That was one hell of an episode (no pun intended). Best episode of the season so far. I loved everything. I was in total shock and awe. Everything was just perfect. Lucifer's guilt, Amenadiel's blame, Maze and Trixie, detective douche getting punched in the face. Tom Ellis can truly act. He was terrific this episode. He always is, but today, he hit the spot. Comedy, tragedy, drama, everything is spot on. In this week's episode I just wanted to give him a hug. Yes. Hug the Devil . Just give the Devil a big big hug.
I also loved the music in this episode. That was amazing. Kaleo's Way Down We Go while they were looking at Uriel's grave was incredible. The pace, the rhythm, everything. And when you think this can't get any better Lucifer plays Unforgiven in the piano. That sing is my blindspot. I simply love it. I rewatched that part more times that I can even count. I just loved that scene.
The only thing I found a little weird was the ending. Sure they could've made him look more terrifying. He looked pitiful in a way. Maze looked truly more terrifying than him. Sure they couldve pulled a better one together. At the beginning of season 1 he really looked different.
Anyways, a great applause to writers, directors and actors. This episode was shockingly beautiful.
I love kickass ladies more than anything, so I liked this episode. I do think the "#feminism" thing was kind of cringeworthy though. Like, girls teaming up and kicking ass was literally the focus of this episode, you don't have to tell us that it's feminist. We know. I'm a feminist myself and I'm 100% here for female empowerment, but the way they tried to bring attention to it every 5 seconds was grating. If you keep making a big deal out of powerful and capable women, it will never be seen as something normal and common (which, you know, it is). Instead, it will feel gimmick-y. Fortunately, this was probably a one-time thing and Caitlin and Iris will go back to being casual badasses in the next episode.
My favorite part was that Caitlin and Iris had so many scenes together. Seriously, I've been waiting for so long for their friendship to develop into something more than just work colleagues. This is the brOTP that we deserve.
Drunk Barry was so hilarious. My sweet boy, crying over Jack and Rose. But he's a scientist, he should know that just because the door was big enough for the two of them, it doesn't mean that it could hold both of them. There's this thing called buoyancy, you know. They totally could've taken turns though.
Also, did Felicity really say "The Incredible Hulk"? Are they allowed to name-drop Marvel heroes?
Yup. Just made a grown ass man cry. Thank you!
That scene in the quinjet was the best of the entire season. I kinda predicted Lincoln would be the one but still, that was a sob fest :'(
Hive's new look was badass. Those final moments with Lincoln and Hive was great too.
I fucking hate when they show such time jumps. I mean why!? I NEED ANSWERS. I am really excited to see the chemistry with holden radcliffe and Fitz/Simmons.
Great wrap. 10/10. See you all next season folks :)
Omg the feelings that this episode brought to me, astonishing!! Brought some tears to my eyes, it's been a long time since a series touched me soo deep!! Amazing work Bobbi and Mack!!
Great season. Need more Katarina with a shotgun smoking a cig, lol
I don't know what these others are on about, this is in no way a finale. It's an alternate timeline single episode, where you get fun, or at most some perspective, for us, the viewers, and in some cases at most a single character.
Unlike 3x25, this episode is fleshed out and well edited, it is fun and interesting. Don't get me wrong, the overal story as well as the focus on Ella in 3x25 was good, just somewhat poorly executed, I assume due to apparent reasons.
In any case, here to a slim chance of a proper s4.
I liked it better when the four DC shows aired on four different nights, but whatever. I guess the people at the CW wanted to boost the ratings by airing Legends after The Flash.
I can't believe that they made an episode about the Legends trying to convince George Lucas to become a movie director. That is so wild. I love it. And there were so many awesome references to Star Wars, like "You're our only hope" and the trash compactor.
Rip forgot who he is and to be honest, I hope he won't remember anytime soon. I like the team as it is.
Every now and again I randomly remember that Arthur Darvill played Rory Williams on Doctor Who. Apparently, he was destined to play characters travelling through time and space on a ship.
