THIS IS THE SHOW'S BEST EPISODE
the season was weak, but this and USS Callister are genuine GEMS, this build up perfectly, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and has such a perfect ending, devastating but somehow relieving.
Now we're talking! I especially liked how everyone around June acknowledges how risky the idea is and how she's fresh out of fucks to give. Hopefully Lawrence won't get cold feet once he realizes the enormity of what she's proposing.
And I'm guessing this will be Serena's last mistake. She went for broke while completely ignoring how spineless Fred is and has always been. Given the choice between having power and having a family, knowing what we know about him, betting on 'family' seems crazy... Then again, Gilead is partially her vision, so I shouldn't put it past her.
It's a nice parallel, two husbands being put on the spot and having to choose between their statuses or their wives and their happiness/well-being.
The next callback that should make an appearance has to be Nick and his campaign, right?
I don't have an issue with lowkey bottle episodes, which this definitely was, but there were such flaws in this general setup. Why would they leave June, a woman who has repeatedly shown herself to be rebellious and against everything Gilead stands for, left unsupervised with ofMatthew and her unborn child? Children are surely the most precious thing to Gilead, so to have no-one in the room with June seemed like a contrivance to allow her to do the things she did this episode.
Also, on a fundamental level, I don't understand how (what looked like) a gunshot injury to ofMatthew's shoulder rendered her brain dead.
This show is definitely on a bit of a messy downward spiral of late, which is a shame. It feels meandering with no overarching narrative direction. It's lucky the production values and cast are so terrific. Hopefully things will turn around for the season's closing episodes.
I can't even begin to put into words here but the prosthetic and makeup division is not only good, it is groundbreaking. The bodies on the later stages of radiation poisoning were absolutely terrifying, it literally gave me chills in the spine, when it shows the firefighter and the wife inside the plastic.
Beautiful ending to an amazing series. Definitely one of the best shows out there.
Is there a word for when you're relieved, happy and a bit sad, all at once?
For me, the best shows are the ones that leave you wanting more, and this will definitely be the case here. The story is finished in a satisfactory way but I also think that the side characters were so entertaining that their stories could have been told as well. At the same time I'm also relieved these stories weren't told since it's hard to keep it balanced in a way that it doesn't start to drag on for too long, meaning that the show gets to fade to black at its peak.
Thanks to everyone involved that made this happen - even Netflix, for listening to reason and not denying us a proper farewell.
Amazing episode and OMG the Tardis is just amazing!! Really love it, can't wait to see what adventures they'll have
Just finished watching this amazing show!
Great to see the new team work together to make things happen.
Good to see Graham connect with his Step Son even though he doesnt want Graham to connect with him.
Can't wait to see if we get to meet those two "racers" again as they obviously wanted to bring the doctor and the others with them
Anyways this was an amazing second episode of Dr Who more than what I expected with this episode and I'm hoping to see more!
P.S: Loving that new Tardis Design.
Jodie whittaker has done an amazing part of the Doctor! Hoping to see more
this show just keeps getting better
Lester Nygaard I curse you ! You're such a coward. Hope it will end bad for you. You're as bad as Lorne Malvo and at least he's funny.
The cowardice is strong in this one
Well I'm never going to be able to look at puddles, shower drains and mirrors the same way again.
The whole political bullshit is totally realistic and I hate it. Venus becoming Eros 2.0 is awesome tho.
lmao i cant believe yall are mad because "john is out of character" or "john would never yell at sherlock" like k thanks for making john's character so insignificant and simple. obviously we havent been watching the same show
that moment when you realise you sought asylum in Nazi Germany
I was on edge THE WHOLEEE EPISODE holy shit, I kept imagining myself in her situation. I guessed the end a little, but in this way her partner got a WAYYY better ending than she did cos he killed himself in his cell before any of this shit could happen to him. Theyre preventing her from even THINKING about killing herself either, which is insane. I could never take part in a show like this, and the main character was AMAZING. Her acting shocked me so hard. She really deserves recognition.
-Hey, what are you in for?
-Everything.
my new favorite episode, hilarious and strangely thought provoking. Great episode.
A highlight of an already stellar season. I loved the matryoshka doll nature of the various world, and Rick meeting his near-equal and mirror image, whom he also created, while being almost totally blind to it was a great tack to take with the story. Morty's bewilderment at Rick failing to see the irony was a good look for him, and the little details of each universe and how the creators had warped them (including the Tiny Scientist's reaction to the news) were great for both humor and heft in the episode. Dark and poignant and funny all at the same time, like the show is at its best, while taking a left turn every time you think you know where the story's going.
Summer's storyline in the car was a neat riff on the Asimov stories of "protect all humans" laws getting out of hand. The way everything escalated until the final twist was great comedic heightening. (The emotional attack in particularly was some amazing black comedy.) Summer's shell-shocked reaction at the end was the icing on the cake.
So, it turns out that the man in the high castle is... well, I won't spoil it for those who have not seen it. But we saw just one guy who lived in a high castle and collected films.
Again, without spoiling, I think the ending was superb. I think the show out-Dicked Philip K. Dick. Dick suffered from schizophrenia, and so his feeling that the world was not real is a constant theme in his books. The changes the TV show made relative to the book actually improved the portrayal of an unreal reality, in my opinion.
For those who were left confused by the ending, consult the I Ching.
Fairly average pilot.. a bit far-fetched. None of the actors speak German or Japanese, which kind of kills the realism (some of the soldiers are supposed to be American Nazi's, which is fair enough).
I might come back to it eventually.
Incredible episode! Can't stop thinking about it all.
I cannot believe this... I actually cried. She was my favorite character
I guess I can never watch Game of Thrones again without hating Aria...
Ugh, another «the Doctor holds a crappy sappy 15 minute speech and all is magically resolved and all issues that had before been raised magically dissipate into thin air» ending. Great, just what the show needed. More plot holes than the episode had frames, too. And don't even get me started on the double Oswin representing peace or some bullshit side-plot and the «President of Earth» thing returning.
Especially disappointing because the first episode of this two-parter, despite all of its flaws, at least seemed somewhat promising. On the bright side, Jenna absolutely nailed playing an «evil» character, and Capaldi made the best out of the mess he was given.
