Man these guys really never think anything through huh.. I'd say it's dumb to kill all ppl at the beach at all - not to mention it's mass murder and even in these circumstances horrible - but if you wan to do it, it's plain stupid to chase them all around this huge complex, you'll never get it done by 2 hours, let alone burn them all in the pyre, which is btw not even big emough for all of them.. Come up with some other plan dudes. And this one guy with the cap who beat the girl to get to know where Arisu is, WTF you don't pick up the gun from the guy you jus knocked out..??
Some editing was weird, but in the last episodes some of the score themes were nice. The fight scenes on the other hand not so. Weird cause I liked the close combat against the hunter in the second episode.
An doing detective work in all of this chaos is kinda funny, tho I don't know if there can be a conclusion, cause even if she finds useable finger prints, doesn't she have to collect and match them from alot of ppl by logic, is that all possible in that little time..?
Well, as this is a game of heart, wouldn't rule out the best friend being the witch. Or maybe she was (forced) into suicide..?
Overall this episode is a letdown for me.
Last thing, I always wondered why they all don't look up for the ppl who setup the games. Like someone has to bring all these phones and gears and stuff to the locations and do some work there..? They must also do alot of traveling and scouting around..
This was the worst episode so far, nothing made sense. I liked the twist even tho it was clear from the beginning.
Why did jus try to run deeper into the tunnel, it's not clear in which direction the goal is by their logic, so it could also the other way around couldn't it..? Anyways, Arisu took like one hour to get to the bike. So he decides, he who was laying on the streets for almost two days without food and not the somewhat fit friend of the guy in the bus, to run back tossing a heavy motorcycle with a bit of diesel despite having only one hour left. He don't even know yet how to get the diesel out of the tank, so far he doesn't have any pipe or tools, means even if he might find them it takes some time away. And there can't be much in the tank from the sound of it, how far can they even get with the bus..? He also doesn't know if the diesel will even work, he doesn't know if the bus has any other technical problems or if it's really jus not working cause of the diesel. Not to forget theres still the panther somewhere and all of these vehicles in the way. I'm even letting slip that the guy who drove the bus, that his leg is hurt, but even if we ignore all of these, there are still tons of vehicles in the way, how is he even gonna drive thru..?
Pretty sure they could've drowned, gassed, poisoned translucent or whatever, would've been much easier.. Also, if his skin is indestructible why are his pieces all over? The explosion should only effect the insides right?
Ok the ending was quite surprising, didn't expected that. I'm actually abit confused about it. Like, could this mean it really is vr and they are still alive..? Anyways if they really killed them off, on the one hand it's abit shocking off course, on the other I didn't had enough time with them to feel that much for them.
I dont like how Karube instantly was ready to kill Arisu after he was the wolf, like bro you were bffs jus a moment ago. The scenes from the past, which were made to transport the deep friendship between the three, felt artificial to me. I think they gave away the chance to make us really feel their friendship by bad scripting, part of the reason why I didn't felt much for them. And what about Shibuki, besides the sex with her boss, does she not deserve some things from her past which would make us get to know her better..?
Overall I feel like the show could have better staging, acting and score.
Ok this episode has a much better game. We see more players. Some of them willl probably end up as friends or foes in the future. I liked the fight against the first hunter. But overall so far its not much better than lets say the average anime shows 'High Rise Invasion' or 'Btooom'.
Whats funny to me is how often in these kind of shows the main protagonist, who did nothing than being home and playing video games for years, suddenly has the fitness of a triathlon athlete after thrown in such a situation.
The whole sex scene between Chouta and Shibuki was more than abit awkward..
Also I really don't like how often asian shows rely on flashbacks and characters talking to themselfs to explain their motives and actions. I'm a big fan of asian cinema and tv, specially korean and japanese. But while the movies take us viewers seriously the shows often do not and be like we are all plain stupid.
So this is all about a death game. I didn't know anything about this show, jus seen a few pics. I expected some post-apocalyptic scenario, probably cause of the word "borderland". Ppl who regularly follow manga/anime know probably at least a few of this kind of premises, and funny enough for me, I'd count myself to one of those but just found out after starting the show that Alice In Borderland is actually based on a manga. Theres also a mini anime series of 3 ovas.
