@van-nyx In jail for what? such a shitshow i must say i mean hes 18 he can do what he wants.
Only 6 months? WTF? Sexual misconduct and kidnapping are at least 5 to 20 years in prison. I don't know what she actually got charged for since they skipped over it, but 6 months seems too short.

@peeps_ YOU ARE DUMB LIKE SHIT 5-20 years sure xD.
Was his choice hes 18 and he made the first move.
A cinematic masterpiece and benchmark for movies to come.
In "Interstellar", a film written and directed by Christopher Nolan,
climate change has decimated most of the world's food supplies.
Towns are regularly ravaged by fierce sand storms, and
everything is covered with thick layers of dust.A very select group of scientists set out to embark
on humanities most ambitious mission: travel through
a newly discovered wormhole into another galaxy.
They hope of collecting the necessary data to either move
many people onto a new experimental gravitation spaceship, or find a new Earth altogether.I have now watched this movie twice at an IMAX.
After my first viewing, when the credits rolled,
I sat there perplexed and was unable to move. I was paralysed
by what I had seen. I looked around, I was not the only one.
Unquestionably, one of the greatest movies I had ever seen.
I was almost ashamed to admit it, because it felt like I had no
say in this decision whatsoever.
There are many moments when "Interstellar" transcends into
something so artistic, you are left speechless and are moved to tears.The cinematography and directing is, even by Nolan's standards,
his best work so far. I think his talent is even too profound for
the Academy of Motion Pictures, hence why he has yet to receive an oscar
for directing. Personally, after watching "Interstellar", I consider
him to be the best director that is currently alive, only rivalled
by Kubrick and Hitchcock.Hans Zimmer wrote the score and I really recommend to read how
he translated Nolan's fantastic ideas into music.
I get goosebumps just thinking about the high-speed docking scene,
and you will, too! The sound engineers did an amazing job contrasting
the cosmic silence with Zimmer's incredibly ethereal music.
During the rocket launch, the entire theatre shook and you were
really feeling the thrust.If I was forced to describe the score, I would say it was
heavily influenced by Johann Strauß, Philip Glass and Bach.
Truly a masterpiece that deserves to be revisited many times and
among all the great soundtracks he has ever done, this is simply
on an entirely different level. His most intimate work.The visual effects were breathtaking - quite literally.
The on-screen silence during certain parts of the movie
was only rivalled by the complete and utter silence
of my fellow IMAX watchers. Nobody said a word, nobody moved.
Just hundreds of mesmerized people staring at the screen,
or digging their fingers into their armrests during
some of the most tense moments I have ever seen."Interstellar" depicts astrophysical concepts that
have never been seen or discussed on-screen before.
"Awesome", in its most literal sense, really describes it.When I set out to write this review, I really tried to
avoid superlatives, and give you a more nuanced opinion
of why I think this movie deserves to be ranked among
the best, but I now see how I have failed.I recommend to watch "Interstellar" at an IMAX,
or the best movie theatre around you.

Sean is one nasty mother f. Look, his favorite show is Dragon Z ball, no wonder he doesn't like a grown up movie like this that actually makes him think. I admit I had my restriction about this movie, but when I actually saw it, goddamnit, easy on my top 10. Sean is a grinch, and he will have his judgementday for all his actions, they will have consequenses. I pity him for his hatred.
It truly was a masterpiece. 100% agree.
The SNL skit of this show was great!

