For the love if shit, people. Without the first 3 episodes we wouldn't have this episode. Without the first 3 episodes this one wouldn't be as impactful. It's storytelling and all part of a larger whole. Stop saying, "finally we're getting somewhere," or "this is what the show should have been from the start." Its a journey. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Holy shit.
As someone who's been a major fan of many TV shows for years and years, and someone who only got into Lost a few months ago: Lost is the greatest thing to ever have been televised. Seriously. Nothing has ever been so immersive, atmospheric and ambitious as this show. It had me gripped from start to finish, and I was genuinely satisfied by the ending (it's incredibly misunderstood). There has never been a TV series as big as Lost, and there may never be again.
One of the best episodes of the series. The ending is breathtaking.
Thumbs up if you said "What the fuck..." to your TV before the opening credits.
When you're sitting in front of your TV, rolling eyes, yelling at the screen "Come on, just die already!", then there is something fundamentally wrong with the pacing and presentation of an episode.
The day that Ben Affleck stops being Batman is the day that Batman comes back to become the best superhero films of all. This guy with 0 acting skills is destroying it. Too many awesome films before him to let it pass.
This show turned into shit...and yet, I smile.
Nancy and Jonathan do not have chemistry. It’s exhausting that I have to suffer through this forced romance.
Eleven suggesting she can trick or treat hidden in a ghost costume was a nice nod to E.T.
The whole Neegan thing is just not believable, and this episode made that more clear. The amount of people that would view him with pure hatred would be off the charts, and unlike other fictional bad guys who act like this, he keeps no security around him 95% of the time. The guy would have been dead 1000 times over in a faithfully realized TWD universe. Hell, I've hardly got off my couch for the last 7 years and I could have killed him at least 20 times in this episode alone, not even counting the obviously missed opportunity by a battle hardened and hate filled teen in the early minutes. Also the Neegan performance was even more one-note-wondery than usual tonight. This show is really losing me now, I'm sad to say.
OK so the second act is being enjoyably batshit from the off.
Also, to the other commentors, kindly fuck off with your homophobia and idiotic "woke trash" dismissal - honestly don't see what was so 'woke' about this episode.
Besides, a decade in, you should know what you're getting with this show.
I wish they'd stop babying Carol and unleash crazy Carol already!
tessa thompson come collect your emmy

Who is writing this crap? It's absolute hot garbage.
For example the garbage truck attack on the savior compound... Who were the snipers covering Daryl from? How were the walkers supposed to get in with the garbage truck still in the hole? Why was it gone from the hole when they are seen entering?
Or, when Rick had the garbage patch kids' leader. There was no threat there, the zombie was decapitated and Rick had no weapon on her. Why wouldn't one of the 20 people surrounding him with guns just kill him?
"i trust you with my life but i dont trust you with my heart" im not crying i just have a giant tree stuck in my eye....
I can only think of a handful of TV shows that have BLOWN ME AWAY like this every damn week.
Definitely the best TV show to premiere this year so far, and i'm so glad it was already renewed for a Season 2! I still feel like people are sleeping on Pose. Wake the hell up everybody! Great themes, great dialogues and show-stopping acting.
Give Dominique Jackson and MJ Rodriguez all the Emmys they deserve.
Nicole Kidman is so unbelievably good in this show.
you know what? i don't even expect much anymore. conveniently found roller skates that surprisingly fit you? sure why the hell not. enid having a never-ending stock of balloons? ofc. she's also besties with maggie because they talked out of the blue in the previous season and it has nothing to do with her needing to be connected to other characters once they separate her from carl? yep. gregory intended to sell out maggie and sasha, yet haven't told "trevor" what was in the closet when they were in his office? that's totally believable, i can see him saying "could be women, could be booze. i guess we'll find out!" oh and a bunch of zombies was killed while weird classical music was playing in the bg because the show-runners remembered this is a zombie show. coolio.
Iain De Caestecker deserves all the awards.
That was a lot of fun. I'm glad they gave Tara an episode. I've always been a fan.
The directing on this episode was really below average, typified by those bookend close up shots which were equal parts pretentious and atrocious. Also, the lack of sense of place, what the objectives were, why people were splitting/meeting up, bad fight scenes, Rick & Daryl wandering around the Saviors' main lair with almost no one there to stop them, and...actually just everything. Worst of all we're no further advanced than last week, ok, they've taken 1 (count 'em) one outpost.
In fact, this week's episode of Z Nation had a better sense of place, equal movement of the plot, and less confusing machinations than this one and the protagonists in that show spent the whole episode in weird teleporting boxes being zapped unconscious with sound by an unknown entity who was using them to clear out a zombie infested underground factory complex after being honey-potted by a driver-less ghost-truck.
So fun & such a solid performance from the cast! Hoping there is a season 2.
i love that all that talk about bringing complex female characters to the forefront of the entertainment industry was not empty. conceptually, sharp objects revolves around violence, but it is not imposed on women by men as in big little lies or by a female assassin without considering the gender of her victims as in killing eve. it is imposed on women by women. it is this unique portrayal of generational female violence, both narratively and cinematographically, that makes the show so captivating. amy adams and patricia clarkson are simply magnificent. i love every shot. it's such a pity that we have to wait an entire week for a new episode.
Someone on the writing team needs to take a page out of Telltale's book by making a season as gripping and tense as the video game series. They can write a good episode for sure but too many stale episodes really made the whole season fall flat.
literally the most boring storyline they ever did on b99. i couldnt care less about baby storylines in any show. why do writers think we need them.
jake's hair looks so good.... thanks nbc
eleanor was wonderfully bisexual on this episode and i sign in for her to be even more on subsequent ones. thank you
also, very interesting episode, solved like a normal sitcom/drama but with the typical other-wordly the good place spin, this show really is heading somewhere fantastic and unique
Nothing... Literally nothing of any importance happened this episode.
Poussey deserved better. Her death was unnecessarily violent. F*ck u writers.
