normal” girl he can manipulate and control. He is trapped and it’s a Gone Girl-esque ending. He even compared his new home with Love to a Siberian prison.
It was so funny watching Joe judge Love for all the shitty things she’s done. Like she was somehow worse. His murder sprees are not repulsive to him because he did them and he felt justified. That logic does not extend to others, just him. It’s a perfect mirror for showing just how delusional Joe is. The series isn’t about how he finds love. It’s about how Joe is a predator, using love as a way to convince himself he’s doing things for the right reasons. The whole point of Joe's character is that he will never be satisfied. It’s in his nature to crave what he can’t have. That’s why I thought the ending was perfect. Of course he is already interested in his “normal” neighbor. He is going to start fantasizing about her to escape his “tortured existence”.
Totally saw the Love twist coming from a thousand miles away. She was always coming on strong. Her killing Delilah was super predictable too. I actually liked that they made her psycho because Joe somewhat got a taste of his own medicine.
Overall, I enjoyed this season, but:
I’m a little disappointed in the lack of creativity. Season 2 had a lot of similar storylines to the first one: Love is the new Beck, Ellie - the new Paco.
Realism isn't necessary in fiction but some of the plot holes were annoying. How did Candace know exactly which storage unit was Joe’s? How could Forty turn on Joe so fast? Officer Fincher thought Joe could have been the murderer because of some expensive headphones but has done absolutely nothing about it. Joe reconstructing the glass box in the storage container was a bit of a stretch for me. This whole season, while entertaining, is completely unrealistic. It requires all characters to be morons and the hugest of coincidences to happen at every turn.
I was incredibly disappointed absolutely nothing from Joe's old life came back (other than Candace). He moved to a new city and changed his name - poof all his problems are solved? What happened to the PI the Salingers hired?
Candace's character had potential. They hyped her up in the first season so I thought she would do something but no, she didn't have an actual plan and was outmatched at every turn.
Was it the writers intention to insert cringy millenial jargon into every possible piece of dialogue? Really went too far compared to last season. And all the "woke" dialogue was so cringe, boring and trite.
Gina Rodriguez ("Awake", "Miss Bala") shows some surprising comedic chops as a once promising writer, who chased after a relationship that didn't work out, only to return home to her old gig and find that her besties have kind of moved on without her, one now being her supervisor, and the stuck up rich girl they used to make fun of now runs the newspaper where she works. Rather than simply continuing where she left off, she finds she was a pity hire, and is stuck in a LITERAL closet to pen obituaries for obscure people who have shed their mortal coils.
Hilarity ensues when she meets a friendly old man while she is drowning her sorrows, only to find him in her flat the next morning, where she discovers she is pretty much channeling "Cole" from "The Sixth Sense", until she figures out what they need from each other, and pens the appropriate commentary on their life and passing. In the interim, she ends up discovering just as much about herself, and learns there may be more to herself, her workmates and others than her first impressions.
Pilot episode had some laugh out loud moments, and, I look forward to seeing if they can keep this fresh and interesting throughout the season.
I don't think either the Demagorg or Eleven are dead, I guess El and the thing just got to the Upside Down and then she closed the portal somehow. The slugs inside Will are probably going to be the key to find a way in, the next season. Hopper sure knows something more than us, first the encounter with the government guys outside the hospital and then the food in the middle of nowhere.
I like to think of myself as having cognitive functions that generally work okay, but I have to admit that I've been thoroughly stumped by the relative chronology of these last three episodes. Did the two Holiday episodes exist in an alternate universe? Did they time skip ahead? If so, why did the time skip back for this episode? Were the Holiday episodes, in fact, a dream? I know Good Trouble has been doing funky things with chronology since the very beginning, but that's generally been within the confines of single episodes. Someone please explain this thing to me, because apparently I'm too dense to grok what's happened here.
a episode isnt bad because a character died, fu*k people who is downvoting here and IMBD because of Lexa's death, it was vital to move the plot foward, there was no other way and Lincoln died, yes, but we dont know the repercusions is going to have
also characthers die all the time in shows like this, get over it its FICTION, chill and enjoy the plot please.
edit: WTF with people harassing writers and producers of the show? the fanbase is disgusting
This is absolutely bull***. Why all the other vampires from the stone still alive? They were ALL thrown in the bodies of vampires? They should be decaying like Stefan was.
What is up with Chuck's storyline ??
i like this episode but i feel like maddie & chimney are such a good couple, they deserved more than a hospital wedding. was this all really necessary?
I am honestly so OVER Belly’s ridiculously messy love triangle, and I only want more Steven and Taylor!
OKAY BUT THIS SCENE WOW
Where is my mother?
I ate her
I didn't even know that was possible
Anyone else kinda wants Adam and Eric to get together? Adam is super mean but I can't help it
Michael Langdon's entrance was phenomenal! Can't wait to learn more of him. Also, really digging this new Sarah Paulson character as a vilain instead of her usual crying and screaming. Let's see what's next episode is like... can't wait. Also, also. I am so giddy to see the opening credits with elements from Coven and Murder House, always loved how different it is every season, i hope this season lived up to what those 2 season gave!
I really want to like this show because i like the story of the books but this show is just awful they can't do anything right! Terrible actors they are. and the script is the worst.
Graveyard scene is one of the best scenes in the history of television! Wow!
and the award for worlds slowest elevator goes to...
holy fuck evan peters wearing make up and having sex with a black guy just improved my life quality from 480p to 1080p
Enjoyed this way more than i thought i would.... and i dont even follow Baseball but its something ive always been curious about
I'm thinking eleven caused the portal. And she's scared to go back. It looks like the creature is definitely attracted to blood. Barb's bloody finger...the deer.
Did i understand that correctly? Has Piper accidentally started a White Power KKK gang?!
I began questioning my own existence after this episode.
The last 15 minutes of the episode made me so happy. I fucking love this show -- you can realise the true happiness is on simple things. Remind us to be sensitive.
four episodes in and abc gave me everything I ever wanted fox you are NOTHING to me
I am loving Stevie so far. And Eugene Levy's eyebrows should be credited separately lol
Mulder: What's a girl?
That time when Jodie Foster voiced an arm tat.
Why the hell do they always hire actors that cannot speak spanish, at all? If you know the language you can tell they're just repeating phonetically, but they don't know what they're saying.