@van-nyx It was absolutely hilarious!! :joy: (And that is not weird at all, it is great to have someone to discuss this show with)
I feel this show had potential, they had a great opportunity to show just how dangerous this type of “relationship” can be. But it’s like we get some snippets here and there but nothing is fully explored + Claire is the stupidest predator I have ever seen!!
The good news is we have to endure 1 more episode and we will be done!! :sweat_smile:
Patrick Stewart spins around the wrong way after Brent Spiner "hits" him in Engineering… No wonder that particular fight call seemed extra cheesy.
Both times Graves transfers his consciousness, the implied mechanics leave major plot holes. Who turned Data back on? How did Data get on the floor? Who unplugged him?!
While I wouldn't necessarily call this a great story—it has a lot of elements that were common in science fiction up to that time, and the plot holes are awfully big—it is a great watch. Brent Spiner doing just about anything makes for a great watch.
I'm a bit disappointed to read that a scene where Data was to riff on Picard's bald head, after his attempt at a Riker-like beard failed, was cut from the script. That would have been hilarious. But maybe it would have included another instance of Deanna making some excuse to avoid laughing in front of Data, who is an android and would not feel insulted by it, so… maybe it was better left out. (That bit was very out of character, I thought. Troi shouldn't feel the need to hide her reaction from Data. He'd find it useful feedback, if anything.)
Besides Spiner's usual obvious fun-having, there are some nice little writing touches to think about.
IMDB pointed out (because I haven't read Dickens in forever) that the disease Graves had is probably a reference to a character of the same name in A Tale of Two Cities, which is pretty great.
Graves' name itself, while not really a literary reference per se, is still funny. A man trying to cheat death is named after the thing in which he does not want to end up (a grave). Har har?
(I also realized early on this this episode why Dr. Pulaski must be so dour… She's played by Diana Muldaur, who practically has "dour" in her name… but that's a cheap shot, I guess.)
loading replies
@andreas1138 It could be a direct turbolift, but I think the obvious explanation is the correct one: Neither the writers nor the director wanted to show Pulaski mouthing a command to the turbolift during her voiceover dialogue—and they certainly didn't want to have her talk over herself—so they had her stand in silence instead.
This won't the the first time you encounter blocking that doesn't quite fit with how things are "supposed to" work in the Trek universe. Automatic doors, for example, are notorious for somehow "knowing" exactly when to open (or not) based on the dramatic beats of a scene. :grin:
A wonderful moment to pause and an important episode for the show. No sci-fi, no drama, no high stakes, just a pure character focus. It's an episode that almost didn't get made, but it's beautiful and feels completely necessary after what Picard has just been through. Patrick Stewart gives a great performance and once again it feels like, as Picard, he lets the mask drop and becomes more himself. Of course, the lingering effects of the emotional damage caused by the Borg are still going to come back and haunt him down the line.
His breakdown while covered in mud is certainly a major turning point for him, and it helped no end that he had great chemistry with the actor playing his stern older brother.
While the focus is on the captain, I found Worf and Wesley's family matters just as interesting. Worf is clearly delighted to see his parents despite the protests he makes to Riker and O'Brien. And oh my God, I LOVE the Rozhenkos!
This episode does drive home what a horrible writing choice will happen later in the film Generations in regards to Captain Picard's family.

@lefthandedguitarist I did enjoy the episode, it just didn't tickle me as much as it did you (and most people, judging by how high it's rated here). I prefer more sci-fi and less character bonding, though Star Trek is a franchise known for bringing those two factors together (meaning it's not just "pew pew sci-fi" - I just made this term up, but I'm not hopeful it will catch on). Anyway, I've always found the episodes spent on Earth rather dull (unless they're time travel episodes, of course, those are always fun). But I definitely agree with you, diversity makes life more fun and, even when we don't agree 100%, I often find your commentaries to be quite spot-on and, as such, I enjoy reading them.

i kinda dislike Floki now. i liked him being psycho but this is going to a place i don't like and after Athlestan...

@anazaisei i agree, i luv the character at the beginning, but now you never know if he's straight or if he's gonna betray everybody... kinda boring
Yidu is such a pointless character. All her scenes with Ragnar bore me to tears.
Lagertha continues to be badass, though. It amazes me how she sensed something was off with Kalf. Maybe she knew he was plotting to kill Bjorn? It might have been just power ambition, though.
loading replies
@todestrieb Well, Lagertha did promise that she would eventually kill Kalf when they first got together. She was just delivering on that promise.
A good battle, but not really epic. No tactics, no special feat, only one action. They just clash and go. A little disapointing after the whole going over mountains thing.
Also it just ends there ? Feels like they lost so many more men on the first try in season 3. Why don't they just retreat and come back with a new tactic ? And on the other end why would the Franks let them go knowing they usually come back ? They could have used the chain to block and slaughter them all. Wasn't Rollo saying just before What defeat ? As long as he's not dead Ragnar is not defeated ?
Then what, 10 years pass and they just decided to kill several storylines just like that ? That's a great cliffhanger and Travis is great so I wanna see what they do with that, but come on. I don't count this stunt in my rating of the episode. I hate this kind of abandonning of current events and pausing, like nothing happened during 10 years, but all the unresolved things left in suspense will start moving on now.1) So 10 years passed. Didn't they raid anything during that time ?
2) Aslaug is still there, probably alcoholic, nothing on letting Bjorn's daughter die ?
3) The whole Harbard thing was totally useless this season.
4) Aethelwulf and Alfred going to Rome, was there a point ? What about when he learns of Kwentrith's death ?
5) What about Harald that wanted to be king ? 10 years without Ragnar and nothing ?
6) The Frank king knows about Roland and gets rid of him and his sister. How did that happen ? And so this lead nowhere, they were just a plot device to replace Odo by Rollo.
7) In the end, there was almost no impact of Ragnar's addiction. Unless he's still a junkie but it does not look like it. Another whole useless arc.
8) As the child is dead now, I guess we'll never see Porunn again
9) Floki and the seer ? On hold for 10 years ?
10) The Wessex settlement. In 12 years, nobody bothered to go and check or even wondered what happened to these people ? It was supposed to be their future, nobody wanted to go and check, or join them, or try to establish other settlements ?loading replies
@fly_ pretty much sums up what I was thinking. I felt kind off cheated with that huge jump. You watch 10 episodes and wonder where this leads and, bamm, all in vain. Plus, when you consider what has happeened in the ten years before it is hard to accept that there is still the status quo where Ragnar is king and Lagertha has her earldom.

