They really nailed the humour in this episode. I haven't had so many uncontrollable laughs in ages and even thinking about what I just watched makes me chuckle.
Yeah, it might've been somewhat of a filler episode, but a brilliant one. I keep loving this show more and more.
this episode perfectly reflects the best of what limitless has to offer: a catching story, great actors, a lot of sarcasm, yet enough room to get your attention caught.
Even though I really liked the Pilot, something just felt a little bit off about it.
The visual atmosphere they're creating is perfect and it clearly shows which direction this show is supposed to head. Also, the music is really well-picked and just fits.
But while the looks and the characters, as well as the story assume an atmosphere similar to classic Nordic crime shows, the pace so far feels way too fast, as if they couldn't manage to fit all the content into a single episode otherwise. That, for me, kind of disrupted all the things that were so great about it. Nevertheless, we'll see how it all develops- it was still a very solid Pilot.
Unlike part 1, where they've just been trying way too hard with their 'PURE' thing, this episode just feels completely wholesome on every level. It really is a perfect finale for Gilly Cassie.
'I hate you!'
BLOWS UP EVERYTHING WITH A FUCKING NUKE
Seriously. I've hated Zack from the very beginning, although at least the first actor still was somewhat bearable.
But not only does the 'newly' cast Zack deserve a prize for worst acting in history (and yes, I've seen 'The Room'); his character also deserves one for being the most disliked TV show character in history.
I honestly can't remember despising any character in a movie or show as much as I do Zack. Kudos to the writers for (accidentally?) creating the perfect villain. No, not the strigoi, but Zack.
I can't believe that it's easier for me to empathise with and genuinely like an android than 90% of the other human characters.
Especially that very short conversation between Suki and Six in the Marauder was simply heart-warming.
I don't know why, but I genuinely feel bad for Blood Boy. I kinda hoped he'd become somewhat more integral to the season's developments.
The ending was a bit obvious. I mean, no straight guy ever would call his best friend's girlfriend 'GIRL' during a Skype call.
So I kind of was just waiting for the revelation, which was nonetheless awesome and hella funny.
I'm really glad about the fact that Ana was featured on Chef's Table.
Of course, one may always criticize that what she's doing there isn't a lot different from what so many other restaurants are trying to do, in terms of local ingredients and respect towards the environment.
But I see her from a little different perspective.
Not only was this episode much more pleasing than a lot of the others from a viewer's perspective, but it was her character that made it even more so.
In this episode, I see two really different aspects that work so great together.
For one, there's the fact that she was more or less forced to take over the kitchen and learn virtually everything on her own, in a more or less unknown conservative country scarred by communism, with a quasi non-existent culinary history.
And then there's this spark of her, this unexpected entrepreneurial sense and her craving for freedom and the expression of creativity.
And somehow, God knows how, over a long course with a lot of rough patches, she managed to combine all that and lift both herself and her restaurant up to a level that's really hard to beat.
With a little outside help, she managed to place herself onto the international map of gastronomic highlights and give Slovenia some sense of gastronomic identity.
Doing all this while preserving her being down to earth and continuing this journey really deserves all of the respect there is. And I'm really looking forward to seeing how she and her husband develop themselves even further over the next years.
Take Steve Jobs and amplify the amount of creativity, radicalism and the drive to establish an emotional connection to the product and the overall experience by a factor of 10.
Grant Achaz is a genius in so many ways, showing the rawest of dedication and obsession and the will to break (not only) boundaries to achieve something new and different. He's not only a chef, but a top-notch artist, portrayed perfectly in this one very short hour.
One of my top 5 most favourite episodes so far. The script was fantastic as usual and the ending emotional af.
Damn, I can't stand the thought of this show being over soon.
This was probably the kind of ending I least expected, due to it being just so obvious and somewhat uncreative.
I haven't read the book, therefore I can't say a think about the storyline or the ending, for that matter.
But there were so many chances where one could've built in a couple of awesome plot twists that would've made the entire thing not only a whole lot more enjoyable, but much more fitting to the whole complex thing that the concept of time travel is.
For example: Since they set the focus so heavily on the fact that time doesn't want itself to be changed, they could've easily changed the storyline in a way that doesn't really change the past in such a hard way.
What if Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the one responsible for the assassination of JFK, but Mr. Amberson himself? What if Lee Harvey Oswald was nothing more than a patsy and the FBI or whoever else was actually the one responsible for the shooting? What if, that, after changing the past in a rather impactful way, there was no way of going back through the rabbit hole, since said change dismissed the fact that the rabbit hole existed in the first place?
These are just a couple of 'what ifs' that I've asked myself at the beginning and throughout the series, 'what ifs', that I figured the writers and producers of this show also must've asked themselves when being presented with a plot that's so diverse and changeable in such numerous ways.
And, sadly, these 'what ifs' are nothing more than, well, 'what ifs', since it seems like this huge amount of possibilities was just too huge an amount for the people creating this show to actually explore them, at all.
So the actual ending itself appeared to me as nothing more than way too straight-forward, obvious and rather uncreative, running adrift to being a slightly cheesy love story ending.
there were some good moments and a rather predictable twist, but overall it felt just weak and as if they were trying too hard to be #deep.
I'm at a loss of words. 'Holy shit' kinda describes it best. My goosebumps' goosebumps say that this might be the best episode I've ever watched on television.
This has to be one of my favourite episodes of Scandal, yet.
Yeah, the schematics are repetitive and we've already seen this kind of behaviour from Jake, Olivia and her dad before.
And yeah, we get that it's pretty much impossible to free oneself from Papa Pope's grasp, as they've shown us what feels like a kajillion times already.
But what I found really interesting about this episode are the constant flashbacks into Jake's past, since this was the first time we were ever granted with not only a glimpse of it, but an entire revelation as to why it really is so fricking hard to escape Olivia's dad and to rid oneself from his influence.
Conclusion? Rowan's a psychopath. Yeah, nothing new. But the kind and amount of psychological terror that he'd put on Jake over the years finally gives us a logical explanation to Jake's and Olivia's behaviour over the past seasons that at first glance might've seemed a bit irrational and without logic.
definitely not as catching as the previous season finale, yet again with a massive cliffhanger that shows just how they can't get away with murder.
that was more than just an appropriate start for season 4. really excited!
