I'm seeing some negative reactions in here. Well, I quite liked it tbh. Had me glued to the screen the whole time. Maybe I don't remember the quality of seasons 1-5 or maybe I'm just happy with little, who knows. Everyone seems to hate this season and I have to say I'm not 100% happy with it. BUT. I really liked this episode. Anyway, what can I say.
I don't think many people realize how important this episode, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine in general, are. The show's talked about many issues, and I think it's very important that this episode focused on white supremacy and police brutality towards the black community. I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I think it's one of the most underrated sitcoms of this generation. More people should focus on this show. Please do not get it cancelled.
Waste of time. I can't believe they did that. Seriously????
Such a phenomenal and truly important episode. This is definitely the best they've ever done and certainly going in my Top 10 of the year, and probably staying there. Literal art!
Deeply disturbing. But an excellent chapter. Makes me wonder what awaits me next chapter.
what the fuck was that??? i think the writers stopped taking black pills after writing red tide
Nice treatment of the subject of racism in policing, without being heavy-handed or making light as this is a comedy. Really masterful bit of work in a half-hour format!
Commenting ahead of time to avoid all the people that are jumping on the hate bandwagon. The seasons a slasher one inspired by 80s horror... stop acting like you are expecting The Shawshank Redemption. Or continue to nitpick and blend in with the rest of the generic comments.
Talking Titans? Intelligent Titans? Creepy hidden Titans in the walls? I already knew this season was going to blow my mind,
I just did not expect it to make my whole body explode.
To the best of my recollection, no show has dealt with a major character death as well as this episode of Halt and Catch Fire.
Of the 5 principle characters (Joe, Gordon, Cameron, Donna, and Boss), it's safe to say that no character is as beloved as Gordon. He is hard working, genuine, and deeply care about people around him. He raises the bar for others to emulate. In my opinion, he's more responsible for bringing positive transformations for other 4 characters than anyone else.
All untimely death of a beloved character is filled with regrets. Haley is no doubt the most impacted. In the next remaining episodes, we will see how others will pickup the pieces, work toward healing each other, and bring "re-launch" into fruition in honor of Gordon.
Halt and Catch Fire is always beautifully shot, and unexpected lens flare in the middle of the episode was particularly effective (and I speak as someone who is sick and tired of lens flare tricks). It really stood out as something oddly unusual, foreshadowing Gordon's flashback later on.
The clash between Donna and Joe was my second favorite scene in the episode. In this final season, Joe has been the surprise understanding voice, always patient, always listening, and caring. He lost some of his composure with Donna, but the clash brought honesty and start the process of bringing Donna back into the circle.
And finally, Bos. His relationship with Cameron has always been very special. They fill much needed void they longed for. In a way, all five principle characters in Halt and Catch Fire are after filling a void. Donna falsely let her her ambitions take over, in a pursuit of filling her void. To Gordon, it has always been about family and friends. And Joe has realized the same by working with Gordon and Haley, bringing immense peace.
Silicon Valley is and has been that second wave California Gold Rush. At one point or another, all five principle characters got that piece of gold. But their dream is something else.
i cried. you've been great, show. (now can we have a film?)
First of all, I am so grateful that AMC let this amazing crew and cast finish their vision.
I lived in Silicon Valley for last 18 years, during the heights of dotcom, followed by a dotcom crash, then web 2.0 revival, and now cloud computing and machine learning revolution. I remember coming to Silicon Valley with big dreams, living in a sparsely furnished 1-bedroom apartment. Worked with big companies, worked with dotcom startups. Ups and downs. Now living in a pretty nice house in the heart of Silicon Valley, I sometimes wonder if my dreams are still alive. Just like the cast of Halt and Catch Fire.
The series ends with an open question, the very question that started the series: "Let me start by asking a question."
Dreams start with a question. And like Phoenix, it's then all about the journey. People you meet and work with. The brainstorming. Sleepless nights. Iterate. Demos. Failures. Pivots. I loved every minutes of Halt and Catch Fire. It's been an amazing journey.
I can't understand why everyone is so hyped about this episode there was just violence without any tension. it was just 45 minutes of wasted time! After that massive cut of the last season this episode was just made to rekonstruct the set of main charachters for season 7. This could have been direkted better by a 5 year old!
I was waiting so long for the new season....now i don't know if i'm even still interestet in TWD.
Thanks for that!
