“Science makes us understand how to live longer. Feelings… make us want to.”
(Or not)
I’ve missed this show.
using of the word filler for this episode disgrace to that word.
“I would. Wouldn’t you?” - This was brutal, crazy, insane, amazing! That was TELEVISION. So carefully and intelligently constructed. This episode is a masterclass in everything - writing, directing, and acting.
Laughing at Jimmy’s plane 'proposal.' So perfect and I liked him realizing Kayla’s value!
Deborah moving her parents to Vegas. Unhinged behavior! That is so her.
I cannot wait to see what's in store for us in season 4 as we experience another power shift between Ava and Deborah.
“Christmas is my holiday, she can have 9/11.”
so boring I'm not sure I'm gonna finish this episode! what a mess.
at this point, the show seems to be going nowhere, episode 2 can be summed up thus, a lot happens but nothing happens. can we get to the point already instead of all this running around that achieves nothing?
My favorite character so far is the younger brother cause all he does is mind his business, eat nachos by the pool and watch whales. That’s a good life.
An incredible series, with a simple plot, but full of depth and emotion in every detail. The characters are phenomenal, Hilda in particular stands out. I recommend the series for the richness of the lessons and the notable growth of the characters.
The show returned with an unbelievable episode. It started of a bit slow, but the scene with Deborah and Hannah alone in the room was magnificent. They were friendly to each other, but there was sooooo much more bubbling underneath. Finding good comedy on tv is so hard - I am so happy to have this show return.

What an epic Brandi Carlile drop.
Another great episode. I’m officially fully invested now. Acting is top notch, including a lot of new faces for me. Loving the setting, including learning mukluk life.
The dirty water situation seems to be pushed harder in this episode. Wondering if people are developing psychosis due to water poisoning from the mill.
Interested to see where it goes from here.
“Who’s Mrs. Robinson?”, lol.
One of the most painful episodes of TV I've ever had to watch.
[7.0/10] Feels like we’re limping to the finish. Candidly, maybe I’m just burnt out on the show. Major things seem to happen, like Dick getting smashed to death in the Fortress of Solitude and Rocket sacrificing herself to get Aqualad, Tigress, and Zatanna out of the boom tube, but there’s nothing here that convinced me those deaths will stick, and they come with little fanfare or ceremony. To be charitable, that’s how these things might happen in real life, and I can appreciate it, but we’re also just hitting these various points one after the other so there’s not much time for the audience to react to anything.
I’m increasingly convinced that Young Justice is a show more focused on assembling the pieces of the puzzles than on developing the characters through them. I thought the focus on arcs this season was going to help with that, but with Aqualad and Rocket’s stories, their changes of heart seem to happen mostly by fiat. Likewise, there’s not a ton of character in what’s happening now, with a little intrigue in the arguments between Zod and Zod Jr. over how to deal with the survivors of the House of El, but otherwise not much in the way of character stakes over plot.
And the plot is fine. There’s yet another weightless fight in the Phantom Zone between our heroes and some nameless, practically faceless bad guys. The Justice League reps meeting up with the Legionnaires and Flash helps assemble the team and leads to a couple of brief, but pleasant character moments featuring Phantom girl reuniting with her friends and Superman meeting other survivors of Krypton. The Zods arriving at the Fortress of Solitude is vaguely cool, albeit more from what it means in other works than something established by this show.
Speaking of which, the whole Emerald Empress shtick for Ursa Zod comes completely out of nowhere. I think we’ve seen that eye before, but otherwise, there’s been zero setup for what this means or why it matters or why Ursa would be a good pick for it. It’s just a random power upgrade for no reason.
Oddly, it seems like we’re setting up for a Zod vs. Green Lantern clash at some point, given how so much of the Phantom Zone and Zod’s philosophy is founded on strength of will, which is a key point for the Green Lanterns as well. But they haven't really built to that being a key feature of the battle to come, which, I suppose, won’t really stop the writers if past is prologue.
I’m also still not on board with the Superboy business. I can appreciate the idea that the zone sickness broke him down to his Cadmus programming, but it still feels undermotivated and just odd to this point. As with Brion, a character having their will overridden through science or magic isn’t especially interesting since there’s no agency to it. His fear that he’s killed M’gaan has some juice to it, and I assume she’ll be the key to snapping him out of it, but his whole story has been derailed.
That said, the idea of Zod beaming into Columbus Circle and threatening to have Conner kill Superman on live T.V. is at least a big hook, so I’ll give the episode that. Overall, I keep waiting for this climactic arc to snap into place, and with only one episode to go, it still all feels like a mechanical prelude to the finale rather than a story progressing and building chapter by chapter.
I get what they're going for with Violet and all that.
She's a sentient computer uploaded into the body of a dead girl and now she's trying to discover concepts such as what it is to be a muslim, a woman, and all the other things her body was before she was Violet, and whether she actually wants to be those things.
Problem is that it completely messes with the flow of the show, and isn't what people watch it for. I thought it was neat when they brough it up in the credits scenes, but dedicating half an episode to it? It's dragging the show down.
It just didn't work for me.
I appreciate the approach.
Beautifully shot with an intriguing yet calm style.
I could never connect with the movie at any point, so subsequently I found it overall boring.
Appropriately both wistful and surreal series finale, glad to have the whole gang for one final outing. And it's very Atlanta to have an ending that evokes Inception but changes the totem question from "Did the top topple?" to "Was Judge Judy thick?" lol. Gonna miss this show.
a short horror movie before the end
Pants tent! :rofl: Man, that callback.
I seriously hope we get a special or two at least, if not a full other series, I know what they said, but come on... :clap_tone1::clap_tone1::clap_tone1:
I somewhat enjoyed season 3's foreign, atypical detour(s), but here the whole ensemble together + peak surrealist streak in Atlanta just make it back to so much of what makes the show great.
As someone that dislikes group chats and has been put in the uncomfortable position of having to turn down an invitation, I felt seen. Lol.
Funny episode. The plot with the Disney princess was hilarious.
Richard really looked fragile. RIP.
PS: How hot is Sienna Miller?
I’m jealous of my great great grandchildren having shoehorn index fingers
i felt uncomfortable for 90% of this movie, and the other 10% was me feeling guilty for enjoying the campiness and eccentricity of it, mostly represented by natalie portman's character. she's soooo off-putting. sick and twisted. anyways, charles melton (riverdale's best boy, i miss that goof) is amazing. his scenes are so heartbreaking... you need to run away, boy. just run away :(
It would be hilarious if Michael Mann cast Lady Gaga as Laura Ferrari.
It was everything they said it would be and then some! Supreme spectacle with otherworldly intensity. Fan first was an experience I’ll never forget. A film for the ages. Long live the fighters!
Had some good moments, but the ending felt a little overcomplicated. Felt like it would have been better if the story was focused more on fear as a child.
Watching MEAN GIRLS for the first time was just one "Oh, so that's where that comes from!" after another. #iunderstoodthatreference
"You make my world so much bigger and I'm wondering if I do the same for you?"
Equally heartwarming and heartbreaking. Simple, but elegant. Romance is usually a flop with me, not my favorite genre but this one managed to make me emotional especially in the last few minutes. The characters and the two relationships we get here are so real and relatable. Supported by three amazing performances, beautiful imagery and a calm and soothing score. Some thought-provoking themes on fate, reincarnation, soulmates and immigration. The In-Yun stuff is a concept I probably won't ever forget. Really makes you question your life. Perfect emotional ending. Kinda scary that this is coming from a first time director, better watch out for Celine Song!
