The award for the most unexpectedly sweet moment of the season goes to Olivia and Anwar rushing to Ruby's side when she was hurting. Their friendship sometimes seems really superficial, but they truly do care about each other. I love that.
I'm still not on board with Maeve and Isaac, but I liked that their scene together showed a different kind of intimacy. It wasn't the usual graphic sex stuff, and it felt appropriate for the moment and for the characters.
I'm all teary at both Angel's and Papi's wedding vows (Indya Moore especially knocked the wind out of me). This may be my favorite episode of the show alongside last season's vacation one "Life's a Beach", since both are pure celebratory joy and Pose excels at that mode because of its total maximal commitment to it.
Another mind fuck episode and the best after credits so far
I'm not sure it hit me on the emotional level as it was intented, either because I feel Sayid was uninteresting for me since season 4, and Sun and Jin were also stuck on the level of "Where is he?/Where is she?" for 2 seasons now, which was faithful to their characters, but made them a bit boring. And Frank.. I can't even say anything about Frank. See where I'm going? I'm sad to see all of them gone, but it didn't hit me on the level as I think they wanted to. It nice to see Jack to find his faith though, even makes me nostalgic about the time he and John were arguing. Glad to see the circle coming full.
The horse is our hero. This episode, and series, is a great take on the dangers of blaming people for their ancients' actions.
So Kenny is the Hound and Mike Ehrmantraut.
well there goes my favorite lesbian badass goddammit this show wont let me REST
We're so used to penultimate episodes having a big, shaking event that sets the season finale, that this standalone episode of the girls enjoying their time was such a breath of fresh air.
Korra damaged and processing the shit she's been through? Yes.
This is the content we rarely get to see in female protagonists. This has been an amazing journey so far. Really feeling season 4 and the time jump
Huge spoiler alert in this comment but, and I'm definately not the first person to say this but; I feel like Zaheer tieing Korra up and poisoning her, and indeed all her tramatic experiences with Iman refrences sexual assualt. The way she talks about it afterward "I had no control", obviously strongly suggests. The ritual way in which they do is very real and scary for a kids show.
The best part of this episode is seeing how powerful Korra really is. Her firebending is amazingly strong because she has so much aggression and Zaheer is such a little pest in his fighting style.
That philosophical discussion between Korra and Zaheer tho
Finally an episode with a story and humor that did remind me of Avatar.
This series has become such a chore to watch. It has neither AtLA's charm nor magic, and I do expect it to be this completely different story set in a different age. However, I really cannot get on board due to Korra's unsympathetic character and the drama with "ThE nEw TeAm AvAtAr". A lot of the frames are noticeably sloppily done too. Anyway. I really love Jinora! I did not expect her or any of Tenzin's kids to play such a big role. I love how Tenzin despite being hurt is still so proud of his little girl. Aang's descendants are my favorite part of the show this season.
Where is Virgin dude? Ahh... I was curious about how he would end up...
Jessica is the perfect example why some guys think of girls/women the way they do. She had "special" conversations both with Mark and Barnett, then she was surprised that after she made up her mind and chose the latter, she fell between two stools and got angry when Barnett played the same card on her as she did on Mark. :clap: The devoted guy got dumped by a woman who isn't even worthy of him (by what I saw, at least). Then when she's dumped, she goes back to the devoted guy.
And dudes keep falling for Jessicas.
On a funnier note... Is Rory every guy's best friend or relationship coach or what? xD I wanna see him spitting that wisdom to girls too, not just the guys!
In a show just chock full of devastating observational details and grace notes, I think the one that hit me the hardest was the way Connell argues when faced with the utterly justified ire of Marianne and his mother. He has no idea how to react, nor how to process their reactions in the moment, and so he retreats to this eminently sensible tone. Even when what he's actually saying is complete nonsense, he still clings to that mask of maturity, of being the reasonable one. It's just perfectly written, and incredibly played by Paul Mescal.
Also, Lorraine is the f**king best.
That was so hard to watch, so sad
What an absolutely steller last episode
Sawyer, always my favourite character bar none, in so much pain with the loss of Juliet
Kate, well, she changes her mind so frequently, she lives life in a state of constant panic I should think.
Jack, a pain in the ass since the beginning, now instrumental in setting off a bomb to put things back how they were because he wants it at any cost.
Sun, who seems to have no other words than 'where is my husband'
John; ah, John... he never really was 're-incarnated', he's still gone - what a kicker!
How convinient that the transporter managed to pick up the four people most relevant for the story.
So, this episode I like because it has a good storyline that once again involves the Prime Directive. Picard is faced with a situation in which he needs to come up with a solution which basically has to be in agreement with three parties involved. He manages to solve that brilliantly. The legal problem here is also interesting.
Only the moral speech about using drugs was a bit thick for my taste. And kinda needless. The story itself provides the problems with addiction and I for one always feel a bit patronized when given the moral with with the proverbial raised forefinger.
Great, now I want 6 seasons and a movie dedicated solely to the girls hanging out together. The final scene brought a tear to my eye.
Hasn't anyone noticed that the Meow Meow Beenz app was used identically for a Black Mirror episode? It's basically the same plot but treated differently
so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
In honour of Isle of Dogs, a haiku:
A film about dogs
Played and directed by gods
Don't eat yellow snow
Beauty, poetry, and charm. Isle of Dogs is Wes Anderson at his best.
It's funny how all these romance movies are exactly the same and yet we still keep watching them. The truth is, we all know what is going to happen before we even watch the movie. But we still watch and still somewhat enjoy them even though they're overly cheesy and predictable. My biggest take away: I want to go to New Zealand!
The name is LO IMPOSIBLE. Why you must change the original name? It was filmed in english, but still, the name is "Lo Imposible", in spanish, just like the real-life family.
Don't know how to feel about the episode with the most character development getting undone for the sake of it. But it's kind of the point of the show maybe? I don't know.... I don't know anything.
They should've called this film People Who Know Dumbo because when you replace the talking animals of the original cartoon with human actors, the movie stops being about Dumbo and more about people's drama. It's sad, actually, because the cartoon about Dumbo had more heart than anyone in this technological display.
I can't believe Otis had the audacity of calling Eric selfish... Dude, it was his birthday, you were supposed to be celebrating it with him
