and the award for worlds slowest elevator goes to...
Hi, I was hoping to make it home for dinner, but things are very topsy-turvy at the office.
I really love when Morgan said "all life is precious", he is the contrast of Rick. Rick, as Morgan, has lost everything, but you can see Morgan (Ok, once he was crazy, but now he is not) isn't gone crazy as Rick has.
Let's point this out: Morgan isn't using his loses as excuses to kill anyone who stands in front of him, don't challenge the man with the stick when he says "all life is precious", he is damn right, this reflects a inner peace of this man which is critical, more critical than the skill of killing people indiscriminately, if you want to survive in the zombie apocalypses from the the threats that comes from the outside... and from the inside.
Goddamn if the tears didn't flow while they were all eating dinner. Brutal and satisfying, a spectacular way to open the new season.
"Alexa, what the fuck happened to Darlene?"
Sorry about my comment on last week's episode, I guess he does have guts. I've never been more embarrassed.
they can't just kill one of the atlanta five and get away with it
This episode was great fun. All the "waaa! I hate musicals" children can, in the words of Abraham "suck my nuts".
P.S: I'm pretty sure singing "Runnin' home to you", on key, to your girlfriend will earn you unlimited sex for the rest of your life.
That hand will forever stay on the wall.
That Nauvoo launch sequence was beautiful. We need more space shows on TV right now.
Guys, guys, yes, some main characters might've just died, but can we just appreciate that we got a MacGyver Elliot stealing wifi with a Pringles can this episode?
'Apparently on Legion' that's genius
They spent years in a strange country pretending to fit in, in order to do what was best for their home country. Now they’re “home”, but like Philip says it feels strange. And then Elizabeth tells him, in their native language that they’d been forbidden to use, that they’ll get used to it, just like they did all those years ago in America. No shoot outs. No chase scenes. No deaths. Just a man and a woman realizing they just lost everything they loved.
I give it a 10/10 for Nick Offerman's performance in this episode. Quit fantastic.
Good episode with great quotes like Captain Cold's: "This isn't my first prison break"
Holy shit I can't believe it, they finally handled Iron Fist perfectly! Danny is now completely different and acts like Iron Fist in comics. He says wise/philosophical words out of nowhere. Fight was also awesome. YES!
NEED.MORE.TEAM.UP!!
I'll see you tomorrow, Miller
"Now, who's the villain Flash? Now, who's the villain?" I got goosebumps, literally.
My body is ready, slugger.
[YELLS FOR 50 MINUTES STRAIGHT]
Objectively this show is not good. Bad writing, plotholes and such but I just love every second of it.
And now with that ending I very much look forward to next season.
That's probably the best episode that the show has ever done and my favourite episode of anything from 2020 so far. WOW. What a rollercoaster. We've reached the part where we've caught up with Revenge of the Sith and that can only mean that bad stuff is going to happen. I like how Obi-Wan has been able to keep Ahsoka up to date of where we are in it - he's off to Utapau, Anakin's spying on the Chancellor and they can't learn about Sidious from Dooku because Anakin killed Dooku.. on Palpatine's orders. Obi-Wan admitting that the Council aren't always right and getting Ahsoka to speak to Anakin on his behalf was a nice touch too, even if it hasn't happened yet.
This whole arc was building up to the Maul/Ashoka fight and it was as every bit as epic as I was hoping it would be, the animation is legendary and the fact that Maul knows what's going to happen and baits Ahsoka with Anakin turning to the Dark Side was handled really well. These little touches throughout the episode of showing Ahsoka caring for the Clones and them respecting her in return is only going to make the next two episodes all the more emotional, because it's going to get to Order 66. And I'm NOT READY. The idea of a Maul and Ahsoka team-up to stop Order 66 was fascinating - and might still happen - two former apprentices working together. Maul technically tried to save the galaxy too by wanting to bring Anakin to Mandalore to kill him before he could turn to Sidious really worked too - even if it was only Maul acting as the bitter ex and in his own self-interests - after all, Anakin would be the second apprentice that Sidious had since him.
Maul screaming that he would rather die than witness what was coming next and begging for The Clones to kill him rather than take him prisoner was, certainly a morbid end. I love what the show has done with his character too - I groaned when they brought him back the first time but Maul's arc has been as good over the course of the series as Ahsoka has, and as absolutely vital to the show. Revenge of the Sith is going to hit a little differently after this.
The only good thing about this show is that we're one week closer to The Walking Dead after each episode.
American Gods is the only show to portray accurately what it feels like to be kicked in the balls.
This show continues to be the only CW supes show that still remembers to bring the fun. ARROW never did, being dark and dreary from day one. THE FLASH gave it up a while back for some reason and opted to go down the ARROW road. SUPERGIRL is pure relationship soap opera these days. But LEGENDS? Its braintrust continues to offer plenty of crazy, brainless fun. And props to them for that.
when George Washington founded a little startup we've come to know as these United States of America, and he was tired of getting shit from his CEO, the King of England, did he just roll over and take it from behind?
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.
Someone please go back in time and make them give the director's chair of Episodes 7, 8 and 9 to Dave Filoni because he goddamn deserves it.
