What an end! This show managed to again make me weep. Brilliant ending. In a beginning.
“Science makes us understand how to live longer. Feelings… make us want to.”
(Or not)
I’ve missed this show.
I'm not convinced by the last episode. It's a bit too corn for my taste. I get you want to end a great show on altogether positive notes, but it all kind of rolls back to the cinderella speech. It's more like some kind of fairy tale.
What I did like, was the way that they got Faye out. The con was great.
From then on, it just went down the fairy-tale slope. All a happy family... ok, I'll take it. Louis getting married with Sheila and having their child the same day? With complications? Nyeh... Also the entire "there is no free room available" plot was empty and unnecessary.
As was the "I don't want to waste another second" by Harvey. I liked the rest of the speech, or more like, their vows later were nice enough, but what exactly are you wasting by not being married to the woman you love, YET, and just living with her as you do?
And then the whole thing about them marrying without Louis being there. That is something that normally would have hurt Louis a lot. We could blame him just having a daughter and going through the scare of maybe loosing both, while it turned out fine etc, but not even Donna or Harvey thought about that. Cheesy, and for the sake of their characters, unrealistic event.
Nice to have a little sum-up of the show together. And the "future" of Harvey and Mike together again, because for me, that is what Suits really is about.
And man, I miss those days with Rachel and Jessica. It really wasn't the same quality afterwards.
This is making me watch all the Lupins and read all the books. Aka, a work well done.
I love how he's playing Horizon Zero Dawn with his kid, too. Great choice. Although not sure which version had the option to play with others. Unless... unless this is exactly like "remember when you were a kid and your big brother let you hold a controller while you were playing"... maybe dad's just holding a controller :rofl:
I agree with the video discrepancies though that others pointed out. Someone with his skills and level would have copied or digitalised the tape. I get that for authenticity he'd bring the original, but they manipulated it anyway. But... backup of a vital piece of evidence is crucial. If he doesn't have it, here's the first real disappointment in the show.
Fuck. I was out for watching a “light hearted film” something to make me feel good.
Well that wasn’t it, but I’m glad I did anyway. Despite the shitshow of triggers toward the end and me feeling rather ... anything but good.
The “I have no family” - “You have me” about gave me the rest. Lighthearted film my ass.
It did do a marvellous job at punching me in the guts, and a marvellous job at leading me through it, too. :purple_heart:
“I thought I should be what I want to be, not what other people want me to be, that was just bullshit? You know, that conversation changed my life. Now I find out you can’t be who you are unless nobody around you disagrees with it”
Hats off.
Rather beautiful and strong portrayal of love and identity, and how parents fuck shit up for their kids.
Totally caught me off guard, so I can do little but marvel at its beauty and give it a full rating, my words have all but left me.
She’s being way too real, it almost makes me uncomfortably sad in between the laughs.
So many good lines.
Don’t feel bad for Doug, he’s terrible. Every time he tells a story, a child somewhere loses a balloon” :sob:
"First things first"...
Uhm how about duct-taping the bad guy or some shit especially since you don't know when they'll be waking up. No let's just keep her lying on the floor, nothing unsafe about that whatsoever.
Kudos til the non-binary line I suppose, but again the whole show is a bit too much on the tryhard-track for me to appreciate their "lets try and be inclusive" fully.
And I really can't with these kids. Last episode they (although it was an adult to be fair) brought the crown key RIGHT to both crown and Dodge, and now they're bringing both unconscious Dodge AND the fucking omega key TO the fucking door?! What the actual fffffff I just feel like hitting my head against a wall and cry until this episode is over. Just... 24 more minutes.
Just so much is wrong with this. Dodge most likely still duct-tape free (I'm a fan of duct tape plus everyone has that in their house, easy) under there, and now they're trying to open a door they have no clue what does to no-clue-what-end but Tyler is awful positive about that it WILL be an end "Let's end this"... you have no idea how this works, how do you suppose you will end it by opening an ominous door a fucking demon is really crazy about opening? And they all just cast away that odd thought about where the crown is, clearly it would have to have been on Doge, and how come there were no keys on her either, did they even bother to check? No, let's just wrap it up and toss it. And of course we don't get good camera-angles when the bullets fly out, we wouldn't want anyone to accidentally see what happens.
