This episode was fucking great! Just perfect.
BISEXUAL CLARKE GRIFFIN IS CANON
Something like this comment was originally a reply to @Pedro, but I thought I'd put it here.
This show starts a little slow. It does that thing where the first few episodes are your typical boring cop procedural to show the network they know how to paint by numbers. Then it picks up.
It starts actually exploring the morals of mass surveillance, and (minor spoilers) it turns out the Machine is an AI, and they deal with all the interesting ramifications of living in a world secretly run by a benevolent(?) AI. One of the nice aspects of this show is the only fictional element of the Machine is software. Makes for a very grounded science fiction.
The characters start to deal with total corruption of the police system and attempt to take it down, meanwhile learning and redeeming themselves from their dubious past.
They also deal with taking down organised crime, and what to do when someone tries to consolidate power within the families, even though the new boss is less violent.
They get caught up in vast government conspiracies waging massive secret intelligence wars, and must stop innocent people from getting killed while remaining hidden from powerful people.
Heartbreak, romance, homoerotic sexual tension, SciFi, shooting people, explosions!
They stop making another cop show and start making some really compelling television.
Malcolm: And no offense none of you are particularly good actors.
Tell me that was not funny :-P
With every episode I wonder "how in the world can they top that?" And yet with each new episode, I am blown away by how amazing it is. There are no low points in this show. Each episode builds beautifully off of the previous one.
Series Guide says I've watched over 50 days of TV shows and yet this is still my favorite. It's such a geniusly made show.
"Well, well if it isn't Raylan Givens." You'll hear this about 10,000 times more.
Not disapointed at all. The best season finale they could have done : they've offered a conclusion to all of this season's overarching plots while still managing to introduce new ones I can't wait to see on screen this fall. Liv and Major's relationship is going somewhere, at last !
holy.......................... this was me for 60 minutes: "wtf? WTF!"
Enjoyed this one. Not epic, but better then the imdb 6.1 imho.
I'm avoiding subways and will not set foot in Paris for a while though.
Found footage can be better than this. Seems un-assumed here as they still want to use classic scenery effects. Just looks a really common hollywood movie forced into the found footage genre to me.
The characters were such smug, hip twonks. I loved watching them mess their trousers and die
This movie honestly changed my swimming habits at the beach. Good flick.
better and better, is in my top 3 the best tv show!
Andre Braugher and Robert Sean Leonard in one episode. AWESOME.
also: why is everyone so mean to Carisi? He sucked in the beginning but he's come a long way. I think hazing time is over now, guys.
"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go." lol, Peggy kills me.
Absolutely amazing series. People who have not latched on to this yet are missing out.
Awesome plot twist! Didn't expect that at all from Dobbs! Season 4 sure is going to be very interesting! This series only gets better every next season
I think I'm laughing out of shock. They really botched the ending!!
The only good thing about this show is that we're one week closer to The Walking Dead after each episode.
Crane was one of the best characters in a show in a long time. Also the chemistry between the lead characters was very good and so was the main plot of the 1st 2 seasons.. after that it all goes downhill.
Normally it doesn't "hurt" to give up shows, but this one did... im going to miss good old Crane . I dont have any hopes for this show to go back to its original form.
Just shows the pathetic bigotry of people when you guys rate this poorly having never seen it (it hasn't even aired yet!) just because it's about the gay rights movement. That is just sad & pathetic. Grow up.
Mostly the recommendation engine on this site is just laughable. But, likening this great concert to "Glee 3D" that's just insulting.
"-Uh.. i like jizz
-Ah shit. He ain't what he used to be."
Goodbye Veep, one of the greatest comedies of the decade, if not the best.
That was quite an ending, one of the best comedies to ever grace television, will miss it.....
If I had an alter ego who smiles creepily at me I’d shit my pants.
Masterfully terrifying. Not just a bunch of jump scares either. The entire atmosphere of this film truly makes your skin crawl.
all of you saying this season is boring you're clearly not watching the same show I am? learn to have some fun.
Series Review
I'm tired.
Maybe I'm too critical, or perhaps I should give up on the MCU? The MCU fatigue is real this time, and it's getting old. No, this series isn't bad, and neither was WandaVision. But with each new MCU release, the more I'm pushed to the brink. I used to love this franchise, can you believe it? I loved all the movies, and I gave my money to the box office as reluctantly as any other MCU stan. Now, I'm tired. I'm tired of the same old stories, with their important messages, but poor storytelling.
Falcon begins by giving up the shield to the Smithsonian (museum), unknowingly handing the Captain America mantle to Walker. After Walker snaps, he reconsiders his decision. So, he talks to Isaiah Bradley (a black Super Soldier who the government rejected as Captain America), who tells him he won't make it, and becomes Captain America soon after. Was there any revelation here? What did Sam learn? He just went through a training montage, and then he was ready. What a relatable challenge that he went through that I can apply to real life! I just gotta ignore the haters, ya'll!
In some of these movies, the "character arcs" go like this: I want to do this, I face opposition, the opposition turns out to be wrong because..., I'm right, and I win. No one learns anything; all it says is that you're always right, and people who tell you otherwise are wrong. That's an empowering message, but has Marvel's writers stopped to consider that their audience might be the villains instead of the heroes; what if they're the opposition, and they're just wrong, instead of the heroes who are always right?
But this show does a lot I admire; a darker, grittier tone, better action (than some recent stuff), important themes and attempts at character arcs/development. Whew, I'm still tired, though.

it's not that bad if you don't know the source material, but kate bishop is my favorite comic character and fraction's hawkeye is incredible and compared to that, this falls short