It was such a small moment, but I love the trope of a super intense scene with people running or fighting cutting to a shot of someone riding in an elevator with soft music in the background. It always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it.
"- I have an idea.
- So this would be a new milestone for you then."
Professor Stein went in and took no prisoners, huh? How did Mick manage to recover from such a savage burn?
"- Detective.
- Counselor.
- Douche.
- Dick."
I love this show.
And that ending... it broke my heart. Please don't hurt my beautiful Chloe.
Sam: "Can we just get the damn news without the drama?"
Crowley: "Can I get out without the flannel?" Chuck damn Crowley, always with the real stuff.
Rowena: "I'm a witch, he's an angel..."
Crowley: "and I'm the king of Hell"
Kelly: "Oh God"
Cas: "No , actually he left".
Sam: "Not helping guys"
Love those silly and predictable exchanges.
And Rowena, full covered in that guy's juice: "This is the sweetest thing you've ever done for me". Rowena's best quote.
Even though the tone of the episode was serious,there was some room for humour.
Aww I actually really liked this episode. It was hella stupid, but that's the legends for ya :') so many great moments at the end, Zari as a kid saving them, Nate's sacrafice, Nate and his Dad, Nate and Zari, Ray and Nora, and that little moment when Gary tried to hug Mona but she wasn't having it lol. Maybe this show ain't so bad after all, it's crazy - but doesn't try to be anything else. Thank you Legends!
This just doesn't work...at all...not even a little...didn't laugh once.
That coded chat! LOL
Overall, a good mix between how depressive things have been and the crazy that's about to be unleashed.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no! no no no no, no no no no no
I've been waiting for this show with a lot of excitement. The Netflix shows are probably my favorite part of the MCU. DD and JJ were simply excellent, with compelling stories, great cast and a dark tone, although each of the two had its own unique atmosphere. DD played out like a crime procedural/legal drama with phenomenal fight scenes, while JJ was a gritty psychological thriller with incredible depth mixed with some neo-noir detective stuff. And I loved them both. Luke Cage was more of a mixed bag for me, but the first half of it was great and it had some of the best music I've heard on any show in a long while, so I still liked it. And Iron Fist... I mean, I didn't hate it? It was just kind of meh. But still, seeing these four characters together was something I've been looking forward to for months.
This episode is your typical introducing-our-heroes-and-setting-up-the-overarching-plot pilot. Except we already know the heroes, so instead, we catch up on what they've been doing. Matt's given up on the vigilante business and his relationship with Karen is visibly strained, he's also having trouble moving on from Elektra. Jessica drinks hard as ever and doesn't want to be anyone's hero, thank you very much (although she can't help but follow the mystery that quite literally knocks on her door), Luke has a delightful reunion with Claire (I love them!) and is determined to continue his mission of fighting crime in Harlem, and Danny... spends most of the episode on a plane. Doing nothing. Oh well. There's a reason Iron Fist was the weakest show of the four.
We're also introduced to our main villain. Sigourney Weaver is one of those people who just radiate elegance and steal any scene with their presence. That's the kind of person I strive to be. She's so... regal, I guess. They couldn't have chosen a better actress.
We see Foggy (who is rocking the hell out of his new haircut) for a second as well and Elektra, The Actual Love Of My Life, makes a short appearance at the end. I forgot how beautiful she is. Elodie can kick my ass anytime.
I love how they used colors in this episode. Matt's apartment was bathed in red, Jessica's scenes were sort of pale blue with hints of purple, Luke was surrounded by different shades of yellow, and Alexandra's signature hue seems to be white, from the sterile hospital rooms to her coat to the pidgeons in the park. I also love the way the show fluidly moves from one character to the next with some really neat editing. The older I get, the more I find myself paying attention to those more technical aspects of shows and movies - cinematography, editing, sound design. The opening episode of The Defenders is incredibly aesthetically pleasing and it seems a lot of thought went into the visuals, which I appreciate.