ARGH. I need to stop ranting.
Well after all this baiting for a second season we'll probably get one. Unless they decide to drop it, and I wouldn't be sad.
Not that it matters but how do they all go to the carnival together as “a group thing” but then don’t do a single thing as a group other than enter :joy:
Kudos to Nick for kissing Sabrina all goo-covered.
And HAH @ what I thought about Robin previously.
Oh no kjetill... what are you planning...
Gunhild is such a wonderful person. I never ever want to see her sad. But I do, over and over. Sigh.
On a different note, I do enjoy how Ivar’s side is developing. He has been humbled some. With someone crazier and more fearsome than he, he can’t quite act like the spoiled brat he’s always been. Might create the bigger monster though, in the end.
Good advice to wait until they’re men, but some women don’t realise that 1) even as men many aren’t much more mature than when they were boys 2)... still, nope.
And fade to Mr. Groff in the end-scene, wonderful example for that.
Fade to Jean telling her ex husband (after the “I want to be a better father”) - “to what children” and here she goes to stumble through a scene of someone growing up (too quickly).
Ah this episode was a bit of a train wreck.
And I really hope Aimee gets help soon and Jackson doesn’t mess up.
And interesting to see that asshat-neighbour actually has some good sides about him too.
People seem to be forgetting how much pressure has been building up in Otis and how a scene setting like we have in this episode is your typical stage to have it all burst out... In the worst possible ways too.
Heck, most characters this season have been dealing with some sort of pressure. Forget about light-hearted ness. This is getting dark.
Glad I was right about the wall.
Liked Vera’s speech. It’s true. We could solve poverty, starvation, all of that. All the billionaires could fix it. The huge conglomerates. The world leading industries. They just choose not to. Because what would a world be where everyone has equal opportunities – not profitable.
The never more was a nice touch.
And then him quoting the raven I’ve been hoping for this. The rare and radiant maiden whom the angels call lenore!
While the show in itself wasn’t something I would give max rating, this last episode had a bunch of important things to say, so important in fact that alone deserves a 10/10 in my book.
Vera N.
I got goosebumps when they started talking about the music video. This is so f:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol: up. What the hell. I never had a big opinion about him other than he is a talented artist and a very smart person, but this is insane. He needs help, but these girls need it more. And he’s just one of many. This is so sickening. I’m impressed beyond words how these women managed to stand up in the end and come forward.
“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”
Tony has grown so much. I love how kind he has become. He was such a c:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol: the first season. Now, he still won’t take any bullshit and dishes back out what he gets, but he’s also kind.
This conversation about how Lisa is irreplaceable but him making peace with it… was so important.
This episode hit so hard.
First Connell’s session. I too am the weird one who barely ever clicks with everyone… and loses the few they clicked with. Just a lost soul, like Connell. At least his Marianne is still of this world… I hope they do something about it. Otherwise it would be barely bearable. Watching, in the hopes that a fictional me will have a better ending.
And then his conversation with Marianne, and her getting so furious about people commenting their mourning on Rob’s wall and how people talked about him as if he were a different person. That happened to me too, twice. It also made me angry. What are you talking about, honouring their memory? You’re not even talking about who they were!
Oh no I don’t trust the Camille thing. I don’t believe one second it was meant to end in “if I can’t have him, no one can”
A strong, emotional episode!
I love how this show takes things at a natural pace. Not like “oh here’s my old flame, let’s kindle it”, but this feeling of being somewhat misplaced, of having done something wrong, of being stuck, and unforgiven… growing up. It taking months to regain each other’s trust. I’ve really loved that.
That was some strong monologue there in the beginning. Such a heavy episode. Still weighing down on me now.
