Great episode, but (minor nitpick) they shouldn’t have had Bella go from crying to being perfectly fine and the two of them walking away (and towards a lake? They gonna swim in it or something?) at the end. Bella should’ve cried a tad longer so it didn’t seem to abrupt. She also didn’t cry “Joel” like in the game which stuck out to me.
Again, minor nitpicks but great overall.

@malus92 fine? you call that despair and shock and utter dissociation on the look on her face fine?
Just to remind myself, if I ever rewatch this, to skip episodes 3 and 7.

@baroines I hope they didn't damage you too severely.
How is it that a small base in the middle of the forest has methods to check if they are letting a human or an android into their base? Yet the big base in Boston that even has an EMP available just brings anyone in?
This lapse in thinking through their story points basically makes the climax of the movie, and everything thereafter, null and void.

@gamallama plus NOBODY is standing next to the EMP in Boston with a walkie-talkie in their hands, ready to press the button? Only the woman who has just given birth thought about the EMP in the whole city, right?
New season, Same shit.
Time to end it, maybe?loading replies
@redouaaane Second that.
"Hey some funding", "damn we fucked up", "oh some new funding", "we got screwed", "saved b4 season finale, woho"
Only thing new in the seasons are some good "programmer dad jokes". The rest is just a story on repeat. boring.
Show is Getting worse.
Inserting propaganda.
The moment the uttered the words “right wing”, I lost respect for the show.

All domestic terrorism in our recent history has been of the right wing variety. Makes sense.
That was just painful, in SO many ways...

@cmonster Care to elaborate? What was painful? That it's ending? The acting? What?

VIP10Very slow, very boring, very pretentious, very crap, I would rather sever my leg than sit through another episode.

Wow, tough crowd. Don’t watch it then?
Filler episode that added nothing to the story long-term. Meh.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, it just confuses me that with a long journey people would think they wouldn’t run into obstacles especially in a post apocalyptic dystopian world. Makes me wonder why Peter Jackson spent 11+ hours on 3 films to tell the lord of the rings(we’re not going to talk about the hobbit)when he could have much more easily spent 30-45 minutes having Frodo walk to mount doom throw in a ring and go home.
Character A is incapacitated. Character B revives Character A just in time to save Character B from imprisonment. Yawn. Such amateur writing no wonder every episode gets reddit gold. This weeks mega villain eats meat. So he must die.

@htpcmac "Villain eats meat, so he must die" is an interesting way to characterize it when the villain is a pedophile leading a cannibal cult.
Enver Gjokaj (Lukka) looked so familiar, but I couldn't place him. Turns out he also played Victor, one of the main Dolls in Dollhouse, which I watched so long ago that my memories of it are hazy at best. (It's probably time for a rewatch.)
I didn't notice until this episode that Andre is Theo Huxtable—both played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Would never have figured it out on my own; I just happened to glance at the guest-star credits as they zipped by this time.

The writers threw in a small joke about this in the first episode Warner was in. Jeff tells him he's wearing a nice sweater, and Andre says, "It was my dad's." It's a very Bill Cosby-esque sweater.
[4.4/10] I really didn’t care for this one. All of the Roses were so inconsiderate and rude to one another, in a way that made them feel like they were reverting to their early season form. It really didn’t work for me.
Let’s start with the main offender. I actually like the idea of an emotional conflict where David is hurt that Alexis talks about how much she can’t wait to get out of Schitt’s Creek and Alexis is hurt that David isn’t more upset about her leaving, until the two admit they’ll miss one another.
The problem is just that they’re such frickin’ assholes to one another over it. David treating Alexis’s trip like it’s just a vacation, to where he’d have his wedding without her on short notice, feels downright cruel. His unwillingness to apologize for it is borderline mental. Alexis likewise lashes out rather than just expressing her hurt, and her trying to turn the fact that she accidentally booked her flight for the wrong month into a “wedding gift” to David so he can have his dream venue is terrible.
Neither of the Rose siblings deserves forgiveness or sympathy here. They’re just shitty to one another, and it makes both of them pretty unlikable. The one saving grace is Stevie’s reaction to it all, which is pretty funny, and the hints that she too is reconsidering her future.
Likewise, the Moira/Johnny story is broad at best and harsh at worst. Once again, there’s meat to the notion of Moira having a “near-death” experience that convinces her to retire from acting, only to immediately jettison her new perspective on life when she learns that her movie’s been picked up by a streaming service. But the way she entirely neglects Johnny and leaves him to get picked up by a cop for skinny dipping because she’s so involved in her own conversation with her agent seems pretty horrible. Moira is the character who’s arguably grown the least on the show, but even this feels like a bridge too far.
Overall, this is another disappointing season premiere for the show, which used to be something of a tradition, but one Schitt’s Creek had seemingly broken itself of. Sadly, that’s not the case. This may be the worst one yet.

@guenguer Your unironic use of the term "snowflaking" instantly invalidates your opinions.

@lilaa2020 Darkness has nothing to do with 4k. Check your monitor's brightness and contrast settings, maybe?
This episode was confusing af. And not in an enjoyable way.
loading replies
@the_argentinian Art and subjectivity are so weird. This to me felt like the best and least confusing episode of the show (I'm only up to here). That's not to say I know what is going on, exactly, but I feel more comfortable with the characters' motivations within the show's framework than I have at the end of any other episode.
I only remember the first few seasons from years ago when it aired on TV so I decided to do a rewatch/catch up beng watch.. and man do I regret it.
The last 2 seasons, it's like the writers gave up on the story, Sabrina barely uses her magic & don't even get me started on Harvey.. I wish I didn't do it, because now one of my favorite childhood shows was officially ruined.

Very much agreed, I had the exact same experience. The first three seasons are great and the the fourth and fitfh are tolerable. But the final two, are just impossible. The removal of Hilda and Zelda took a lot out of the show, specially compared to the bland characters they were replaced by. I won't be able to finish season seven. Every time I put on an episode, I zone out now.
Very hard to watch as it’s in Japanese with English subtitles. Would’ve been great if it was all in English. It’s 2024, who’s got time to read. We all have busy lives and doing 5 things at once. This show prevents you from doing that.

Some mindfulness practices might be helpful for you. It's not the show's fault you're too busy. Aside from that, making it completely English would detract from the quality of the show. In fact, I wish the Portuguese was actually Portuguese but I get it's mostly an American show for American audiences.

@whos_ur_buddha you're the type of person whose world ends 5km away from home. I'm sure if you come across aliens you'd expect them to speak English to you too. Free your mind Neo, the world is full of colourful cultures and language diversity.