I absolutely loved the Jerry daycare storyline. There were so many fun little details as to the various Jerrys and the things that entertained or occupied them, especially how the supervisor treated them like children. But the main storyline didn't do too much for me. It's always nice to hear Jermaine Clement plying his musical trade, but the ending was a bit predictable. It's still Rick and Morty, there's lot of mad-cap scifi fun to go around, but it didn't have the punch of some other plots on the show.
While ERASED finished on a positive note (especially with dat Airi ending!!), I can't help but feel that things were just a bit too predictable and cookie-cutter during the second half of the show. The first half of it was riveting and amazing, but the show really started to lose itself once Kayo's problem got resolved. Overall, it's a solid show and thriller, but it didn't really break any new ground especially with how everything progressed towards Yashiro being the way too obvious "ultimate villain". Also, it might have been a little rushed in the last few episodes and could have probably benefited from a 13th episode to add a little more filler and depth to the final sequences, Yashiro's motives/intentions, and the events post-time-skip.
I'll give the show a solid 7.5/10 or so. Not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I was entertained. Plus, you can never go wrong with having too many loli characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh, hell. Mother and Father are not Baudelaires, but Quagmires? I'm so sad. I mean, obviously I knew that Violet, Klaus and Sunny wouldn't be reunited with their parents, but I was still certain that Cobie Smulders and Will Arnett WERE their parents. No other option even crossed my mind. Well played, writers. Well played.
I'm disappointed that Sir's head wasn't hidden in a cloud of smoke like in the books. And that there was only an eye-shaped window instead of the whole building being shaped like an eye.
So, Sir and Charles are gay?
There were so many references to the VFD in this episode, from the title of the dictionary to the letters on the board in the optometrist's office. You really have to be careful when you're watching this show. You blink and you miss something important.
that animation my dude
THAT ANIMATION IS LIT AF
"- I feel like we've been sitting on this bench for months.
- We've been waiting for so long, Sunny's starting to look less like a baby and more like a toddler."
Nothing like a good ol' fourth wall break to start the new season, am I right? I loved it so much!
One of the things I enjoy about this show is how they can explore all the events that happen without the Baudelaires around, like Larry the waiter's fight with Olaf. It gives us book readers a whole new perspective on the series.
The girl who plays Carmelita Spats is a goddamn MVP. She's delightfully annoying.
Sara Canning as Jacquelyn was my favorite recurring character in season 1 and she's still fantastic. I want a spin-off dedicated just to her shenanigans.
Horseraddish apples? I see what you're doing there, writers! You think you can sneak those little Easter eggs past me?
What a great episode. I'm excited for the rest of the season. The Ersatz Elevator and The Hostile Hospital are probably my favorite books in the series, so I can't wait to see them come to life on the screen!
How they all knew he'd die as soon as he cut himself. That was terrifying to look at.
I never liked Owen in movies before but in The Knick his performance was absolutely amazing.
His death almost overshadows Tom setting up Harriet. That was a big surprise for me.
I knew he is a bit iffy around the edges but generally a good and caring guy under that hard shell. But screwing her over like that?
Wouldn't have thought he is so strictly against "abortionalists" but tolerated it anyway out of love for her.
Herman getting radiation poisoning serves him right. I got a headache by simply watching him getting his first x-ray, where the salesman wanted to demonstrate the machine and told Herman he needs to stand in front of it for couple of hours.
Henry being responsible for the fire was kinda obvious but not that he is such a ruthless killer, as he threatend Cornelia. Who in return fled the country to be free from him and out of his reach. While Lucy got what she wanted all along, a man in the upper stand and a corresponding status for herself.
Soderbergh created this show as a two year arc, even though a season 3 script was ordered.
The tying up of all loose ends makes this apparent. So, in case there will be a third season, this is the "true" end.
Alongside the end for season 1 of American Crime, this is my most favourite season/show end.
superb episode. the fights, how they captured moments, everything was on point. this show deserves a lot!
Everything was love and sweetness and suddenly that happens! "???!! too dark"
What an amazing episode! Seriously how underrated is this show?
Amazing penultimate episode for next week's season (series?) finale.
This season has been a truly transformative one for all principle characters and I hope it ends on a hopeful note.
Best cliffhanger ever. I know when that hotline bling
This show is always funny, but getting the interview they got today was a whole other level of educational, interesting, and entertaining. Impressive.
damnit! what an emotional ending.
