What the fuck is this?
For a series premier, this was not a good episode. For a doctor who episode, it wasn't a good episode. The CGI on the babies mouths was horrific.
This sucked. The rest of the season better be better.... I love Ncuti. And have been super excited even after the dismal Ruby Road troll thing. But this was both disgusting and too childish. Maybe Disney involvement is ruining the messaging that Whovians are accustomed to. This came off as made for children rather than the fan base. I hope it gets better.
Better than the second episode, and again some of the changes in the adaptation make sense, but overall it feels a bit dumber than the book. The book has its own issues, but I had hoped those could be remedied without giving up on the strong ideas. They're still there, but watered down.
ranjit's actor's monologue about the war was incredible tbh
If you have decided to wait till the Finale to watch this show, & stream it back to back, then I suggest to strap yourself in, cause you're in for one of the great Masterpieces on either TV or Streaming right now
If this isn't nominated for an Emmy(s) then there's a problem
Want to keep seeing more masterpieces of shows like this, keep em coming
A beautiful conclusion to this limited series. A work of fantastic storytelling that I'm sure people will be talking about for a long time. Captivating from start to finish made this adaptation worthwhile.
Sad this is over - we really have had such a treat of talent coming together to tell a fantastic story.
A perfect finale, I'll admit I thought maybe we'd get a big battle to end things off (which would've been cool of course) but I love that this finale just stays in line with what the rest of the show has been, incredible dialogue, outstanding character moments and a score that brings out the emotions at the perfect time. That final scene was so touching too, seeing where Blackthrone started with that village / Toranaga and where he ended up with both of those things, beautiful
A befitting finale. I was hoping this episode would be an all out war episode , but as I finished watching it , I came to the realisation that an all out war would be contradicting the season so far. So happy how they ended it .
If last week's penultimate episode was the show's dramatic peak, this finale is an elegiac send-off, with Mariko's loss really felt by all (and which Jarvis beautifully conveys that throughout). Sanada and (especially) Asano are really in top form throughout, especially during that cliff's climatic conversation. Great series.
"Why tell a deadman the future?"
I couldn't have asked for a more fitting finale for this "piece of an art" mini-series. The bar was set high. It could've been either like the GoT finale or Breaking Bad finale. So glad they stayed consistent from start to finish. Undoubtedly, this ranks among the greatest miniseries ever produced.
Many people may be dissatisfied with the finale if they expected to watch an all-out war, which contradicts the entire idea of the show.
Iris is a breath of fresh air! I hope she's not immediately killed for no reason (but who are we kidding...)
Great episode but I do wish it was a little more balanced instead of ‘America’ all the time. The British were caricatured in this and the voiceover fails to point out that night raids were a necessity due to fighting alone for 4 years and losing aircraft early on. By the time the US came in precision bombing was possible because of numbers and the technological development. The vast majority of British pilots were kids just like the Americans, not members of the gentry like portrayed.
The bravery of the men stands on its own in my opinion, not sure the narrative needs to try and layer perceptions instead of facts over this.
I have no words after watching this.
If I did, they'd be nothing but positive.
What a show.
All the tension, all the emotions... One of the greatest hours of tv ever.
I've never before rated a single episode on Trakt, but this one was so tremendously good that I had to.
Are you giving a negative review simply because you didn't understand the first episode? Should a television series be expected to tell its story in a straightforward manner from beginning to end? Or should we not pay attention to other aspects, such as cinematography, set design, and acting?
I would suggest that individuals with such preferences might enjoy watching "SpongeBob SquarePants" instead.
This show goes from strength to strength. Great pacing, acting, sets, music, the works! If you're not watching it, and can handle subtitles, then i suggest you find it and make some time.
Once grand, now shadows,
Despair cloaks greatness in gloom,
Echoes of what was.
Honestly, fuck this glorious show.
It was a episode that approached the quality of legendary television episodes like "Ozymandias" from Breaking Bad and "The Rains of Castamere" from GoT, it's the best episode of the series so far, and it got me hyped for the finale. :star_struck:
Everyone's crazy for not giving this a 10. The tension was so good, music and lighting great. Acting superb. Mariko drew a line in the sand and forced all the other lords to acknowledge it. The music during the stand off was amazing. Some big pay offs like the last minute intervention by Ishido, the short intimacy, the betrayal, the meeting between former friends, and twists and reversals was crazy. I loved this episode. Can't wait to see what happens in the finale. I'll miss the romance subplot though =(
Astounded by what this show can pull off and make it look effortless. On the edge of my seat this whole episode.
This episode broke me. Masterful episode!
Only one episode left and no vertibird has randomly crashed yet, smh 0/10 accuracy
Finally! The Fallout 4 theme music I was waiting for!
The score when Lucy saw the NCR flag… chills! I have nothing against Ramin Djawadi, he really know how to make a great score, but the show is very much missing out without the ambient music made by the dudes who composed the games.
The secrets of Vaults 31-32-33 are so far the most interesting thing going on, which is pretty on par with how exploring vaults in the games is some of the most interesting thing to do.
