Although Ray Donovan has been one of my favourite shows in recent years I have to say this episode was stong. Not only did he say the simple 'sorry' that Mick was looking for all these years, he is now on a quest to save his most precious daughter. And when he said 'I will kill everyone in your family and I will keep coming back for them' we already knew that he wasn't kidding around... The next two episodes will be carnage. All of the Donovan forces will join to help Bridget.
OMG. this episode made his jizz multiple times. Pablo. Cali. so many moment that would be audience cheers and ampoules if it were to be in big screens!! I think it's time we get Netflix screening in local theater with some subscription model passes. this right here is the future ladies and gentlemen!!
Mr and Mrs Fisk.
Not quite the bang I was hoping for but it's still a great end to the season. My only problem is that it's a very 'Marvel' type ending, in how the villain is defeated and the heroes have a happy ending, but have more trouble to come with a predictable ending that reveals a new villain for next season...and also, I'm disappointed Fisk didn't die. I thought that was what the whole season was setting up, because of Matt's whole separation from faith. I really thought Matt would kill him, but he's just done the same as he did in season 1. I'm sure all the corruption won't happen again because of his love for Vanessa, but man I'll admit I'm disappointed he wasn't killed.
Anyway, as you can see from the rating, I still really enjoyed this episode. Dex finally learning that Fisk has been abusing his emotions and manipulating him was a highlight for me, as well as the the brutal fight scene at the wedding. Other things I loved about this episode was how it gave Father Lantom the send-off he deserved, and the moment the title of the episode refers to: when they decide to start the law firm again, but with Karen as one of their attorneys.
If you compared the dark and depressing premiere to this feel-good finale, you would think it was two completely different shows, but it was still very enjoyable.

THE EMOTIONS! ALL MIGHT! UNITED STATES SMASH! ONE FOR ALL! WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE!!!
So it went just like the book. I loved it! Be sure to watch after credits, it has two scenes, Amma killing the girls, and the new friend who got very fond of Camille, and her as the woman in white in the park, that they don't explain, but amma was dressed as Artemis in the book cuz she been rehearsing a play in school. And she kills because as her mother she and her sister she is crazy and is obsessed with attention and been taken care of, and hated the idea of her mother being friends with the two girls. It explains why se run away when everybody stops paying attention in her at the play because of the fight that was going on. She made the hole town look for her. They don't literally explain that but is all there. Oh man, they respected the book and i loved it!!
I'm just gonna go ahead and rate this a 10 for that amazing opening scene. :)
Halloween episodes have always been extra fun in this show, but this one took the cake. Faster paced than the previous Halloween episodes, such a roller-coaster of an episode! And Jake focusing on Amy like that, instead of the yearly competition, was utterly adorable!

