I'll admit Maggy's story was kinda sad.
"I really love this show". I'm sitting here dying of laughter. These guys always get me. What a great episode!
"I love broccoli". Nate, 2017. profound.
"Quiet! The marshmallows are talking", rotflmao. I was in tears for ten minutes. He randomly eating a cheeto was something for the books. The writers are on drugs. I have a feeling Nick Zano was adlibing his lines. He had me dying. He tried to touch Sara's face and then said "Cobra!" Sometimes I can't believe this show is even real.
Ray's ridiculous bad guy outfit just makes me love him even more. "Don't be fooled by our disguises". He's an absolute cinnamon roll. He's gained the status. "I'm following her posterior from a respectable distance". Gotta love him.
Welcome to Legends, Zari! I was expecting her to get powers as the story progressed but I've got to say I'm cool with it.
Gideon is savage "What a bitch!" and "Bollocks!" feelt so right in a weird way. I love that even Gideon hates her. You know someone is bad and annoying when even Gideon swears.
"Prison Break. I'm in". Mick freaking Rory. So meta. God bless the writers of this awesome show.
I loved Kuasa. "I'd just kill you, but I'll be killing myself". So, is she Mari's sister? And she time travels with a rock?
Sara is such a badass. That scene were the ships were about to collide was so good. I'm down for Gary appearing every single time after he fucks time up and Agent Sharpe coming to blame the Legends. Gary is amazing. He's either going to be part of the team or backstabbing them. There's no in between. But I really love his character. He's also a fuck-up. He fits in with the Legends. That bar fight. What would it be of this show without a bar fight?
"You'll float too, Ray". That scene was freaky. I was expecting Pennywise to come out. Ray is so lighthearted. "Hi! What's your name? Mine is Ray Palmer". What's up with kids talking to monsters in the sewers? I want a whole story about Ray "the fuck up" Palmer. He's adorable in every era, even as a kid.
Rory's prison break scene was great!!
Absolutely great episode, action, confrontation, background politics and the ongoing "runtime error", all at just the right composition.
ET gets a remake! What a great episode! Definitely one of the best ones I've seen! So much cuteness in just 42 minutes and now I have alien goo in my eyes!
"Isn't that adorable!" Ray "cinnamon roll" Palmer is just simply adorable. The more I know about his childhood the more I fall in love with his character. Gumball was simply lovely! That cute little baby dominator! That head-bobbing while watching Singing in the Rain. Gold. I was looking forward for some insight into Ray's childhood and backstory and here it is.
It was surprisingly emotional. I connect with little Ray in every way possible. His words really pierced my heart. Props for the actor who plays young Ray. He made me laugh, he made me cry and he definitely won my heart.
Zari's character development was perfect. She was great. She being supportive of little Ray was cool. She's so much fun and her dynamic with the team was great as well. She's a great addition to the team.
I really loved Stein's interactions with Jax and calling him family, especially know that we know Victor Garber is leaving the show. And he named his grandson Ronnie! Cute.
I love the writers of this show and the big nerds they are. So many E.T. references. This touched my heart. So many emotions. I loved the flying bicycle scene. That was breathtaking.
MiB agents randomly start singing. This is the show! It was a WTF scene but boy, did I enjoy it! I lost it the minute they said "good morning". This just proves that the show can do whatever they want even if that doesn't make any sense. They don't hold anything.
The Mommynator scenes with Nate were just golden. "I'm gonna brush my teeth forever", lol. Nate was great. His Biff Tannen outfit while waxing the DeLorean was perfect. I love BTTF and I hope they do an episode inspired on it.
That scenes with all of them suited-up was awesome. Zari's suit is amazing. I love that it's loosely based on Isis. I loved Rory robbing candy from those bullies. This show is just awesome!
