Mona has been a terrific addition and single-handedly made the B-plot better than the A in this one. (Although Hank fanboying all over Hemingway wasn't bad, either.)
Funny how people can hate somethig just because it is giving a brand publicity. Like, fuck yeah, apple products are awesome. And fuck yeah, the cast and writing of modern family is awesome too. If you hate something because you don't have it, sucks to be you points tongue
"And just like that, it disappears."
"In his defense the water is really cold." LOL
[8.4/10] A real winner. I am a sucker for bottle episodes, particularly ones that use the opportunity to dig into character and really allow for some creative writing and performances. Despite a few flashbacks and some CGI trickery, this is a mostly-contained half hour that lets the strengths of the performers and the writers’ room shine through.
There’s two great arcs here. The first centers on Janet herself, and the realization that her malfunctions are due to her sublimated feelings for Jason emerging every time she claims to be happy about something involving him and Tahani. It’s not much of a revelation given what we saw last week, but it’s still realized nicely.
The process of Michael troubleshooting Janet leads to all sorts of creative sequences showing off the show’s high concept chops. But I also enjoy the idea that (a.) Janet isn’t even aware of why she has these feelings about Jason and has to come to terms with them in her own, A.I. sort of way, and (b.) that she’s willing to die, again in her own detached way, if it means protecting Jason.
It’s a great showcase for D’Arcy Carden, who plays up Janet’s traditional chipper dialtone demeanor, while also finding room for subtle bits of emotion that show the ways she’s becoming a little more human.
It’s also a great showcase for Ted Danson. Michael comes to terms with the fact (mostly through flashback) that despite everything, he views Janet as a friend. She helped him solve his biggest problems and has been there for him, whether from affection or programmed duty, from the beginning, and he can’t bear to let her go. It’s a nice bit of parallelism in Michael becoming just a little more human as well.
“Janet and Michael” is the type of episode that could provide challenging in the wrong hands, but on The Good Place, it gives the audience a heap of creative comedy and character development without being able to rely on traditional TV storytelling beats or changes in scenery. Kudos to all.
(Plus hey, it's Dennis Feinstein as Janet's new manufactured boyfriend!)
GREY'S hasn't been a consistent show for years now, but when they get it right, they really do it. Best episode of an already great season so far.
Well, that escalated quickly in the last 8-10 minutes.
I thought this episode was very clever! I live away from my family and we communicate this way all the time. The main aspect of this show is that it's a MODERN family and this episode demonstrates this extremely well!
I'm already in love with this. The way it's shot and edited is goddamn amazing.
I wish this season never happened. This is only getting worse and worse.
My stomach hurts from how hard I laughed at Liv's "old lady" voice.
Walter is slowly slipping into his Heisenberg persona in his personal life. It's only a matter of time before he slips a little too much. He needs to go back to being Heisenberg, selling meth, so he can be all badass out there instead of among his family. Taking the ending of the episode into consideration, Walter's whole plan of being done with his other life isn't working out too well. I wonder if those two guys, or at least the boss or leader, whatever you'd call him, realized he's Heisenberg since he told them to stay out of his territory. Or maybe they were just scared.
ok now they killed off another visionary character who only wants to live in peace the fuck is wrong with this show's writers
Jasper is such an asshole! I was patient last season because he was mourning, but now this is too much.
Hell, Monty lost his mother and seems to have gotten over it.
Also, I hate most of the things Clarke does, but attacking her for the list was unfair. If anyone of them has a better plan or thinks they can lead better, go ahead, otherwise stfu
People are changing sides faster than the human eye can see.
It's like an effing "wheel o' betrayal" …
Cristina should have done a guest star appearance...
-1 for forcing Kara/James down my throat for the thousandth time. I could have easily given this episode a perfect ten because I loved seeing Supergirl and The Flash working together to save National City. Plus seeing Silver Banshee AND Livewire working together, I was in heaven. That was until Barry had to start shipping them too. Why can't writers realize that a superhero, especially a FEMALE, can still be a hero without having to have a significant other? I honestly hope Kara's kiss kills him that's how much I hate this pairing. Of course it won't and it'll make Kara realize she loves James even more than ever before. GAG ME WITH A SPOON!
Amy: Writing things down is nerdy? What do you do?
Rosa: Just forget stuff like a cool person.
I don't know what to do... cry for Dr Denise or laugh about Eugene
Rick, Daryl and Michonne weren't at the town to protect people from an attack. But Carol kicks some major ass; so you knew "she got this." She is so bad ass.
Stupid Abbie, bitch and selfish, ready to sacrifice a random girl but when it comes to her daughter, she destroys the hope for all humanity -_-
The ending was fantastic! Really funny to see "Desmond" on the other side of the hatch!
I suppose there will be humans down there??? DeepGrounders?
D’Arcy Carden is already a treasure, but she and Ted Danson together in an almost-bottle episode are just amazing. Danson admitting they were friends turns out to be unexpectedly affecting too. Reminds me of Anya processing unfamiliar emotions in Buffy's "The Body", but obvious far, far less severe.
I hate Jaha with all my heart. How could any of them be so stupid to trust him again? Hope he dies painfully, I'm tired of him thinking he's God. Fuck you idiot.
It wouldnt be a AHS season without Ryan Murphy screwing everything up at the final scene.
Melissa Benoist is just unbelievable. It seems that whatever the writers throw at her, she pulls it off with ease.
This show has definitely improved since the pilot and this episode was great. Right now, Supergirl is probably my favorite superhero TV show, next to The Flash and Agents of SHIELD, mostly because of the characters and some great character dynamics. Kara/Alex, Alex/J'onn and Kara/Cat are all wonderful relationships and there were some nice emotional scenes in this episode for each one of them. Kara's speech at the end of the episode was super touching and beautiful.
The only thing I really dislike about this show is the awkward trainwreck of a relationship between Kara and James. No matter what the writers do to convince me that these two are crazy in love with each other, there's just nothing there. No spark, no chemistry, no romantic tension, no genuine affection. Even their friendship seems forced. Maybe it's because James is the most boring character on the show. He's dull, he has zero personality and the fact that he's being reduced to a love interest doesn't help him at all. Sometimes I think that he could be replaced by a lifeless piece of wood and I honestly wouldn't notice. Every other character brings something to the table. James is just... there.
Hasn't anyone noticed that the Meow Meow Beenz app was used identically for a Black Mirror episode? It's basically the same plot but treated differently
Mostly a character driven season. If you think of it, so was the first season. So maybe all the "boo hoo season 2 wasn't what I wanted from the show" comments. Are from fans who don't get the show.
The season beautifully built up relationships more. Even if Mike and Eleven didn't have much screen time together. When they finally had scenes, they were what fans were waiting for.
As for being slow at times, so was season 1. I think they have about as much build up.
This episode was an ode to female strength. Loved to see Carol and Maggie fighting to get back for the ones them love #girlpower
Yeah, this episode was a big infomercial, but a brilliant one!