This is possibly the lamest crossover ever. There was so little I'm not even sure why they advertised it.
You call this a cross over it was only a god dam scene !!!!!
This show is something truly special.
After watching last week's episode, I thought Amy was written off and we would no longer see her again (seeing as she had not appeared in this season so far, it felt a bit like they were dealing with a loose end). However, she did "return" as we were treated to what other versions of David would be like, had he made different choices at certain points in his life.
This episode was quite a ride. It starts in a confusing note, taking you completely off the usual happenings of the show, but you are relatively quick to find out where you are once you get a little more information. In between David's various lives, they very subtly added events from our own David's life, I guess to show us that these were all possibilities... but then we get a "season 1 recap" and see the final moments of the previous episode again, reminding us that this is our reality.
This episode needs to be watched again to get every detail properly, but I gather that regardless of how terrible another life could be for David (from getting killed to becoming a rich prick), anything beats a reality where his sister is gone, which is incredibly sad and beautifully done.
Between this episode and the one focused on Syd's life, what a glorious show. (The Syd one is probably my favourite of all)
The phone conversation between Elizabeth and Henry was so sad. She barely knows him. At this point I can't see a happy ending (whatever that is) for the Jennings.
Man, Professor Bitch is a traitor!
"- Well, we'll need some stopping power. Too much?
- Not unless you're going grocery shopping in Texas."
What an ending! They seriously need to stop arresting Jessica. It seems that she ends up in handcuffs every damn season. It's becoming a weird tradition.
I love that even in the middle of a blazing hot summer, Jessica still wears heavy boots and her leather jacket everywhere. Hey, I get it. She needs to maintain that dark aesthetic. I just think it's super funny.
Vido is such a cute kid, and I enjoy his dynamic with Jessica so much. I'm pretty meh about Oscar for now. We'll see what they do with his character.
Jeri's storyline is breaking my heart. And giving me major anxiety because I can imagine doing exactly the same if I were in her situation.
Can Pryce just fuck off already? I despise the guy.
This show is filled with heavy themes and storylines, but Jessica's fear of becoming the monster that this other lady is hit me especially hard. I was almost in tears when she kept saying "That's not me". That's what Oscar got wrong about her: she's not a misanthrope. She may not have the patience to deal with other people's bullshit, and she may not be a particularly nice person, but she wants to protect people. That's what led to her brief stint as a superhero. And after all the shit she's been through, her first instinct is still to save others. I just have a lot of feelings about Jessica Jones, okay? She deserves the world.
I have to say, mad props to the writers for never dancing around what Kilgrave did to Jess and calling it what it was: rape. Remember, kids, sex without explicit consent is always rape. It shouldn't even need to be said in goddamn 2018, but looking at what's happening in the world and everything that went down in Hollywood in the last few months, some people just still don't get it.

Nick's backstory. Pffff, who cares ? Worse character of the show and the actor's totally bland.
The scene with the commanders planning was a nice insight though.
Supriiiiiise. The religious men ruling class kept whores. How crazy is that ?
Moira's still alive. Not really surprising, but did not expect her there. Only interesting event of the episode.

Aunt Lydia: Remember your scripture, blessed the meek.
Offred: And blessed are those who suffer for the cause of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. I remember.
I did not like Hell or High Water or Sicario that much but this is a winner. I´d go even as far as saying it was one of the best in 2017. It is good to know that those kind of movie are still made and by that I mean original script, real life actors and real locations.
Very nice ending. But i will miss Queen Joan. She really grew on me these last few episodes
When your ex is a copy of Andrew so you relate to this episode on a deeper emotional level #imsafenow
I have to say that personally, I like Will Yun Lee's performance as Takeshi Kovacs a lot more.
Joel Kinnaman does a decent job, but he's not that engaging for me.
Say what you will about the first Saint movie, it has suspense and kept you guessing the whole time. The Saint was invisible, was a mystery and was always one step ahead. This new Saint however, was a glorified 007 type figure. No mystery, bland disguises, everyone knew who he was, and the whole movie was boringly predictable. Too bad, this could have been great, but wasn't even good.

'Let's just fuck off somewhere.'
I need that spin-off right fucking now!
I honestly find this painfully mediocre and shallow. Time waster and an indifferent one. Some good performances sure but deep as a napkin.
The first four episodes of this season of Agents of SHIELD have been a bit on the boring side, outside of the Fitz reveal in the last episode. This episode that takes place mostly in the current time was much more engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed seeing the return of Lance Hunter (though, it is sad that Bobbi didn't make a comeback also).
I am a bit saddened to see that the next episode returns us to the future where things are bleak, dark and boring. This episode marks a high point for this season.
And hey, Marvel and ABC Studios, give Nick Blood's Lance Hunter his own show already. He has proven to be one of the most entertaining characters in Agents of SHIELD and things haven't been the same without him.
This was......... weirdly written.......... Somehow the characters you have never seen before get better emotional scenes than the ones you have. Holdo, who?
Not sure about this movie. I‘m a die hard, hardcore Star Wars fan, but something about this feels off. It may be true that this was better than TFA and R1, but I know for sure that I was a lot happier after those movies. Rey did not get proper training from Luke even though that was the whole reason why she went there and that was what we were hoping it would happen. It doesn’t. At least not anything that comes close to what Luke went through on Dagobah. Also ... Luke dies from exhaustion. Wtf. I loved the reveal after the big fight that was genius. But then he dies from exhaustion? C'mon now.
Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.