Man, I already love Zari. The way she figured out the whole team at the beginning was hilarious and 100% accurate (also, Mick was so pleased with himself, I love one (1) man). But while she acts all sarcastic and whatnot most of the time, deep down she's a total softie. Her interactions with little Ray (that British accent!) were precious. I wonder if she's going to be wearing that white costume into battle from now on, or if it was just for Halloween purposes. Either way, it looked cool.
The little Dominator was absolutely stinking cute and I want one. If only there was any way to stop it from growing up because the Mominator was UGLY. The way she cuddled her kid was sweet though.
The federal agents singing with both Rays and Gumball bobbing their heads in sync was so freaking adorable and one of the best moments of the episode.
All the E.T references were awesome. Especially the shot of little Ray riding his bike in the sky with a full moon in the background. Iconic.
Welcome to the world, baby Ronnie (I'm not crying, you're crying)! It's going to be a wild ride.
Jax, whatever you're doing, stop it right now. No one's breaking up Firestorm, not on my watch. I love my team and I want it to stay the way it is.
Young Ray is soooo precious!
Barry using his speed to do research. Barry acting like a friend to Cisco and his girl. Barry not brooding and having the weight of the world on his shoulders. Barry legitimately caring about his team and calling them family. Yep, I'm here for this. This is The Flash that I fell in love with and want to see. Good episode.
Which proves, yet again, take Westallen out of focus, Barry and the show shine.
So, is Westworld the official Prequel to Altered Carbon now?
HAPPY 100TH EPISODE, EVERYONE!
I just want to say this: I'm so happy, so proud and so, so grateful. I've been in love with this show since I first started watching it 3.5 years ago. The fact that we're here today celebrating this wonderful milestone is a privilege, one that I wasn't sure we'd get this time last year. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has defied the odds time and time again. There has been so much working against it: backlash from hardcore Marvel fans way back when it started; ratings getting lower year after year; ABC itself not giving a shit about it, dumping it first in their worst slot at 10 PM on Tuesdays, and then moving it to Fridays, where most shows go to die; finally, having a completely undeserved reputation of the bastard child of the MCU. Despite all of that, it's still going strong, reaching new creative heights with every season, giving us awesome content, and keeping us on the edge of our seats. Maybe it never quite became the smash hit that Marvel surely expected it to be, but all of us who have stuck with it through thick and thin know just how special it is. "We have a small but active fanbase", indeed.
This episode was beautiful. I don't even know where to start. I think I'll just make a list of everything that stood out to me, it'll help me organize my thoughts a little:
Daisy and Coulson's relationship is absolutely incredible. I started crying as soon as Daisy teared up and I didn't really stop until the end of the episode. Chloe Bennet broke my heart. She's come such a long way since the pilot and grown so much as an actress.
Fake Deathlok trying to convince Phil that it's all in his head gave me major anxiety, mostly because for one horrifying second I imagined them ending the show like this. Just "psych! It was a fantasy all along!". They wouldn't do that, right? RIGHT???
Real Deathlok showed up! Yet another old character to have come back this season!
I saw a theory circulating around Tumblr that Deke is a descendant of FitzSimmons. I was sceptical. But guess what, it's true! Which means there are some cute, genius FitzSimmons babies coming! It does raise some questions, though. They'll have to send Deke back to the future eventually, right? Will he even exist if the team saves the world, or will he get erased? As usual with the time traveling stuff, my head hurts.
Goddamn. FitzSimmons. Wedding. This was where I went from low-key crying to just straight-up bawling. They couldn't have chosen anything better to celebrate the 100th episode with. It was perfect. The setting, Coulson marrying them, their vows... Jemma looked stunning, Fitz looked so handsome (shame about that kilt though, I think they should've gone for it), Elizabeth and Iain's acting was out of this world, as usual. I'm so happy for those two nerds.
What an emotional rollercoaster. I need to lie down for a bit. Huge, huge congratulations to everyone involved in the show, the whole cast and crew. I hope they know that they've created something extraordinary. And I hope that cake they had in celebration of the 100th episode was delicious.