This episode felt very much like a series finale, rather than just a season finale. I do feel like the show has now run it's course and if this was the end, it was a good way to go out
JOHN CONSTANTINE!!. HOLY FUCKING WHAT? I WAS JUMPING. I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW
This episode was incredibly emotional. I still have goosebumps on my arms after the last scene. Oliver's speech was actually really moving. Rene's backstory surprised me a little, mostly because he looks like he's 23, so it seemed kind of ridiculous that he had a wife and a tween daughter. As it turns out, the actor who plays him is 37 years old, which is... surprising, to say the least. I really enjoyed John and Dinah's interactions as well.
I think it's good that they're addressing political issues on the show. The media has always influenced people's opinions, the way we see the world. TV isn't just supposed to entertain you, it's supposed to educate you, to make you think, to start a discussion. And gun control is something that we should be talking about. I'm not American, but I've heard or read a thousand stories about idiots shooting people in public. It's a real issue and real people get hurt. Real people die. And that is something that can't be ignored.
Oh my Grodd! Epic. Awesome. Fucking perfect. This is my show. Barry fucking Allen just phased an entire train, yes ladies and gentlemen, a fucking entire train through rocks! Just like in the comics with the airplane. Omg, I swear this show touches my heart, man. And then Wally took the bad guy phasing through him. Holy shit. I missed so much the good old "Run, Barry, Run" and now, listening to Barry saying "Run, Wally, Run", wow. This confirms Barry is Wally's Reverse Flash. Lol.
When Barry phased the wood wall I couldn't help but thinking "forgive me wood wall, but to me, you've been phased for centuries".
Aside from that crazy train scene, it was a solid episode. Iris telling the truth to Joe was heartbreaking. In a few months, Lance and Joe might be able to start the annual dead daughter club. And don't forget to call Diggle. Baby Sara always in our hearts. After Cisco's chat about quantum mechanics, mixing time travel with dimensional travel, you never affect yourself so that Barry (original Barry) still exists at some point. So that Iris will not die in another dimensional universe. Mind-blowing .
Oh my God and next week we've got Harrison Wells from Earth 2. Can you hear it? I'm hyperventilating. Dawn of the Planet of Grodd! Yeas, baby. A two episode event. Holy fucking shit. I'm so hyped right now. This will be very interesting, especially if Harry meets H.R. and we have two Wells at once. So now I think, if Harry comes back to Earth 1, could that Wells on the roof be the Harry? cause that's what I thought when I saw him, but this is the Flash , you never know for sure.
"I actually went to that class" "You better be going to all your classes" that delivery was just perfect. And at end, Barry acknowledging STAR Labs terrible security. H.R., the master of one liners "Holy Kardashians". I have so many questions about Earth 19.
"Do you wanna get a drink?" RIP Julian. you'll be missed. Her curse. I wonder who would die first if she met Sam Winchester.
Great first episode. The only thing that bothers me is that horrible color and font they use for sunny's lines . It looks so bad.
I'm surprised this show returned so quickly after the holidays. In seasons 2 and 3 we had to wait until March.
The new logo is fucking sick. Easily the best one they've ever done.
I'm so mad about May. It's driving me insane that they're obviously going to make something happen between Coulson and the decoy. He'll be devastated when he finds out the truth. I can smell the angst from here.
If there was one thing I never expected to see on this show, it was Jemma Simmons doing a Southern accent. And totally kicking a guy's ass. What happened to that adorable and awkward scientist in an ugly sweater who couldn't lie her way out of a paper bag? Oh, right. As Daisy pointed out in this episode, she's been kidnapped like three times. And only twice on this planet. Jeffrey's "holy shit" face pretty much summed up all my thoughts on the subject.
I'm being nitpicky here, but why would you give your son a traditional Indian name like Vijay and then call your daughter something as quintessentially English as Ellen? It's like naming your kids John and Persephone or Mary and Rocket. Come on. Was it too hard for the writers to come up with an Indian name for the Senator?
