I CALLED IT gods I am so proud of myself hahaha
But uh oh when he said cluster B… I flinched. There’s a cluster A somewhere isn’t there …
In which the big clue brings me back to my “unlikely suspicions” from a few episodes back. I’m back on there now. Guys you’re looking in the wrong direction.
How can Darby be this cold when pools in Iceland as default are hot water :thinking:
Fantastic work of art.
Intriguing story of a woman becoming.
And “I must go punch that baby” is one of the best things I have heard in a while. I will want to use it.
Again a show with many good points. There’s the climate thing and how we’re destroying the planet – in a sense. How really just the richest can do anything about it, but also we’re so self centred. The planet won’t care. We’d just destroy ourselves and the current life, and new life would happen.
And this thing about the cigarettes and how nowadays it’s the phones. Yes.
“We are powerless to ice, to wind, to cruelty.”
And how when you’ve experienced the vast nothingness and death of the universe, life on earth suddenly becomes so precious.
Running thoughts commentary.
Watch how suddenly suspicious Sian seems much less suspicious by being … up front? If we believe her not knowing how to hack of course and all that. She seems pretty smart. So suspicions are back on.
So Rohan and Bill were in some sort of thing together, and both got killed for it. There were three cups though so probably someone else on the team was with them and likely to be targeted next. I would guess the Chinese lady, she keeps having reactions, and also did not love seeing all those self organising AI.
also suspecting someone outside of the team, as Rohan signalled to someone who seemed to not be part of the household.
Then there’s always staff – easily overlooked, immediately suspicious. The head concierge has been fishy from the start, and still is.
Then there’s the rich pedophile… we love hating him so he’s probably not it.
Still Andy is the most suspicious one! That never changed.
Who else here thought Zoomer was really Bill’s kid, ever since their interaction at the table and Andy’s glare?
Also not me wondering how a car parked in Iceland forever would be warm enough for them not to have visible breath clouds. Also not me rolling my eyes at people thinking they know how to drive in a fucking blizzard in Iceland. :upside_down:
Hate when suddenly everyone seems suspicious. Both the people who seemed sad and the people who seem unfazed by it. Everyone who talks to Darby now seems suspicious, as well as those who don’t. Tomas was fishy already when she ran into him but he doesn’t seem the mask wearing type.
“The eight richest men in the world hold the same wealth as the 3.6 billion poorest people.”
And suddenly Ray doesn’t have a hot Bath drawn for Darby. Pshhh.
Andy’s unblinking stare is unnerving. As is the way he tends to be filmed from half in the shadows. We’re MEANT to suspect him, right? Just everything he does and how he comes across is soooo wrong.
But now I’m starting to suspect the unlikely - maybe the killer isn’t any of the guests. Maybe the killer is Ray.
Ayyy. And the immediate suspects are of course, Andy, because obviously he’s fishy somehow, and apparently Bill wasn’t invited by him.
Secondly the astronaut, she’s also fishy, and she was made cool right from the start so we would like her. But Lei also had some sort of reaction which also makes her suspicious in some sense.
I won’t believe it’s Lee yet, I think she wanted Darby there to prevent something or help figure out the truth.
Slight hiccup, but… If Mitchell had made a film with Ray then he would know you had to be literal with it. That little piece with the lights was a bit unnecessary.
And that last scene of Bill and Darby meeting for the first time… almost broke my heart. Ugh. Great acting.
I love all about this so far.
The unlikely crime solver(s), and, the thought that maybe groups like Andy’s do exist in real life, that is a comforting thought.
Yet I can’t help but thinking at this point, Lee invited Darby to solve her own murder-to-be.
Is what I thought. Well.
Hmm… Why is he targeting people from the home, if it’s all about Lucy and her child, yet enlists some others in help (PeePee).
And why kill others from the orphanage to rile him up when he’s taking people that weren’t even “important” to Will to start with? Or did he not know which of the many children was Lucy’s child? Then that would make a bit more sense, but it never appeared to be such.
Wish
Is it just me who thinks that song with Asha and the King seems somewhat inappropriate… it’s so most definitely a love song, and while it’s directed at the wishes, just listening to it, anyone would with ease be able to interpret it as a couple singing to each other. Or the child they’re having together or something, either way, focus back on King and Asha and that does taste a little bitter.
I love how later it connects both Bambi (the rabbit AND the actual deer the bear calls Bambi) and Alice (mushrooms and flowers anyone?). This movie is a trip. (Again, all those shroom references! Lmao) And in the end with Wendy and Peter… there must be so many references to other Disney films I haven’t noticed haha. Other than how basically every citizen’s wish turns them into another Disney movie … tangled, wreck it Ralph… And Saba I suppose was a hats off to Walt himself :)
I thought that if Disney managed to pull off the “misunderstood bad guy”, I’ll like this. I guess they started there, but it turned more into a “villains making” story.
Cute film. Not nearly enough songs to count as a proper Disney film though, right?
I watched this without knowing anything about it and…
This is already so weird! I love weird.
At first it irked me how people want to make her seem like the crazy one, I always hate that. But then it’s like I myself feel a bit crazy. The show keeps dropping lines that give me deja vus.
