The friend zone has been taken to a whole new mechanical level.
In a show with so many characters, one of the most emotional deaths was the guy with one word of dialogue. That's why Game of Thrones is so great.
Hey Zach, not every action scene needs slow motion. For fucks sake
Hit like if you taped your laptop's camera (or considered it) after watching this episode lol
I'd bet you anything if Deadpool did the same meta moment, dudebros would praise it.
Great episode, things are moving a nice pace. Wish they stop killing off the Direwovles though , that was hard to watch and especially to listen too.

«I getting jealous of the 80 members that have already "viewed episode 5", 20 of them even had the time "to rate it". These 80 lucky guys had enough time already 'to see it, on average, 1.3 times each" (for a total of 104 plays). Not to say how grateful I'm of 178 guys that "having downloaded it" are paciently waiting for the rest, like me, to catch up... To every and any of the lucky 258, "seeing that you have such an early access to this Series' Episodes" please don't hesitate to share with us, you'll be very welcome.»

Please, stop rating episodes you haven't seen! They have been neither released nor leaked. And you keep doing it again and again, this time with episode 5 with a rating of 79% and the whole Season 2 with a rating of 93%!. Be nice, please!
By the way, If you think you are some how helping the Series by gaming the rating system, Be aware that your "fake ratings", achieve the opposite. You are simply forcing any data scientist to apply a higher margin of error to trakt.tv's data analysis.
If only he would have just killed him instead of trying to get him to confess. That's another character I liked that is now dead in this series.
Kinda confusing how Heart of Archness Part 1-3 are not here, and instead they are marked as Specials.
It's the third time I've seen this episode and I still don't think I have ever seen a more disturbing death scene in my entire life
Ok lets break this down:
Major spoilers ahead.
Peele's new film is a clever, cerebral look at modern day US....A. I thought it was very good. It is such a layered film. I wasn't really a fan of Get Out, I thought that film was hugely overrated. But 'Us' is on another level.
There is alot going on in this movie in the background. So much foreshadowing and symbolism. So many nods to the socio-political landscape of America. The apocalyptic scenario we all face if we don't wake up. (11:11 is the rapture in the bible). Even the score in the baseball match is 11 - 11.
Right from the off we are given some easter eggs. There are are several characters wearing Black Flag t-shirts. Look up Black Flag records, what do you get:

With Scissors being the main motif for violence. As they're a symmetrical tool used to break things apart.
There is also a nod to 'The Lost Boys' in the opening scene as it's set in the mid 1980s on Santa Cruz boardwalk and we're told they're shooting another film there.

Lupita Nyong'o's character wins a Thriller t-shirt early on. Then we see her doppleganger presented in this way, more than a passing resemblance:

The main theme is one of how society has been torn apart in recent times. This manifests itself in the way people that you think are normal, showing behavioural traits / opinion / beliefs you would never expect them to show / hold. Some people describe this as "the rise of the right" and "empowerment". They suddenly have a voice. This is shown in the movie by the tethered suddenly having a voice (literally as Red can now speak). They rise up and challenge.
It's no coincidence then, that the main moment of the movie happens when the central figure looks into a mirror. We need to take look at ourselves sooner rather than later.
The ending (humans linked in a barrier) also has large connotations with 'a wall', we all probably know what Peele was alluding to there.

There is also a very strong link to those tethered underground being the underclass. Eating raw meat. Underground. Peele may be alluding to the poverty gap widening.
There are also a load of nods to popular culture. I loved the beach scene reminiscing Jaws. I loved the car on the road reminiscing the Shining opening sequence, plus the twin girls paying homage to that movie.

The VHS tapes on the shelf at the beginning are a nod to popular culture (the Goonies etc) . And if you think about it - there is also a character in the Goonies that is tethered and can barely speak. I wouldn't be surprised if this is another of Peele's tenuous but clever links.

The music is also used brilliantly, especially towards the end with a stripped down version of 'I got 5 on it 'adding to the tension. A comedic NWA moment hints at Peele saying that popular culture and consumerism is for the privelaged and has effects on us a sit seeps into the public consciousness.
There's also a hint at Peel's Hitchcockian influence with the birds on the beach.

I just enjoyed the intelligence of this film. The thought process gone into it. I wish all horror films were this cerebral.
Us tries to make us look at our shadows and reflect on who we are and whether we have best intentions or are complicit in something that will undo us. Whether we let the tethered prevail as they rise is the question left unanswered by Peele. Hopefully not.
Great film.
Amazing episode!!!! It's like The Walking Dead meets Game of Thrones! Finally something exciting and not lackluster like the rest of this season.
I knew he’d show up but not that version!
YOU SPINELESS, TINY-BALLED, WHINY EXCUSE OF A MAN!
A good final episode, but really hard to take the fight with Ultron seriously. He had all the stones but didn't even really use them? He literally has the power to just stop/reverse time. He's an insanely smart AI, yet somehow he doesn't even think to create some sort of timeloop like Strange has in the past? That's literally just one of the stones, he had all of them! Seems really absurd that this team were able to do anything at all to Ultron, especially considering that the Watcher couldn't even beat him.
As someone (apparently) without any sense of good taste, I found this episode to be highly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. Haters gonna hate.
Deeply disturbing. But an excellent chapter. Makes me wonder what awaits me next chapter.
cant believe viola davis already won another emmy for that ending
Oh, boy.... it happened... they finally met.
Ha! Cersei you're gonna get what you deserved. #SorryNotSorry
Let me resume this episode without any spoilers:
Death.
Death.
Death.
Lots of Deaths.
Death.
BOOBS!
A FUC**** DEATH!!!!
The End.
P.S.: I may have miscounted the deaths or put them in the wrong order, "Death" might have happened before "Death".
This episode is so painful. Very dystopian.
Great a movie, with good buildup, until the climax. This is one of many movies which fail in the exorcism scene. Sad for a movie with up until then more than average score and decent story line.
Played on a big screen and with a decent surround setup the first 80 minutes make for a good evening, only to be let down by what would have been an awesome movie otherwise. A pity.
A difficult movie to watch, makes me scared of ever having kids.

Did I forget anyone?
I really, really love deep and emotional friendships, especially when two people are even so comfortable and trusting around each other that they'll cuddle and hold each other (platonically). So when I saw the scenes with Bonnie and Frank I was so happy at first because they seemed to have such a strong bond and it was adorable to watch them cuddle and support each other.
But of course it turned into something sexual. And I'm so, so, so goddamn tired of it. This show turns nearly every friendship into something weird and sometimes it's even completely out of character and out of the blue (cough Laurel and Wes cough). And it just adds even more unnecessary and forced relationship drama.
TL;DR Please keep some friendships alive! Friendships are good! Not everything needs to be sexual!
SHIT!!! SHIT!!! SHIT!!!
Wes?? Really?? We saw him alive!! ALL THE FREAKING TIME!!
They play with our minds!!
And he was already dead??
Who killed Wes then??
Man.... Now we have to wait till January 19.
