Alright, Kat really annoyed me in this episode. There she gets the responsibility to watch a 7 year old, and can’t even do that. She’s probably also one of those doctors who don’t really care for their patients much — it’s the nurses job. Put a kid into an office and just leave is so irresponsible. Especially a high maintenance kid like Dion, especially after his mom explicitly expressed worry. :rolling_eyes:
Dion started to get a bit on my nerves here too though. It’s not that difficult to respect your mom’s wishes, or read her being worried as a sign to maybe do what she asks and not entirely act out. Or maybe I was just a different kind of kid, if that is normal. Hmm.
Was stoked to see a show focussing on not white people for once as well, but sort of hoped they wouldn’t HAVE to put The Asian or The Brown etc in there for the quota. After they already had The White one :joy: And enter Suzanne hahah.
Despite what I’m saying here though, I still like the show very much. Enjoyed the ending of this episode.
“I’m looking at the rain people”
... oh. Oh this is not... what I expected.
But why don’t you leave when you’ve been told -by a credible source- that it’s dangerous and you have to go?! Even after a lady goes missing you’re just like lala la gotta stay away from civilisation lala... come ON girl?!
“Molotov cocktails work! Anytime I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail... BOOM, right away, I had a different problem.”
Lmao I loved that human starter kit. That banana case... I never used one :joy:
Cute how this season incorporated Michael. It’s a bit hard to believe you’d be alright with someone torturing you for this long, but hey, maybe the show is trying to make a point that it is “human to forgive” or something.
Jason’s version of hell though.
“I’ll be at a skrillex concert and waiting for the bass to come... and ... and ... breaks out in tears and it’ll never come!”
I really thought this would be the last episode, ending on another cliffhanger. I was wrong.
And of course we end on a cliffhanger!
So many unanswered questions.
music box! Gnomes under dreamland? Have they always been there? Are they D’s underlings? Was it all a plan by D to get... to do ... something? Why couldn’t you stay in steam land longer? why is zog so useless? :sob:
I had not seen this classic before today, and I don’t regret either watching it now, nor having not watched it when I was much younger haha. Great piece artistically in so many ways (the soundtrack, the cinematography, Jennifer herself), but so traumatising. Sheesh.
The pace is nicely set, but in the end it just keeps throwing things at you for some truly shocking, “throwing-the-popcorn” kind of moments.
And if you ever were to choose a super power... maybe consider insects :grimacing:
I recommend watching this with a bunch of friends, or a film club.
(I also had to wonder whether there is any connection between this being Jennifer’s first film/film before the labyrinth, and the main score made by “Goblin”? :joy:)
Intense episode.
I actually shed a tear.
I wonder what brain major was on in the end though. Nailed Blaine.
Now, I don’t mind movies that don’t make any apparent sense. In fact, I can appreciate some of them when they are, for example, paired with a quirky humour, deep wisdom, or absolute horror. In short, if there is something about it that makes it worthwhile.
Not so the teen-horror “it follows”. We’re never really told what it actually is, that follows - some sort of STC (sexually transmitted curse) first cast by a witch scorned/horny and angry/pissed and hateful? Who knows. All we know is that it follows until you give it to someone else, and again if they happen to die.
Up to a certain point, the movie wasn’t too bad. That must have been the point where I started doubting there ever would be some sort of solution or explanation, and it starting to make no sense. Running away from your follower forever is hardly a solution. Transmitting the curse until it comes back to you isn’t either.
Following the example of other such movies about curses, the group of friends could have at least tried to figure out where it was really coming from. Insert some exciting amateur sleuth work, the usual frantic newspaper search in a marathon with time, a back-tracking of sexual partners or at the very least some detecting about “mysterious death cases” after “running from an invisible threat”. Anything? Really?
No. Instead, they come up with some sort of undescribed “plan”, isolate themselves in an abandoned pool, put the girl inside for bait while decorating the edge with plugged-in electrical appliances. Why? Are you guys intending to fry the thing? We’ve never seen it in water, while we have indeed seen it wet. When Jamie points to the invisible threat and tells her friends how it is indeed not getting in the water (while always walking an accurate zip-line to its victim, right?) we may begin to form the theory it truly abhors water. If that were the case, why not camp out on an island somewhere? No, instead you put the victim in a pool ready to be electrocuted. “If I’m gonna die I’m gonna take a few with me?” You think the thing is going to die if the victim dies voluntarily? Or was the plan to electrocute it? Shooting it didn’t work. Not sure why electrocution should.
Well, while the follower seems reluctant to get in the water, instead throws things at Jamie, the friends try to shoot it, until it ends up in the water.
But then, as they finally have Jamie out of the water… why did they never follow through with the electrocution plan? All they do is huddle around her and yell hysterically about the invisible’s whereabouts. Which still is the water. As it mysteriously disappeared in a cloud of blood.