The first time was when her aunt says “she was like a sister to me”, that whole line, and I thought there was one like “he is like a brother” at which another person gets mad and replies “why is it always LIKE a brother why can’t it be just brother” sort of thing, and it feels like it might be from the film “The Humans”.
Then this “your trash is now my treasure”
And with the princess thing I already felt like I was going a bit insane somewhere in the back of my mind.
And just when we’re thinking she’s just “simply” sleepwalking but not actually going anywhere else, she… does? And where the hell did that cat go. Is it now in another time line?
And why the f does her ancestor? want to kill Rufus?
So her mother was “sleepwalking” like this too? And it killed her eventually?
I’m having SO MANY QUESTIONS.
And the show is giving deja vus inside of deja vus. The “princess” and the “ride” topic for one. Even the patrolman looked a bit like Kevin.
I’m just so fucking glad Kevin is not one of those people to think she’s crazy.
Lucy… I didn’t see that coming.
The fact they keep calling it boat, like it’s a tiny dinghy.
And as if they’ve never seen titanic - when the water gushed in my second hand trauma hit.
And then suddenly the show skips several hours just like that, too.
The twist too, her believing Rufus had abandoned her and having so much rage about someone killing her mom, in the end it’s all the mother who did the abandoning.
—
All in all "Viktor" tries to deliver a good message, somewhere wrapped up in the story, and the show tries to deliver both that and the "but is that truly justified", but the last few episodes felt a bit anticlimactic, I'm not entirely buying the justifications.
Wasn't buying the "a few happy days in the snow" plot either, and wondered why the hell Imogene would, but ah, of course there was a bigger plot behind it.
I had wondered why the carts were rescued too.
I do like how they’re all one big team in the end. They could host a completely different show. Maybe they will, if season 2 becomes a thing.
And in the end, Imogene does put away the person who killed her mom, I suppose.
Well, the first half of the how was a lot more enjoyable than the latter, but I still did like it.
Nothing near as great as Only Murders though. Not even close.
Oho!
Spoilers -
I called it that Viktor was in fact a woman.
I had also started to suspect the right person somewhere through all of this. Feeling slightly accomplished. But only slightly.
Because I had NOT anticipated that last slap. It made some sense, I had an inkling it’s somewhat all about Imogene, because that angle has just been in the dark for the entire time, also something about Rufus leaving the first time around was still not entirely explained …
But this? Hmmmm…
I love how the three turn out to be connected. Even the douchebag.
“You seem nice!”
“Tolerant and nice is not the same thing :neutral_face:”
I like him already.
It MUST be Sunil. Like I said earlier, he’s everywhere and nobody notices him.
Now he’s in this random Italian town and everyone knows and loves him. Like he’s VM. But then I thought VM should be much older. But also maybe they’re actually a woman. Throwing people off the scent by using a man’s name.
Maybe it’s interpol?
The guy who owns the boat is super suspicious. He’s everywhere, nobody really notices him, he’s way too “nice” and smooth…
The kittens and the worm were a really nice touch. (Badumnts)
I like these little therapy sessions in Jen’s mind. And of course he would be an inappropriate crush. He seems so caring and proper. And fit for anyone with daddy issues
“I don’t have anything beige because my style icon isn’t a fucking baguette.”
And… oh Gavin.
Since working at a vet office I now know how it would never work like that, but it’s such an old comedic classic, well just have to let it slide.
Cute episode.
As much as I loved the first episode, I am hating almost everything about this one :sob:
I can’t stand Nora, she gives me all the bad vibes. Especially with her sweet tootsie toot telepathy.
Her kid is an asshole.
Alfie being sped up, I hate it. I felt like Jen - the only thing worse than kids being old white men.
Kash fucking everything up made me so mad and sad at the same time.
Carrie’s trip is making me anxious like she will have to pay for all the BS Kash is causing and I just hate it all :sob:
I love that this is back! I missed these guys. Of course, we have to complicate things right off the bat though.
Let’s see whether that other party comes back at some point. They could learn a thing or two about how to survive in a dungeon.
“Kensuke”
Ohhh I love that ending. New style but omg Ji-aaaaaa you’re crazy banging. They all look amazing though. And they’re rocking it.
This product placement is a whole different calibre though hahah.
Somehow I liked these two from the beginning. They reminded me of myself. Especially Ji-a. In-Beom is such a treasure chest.
I love how the characters develop in this. And how they’re not pushing romance at all; but simply friendships or the ability to appreciate one another.
Of course this show managed to press some tears out of me as well, as by now I should expect most Korean shows to do.
Loved it! Had a very different energy to the usually watched, a bit more serious yet sweet and funny.
And who doesn’t love a good exorcism!
I love how the characters develop in this. And how they’re not pushing romance at all; but simply friendships or the ability to appreciate one another.
What’s with In-Beom in the door in all these weird positions xD who stands to the door with their back to it, waiting for it to be opened? If he could have turned around with flowing hair… I’d get it but… he doesn’t even have that hahah.
I think it’s sweet how that thug, I keep forgetting his name, is like a second son to the old lady. He’s pretty much like him. A bit useless, but deep down kind of an ok guy.
But oh shit. That ending. Oh no.
Saying what you want when you need to… will prevent you from becoming a vengeful spirit.
That’s a great drive.