So for a pilot this was ok, nothing to spectacular. I jus think that how Arisu came out for the solution of the first game was abit to easy and not so realistic. Overall It sets the world and some of the rules. But off course theres still alot of questions. Most obvious one whos behind all this..? And are the ppl all gone, or are the players transported to some alternative world/universe, or are they maybe even in a vr simulation..? If not vr, the laser beams from the sky, do they hint theres some alien shit going on..? Can't be all satellites can they..? Also, what if ppl never participate in a game in the first place, could they jus live on..? Cause if I remember correctly they said "when you start a game you can never stop and have to keep going for the visa.." And one thing which I think is weird, if really the population is suddenly gone wouldn't there be way more accidents..? Like planes crashing down, explosions and fires everywhere cause of gas and other reasons..?
why does caspar look like kristen stewart? :thinking:
The troopers bringing the walkers to the city so they can put it in lockdown is the stupidest own goal I've ever seen in a show or movie :type_4:♂ for the rest of the episode, or actually season, I don't even know where to begin. Every few minutes logic flaws everywhere jus like the smart walkers suddenly.. The writing overall really went from shit to super-shit..
Now whole ass armies move with lightspeed while Uhtred's horses need food..........
Aethelhelm's men teleport through 3 countries up and down in lightspeed while Uhtred and his men take weeks.. Also, the black priest how come he always has access to information he couldn't have and then get forced scenes to deliver that infornation to Athelhelm's dude, jus to get the plot on going.. And how come Edward not once wants to talk to Uhtred first when the body was found in his village?? Writing at this point is really bad.
So for years and years uhtred can accomplish the most impossible tasks but he cant take bebbanburg?
Off course our fav couple in the middle of staying undetected and surviving needs to have a.. dance.
Apparently a few spoons of food and a lil bit of water and lots of alcohol is all ppl need in this show to stay healthy and all fit for days.
My guy goin around the town asking for a american kid and showing everyone his wanted poster with the 50k reward on it, not thinking about that they might look themselfes for him, surely a criminal would exactly ask around like this.
So like the super smart businessman who made a multi-millionare out of nothing is so stupid to put gold in worth of 400mil in a super obvious big ass safe in the middle of the lobby AND with no cctv on it and no guards in the house. Also why didn't the alarm went off when John went to the house the first time? Might have a special feature going only off every second time someone tries to break in........
Sarah said to the SBI/Police that her brother killed the sheriff and her father is lieing about everythin, so Ward told them shes bipolar and needs medication.. Shouldn't someone follow this? Ask for some fuckin documentation, ask doctors and shit? Because obv its decisive if shes is a credible witness or not.. I mean they were already questioning him, so they might suspect something..
I'm not even goin into how stupid John was in this episode.
This is one of the worst written and staged tv show episodes I've ever watched. I won't even go into details but almost every scene is beyond ridiculous or utterly stuipid. It's complete absurd that this episode has a rating of 77%!
You could really feel for the deep if he wasn't a serial sexual assaulter..
Since the third episode I'm saying the frontman is the cops brother. Shows to predictable. Also, the hosts be like we're showing you our gratitude for making it so far by giving you some cow meat but not treating your big ass wound with a big ass piece of glass sticking out of your belly which also somehow magically Gi-hun never notices, despite she bleeding tons of blood everywhere. Then in the first place why did they even made the glass fuckin explode? Make it make sense.. Whatever idc anymore..
