"The fight that led to her marriage proposal fundamentally changed — or maybe just broke — something in Kim. Now, she just wants Jimmy, and will keep making concessions to allow the relationship to continue." -Rolling Stones review
You can say that again! Damn Kim is turning out to be loyal. I was in awe of her during the last part. She's amazing!
It's weird to see Jimmy thinking so slowly and being so impaired. I'm used to watching him perform the impossible, and doing it with cheerful enthusiasm. This was the origin of bleak black and white Cinnabon Saul. Enjoyed his scene with Mike, his bitter "I can't believe you're the one I have to talk to about this." His inflection said so much; his castigation of bitter grumpy Mike. He doesn't want to be a survivor like Mike- he wants to be the special saviour to his clients, thriving; the caped stuntman, the flying acrobat.
This felt like a Breaking Bad episode. Which is thrilling but in a lot of ways I've grown to love this show even more than Breaking Bad.
It would have been interesting to see Walt deal with Lalo as Lalo has all the elements that made up a good enemy against Walter.
If Chuck had still been around- well it might have been a saving grace. His absence becomes even more vital.
The last 10 to 15 minutes is the most gut wrenching, heart stopping, spine chilling minutes of TV I have EVER seen in my life.
Absolutely fucking incredible, I can't put this show into words. Fucking incredible. And the rest of the episode is no fucking joke either. The season finale is going to be absolutely horrific in the best way possible.
This episode left me speechless, one of the best episodes to date in my opinion, Lenny's story line was fascinating in many ways, so was Syd hugging herself. This show keeps surprising me, as Agents of Shield do these days, but in extremely different way. Looking forward to the next episode, Cary is gonna be in a world of hurt I assume, David's patience is running low these days, and pissing of god always has it's caveats. Also, really wanting to see different Lenny after the events of this episode, that should be very interesting, hoping David will still have her in his corner, but that might not be the case.
It tries to tackle things like porn addiction, queerness, dysfunctional marriages and polyamorous relationships, but ultimately it just wraps things up too quickly and neatly. It even lacked the signature Black Mirror tragic twist. I feared that Danny's son would log on at some point and get virtually raped by Karl.
I wasn't sure if I would love or hate this episode.
Now I know.
Daisy and Jemma on drugs was totally unexpected and totally awesome, so much fun :D
Should we pretend this season never happened?
I felt such a complicated array of feelings while watching this. I was wracked with guilt about my relationship with my parents. I was ashamed of times I didn’t stand up for myself growing up. I was embarrassed with her and for her and for myself. This movie is a true achievement in capturing the mood of being that age, I related to it completely to my core. I was instantly transported back 20 years and it felt so much like my experience regardless of the cultural touchstones and how new the Internet was when I was in 8th grade. It should be required viewing for every parent of a tween.
That last episode was a masterpiece. Superb ending to a good season.
Finally she's out. That whole assumed awesomeness of Gina thing was in fact just very annoying.
Whole season, I was expecting that Frank's going to see Beth again but he didn't. I'm kinda disappointed about that.
Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
Sandra Bullock has to be the luckiest person on Earth. If you accept this fact then you can enjoy this movie.
I loved everything about this series, start to finish it was excellent!
Where's my breath?!
Things really explode in episode 4. The previous two episodes did feel a lot like a build up to something, and that 'something' is one hell of a detonation.
I'm really liking the storyline of Dex so far, especially when you get extraordinary scenes like the one involving CCTV. The way those deep, cold eyes stared into the camera was unbelievable and sent shivers down my spine. I just can't get over how amazing Vincent D'Onofrio is as Fisk.
I just have to mention the fight scene though. This is, without a doubt, my favourite long take fight scene of the show. It's just pure adrenaline that doesn't seem to end. It's even more realistic than the hallway scene in season 1. The effort and preparation they put into this must be off the Richter scale. Well, it looks like the show's going to pick up another Emmy nod for stuntwork... ...and just when you think your jaw couldn't fall any lower, the episode ends like THAT and proves you wrong, sending your jaw to another world. I guess it's lucky these don't release weekly, because I wouldn't be able to handle the week after this ending.
Seriously impressive stuff; I'm addicted.
Lots to unpack here. First of all I got pretty emotional when Sam was reading Elsa's list at the aquarium. That coupled with so many moments this episode just highlight how filled with love this show is. And that's a beautiful thing.
Second, Casey and Izzie. This really isn't as cut and dry as people might realise. Something is happening which she doesn't want to be true. To the point of having to drive out of town and sit in a car to feel comfortable enough even broach the subject. Also to try and bury her feelings by progressing her relationship with Evan to a point she might not otherwise.
He's an amazing guy, that much is true. But some things can't be ignored. And unless she makes a decision before it goes too far with Izzie... She'll be faced with being more like her mother than she wants to be.
That handhold progression was fantastic and all too real. This show is great in so many ways. Really can't wait for season 3.
Wow, what an episode, what an ending. The character development of everyone, oh I just love this. I need more!
Possibly the best IF episode so far - awesome fight at the tattoo place and a very intense ending! Walker is such an interesting character, loved that scene with the rain. And Davos has two glowing fists!!!
This is getting pretty good.
Davos : "I don't have time for this."
Dude, you've been talking with her about this the whole night. It's daylight outside and you say that you need anwsers 'now' ? :D
Am I supposed to take Davos serious??? Because I don't. I think he is a terrible character and a bad choice of casting.
The ending was so satisfying.
He was made of too much air.
Great season finale. Loved every minute of it.
They've been hinting at it all season, but making David literally the villain, with heavy themes like sexual abuse involved is a tough and ridiculously bold move, and I'm not sure whether audiences will go with it. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with it in the next season.
Season 2 hasn't for me been on the same level as the spectacular S1, but Legion is still one of the most inventive, interesting and engaging shows currently on TV.
"My pain was selfish, because it was never only mine. For everybody in this place, there was someone who mourned their loss. Even if they didn't know why." - Akecheta
Iain De Caestecker is amazing actor. All I had to say
Damn. Just got punched in the gut.
Magnificent and heartbreaking, it was an awesome hour of television, and a fitting way for David to mourn the loss of his sister Amy.
With such a sprawling cast, I'm disappointed that Noah Hawley didn't slide a few familiar faces from the Fargo universe into the background players.
I cried a bit. That was weird. Amazing episode, acting, directing, music. Everything was top notch.
Aubrey Plaza's acting has been something special since the first episodes of season 1.
YESSS, covert op, espionage, exfil, it's a live tribute to the first seasons. Loved it!