Forget about Cpt. Marvel. Fury should be contacting Talbot not her AHAHA
I have a better title for this episode: "Canaries and handshakes".
It's so good to have the Legends back! It's also great to see that they haven't changed in the slightest. It's go good to see that the writers are still smoking the same weed they used to to give us compelling, action-packed, and emotive episodes like this one.
Never change, you beautiful morons! Never change!
So, this episode delivered a murderous unicorn in Woodstock, Nate and Mick's own buddy comedy, Nate's mum's famous sandwiches, Ray making out with a tree, Constantine being the absolute badass, Ava and Sara being extra adorable and in a healthy relationship, Gary's nipple and an unknown demon coming for Constantine. And also, Nate's dad is Biff! Good lord, I've missed this show so damn much.
I love Ray. He's all heart and hasn't got a bad bone in his body. I loved his scene with Zari at the end. So full of heart and heartbreaking. Zari is slowly becoming one of my favourite characters ever. She's all kindness and doesn't give a fuck about anything.
Ray is completely breaking the fourth wall. "It will be good for our ratings" and "we have some dedicated fans" made me laugh out loud. All these me me remember my all time favourite "this is the second worst attack of the clones I've ever seen".
When he said "everyone loves the Supernatural" I couldn't keep myself from bursting out laughing. Petition to have these guys saying they are going out to hunt the supernatural and deciding to wear layers and layers of flannel only. I need a Legends-Supernatural crossover asap.
Gary as an intern Legends is what I wanted. Give us more Gary. He's the absolute best. I'm so protective of him. I get the feeling that I would be him if I were on the show. I'm dying for his evil nipple to come back from hell and to attack the Legends. Thus, we'd go from a fluffy toy (all praise Bebbo) to a possessed nipple. I think it's all in their wheelhouse, though.
I need more Constantine in my life. Matt Ryan is simply perfect, although I don't get the whole I can't join the Legends because everything I touch dies, or worse. THey guy's all alone and is bound to join the Legends, just do it now and stop playing hard to get. Gosh, every time I see Constantine I get angry that they cancelled the show. However, it'd be awesome if they get Chaz and Zed to show up. Since this season is more focused on the Supernatural, they could add Many to the mix as well. But what can I say, a girl can only dream.
The whole unicorn scene was great. And Zari covered in unicorn...vomit? was super adorable. I mean, Ray-Ray? And Nate and Rory....and Axel! Damn, the feels. I loved their "I thought you were dead?" and "I thought you were dead...on the inside!"
Speaking of my new favourite crime buddies. I loved the chemistry between them and Nate being Rory's jimminy cricket telling him to protect the timeline to save Black Sabbath was great.
Nate's dad being Biff from BTTF was amazing. I guess that's why he was wearing Biff's clothes in last season's "Phone Home". Given the meta level of this show, I was expecting Biff to call Nate butthead.
The hippy thingy got me laughing more than I care to admit but that guy carrying that "Speed: $1,00" sign almost made me die of laughter.
That split screen scene was outstanding. I loved how all of them got reunited at the end. Please, keep these coming!
Now, all praise the writers of this show for giving us a healthy relationship. Thank God they escaped that forced CW relationship drama. However, I always expect it to hit when I least expect it.
I love hos Legends is supposed to be a fun show which brings laughter in my life, but that can make me cry the next minute. That scene with Zari and Ray was heartbreaking. You could see the pain in Zari's eyes. It must take great courage and strong will to have the power to change it all and be finally happy but deciding not to do it to save the timeline.
I actually like the idea of a heart eating unicorn but I would have liked more Woodstock less time agency. It was also nice for them to give an old time traveling pro like Biff a job as Nate's dad.
It's time for Constantine to stop playing hard to get. Your show was canceled. You have no job. Time to jump aboard ship.
Well, I didn't plan on sleeping tonight anyway.