Ok I was actually suspecting that Hale took over world control somehow and they tryin to fool us with all the different timelines for the 210th time, but I really liked how she turned all humans basically into hosts and has the ultimate revenge, didn't expected that. This is actually the first thing I like about the show since a very long time. Tho I think the idea with the flys and the parasite is quite rubbish, surely there was another way like something like a nanobots-virus or some, then again it wouldn't have been that creepy like the flys oh well. She basically fulfilled Seracs wettest wet dream. She also complains alot about how bad the humans treated her and her kind but then she has her own parks now and does the same to the hosts there, make it make sense.. The Caleb and Maeve timeline always felt fishy to me but that she turned him into a host tf.. Why does she even do that, like is she that bored? Does she get off to it? Is there some other plan behind it? Whatever.. And does all this means that Dolores/Chrissy is in a simulation and writing plots for the host-humans..? Or is she in the real world in the present and writing plots for the host-humans ..? Or is she in the past and.. Or is she a super-super AI now since she kinda fused with Rehaboam, did they find a way to save and control her so she can control everyone else..? Or ugh I don't know I don't care.. The golden age park gave "The Thirteenth Floor" vibes, that was a great movie, can't say the same about this show since season 3.
Pretty sure the girl that picked up Bernard and Stubbs is Frankie but I don't care anymore..
Akecheta is a fuckin poet. My favorite episode so far. Storytelling, direction, cinematography, score, character developement. Everything was top notch.
I dont like this redemption arc of Clarissa, I get it shes actually not such a bad person, it's clear since the end of the third season, but shes also a mass murderer I dont think that should be overlooked.
They actually trying the same thing with Filip, but unlike Clarissa he seems not really to feel remorse, but you never know cause hes eclectic af. One moment you think he is reasonable and empathetic in the next hes a killer and a spoiled brat.. One moment you now he stands up to his father but in the next hes again the little child. I know they tryin to show us how hes torn between his father, mother and everything but it's way to random and now well written imo.. And hes also a mass murderer so I dont think he deserves a redemtion arc either.
One thing this show really doesnt know how to do are reunions.. Like wtf was that between Drummer and Naomi?
And I think the talk between Drummer and Avasarala was way to short and superficial, pretty sure the Belters had alot of conditions to talk about..
Naomi's survival seems hella unconvincing but oh well.. Also they really didn't gave the characters or us a moment to mourn Alex' death in any way ): and with all the med tech and sensors on them could it even happen like that out of nothing? With no warning at all?
Then we had the biggest catastrophe on earth since million of years and the impact it should have wasn't jus there, and it's not only cause lots of it happened off screen - i actually like when sometimes major things happen like that so it's a fullon surprise - it's more like how the ppl behave and talk..
Still overall, this was the first good season since the first one for me.
They not gonna pull a homeland here will they?
As someone who read the manga this episode still hit quite good, tho I think it could've staged a lil better. Anyways still a great finale. For everyone who thinks next season will even increase in terms of action and violence be prepared it will not. What we will get more is tragedy and suffering. Brace yourselfs.
10mins into the episode and i feel something like the red wedding is incoming.......
Best episode of the show. Did not expect the ending.
i assume Paul is actually young Pruit? He somehow got young on his journey, cause it seems to me he knows to much about the ppl of the village and it didn't sounded like he could've told Paul all of the details about all of them.. Jus wondering if its really him why nobody recognizes him, someone must have knew him from old times..? Although the docs mom seemed to react to him, hmm.. Also, could there be a vampire/monster or so be involved? Cause he brought that big box with him and it seemed something is in it, and then we had mentioning of something big flying, and the yellow eyes..
The Silo's architecture and look reminds me alot of Tsutomu Nihei's megastructures in 'Blame' and 'Sidonia'. So. other thing, as the suit does not prevent someone dying outside why noone ever jus says "fuck the suit".. Obviously theres somehing put in, that makes the ppl collapse when they go outside, tho, I'm not sure they really kill them or jus let them faint and then collect them and whatever.. Maybe theres a secret society outside and the Silo is some kind of test and only the ppl who are brave and curious enough to go outside gets chosen or something.. And the ppl who control the Silo are either with them or against them hmm..
Pretty sure someone else could've fill that space with water instead of Juliette going all the way down, or if she has to go at least someone could've help Cooper holding the blade and putting it in.........
This seems something like a mix of 'Attack On Titan' and Tsutomo Nihei's 'Blame' Manga or maybe a 'City Of Ember' for adults.
hhhh seriously wtf why are they not dying?