The MVP award in this episode goes to Mack, who made me laugh repeatedly with his robot movie references. And that fist bump with YoYo after he cut Aida's head off? That is Marvel Cinematic Universe at its finest, guys.
Radcliffe is evil. I admit, I did not see that one coming.
Decent finale. Probably better than last year but with the same cliffhanger for Chanel. But we all know she'll be alive and well if there's a season 3.
Taylor Lautner and Chanel 3 were fun together though. Pretty sure they were spoofing on Twilight with the he felt dead until he met her lines. Chanel 3 totally steals the show with her dead pan humor.
I tuned in to watch episode 1 of season 3 early on Showtime and instantly I was reminded of why I LOVE this show so much! This episode was full of surprises and I have to say seeing the fabulous actor, Wes Studi as a new character and also bringing Dracula and Jekyll in for this season was awesome! I'm glad we have Patty Lapone again. With this first episode I have a feeling this is going to be a fantastic season. In my opinion!
"I'm agent Beyonce and this is my partner, agent Z". Dammit Cas. He's just so not good at choosing names. And he mocking Crowley with that baby voice. Our Cas is learning guys. I love them being together. It feels like they are in a buddy cop. this is my favourite one. This story arc is gonna play perfectly this year. And btw, Cas looks really weird without the trench coat, but so hot, though. And did Crowley call him Cassie? So very much Crowley. Gotta love the guy.
And since when is Satan so stupid? It was obvious Rowena was going to trick you. Come on. You are supposed to be smarter than that. Wonder whether he will continue aging rock stars. Btw, Rowena's "You thought Keith Richards was bad, try Iggy pop" was hilarious.
I love that Mary and Dean have that much in common. I get Sam got Mary's hair and Dean Mary's appetite and taste of music. Makes you think about genetics. Dean spent more time with John and he's much more alike to Mary, and Sam was always John's favorite.
That bike has to be a foreshadowing. I guess it's Mr Ketch's who is already following them. We'll see that in next episodes.
Loved this MOTW episode. that ending with the kids was very touching. Loved that they didn't vanished but turn into light and ascend to Heaven. So sweet. Now, the ghosts find peace.
And that heartbreaking ending. I can't believe Mary just left. "I need more time", come on Mary, your boys haven't seen you since they were babies and you just leave? Poor Dean!!! He didn't open to her because he was afraid it wouldn't last and then she confirmed it. This is the worst thing you could do to Dean aka the king of abandonment issues. Now he's not gonna open to anyone. That was so painful. I don't blame him for not hugging her. She should've never done this to the boys.
I get the feeling she's gonna be tricked by Lucifer somehow like he telling her he can bring John back or sth.
Let's see how this works out now that the boys are heartbroken. Emotional episode this one.
Great opening! Reminiscent of so many other giants in the sci-fi realm! Cannot wait to push play for the rest of the series
This episode just confirms to me that AoS is the best of the current superhero/comic shows.
Lucifer: "Oh my Dad" was just a perfect delivery.
Rowena: "He's not like us. He believes in things" gets my vote.
Crowley: "Just because Dim and Dimmer here can't keep their family in the same dimension, doesn't mean they can mess with mine!" Crowley sure has the best lines.
Mary: "Don't give me the face"
Dean: "What face?"
Mary: "You know the face"
Dean: "There's no face"
Mary: "That's the face".
I couldn't help but imagining little Dean giving her that same face when she didn't bring him pie. Oh old good toddler Dean.
Looking forward to seeing how Sam would react when he sees Lucifer in that vessel. And I'm finally glad the writers noticed that we need Mark Pellegrino to play Lucifer. He's just amazing. He was born to play that part.
WHAT. WHAT. HAHA NO FUCKING WAY. LAUREL FUCKING LANCE!?
That ending. Last thing I expected :O And we go on a fucking break. OH COME ON! Absolutely loved this episode. Best Arrow episode we've had in a long time (Barring the crossover)
