You can probs skip to the last scene in this episode, about 42 mins in.
Janice was the malignant, haunting presence in Bobby and his Kid's life this episode . A true horror monster.
recap episode, can be skipped without missing any story really.
While the episode was imo the best in a while, the ending completely lost me.
No person on earth would stay partners with Jerry after this. Not a single one. Beth what are you doing?!?!?
You'd constantly be questioning 'what if there's just 1% of Rick's brain/consciousness in there... we know consciousness can be subdued...' or 'Jerry now intrinsically has some of the memories of Rick's in him. even with the brains separated, part of Jerry is now her father.'
Who could sleep with him after that? Or even be touched by him? Or even look them in the eye?
I appreciated it when Beth initially found out and was like 'nah fuck this' but when they just kept doubling down with being one being, that should have been an instant divorce.
And that's ontop of this show's wierd obsession with, well, incest in previous seasons. them just walking out and shoving the topic under the rug to live in their own little realities has worked mostly til now, that this should fundamentally have been a breaking point for Beth to leave. This should have been the episode to kick Jerry and Rick out for good.
They literally entered Telltale's The Walking Dead game.
Honestly tho that animation was hideous, they totally cheaped out there :/
Oh yeah suuuure the kid who presents as a woman all the time when outside of school, who's room is full of makeup products and feminine clothes, and sleeps in woman's vlothes, is tooootally just doing it 'cause the girl they like likes girls. Sure that's why. Totally not trans.
For a minute there I thought Walter had read too much Homunculus and was trying out trepanation to see Peter with his third eye. Kinda disappointed it was an attempted lobotomy instead. trepanation would fit fringe science much better.
Don't waste your time with this. If you want a crime procedural about AI, just watch Psycho-Pass instead. I'm serious.
Who needs Steins;Gate when you've got Lost
One of the worst episodes so far, with a very weak attempt at having thematic parallels between the present story and past story, culminating in one the cruellest thing the characters have done yet.
The writers forced these two charactors in with a crow bar, didn't know what to do with them, so brought their arcs to a head with what they probs thought was a clever 'twist' of burying them alive. But then they had to scramble to find a present story that would fit the theme of trust, and the Sun kidnapping subplot was all they could think of, resolving that in the tamest way possible.
The end of the episode I was left with such a bitter taste in my mouth. These flawed but good protagonists BURIED PEOPLE ALIVE!!! Unknowingly or not, it just doesn't sit with you well.
Even if they both killed someone, they killed him quick and as painlessly as they could, and never showed him malice to his face. Even when they double crossed each other, she just put him to sleep for 8 hours, she didn't kill him. They would have revolved things eventually if they woke up in time. In no way did they as charactors deserve one of the worst ways of dying someone could ever experience. Absolutly awful.
The only thing worse than this episode so far are the awful fake British accents everyone but Charlie and Desmond have in the rest of the series. The (presumably American) casting directors had no idea what accents in the UK sound like, and cba to cast actual British people, so only hired people people with terrible 'posh English' accents, and filmed them in places that look nothing like places in the UK :/
Literally Revolutionary Girl Utena but with Mechs
Turns out Wandavision was a magical girl shoujo all along
I felt so bad for Chi being left at home all day, I hope she gets to have her own escapades while Hideki's at work and school going forward!
Perfectly played twists. The Satsuki turning on her mother twist was telegraphed well ahead, so you saw that coming and felt like once that twist had been pulled there wouldn't be another, making the twist of Ryuko being Satsuki's sister and Ragyo's daughter impact even harder, without feeling cheap as it was set up within the reveal of the last twist.
