This one feels like traveling in time to the future... for Lucifer fans that also watch this show. Season 3 with Dr. Linda dating Louis Litt and now Amenadiel with Jessica Pearson
Gyda dead, Ragnar with new woman, Rollo planning on going against his brother. this episode really took things to a whole new level and beyond the previous ones!
"Hate ain't a crime. I can hate whomever I want. It's in the constitution!"
Well, I'm sure glad it's a crime now.
Phenomenal episode. I especially liked the cut scenes from the stakeout...reminiscence of season one's travelling. And it was about time Bill put Holden in his place.
Poor Louis ): I felt so bad for him. The look on his face was painful..
I've been feeling bad for him a lot actually ever since he turned his back on Hardman, but this one was too much..
He really is a good person, he just does stupid stuff sometimes.
That ending was so sad what the hell. I would've loved to see Mike and Louis work together
10/10 would recommend a must see #Justice4Adriana
Dude. The fucking cinematography man.
Full disclosure, I knew what happened in this episode before I went in. Sometimes you just pick things up through cultural osmosis. But it took some of the oomph out of this one for me. It was still tragic to see what Adrianna went through, to see her tentative hopefulness and dreams of getting away from all this dashed completely. But I can only imagine what the impact would be if you didn't know it was coming.
One of the things I find interesting about The Sopranos is that, contrary to a lot of movies and shows about the mob, it's never really on the mobsters' side. Sure, the show invites you to be allured by Tony Soprano and his brood, but at the same time wants to chastise you for being allured by him. The beleaguered gardener throughout the season is a persistent reminder that these are not good men, and most of what they do involves stepping on the little guy.
But at the same time, it doesn't make the FBI agents who are plotting against the mob looking any more righteous by comparison. They gossip casually about why Adriana hooking up with Tony would be good for business. They casually discuss how a woman marrying her abuser could be good for them. They treat Adriana, a woman who is clearly out of her depth with this stuff, like a tool, almost like cattle, rather than a person. Sure, the FBI are on the side of good, to the extent it exists in a show like this, but they're just as dehumanizing and dismissive of anyone who doesn't help them achieve their goals as the mobsters are.
And that's the tragedy. Chris claims to have loved Adriana. His recurring beatings of her don't seem to lend credence to that, but he does seem broken up by it at the end of the episode. And Tony too, though he is allegedly supposed to be an unrepentant monster, has at least a moment's pause there on the lot at the end of the episode, which is more than can be said for the frosty FBI agent who's been Adriana's contact over these years.
At base, Adriana was someone reaching out for a person who cared about her, a real friend. Danielle halfway promised and provided that and then betrayed Adriana's trust. Chris seems entirely dismissive about Adriana's feelings and her stress. Her newer FBI contact bristles at any of Adriana's moments of reaching out for kinship. And Tony Soprano, the only one on the show who seems to actually connect with her, is the one who orders her killed. Adriana is, to the extent anyone on this show is, an innocent. She's dumb and naive and while she knows what's up to some degree, it's easy to see her swept up it at a level over her head. When people like that suffer or get killed, through the actions of both sides of the good guy/bad guy divide, it shows that this "war" has civilian casualties like any other.
‘But it is not about me. I can’t lash out like some raging, entitled maniac. That’s a white man’s luxury’ - Stan Edgar -
One of my biggest television pet peeves is when a character can explain a situation a trillion times better than they actually do - and they don’t. When they can very easily defend their actions, successfully and succinctly - and they don’t.
That was Hughie here. Frustrating to no end. Starlight doesn’t deserve you.
Rant over.
Wauw, that scene in the plane... Of all the superhero flicks I have ever seen nothing even comes close to this. And this for an ip that has existed since 2006... And from their standpoint... It's kinda made sense? The combination of these two things and the sheer brutality of it sets this show apart (there are more things ofcourse) from everything else.
Cried when Jeff hugged Abed twice, ugh he was the first friend Jeff ever made at Greendale and I'm just so sad it's over. #andamovie
Good episode. It was interesting to see Carmella's frustrations with Tony manifest themselves. The Davey business was tragic. The Richie stuff is moving along, and we're seeing how Janice is Lyvia Jr. Tony being scared and angry and then happy and then bonding with Meadow and kind of bonding with AJ was all interesting stuff. And Tony breaking the rules with the boat and knocking over the little guy is the show in a nutshell.
