This show had big shoes to fill replacing breaking bad in it's time slot. So far, it's doing well. Very, very character driven, yet in a way that isn't so slow that it bores me.

@redouaaane @youngasiangod As of right now, he has 103 "10" ratings out of 236 total. Seems legit…
(Yes, that is sarcasm. Also, 40 "9"s and 40 "8"s. Hmm. No bell curve here!)
. . . and that "jar of pickles" was an incredibly bad special effects.

Well, they can't all be amazing… :/
@donxy Netflix has since dropped the streaming availability. It's DVD-only now. :/
Genuinely funny moments balanced by spot-on drama and, unfortunately, jokes that fall flat. Maybe I'm just not British enough to enjoy the potty humor?

Returning to this with episode 2, I wonder at my past self: How could you not mention Colin Salmon?!
I have to say, this season has been more like Trump's Week Tonight than Last Week Tonight. If you're running Trump-related segments every week, it gets a little old. There's enough politics in the mainstream news, isn't there? I know the show's writers could find other things for John to talk about. How do I know? They consistently did so before Trump announced his presidential campaign. The other stuff that happens every week hasn't stopped happening—they've just stopped putting it in the scripts.

@andyesco "fail to realize that hes [sic] the president"? I live in the U.S., I am well aware. In fact, I'm tired of him "constantly doing controversial scandalous shit" too, and I avoid pretty much all television news outlets because of the constant barrage of coverage. LWT can choose to cover a wider variety of topics; they just don't. It seems you're not the only one who thinks LWT is a political news outlet (it wasn't meant to be).
Say it with me: SMALL BUSINESS IS THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA.
You know, John, you say you're not so immature as to replace the sound effects on Jim Cramer's button panel with fart noises, but then you spent the rest of the episode calling back to that. I call bullshit.

@eric2203 Actually, I think you missed my sarcasm completely.
Quit after the 2nd season. What was barely tolerable in season 1 got really on my nerve (models instead of actresses, silly costumes to hide the identities of the superheroes, mediocre storylines) as well as the partly boring flashbacks were to much for me to enjoy the show. Going to give Mr. Robot a try now.

I hope you liked Mr. Robot. I found this show considerably more watchable.
Arrow maybe a superhero but he is not that smart. At least not in this episode... And Yes, Roy was right.

Laurel's not too bright either, opening that door without even looking through the peephole first.

Yeah, The Expanse has nuance. Killjoys doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
Main theme: LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS
Love the interaction between oliver and Feliity.. Not much went down in this episode. The end kinda saved it for me because the plot around Sebastian thickens.

Including explosions of things that shouldn't explode. What was up with those falling lights? Pure Hollywood.

Quote of the season right there.
The finale to season 1 may be low key, but it's a very strong episode. The religious aspects that the show will come to be known for are fully introduced here, and they're handled maturely. I've always found the Bajoran faith to be fascinating and one of my favourite parts of this show, even though I consider myself agnostic and have a low opinion of organised religion. DS9 manages to successfully intertwine the beliefs of science and faith, and figure out how its characters can learn to keep those two points of view while still respecting each other. It's not an easy journey, as this episode demonstrates.
It's worth noting that this is the first time since the pilot that Sisko's role as the Emissary has been referred to in any significant way. The episode introduces a couple of major recurring characters in Vedek Bareil and Vedek Winn - the latter being played wonderfully by Louise Fletcher and managing to inspire an incredible amount of hate in the viewer! If you despise her, as most do, that only means that she did her job extremely well. And it's going to get much, much more intense from here on!
I like the O'Brien subplot, it's just a shame that Neela hadn't had more of a presence throughout the season up to this point. That would have made her reveal much more powerful. It's also great to see Odo being the excellent investigator that he is. Dax is still relegated to not much more than a background science person at this point, I hadn't realised just how little the first season had used her.
An overall great episode and powerful end to the first season, really showing that Sisko and Kira have worked through things to find common ground and respect for each other. The only real weak point for me was the slow motion "noooooooo!" at the end which was a bit cheesy. It is redeemed somewhat by - for once - a gorgeous accompanying musical score.

@lefthandedguitarist That whole slow-motion sequence was so un-Trek, ugh.
Is my sweet sweet daughter Helena back with the Ukrainian nuns?? And that end scene was so cute! One of my favourite songs.
Also, Alison meeting Cos for the first time, high on mushrooms. Amazing. I'm glad they've begun to tidy up those "lose ends" before the end of the show, because that's basically what I love most about the show; clone interaction, whatever it may be. If it were up to me they could just live their lives in a big mansion together, happily ever after.
Back to the episode. Did Kira really cut that cute mouse? I'm worried about her.
There's so many other things I'd like to mention, but for lack of time I will keep this short.
A very good episode, funny, not at all boring, with some twists and revelations.loading replies
@lomb4x I'm sure you've found out by now, but even before watching the next episode I knew it wasn't the mouse we needed to worry about…
Man the only reason I watch this in hopes of having comic storyline and good superhero action from time to time but couldn't help but cringe at the vagina-ego-telecom-dominance in this episode -.- less of that. plz

I got about 25 minutes in and, though I was enjoying myself, had to stop. As yet I have not found any source for this documentary that includes subtitles for the non-English portions of the audio. There are several interviews and archival clips with dialogue in foreign languages, and I feel it would be unfair to myself and to the film to watch it without understanding these parts.
So, for now, I'll keep this on my watchlist knowing that as soon as I find complete subtitles, I will finish it.

@adamk Interesting… To be fair, I started where I left off (~26m into the film), rather than going back and starting over. Maybe they just didn't bother with any of the foreign dialogue toward the end? There was a long stretch in the middle with no non-English speech, and the bits at the end were Iranian television captures, not interviews.

@adamk I got the subtitles you sent, and watched the rest of the film with them. I didn't notice any subtitles for the foreign-language parts, though.

@d2dyno Gracie's not dead… Her name was Lindsey. But yes, she needed to go. I'm perfectly happy about it.
A bit of a letdown this season finale, but two things were awesome IMO: Quinn's letter being interrupted by Saul wanting a minute with Allison, and the scene where Saul gets his really bad-ass revenge. The thwarting of the terrorists' plot went down way to fast though, not really consistent with the amount of time they spent building it up.

@jelmerf "a minute with Allison"? Saul wanted to talk to Carrie.
Homeland put cameras everywhere in that house, didn't they… even in the shower. WTF? I guess the Hosts don't have child pornography laws.

@asnaghy Same, tbh… Magic, maybe?
I thought it out of Saul's character to let himself be talked out by Carrie on the runway. He should've stuck to his principles and gone out with a bang. Disappointed with that scene. Otherwise, such a great episode.
