A truly awful finale to a mostly decent season. Words cannot explain how much I despised this episode. It's the episode that deviates most from the source material, and also the one with the worst action and writing. Voleth Meir was a stupid character, and she shouldn't have had such a presence in the finale. Most of this episode was a stupid CG fight with a bunch of dumb monsters while Ciri just stands there staring at Geralt. Not enjoyable to watch, and The Wild Hunt's appearance was awful and felt really badly done.
And then we get to the grand reveal... holy fuck that was AWFUL. I'm not even gonna get started on this - they have dumbed down this Emhyr stuff so badly. I'm so mad about it. The biggest reveal of the books, and they completely and utterly butchered it and his character in a single line to end the season.
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
am i the only one who thought the writers fumbled the bag with this season finale ;/
idk it was just kind of anticlimactic/predictable leading up to & after the big fight
i actually thought the character growth for the cast as whole (leading up to this point) was fucking brilliant every step of the way, i guess i was just expecting more pizazz or a real grand finale that would wow me.
I feel like everything but the new doctor sucks. It really doesn't feel like Doctor who the way they present and direct things, Jodie is pretty good though.
Now that I had some time to think about it I still think season 1 was better. It's a shame but they Americanized it. double the violence, everything spelled out, linear storytelling, (almost) no sex or nudity, less gore.The production quality has stayed the same but sometimes it felt like Geralt was a supporting character for others. Most monsters killed with ease. Thank the gods they didn't Mary Sue Ciri but Yennefer did almost everything out of line with the character's behavior in the previous season. I understand she was struggling but it's hard to accept that bad-ass hero is now hugging a Jaskier
One thing I liked about this episode was the way that, in Niska's tests, they made the point that non-human consciousness is not going to be the same as human consciousness and that the kind of emotional triggers you'd use to elicit a response from a human are not necessarily going to work for any other kind of conscious entity.
After the long wait for the new series what we got wasn't worth the long wait.
Jodie is good as doctor, but the writing. The "new" doctor tries too much historic lessoning (Rosa, Punjab) and too much political correctness (female doctor, the companions) - not that that's bad for itself, but it seems the season had it's heart not enough in the "right doctor-ness" (fantastic stories, great-to-strange solutions for the problems, ..).
I usually needed some time to bond with a new doctor; so far the bonding with Jodie was quite fast, but the bonding with the stories and the writing will need some more time/seasons for me.
Skylar is such a fucking drama queen.
She's all for a life of crime when she's cooking the books for her lover or committing fraud to get the car wash or laundering money.
This whole "not safe for the kids" crap is nonsense... I would be with her if Walt still worked for a gang boss but this is different.
Not saying it's 100% safe but as I said before she's no angel.
Nº5 is the only reason I am forcing myself to finish this season.
What a shit ending man
I regret watching this show. Imo the story is nonsensical in a very bad way, Good visuals good main actor everything else just no....
boring as chuck , marvel has so much money and don't know what to do
You can tell they tried a different approach and there's now some sort of "poetic justice" attached to this ending, which failed to convince me, as the sheer amount of frustration derived from it completely obfuscated said ending. As a whole, this felt like a rushed, not adequately pondered and not that well written episode, and it definitely was not a good wrap-up to the series. It did bring closure, but at the cost of unwelcomed dissatisfaction, at least for me.
I continue to stand by what I said in this season's premiere: I enjoyed the original ending. If there's one thing this ending shows is that the original one was the right fit for the series.
Nice to see Adam Jensen himself here.
What an incredibly idiotic episode, even for Rick and Morty.
Normally I am a Ricky Gervais fan but I think he confused honesty with saying everything that pops into the character's head. The world created would have been much more believable and entertaining if they toned down the self monologue and focused on normal dialogue being brutally honest.