Soooo it is allergic to water after all? Is it “dead”?
The end of the movie, with Jamie having sex with her friend, and her friend driving through a red light district, suggests otherwise.
Either way, they did nothing really to stand up against it, and nothing is explained, with neither smart dialogue or ancient wisdom woven into the story.
Left me about as satisfied as Jamie, each time she was part of a transmission.
Boo.
It was great watching this randomly with a friend, when I start thinking she looks like Famke, but all I dare say is “she LOOKS REALLY FAMILIAR”, and when my friend was caught up I told her whom she reminded me of “like maybe she’s her mom? Or she watched this episode and was like THIS IS HOW I WANT TO ACT LATER”...
But hey. I guess she’s just a vampire who never physically ages :sob:... it was actually her.
So our conspiracy theories started.
Since both of them were in X-Men, maybe Sir Stewart said he wouldn’t join unless they get that beautiful empath from back when, and well, no one can refuse X sooooo... here we are.
The night is dark and full of... Oh.
Okay Ursula comes right after Oona. Bear and lizard women are definitely the best. Or -people. Not surprising, being partially animal would make any person a better one.
Which is why I have a hard time understanding the people’s reaction. I love her!
“At lease the reptile sex was quiet” :joy:
I can change!!!
And not just my robe... my entire outfit!
That quote aside, Oona is definitely risen out from the depth with some newfound badass glamour.
Ok this episode is great.
“Aaaah I’m a human, my eating tube is next to my breathing tube and my arms end in little... sticks!”
And that existential crisis is really good hahaha
... sooo... how often are they going to do this...
it hasn’t been quite as entertaining so far.
Was my impression for 75% of the time. Ends in a good place though, and now I’m back on the fun train.
Speaking of which, Mindi was great.
“Wow, that’s the best soup I ever had.”
“It’s whisky”
:joy:
It got so dark suddenly!
Loved how they ended it though.
And the biggest spoiler/non-spoiler is...
DARYLL
I felt so sad for Zach. I understand Walt’s decision to be strict, but not listening to the possibly vital information Zach had I believe to have been a mistake. But I loved how Ferg steps in for him despite his initial feelings.
And feared for both Henry and Cady. This episode was intense.
But loved how the guys’ abuse of Rez-laws from the previous episodes comes back to bite them.
But then it just gets worse and worse.
And better, and worse. For an episode!
The best line was probably ”if she’s a hawk, then she’s out of my jurisdiction.” That was beautiful.
I also have an inkling who that “patient” is...
Vic is being so awkward around Eamonn... but then I realised I’d forgotten about her jumping to conclusions when trying to call him earlier.
Goosebumps.
This episode was incredibly hard to watch. Reality is freaking harsh.
Wonderful episode. I got so emotional during that last interview/test. Love the depth of characters in this show so much. And the repeating grey zones of what is right and just.
Was a bit painful to be in that position that you get the point, either side of it, or rather, the one side that begot the crime especially. Sad story in that sense.
Henry is the best. It's in all those simple things. "Food eases sorrow" being a single one.
The computer still being warm after x hours it must have taken for Branch to supposedly go down the river, kill himself and be found... is unlikely. Big give-away right there.
Shotgun was lying there a little too neatly as well.
Let alone the fishy super-dramatic caps-letter.
“This fight isn’t about who’s going to rule the world. It’s about who will build the next one.”
I love the neo noir pieces and general style of this episode!
When he’s asked whether he has a suit and answers with “I have a red suit?” was a nice touch. That, and Bollywood. And Rebecca going on about how he looked in a suit :joy:
I think I’m high.
Kittens were a bonus. But the USA has some terrible ice cream flavour so.
I don’t get how people manage to watching the show this far and not having figured out yet that it’s a freaking trip, and then rating it low. For the crazy ride this show has been, his episode is pretty excellent.
Holy shit, this show is good.
I was fearing for everyone in this episode, and glued to my spot, breathless I reckon.
The little twist with “the Indian” was real nice.
But the massacres and ... dear gods, why whitey. Why like this.
Broke my heart.
Beautiful ending(s) though, all in all. Despite sad.
That sort of cliched “lonesome cowboy rides west” in the end was so beautifully done, it kind of brought me to tears. guilty
That little Arkham Horror moment was enjoyable.
I like how they’ve been handling the show as a huge joke, makes me take it more seriously.
The kittens were a nice touch.
Not sure anybody in this show right now is a decent person. Except for maybe, again, Kathy. I get confused whether the episodes play chronologically (my fault, could pay more attention to the first seconds), but as this being chronological after all, wtf is Ian’s deal. throws hands in the air
This main cast is basically made up of a bunch of immature assholes.
Lmao. They say Kathy is "such a mess". By now she seems to be the one who's the least of a mess in this whole show. Well, she and her guy - haven't seen enough of him yet to ascertain his state of messiness haha.
