This episode shows how the two have grown closer, showed Ellie dealing with a problem on her own (two including Joel), and is world building showing some of the groups of people that have come together after the “apocalypse.”
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 except character A never saved character B from imprisonment. the villain must die cause he's a pedophile who beats children did you even watch the episode

@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.
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.

@ibrakadabra This is how life actually is. Just because it's not applicable or relatable for you, doesn't mean it's not incredibly important to other people. Please consider this before dismissing a whole demographic of people and their struggles.
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.

So, all of a sudden Peralta and Gina are best buddies and grew up together in the same house? Didn't that come a bit out of the blue?

@misnomer There is a reference in an earlier episode to her being the only one able to decipher his handwriting, and I think he got her the job at the precinct. But this is pretty thin character development.
Hmmm, they're starting to drag their feet. We used to have action, this episode was a total bore

@ramadri This is a science fiction series (Co-Genres: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Thriller, Suspense), maybe you should watch an action series instead. This is not "Transformers" (Pseudo-Science-Fiction).
overly gay focused for absolutely no reason.

@cmonster Care to elaborate? What was painful? That it's ending? The acting? What?
Just a couple of episodes ago, they were still using floppy disks to transfer secure data. I'm glad to see that they have suddenly transitioned to memory sticks, but they seem to have just skipped right over CDs!
loading replies
@lefthandedguitarist To be fair, that disk was from Season 4. Hammond had just been keeping it in the drawer for four years.
A decent enough episode and would have given it 7/10 but being it has Clara FINALLY killed off/leaving the show(hopefully there won't be a gimmick to bring her back one last time with the stasis machine or something other before the season ends) I have decided to give it an 8/10. Such an awful companion imho.
loading replies
I love Clara. I don't get the hate.
[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.

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.
"Ooh, it's filming in Bosnia! They're paying you scale. But it'll be in Baltic currency."
Bosnia is a Baltic country now? Was this a joke that I missed? Or is geography as hard for Canadians as it is for Americans?
Also, "Hmm, it's being released in Bosnia, Croatia, Herzegovina." WTF?! Bosnia and Herzegovina is one country?! Like srsly? WTF?

@lynchreborn But you gave it a 7?
I quite enjoyed this one, even if the politics were a little flat. Dean Stockwell can guest star any time he wants.
Unlike another commenter, I couldn't find any "SJW bullshit" that anyone might want to complain about.
loading replies
@dgw that's because there is no "SJW bullshit". Some people are just delusional.
I always thought that this was such a cool sci-fi concept, and it struck me as being quite original. I wouldn't be at all surprised if something similar already existed (Star Trek: TNG's 'Remember Me' has some vague relation), but I have a strong memory of being pretty fascinated by this when it first aired. It's still good fun to watch now, and seeing Christopher Heyerdahl in the first of what will be many appearances in this and other sci-fi franchises is always a good thing. He brings a calming but emotional quality to his work, and I was always jealous of his hair.

@lefthandedguitarist That hair is a thing of beauty.
For fuck sake, just make a DNA test. Bloody sloppy writers!
loading replies
@pjonsson They did do that... It's not sloppiness to assume the kid wasn't who he said he was, just typical of a top-secret facility. So why would they test his DNA before they began to think he might be telling the truth? Also, DNA tests don't generally come back as quickly as they do on crime shows, or they wouldn't have done in 2003, when this episode was made. Frankly, in plot terms this is one of the least sloppily-written episodes of SG-1, and I'm not insulting the rest by saying that, either.
did I miss something, why is Glenn stepping down?

@abstractlegend he decided at the end of the previous episode - while making a video for his daughter. He realised he was wasting his life as a Manager.

What the hell does "This place is deader than a Texas salad bar" even mean? :joy: Please try to make sense, Mr. Shaft.
Almost a season ago (https://trakt.tv/comments/388513) I was pretty annoyed that Vala had stuck around. At the time, her character felt shallow—and static. Since then, I'm quite pleasantly surprised that the writers turned her around into someone capable of growing and changing, someone with a conscience and a sense of the greater good. So what if her jokes still aren't funny? :grin:
Meanwhile, I still haven't figured out exactly why the creative team puts her in twintails most of the time. Best I can think of is that it's to emphasize Vala's playful, often childish attitude—which works, but doesn't mesh quite as well as the flippancy they were probably trying to replace since O'Neill/RDA left the cast.
loading replies
@dgw Really, you didn't get the comment about the salad bar in a state known for its meat? I seriously hope that was sarcasm.
This one fails to be quite engaging enough to make me care about Shan'auc and her crusade despite a strong guest appearance from Musetta Vander. It's all very lifeless and flat. They really wanted to separate Teal'c from all memories of his wife, didn't they? But it does end well and sets up some intriguing future stories.
loading replies
@lefthandedguitarist Agreed. My most pressing question is how did a goa'uld symbiote that was cared for and raised on Chulak under Apophis's reign have genetic memories of his sworn enemy Cronus from as recently as Teal'c's father's death in order to show it to Teal'c?
Not sure why they've been inserting blue-white flashes and crackling-electricity noises in the imprint room. First noticed it in the previous episode but thought it was something specific to the Attic procedure. Now it shows up during a regular imprint. Have I just spaced off how imprints worked in earlier episodes, or is this a silent plot development that will be addressed later?
loading replies
@dgw Its been 3 years but if you still haven't found your answer, they said that imprint procedure is very painful and the process is done using light in one of the earlier episodes.
Our prayers have been listened to. Behold, brothers, this Show might have a future after all. Fuck you very much Clara, thank you for nothing.