I do have to say though, aside from the bathtub-smashing spider traumatizing me for life, I enjoyed this episode very much. I've been reserving my judgement of this season, but after 4 really good - in my opinion, at least - episodes, I can officially say that I already like it more than most of Peter Capaldi's run. I mean, I adored Peter himself, but the writing didn't do him justice most of the time.
I fall more and more in love with Jodie every week. Everything she does is so perfect, from her excited "Tea at Yaz's!", rambling about getting a flat and buying a couch, the whole Ed Sheeran thing, her confused "I don't think so. Are we?" (by the way, I am fully on board the Yaz/Thirteen ship, fight me) to her mourning the dead spider mother (despite my raging arachnophobia, I did tear up during that scene because growing to the point where you can no longer breathe is a horrible fate that no creature deserves). Mandip Gill is definitely a standout among the companions. I really like that Yaz follows the Doctor into danger so unflinchingly, I just hope it doesn't get her killed. And so many people seem to think that Bradley Walsh is a bad actor for some reason, but to me, he nailed the emotional moments in this episode. The fact that he keeps seeing Grace everywhere in their house is such a realistic portrayal of grief and it was done in a lovely way. Tosin Cole is the hyperactive 8-year-old of the group, which I don't really mind. Ryan blasting music through the speakers to get the spiders to the panic room did make me laugh. That's just peak Doctor Who.
I also love that the spiders weren't the villains of the story at all. No, the true enemy was a selfish man and corporate greed, which is so true for so many things in real life that it actually hurts. Keep spilling that tea, Doctor Who.
Team Tardis is officially a thing! The Doctor was so happy, bless her hearts. I can't wait to see what shenanigans these losers get into next.
Overall, this episode maybe wasn't flawless, but that's not really what I expect anyway. If something keeps me entertained, leaves me wanting more and actually gets the intended emotional response from me, I consider it good. During this episode I laughed more than once, I felt excited, I felt sad, I felt angry (seriously, fuck that guy) and I'm already pumped for next week. So as far as I'm concerned, mission accomplished. Now, if all of y'all who are getting this episode below 70% could perhaps stop, that'd be great. This was worlds better than fucking Love and Monsters and you know it.
A nicer ending than the books. The book ending left me with more questions than answers. This ending is more satisfying. Yet still too faithful to the books ending. While it’s a more happy ending there’s still questions in the end that were never answered.
Spoiler warning: For instance. Season 1 teased us season long that the Quagmire parents were the Baudelaire parents. Yet, now that we know they aren’t. The writers wrote them out basically and they are never reunited with their children.
I guess since it’s a coming of age story. About children learning to not need the help from grown-ups and growing up. So just like the books. The Baudelaires and Quagmires aren’t reunited with parents that are teased to be alive.
Wow, those flashback scenes added a whole new dimension to the story.
Apparently Ressler knows Red better than Liz
Dembe keeping Liz's secret makes no sense- there's no incentive for him to keep it from Red much less lie. I guess he's trying to save him the heartbreak? Sheesh. I want Red to find out soon.
I thought they would have a whole series of episodes with Red on death row, not jump to his execution. That was surprising to me.
We saw some of the old Liz here, the person from season one. I wasn't surprised that after all that she didn't end up asking him anything, but I was, of course, a bit disappointed and mildly annoyed. Maybe next episode he'll use his last words to tell her! --But probably not.
Not entirely sure if Lena is going full villain, but if so, they are already doing a much better job than David Benioff and DB Weiss.
It was so emotional at the end that I cried, even though the wigs were hideous
I am so excited for season 6 that I have already forgotten my hate for O, Clarke & Abbie xD
I'm so glad Monty got the best happy ending he could hope for. He deserved it so much. It felt bittersweet but it couldn't have went better - He could live with Harper in peace, have a family and die at an old age :')
This whole scene at the end would've been a perfect series finale. Guess we'll see the humans from that other ship on the new planet, but I hope the next season won't be immediately about starting a war with them. Instead I would like to see new animals or creatures and them building a civilization there. Of course conflicts will be unavoidable (we're still on The CW here), but please don't repeat the same storyline we've had multiple times by now.
