SPOILERS ahead for non-book readers:
- “It takes courage to live outside the traditional expectations of society” - Is this foreshadowing to Benedict’s story? I had a feeling they might make Benedict’s character gay but it seems maybe we are getting our fairytale in the end? I loved Benedict’s book but I wouldn’t mind a change in the story. I just want to see Benedict in love! Colin may have been my favorite Bridgerton in the books (except in his own book), but Benedict is definitely my favorite in the show!
- Lady Whistledown’s story is worrying me… Are they gonna change her identity? I just feel she is making more enemies and once the reveal is done, it is not gonna go as smoothly as it did in the book
so we're okay with daphne essentially raping simon? ok then .
But she is just GORGEOUS! And what a sweetheart!
He seems like such a nice guy! When he told JVN, "It's just hair, i can grow it back if i want to" I loved that! Yes, change is hard but sometimes people put way too much stock in things like hair. I've given myself some terrible haircuts after breakups and quitting jobs...it sucks, but it grows back, you know.
Also Bobby was the mvp with that restaurant decor!
So hard to understand what they are saying...thank God for closed captioning.
Please give all the awards in the world to Gillian Anderson. What a performance she gifts us on this episode!
While I didn't personally agree with the choice of winner, it was a strong Top 3 and a fun finale.
UK queens are so much more diverse and likeable. None of them feel fake and forced. Just authentic. Excited about new season.
Girl... they really threw it all away right at the finale. Based on overall report card, Bimini takes it. Based on final lip sync, Tayce takes it. Instead we get Lawrence Chaney??? Hell, Ellie arguably should've been third over Lawrence. The "rigga morris" was out of control on this one.
Sometimes I just don't understand the whole point of competing if at the end Ru is going to choose whoever he wants.
Based on the finale runway Bimini was the winner, based on the final lipsync Tayce ate it up and based on the whole competition Bimini shoul've been also the winner! I was so happy to finally see a queen speaking for myself and now i'm just sad, the good thing is that the whole fanbase loves Bimini so as the previous season with Divina she will have great opportunnities to come!
NOOOO BIMINI DESERVED THAT I DONT CARE
RuPaul: Bimini Bon-Boulash, I can't se... there's some actress that you look like and I can't...
Bimini Bon-Boulash: Meryl Streep?
I'm still laughing so hard with that :laughing:
Well not all were laughs this episode, this is the first time I cried over a lipsync, personally I think Lawrence was the least funny so I still don't know how she gets to the top, on the other hand I think A'Whora didn't bomb at all and since they gave "extra points" to other queens they should've give her as well for being first and confident.
Lawrence and A'Whora being pressed by Ellie's decision but if they were in her position I'm sure they will set her up to fail.
I'm just so sad... wether the bottom two would be it should've been a double shantay, sending any of them home this week it just doesn't make sense with my fantasy.
What the hell Ru lmao?! How many chances is Tia gonna get that she already hasn't had????
The way Veronica turns to see A'Whora when Ru say shantay to Tia!
That’s not a finale. That’s a bleeding cliffhanger!! And nothing really happened. Apart from the events that ruined the finale, off course. It wouldn’t be good even for an half s season finale, if there were any on this show.
Disappointed.
polly looks so good in a tie
Bloody hell it should have been Arthur on the ground.
me: oh my god karl is so grown!! i can't believe he's already 10 years old!
me, 2 seconds later: oh my god i can't believe karl's racist...
The "Surprise! I made a pact with the even more powerful enemy of my enemy" thing is starting to get old after 4 season. However, hats off to the part where Tommy goes crazy because he has nothing to do, that's just what I needed to see. And hthat's why it was imposible to believe that he had agreed to give up everything he worked for to stop a war.
The Italian mafia, disintegrating because the English food is disgusting ahahaha. A bit of humour in this intense show.
The Trump was so good! I had just watched a Frontline documentary on him, and the resemblance was absolutely there. I felt that way even before the judges started talking about it but I definitely agree with Visage on it possibly being the best impersonation in the history of the show.
I wasn't a fan of The Vivienne at first but now I can see how talented she is. Before her impersonation of Trump, she had three wigs on the table, willing to go for either of the roles. That's something!
this actually surprised me. at first it's always a little difficult to understand and enjoy a new drag race dynamic, but by the end of the episode i was already enjoying it. the 'new rules' lipsync was great and the runway had a lot more hits than misses. i find it strange that ru and michelle are judging people from a different drag culture.
Campbell actually has a threatening aura now with the cane and the creaking sound of his leg, but it was Polly and the Italians who set the tone and the stakes to a much higher and interesting place than it was in the entirety of season 1.
Boy, am I glad to know that Ekko, the little man, is the boy savior, and not Jayce Talis, who interestingly shaves his underarm.
Honestly, the whole Jinx-being-jealous-of-Caitlyn-for-replacing-her felt quite contrived, and Vi-believing-Powder-is-still-in-there-somewhere-inside-Jinx trite because idk. Maybe I am biased against Powder/Jinx, but aside from some flirting and teasing, I never really got the sense that Caitlyn and Vi had that of a strong or intimate relationship. Ekko hesitating to deal the final blow on Jinx because he still saw Powder in her in spite of his insistence that she's gone felt so well done especially compared to Vi and Jinx's interactions which feel like awkward reunions at best. I really loved the mural, and Ekko and Jinx's fight scene !!!
I like the strain being introduced to Viktor and Jayce's relationship as the latter's priorities slowly shift. It is funny how councilor Mel seems so steadfast and consistent now given how untrustworthy I found her earlier. Also losing my respect for Silco as a villain like why is he putting so much trust in this girl who's waaay too volatile and unstable,,,
7/10
Good episode with a few uninteresting parts. Vi and Jayce are the 2 best characters so far and Jinx keeps on becoming worse for me.
World and atmosphere becomes more interesting as it goes although it reminds me more and more of Bioshok, sadly characters are going backwards. I guess, it's my fault for buying into narrative around Arcane as a promising character study or trauma exploration. Mature at the very least.
I love all those tropes and characters dynamics. The way this series started that was a perfect storm of familiar stepping stones in the plot and character archetypes: the main character, the gang, roguish father figure with dark past. I really liked the escalation and Vi's decision to face the music that led to such tragedy.
But after timeskip Arcane lost it charm. Characters that supposed to become more complex turned into one note - Jinx and Vi. The "Batman" might work eventually, but we will see. Speaking of Batman. Cupcake and Vi should be my favorite thing especially with the hints of romance with that banter... Look, I really love those cliches, alright? And yet I see too many strings. Final nail - Victor's thing ...that's too many familiar beats. At this rate, amnesia mind be on the writer's table.
Everyone was so amazing during the final battle, but Korra's fight with Kuvira and everything else post-explosion were so lame and underwhelming. Also Korra and Kuvira really are nothing alike. I really don't see Korra as a hero at all. Prince Wu's character arc in this one book really showed more development than that of Korra's throughout the whole series.
I wish Asami's character was developed beyond a love interest and powerful ally. I don't know what she's like at all. I really wanted to see more of her and her relationship with her dad.
This episode makes me sad, and it's not because the series has ended.
Maybe I'm the only one with this opinion, but the two winners did not win their respective lip syncs. Monét and Yvie both fucking killed it onstage. Are we crowning winners or are we crowning senior citizens? #riggamorris
I love Ru (or production) obsession with DISCO by the legendary legend Miss Kylie Minogue!
There was no way Shea wasn´t going to make it to the finale.
