Another episode that doesn't fit in the "Black Mirror" series. Not even remotely anything to do with tech or dystopia. The "immigrant hate" angle went nowhere. Was there any hidden meaning / point to the story, or was it just a meaningless story?
I absolutely get the criticism that this episode (like most episodes of season 6) don't really fit into the previous Black Mirror narrative.
And yet, I loved this one and hope to see Anjana Vasan bashing more people to death in future movies.
1) (again) Teenagers and their underdeveloped brains, oh my god. Unfortunately, in TLOU every idiotic decision becomes a literal life or death situation.
2) STELLAR performance by Storm Reid, I swear it forced Bella to take her own acting up a notch. The result was my tear stained face (and quite possibly yours too).
3) Fuuuuuuucccccck! "Back in 5 mins", I'm bawling.
8/10 - for Riley/Storm Reid, the pop culture references, the delightful reminders of life pre apocalypse, and a (nearly) flawless victory.
so great to see tina shine! she deserves it anf her character development so far has been amazing. i love carm and want him to be happy, but i can't get behind the way he's leaving sydney alone
i am DEVASTATED this was such a powerful and depressing episode. ALL the awards for bella and storm
They made this even sadder than the game.
The proof that this tv show got really bad is that it would be impossible to have 9 seasons with this kind of quality. Watching this series went from being a good time to a challenge.
Don't say that the superhero genre is dying, bad writing is trying to kill it for a long time.
I really enjoyed this final episode and the series. Good edge of the seat tension. Well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:
I don't know you, but the part where the ex-wife was not actually the ex-wife but a hired pro on a long con was so very satisfying
The Red Death is Batwoman.
Okay I am done. This is just beyond trashy. Got super excited for Bruce Wayne to come, but this is just total bs. I am glad this is the last season. It deserves to be put out of its misery.
Imagine if the show got canceled and THAT was the series finale :joy:
"You always have a choice". No, you don't. Sometimes you really don't have a choice. If a guy is trying to kill you and you don't have invulnerability, you cannot afford the risk of a long fight where you may end up dead. If the only way to stop him is by killing him, then there is no choice.
I mostly forgot about Bill from the game, He was a good character, sure but he never had that much to him, but this episode did him more than justice imo, I love that they didn't try to make him just another sacrifice in the road to deliver Ellie but instead gave him a proper background story, it was a really good episode overall
Don't do this to me. I have to know who got sucked off.
I like Michael Cudlitz, don't get me wrong. But the choices made in this episode around the introduction of Luthor were making me feel like I was watching Sons of Anarchy most of the time.
Wow, what a season. It’s been a wild, exciting ride, and this roller-coaster ride of a finale was the perfect, stress-inducing cap. I can’t imagine a first-time cast measuring up to this one for a while… Congratulations to a very worthy winner!
Merge already?! I am SO over Survivor Lite. We need longer days on the island. I feel like I barely know these people yet.
It might be true to most of the books and the cinematography is truly sublime, but this was really a weak episode. Its not the acting, but really just the pacing and writing which is really a bit weak. I hope we go up from here again.
Clark being excited to hang out with the boys was so cute they broke his heart :sob:
"Coming through, buddy" :police_officer:♀:grin:
ugggh, I wanna know what gonna happen next
I just hope the guy burnt in the rooftop is really dead, such a pathetic character…
Come on. Wet the towel and put it under the crack in the door, just like you would for smoke in a fire!