And I hope "End Book One" doesn't mean this show will have 10+ seasons because they haven't really been brimming with original ideas lately, so I would rather have an actual ending at some point instead of a never-ending show.
human body can literally withstand so much shit.
as seen in this episode, it's terrific, horrific and shocking to see them willingly accept a fucking radioactive duty which can fuck their life up pretty good but the KFuckingGB won't take international help. what a fucked up world. we need better international relationship across the globe to survive in such catastrophic events.
Humanity must strive for a better world from every small aspect to survive as a species
fucking make the whole world pop a tab of LSD and melt into oneness
I'm running out of superlatives for this show. I continue to marvel at the historical accuracy of the events. I was waiting to see if they would recreate one of the most amazing facts about the accident...the clearing of the roof by the "biorobots". 90 seconds. 90 seconds on the roof to receive a lifetime dose of radiation. And going out on that roof wasn't voluntary. Nice government. Also, the scenes of young Pavel being forced to liquidate starving, deserted family pets was one of the saddest things I've ever watched.
The opening scene features an old woman milking a cow while being told by a soldier to leave her farm for her own safety. She tells him she's not leaving and recalls the history of her life under the iron boot of the communist system. The mention of the horrific Holodomor was shocking to me. It seems that kind of reflection on past evils (other than Hitler's Nazis) is never mentioned.
This series has pulled absolutely no punches showing the oppression and brutality of the Soviet government. I hope that support for such a system, no matter how well intended, never sees the light of day again.
Whoever talks shit about Monty deserves to be hit lbh.
Nice try show! But I'm not buying what you're selling. Murphy's come such a long way. He's moved way past being a selfish, self serving asshole. He cares too much about his friends to betray them like that. Plus, the writers of this show are too good to give him such a lazy regression. Murphy is too smart for you Josephine! He's just buying time.
Every second of this episode was magnificent. I was worried they were gonna drag out the whole not Clarke thing. But I should've known better. This show doesn't let you catch your breath before throwing you into the next thing. And I loved it so much that it was Bellamy who figured it out. They're each other's person, how could he not? #bellarkeforever
Also Jordan being the most sensible made my heart happy. He's the new moral compass. He definitely takes after his dad! It's not okay that the primes are brainwashing people into thinking it's cool to kill someone to hijack their body. Besides, this boy, who grew up really isolated, was the first one to realize something smelled fishy. And everyone else, who should know better than to take things at face value, were super dismissive about his concerns. I love Jordan.
And how amazing was that Octavia/Diyoza heart to heart? Diyoza certainly knows a thing or two about being a violently ruthless leader. And it seems she has struggled with the guilt and consequences of her actions (much as Octavia is doing right now) and come out the other side. It's also pretty clear she sees herslef in Octavia. Maybe she'll turn into a mentor of sorts (kinda like Indra was in previous seasons), and teach her how to accept and move on, so Octavia doesn't self-destruct and can learn to live with herself and the terrible things she's done, just like all the other characters of the show. Plus there was that weird event with the green light and now her hand is all messed up!
I can't wait for next week!
ooooh I like this whole Eve & Villanelle working together vibe.
And Carolyn is COLD. Damn.
Finally after almost 20 years a real competition in town, I stopped watching WWF after they replaced the F with the E, and started watching NWA, TNA(or what ever the fuck they call it these days), ROH, NJPW,And some of the independent stuff,and many of the faces in AEW are familiar faces, I hope they get Jay Briscoe and Dalton Castle to AEW, The first show was really good not perfect because i felt there's some stuff missing, And i never heard JR saying holy shit on I commentary before lol and i been listening to JR's voice for more than 20 years, I am just happy that "Pro Wrestling" is back