@mrblonde Wouldn't be much of a fight seeing that king Aelle had like 30 warriors lol. It was evident Vikings would crush them fast, hence no scene was needed. But yes, Ecbert has much larger army and there most likely will be a fight scenes. Also, might be some Kattegat battle aswell.
I still don't get Bjorn and Astrid's affair. Why? Because they're Vikings? That reason's getting old tbh. :o

@mg_grey I think he was mad at his wife for disobeying him and Astrid was jealous by the way Lagatha talked about Ragnar but I don't like their affair either.

This is why feminism can't be ignored, banalized or underrated. Don't be mistaken because it is classified as a Sci-Fi, this is real life. We are living in 2017, but we all know that, unfortunately, it doesn't feel like it sometimes.

@dodxz8 Honey, the handmaid's tale was written because of the conservative opposition against second wave feminism in the 70s-80s. I personally believe 2nd wave feminism to be a great movement about equality. However the modern 3rd and 4th wave feminism are not about equality, but about dominance. Please understand feminism's history and not apply broad strokes and generalizations on complex issues.
Wow, really? Another chance to portray Christians as the evil oppressive type.

@wambie Yeah there's so little evidence towards that too..
I never thought I would be so upset about Ecbert's death, but somehow he grew on me, especially during the last episodes :c
And of course I'll miss Floki so much! That poor guy went through so much. I have no idea where his storyline will go from here, but that makes it even more interesting. I can't wait for season 5!

@haibara Ecbert's been the best character since he entered the show, to be honest.
When Jonathan Rhys Meyers entered the episode I was like; "What's Henry the 8th doing here?"
A few seconds later: "Aha, still shagging girls."Great episode!

@digfish I don't know I think I rather would have Lagertha as my wife then any of Henry the 8's.

@stijnmaes1992 maybe she's raging because the man responsible for the raping and murdering of women is getting away scot-free?!
SYNOPSIS:
June and Luke work together to save Hannah. Serena and Fred greet unexpected visitors from Gilead. Janine tries to assist Aunt Lydia when a Handmaid-in-training goes on hunger strike.loading replies
@charlie-r for some reason, I thought it was the little girl Wife in the last place they stayed. The one who forced Janine to eat the pig she was bonding with. I'm terrible with faces, but I felt like it was her, just now she got turned into a handmaid instead of a wife as punishment for helping. I could totally be wrong. It could just be a brand new hand-maid in training. At the beginning of the episode "previously on the handmaid's tale" you see the woman in blue. Then at the end, another closeup of her face. I'm really not good with faces...but I feel like it was her, especially since they showed her at the start of the episode.
This episode packs so much stuff.
Aunt Lydia loves Janine, perhaps the only person she loves who at least kinda loves her back. Most significantly, it is clear that Janine is the only person capable of cracking Lydia's protective shell, letting us get a glimpse of humanity hiding within. I suspect Lydia sees Janine as a Supplicant, a prospective Aunt. This will become very significant as this series progresses into the timeline of The Testaments.
Poor Luke. This episode illustrates how far June has fallen -- pre-Handmaid June is long dead. June's ice melted the moment she heard Nick's voice. June may love Luke as much as Nick, but the only man who truly understands post-Handmaid June is Nick. This common bond, along with her unconditional love for her children, kept June alive.
The most satisfying is the aftermath of Fred and Serena. Last week's episode, when they were cheered by the Gilead sympathizers, was very disturbing to say the least. On this episode, Gilead has thrown them under the bus by sending thoughts and prayers, and hints of retribution when they return. June and Luke's justified rage notwithstanding, I look forward to Fred and Serena seeking their revenge against the Gilead.

@nutmac I don't think Janine loves Aunt Lydia, I think it's fawning (as a trauma response). There's evidence of this as she's done it to other people in the series, like with June and with the rebels.

@matter99 I agree. I half expected the ale to be poisoned but that seemed to be a dud. On the battlefield when he didn't want to return I half expected him to switch sides and that it was all some secret code "how blue are my eyes".

@broknsymetry they are probably the followers of the Seer lol
Everything was pretty good until the forest scene what the hell?? Prisoner exchange was a very clever idea, I'll give them that. I would like to see what Gilead would do with Fred? Poetic justice, he would suffer because of the laws he helped writing. But no, as a group of 30 women let's just chase him in the woods and beat him to death. Even cut his finger and send his ring to his wife?
I'M SO DISAPPOINTED.loading replies
@hymntothesea I think Gilead commanders authorized Nick to execute Fred. Nick arranged ex-handmaids to kill Fred via "Particicutions", a savage punishment Fred helped create.
I would've loved to see Serena's reaction, but I guess they are saving that for season 5.