I just re-watched it, I totally missed the Captain America Elevator reference the first time.
Jessica is a selfish POS for the way she’s approaching Justin’s sobriety. It’s atrocious.
P.S. If that’s Justin in the casket six months later, I’m gonna be PISSED.
Superb. But why did Gabriel end up with $64k from Asher + $78k from Frank? Stonks :joy:
I've always dubbed this series as my go-to WTF series with all its twists and turns. But this finale is a firm end to what has been the mother of all roller coasters. Much kudos to Viola Davis for a stunning and electrifying performance from start to finish.
Well. I cried really hard at that.
I am 100% satisfied with this ending. One of the best series finales I've seen and it truly did the story justice. Okay, so first of all; I love love love Bonnie. Always have, always will. Nobody will ever change my mind about this. To see her die (and I blame Frank for it) was heartbreaking. I always hoped she would have a happy ending because she has been through so much. However, I think the way they wrote it was beautiful and it made sense. To have her die like this, alongside Frank (damn you Frank!), in the arms of Annalise, it brought everything full circle. She did her part and now she rests.
I LOVE the funeral scene, seeing moments of Annalise her life with Tegan, seeing Oliver, Conner and Laurel older and CHRISTOPHER! I know some people hoped it was Wes but I like this way better. And that accent! O my god, YES and that he - of all people - is the new professor for that class, being mentored by Annalise... I cried so much happy tears.
For a moment the writers had me concerned that after all these years they would break up Oliver and Conner, thank God they didn't. This was by far the best couple on the show and I never once gave up on them. I'm also very satisfied with how things ended for Michaela, she was selfish from the start and ended up 'alone' which served her right.
So this is the end, bittersweet and I will need a moment - like days - to process this. Fantastic show, always in my heart.
This was one of the best series finale I ever watched. True, the show kind of lost itself a little bit in the last two seasons, but still was able to deliver some great moments. And this, this finale, OMG! I Loved it! It was so touching. Bonnie and Frank dying in Annalise's arms was one of the most sad moments of the series. What an actress! What a scene! The final scene, I get that some of you may find it was bad, or nonsense, but honestly, I couldn't ask for a better end to this journey. How to Get Away With Murder ended in the best possible way. It gave me chills.
When Annalise was 100% ready to destroy Michaela, I was 100% ready too.
Connor and Michaela having each other’s backs.. One of the best things this show has given us are the friendships that developed between the students.
This might just have been the best episode of the entire series. There was a lot of tension, a lot of guessing and an incredible twist that I for one did not see coming. I have a lot of new theories already which will keep me busy until the comeback in April. I want to dive into my theories a bit for whoever is reading this. I think Gabriel opened the door for Wes (or Laurel, not Asher as is implied) and that they left together somewhere (it wouldn't surprise me if the two of them are somehow working together in bringing AK down). I think Asher talked to Bonnie and left her place, once he did Bonnie called Frank and sent him after Asher to 'deal with him'. Bonnie loved Asher once but she loves AK more, she always has and she wouldn't throw her under the bus, she made that clear to Nate, so as much as it would probably pain her, she would use Frank to silence Asher. Tegan, okay we saw her in the 'flash forward' asking about the body and her client. No way in hell she would represent Frank but she would represent Ollie (who we also saw in one of those flashes confessing to as he stated it 'being the murderer' which he would believe himself to be, considering that the victim is Asher and he did hit him over the head). This all makes sense in my head but I'm sure the writers have some major twist for us in store.
The flashforwards, knowing this show, it’s probably not what it seems to be. It’s a big plan so they can all get out and finally be free. The one thing I hate is whenever something goes wrong in their lives, they turn the blame on Annalise, ugh. Connor had an Annalise moment in court, Y A SSS
This was funny as hell. I loved the monkey business. Best episode so far for me. I love the idiocy of Steve Carell's character against the scientists.
This was so funny that even the 2 line summary of the episode makes me laugh.
Summary: With his beloved satellite severely hobbled, General Naird must decide between a well-reasoned scientific solution and a chimp-led rescue operation.
A little disappointed that they are creating a whole new Sam-related story... I would rather something new.
That moment of silence was one of the strongest moments of this show! So powerful.