Omg did that really just happen... :scream:
Not like we already saw it from the beginning, but it could have been some sort of dream-episode. Could. Glad mystery-man suddenly showing face (to Syd anyway, not us), but I hope she realised that the way he's been approaching her was a little dubious to say the least. And he has to wait before casualties happen before he decides she's worth showing up to? Yikes.
Excited for season 2, this one went over way too fast. 20 minutes per episode is just like one little brew, haha.
I love how I didn’t know much about this show before I started watching it. It’s fucking brutal, but with the brutality of a corporate, all too real world, and what “superheroes” probably would be like, if there were any.
... super heroes in the USA at the very least.
Somewhat confused by how there was nothing between the scene of Floki and Aestheltan and then Ragnar and Aestheltan on the mountain. No moment of recognition what had happened, confrontation or other. Just seems like a whole scene was cut out there.
For years we’ve followed the Byrdes through this, being on their side hoping they’ll make it. In the last few minutes we’re being reminded that what they’re doing is wrong. We’ve been reminded of it here and there, but never so … loudly. At least suddenly I was reminded that I’d also be the person fighting for “what’s right”, who’d say “you don’t get to win”, in the end.
Well, despite that, I was invested, so I wanted them to win. Despite all the bodies in their wake.
And holy moly, the kids really got invested too. Hurray for the Byrdes. What a show.
I really hope Elsbeth is wrong… but she hasn’t been. And they’re both old ladies, it could happen anytime :cry:
I like how the show isn’t in your face about things. Like how much time has passed? We don’t know. We can guess a few months until he got into college. And how much time until he comes back? Who knows. At first we don’t even know whether he quit and is now working at a gas station or whether it’s just a vacation job.
And like Connell were just waiting for Marianne behind every corner.
The subtle transition to how she’s living was lovely. She really needed to get out of an environment where she was used to being the weirdo and ugly duckling just because someone decided she was, to become who you really want to or can be.
I’ve never wanted a church to burn this badly.
Slow starting in the show and I didn’t always like where it was going and how. But I did like the end. A lot. That was pretty superb.
The most ridiculous bus trip yet.
I would have been so disappointed in Otis if he’d been dishonest. This is great. But I find that at least 90% of the main characters left this episode confused.
Besides all the magic and the lovely fae content, this has been an extremely wholesome show about friendship, relationships in general, and finally, finally a show where it's not adults belittling teens all the time, or teens sulking at the adults, and a myriad of toxic relationships, no, here is a show that has a bunch of amazing personalities, of which the majority have realised that being honest and talking to one another both gets shit done, and gets you out of a bad spot much quicker than anything else.
I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It's not the typical teenage thing you might expect. I enjoyed the writing, although it may seem a little rushed toward the end. I guess they had to jump over some things in order to get the story crammed into just six episodes.
Well done though. Wonderful story and writing. :fairy::female_sign:
Always finding it somewhat funny when we insert Christianity into a Japanese show. Since it's just about 1% or so of the population who actually consider themselves Christian :joy: Yet here we are, but funnier even that it's a Mary-cult, so I guess he's actually just praying to Ameterasu ahaha.
Either way. Adrenaline-pushing episode! I distrusted the person in white from the start though, something about the focus on how he charges his player and just watches everyone, as if he knew what was happening and didn't actually partake in the game. Aka, like the maker of it.
Had a big wtf-moment though when Arisu opens the door the the "safe zone" but doesn't call out to anyone, although he's made it so clear to keep communicating throughout the game before. Now with barely 3 minutes left, he decides to walk into it silently without giving anyone the chance to make it themselves? Uhhh...
Well that's the only thing I didn't like about it. The rest of obscure meanings hopefully will be discovered at some point. And a lady with AC-skills... helloooo.
I love how this is all slowly weaving together.
The new headhunters are... an interesting bunch, too. And with that I mean both the Swedes as well as the demoted lady. And the... fish. :joy:
This must be a sign for really good acting. I really disliked Steve, wanted to punch him every other time I saw him. But Ben, Ben is great.
I really love this side-story with the bird.
And I guess now we know where Steve is. Pretty chilly down in Mexico.
