Wow, this whole episode was rough.
I had the impression we knew the two women on the rooftop, but to realize after the fact that they were the ones that we first met working for Lawrence... :cry:

Then there's that beautifully sad escape sequence. I knew it would be sad before it even started but I thought they were going to be forced to give up before the crossing, not that.
Meh, started great, has amazing moments
But overall:
Meh.
So let this end how we begin.
"Humans say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Why? Do they think there’s a shortage of bad ones?
Karm’Luk P’an Ku
The joy of lucidity

I rolled my eyes when they put the costume back on June, thinking we were going back to square one. I did NOT expect that ending. And Radiohead to top it off. chef kiss
With characters like these it’s hard to know who you’re rooting for. I guess a show that can do that while keeping you hooked and feeling a whole bunch of dread, resentment and frustration must be doing a lot right.
It's so irritating the pleasure that Stannis, his wife and Melisandre show in front of people being burned alive. Jon Snow did the right thing under the circumstances. Despite the friction, Mance didn't deserve to die in agony.
Matt Damon is such a terrible choice for this role, I genuinely laughed several times.
While I think the subject matter is rather dull, this movie could have been done a lot better.
OMG Why do these shows wanna leave you hanging hard. The season finally was awesome, but I seriously hate when I don't have closure. This show should run in the fall so we don't have too wait lol cal is grown, mom is dead, the plane disappeared, and a plot to kill Ben! such an awesome end to the season, will definitely have you sitting on the edge of your seat until next year.
The dance was great with Maya and Leo, as well as I like the song (Ed Sheeran - Dive) that was played during that dance, also surprised that Shaun (supposedly) played that song (James Arthur - Falling Like The Stars). I really liked Asher's talk with Maya. I did think that it was cute and kind of funny that Lea gave the fetus a temporary name, Berry, because it's the size of a blueberry. Lol
I found the whole college frathouse plot without Zoe Barnes boring
Her friend is a fucking cunt.
And whats the fuss about it when he is 18 xD
I thought he is 16.
Elizabeth Keener is HOT. I can't blame Ressler for breaking the law by aiding and abiding a fugitive.
What is up with teen dramas and cheating? First Maeve, now Eric. Also the fact that a 17 year old went gallivanting around a strange city with an adult he just met is messed up. I know they didn't hook up, but the fact that the show made us think for a minute there that they did is gross. Like, sir, that is a literal minor, please go to jail.
The headmistress is evil evil. What she did to Adam, Lily and Cal was horrible. The students need to riot right now and get her removed.
Loved the simple moment of Adam's dad recreating the joy he felt cooking with his mom as a child. Very touching scene.
The double date was so fun. It started off super awkward, but Adam unexpectedly giving Otis great advice regarding Ola and finding common ground with Ruby over the Kardashians of all things was really heartwarming to watch.
The headmistress offering to help fund Maeve's trip to America has earned her a tiny bit of good will. Maeve deserves so much after all that she's been through. The show really wants me to get on the Erin forgiveness train, but it's not happening. The way she's treated Maeve is too awful to get past IMO. You don't owe people second chances just because you're related to them.
The last scene was heartbreaking. It must've been so hard for Ruby to open up to Otis and let him see past the facade and when he didn't say I love you back you could see her heart shatter. I know he shouldn't say it if he's not sure or not ready, but still, I felt so bad for her.
You know what…. Fuck maeve…… I want ruby to be happy and with Otis ….. it’s probably not gonna happen tho
Well, looks like this show subverted my expectations yet again. I was sure the Isaac thing was gonna be dragged out till the last possible moment. I'm pleasantly surprised.
In other news, Maeve's mom is still the worst, the headmistress has made the fastest change from hero to villain I've ever seen, Maeve and Aimee's friendship is everything to me, Adam's character development is great (I love that he's finding ways to change his harmful patterns of behavior, we stan) and Otis and Ruby might just be the first time I actually ship the couple that's in the way of another couple I'm rooting for.
I'm glad Isaac came clean early in the season. Maeve was never going to be okay with that he did, so best to be done with it now.
And I'm getting strong Delores Umbridge vibes from the new headmistress. I'm guessing there will eventually be a student revolt and Groff will somehow get his job back, possible with less fervor than before?
When June saw Rita again, mannnn someone started cutting onions in here. Those traumatic bonds that all of them share with each other, I hope the show goes into that more.
Every episode this season is absolutely Terrible! CBS, please just stop! Discovery is done. I love the Star Trek shows & this ain’t it! Just call this prog discovery & leave the Star Trek bit off, coz discovery isn’t even close to the high standards the normal Star Trek series has set.
Come on, Eric cheating on Adam was so unnecessary.
They're still trying to make their relationship work and this whole season just showed all the effort Adam puts into it (improving his grades, writing poetry, having open conversations, managing his anger issues). Meanwhile Eric gets upset when Adam doesn't want sex or when he's worried about Eric in Nigeria? And now Eric cheats on him? I'm all for multi-dimensional characters, but would be great to see some effort or good side of Eric in this season.
Nothing like a sex montage to start off the new season.
Whoever gave Maeve that haircut needs to be shot. Someone really looked at the gorgeous Emma Mackey and thought it would be a good idea to give her these bangs. Disgraceful.
Even though I ship Maeve and Otis, he and Ruby are cute. Maeve and Isaac on the other hand are a big nope for me. I hope he stays firmly in the friend zone, but this show is a teen drama, so it could go either way at this point.
Yes Dave is the GOAT, but this was not his best. I would not watch this with an expectations. Only watch this when you are extremely I mean extremely bored. You are not missing out on anything.
Brilliant season. Oh, and Bark Wahlberg :joy:.
How can you not feel empathy after hearing her testimony about what she went through?! Worse of all, she keeps being gaslighted! (I'm not surprised the Waterfords have supporters when there are Trump supporters in the real world)
For all the flaws this show had after Ragnars death I think this is a decent and saitsfactory ending. And at least they didnt ruin the legacy of (and my enjoyment in rewatching) the first seasons like a certain other show. The first three seasons will always remain one of favorites of any show ever.
Why do the writers have to conflate gun safety with women's right to choose. Dr Glassman's concern about a gun in the house he lives in is just as valid as Debbie's concern about feeling controlled. Dr Glassman can be a controlling person, but he can also be right about not wanting a gun in the house.
If the genders were reversed, and a woman didn't want a gun where she lived, the storyline wouldn't be about the man's right to choose. It would just be about whether two people can find a compromise, and if neither side can compromise, then it's just bad compatibility and shouldn't be together.
I also don't understand America's obsession with guns. Could you imagine if Debbie wanted a super aggressive dog in the house, one that attacks, maims and potentially kills intruders, but also has a high rate of accidentally attacking and killing the owners of the house (which guns do!)... how is that allowed? And in that scenario, how would it be okay to force Dr Glassman to accept that the guard dog has to be allowed in the house?
Well this episode is a total waste of air time, for years I have had this series rated as 8/10 but this Elizabeth recap episode has forced me to drop my rating to a mere 5/10 and I am being overly generous!
Get rid of her - then maybe I might start enjoying The Blacklist once again.
So are we going to repeat the whole Ketill/Floki plot but this time with Ubbe??? :unamused:
These little droids were as useful in taking back the ship as Jar-Jar Binks.
I swear if Reddington ends up being Liz's mother because the show was told to get woke or go broke, I'm done with this show. The whole time I was waiting for the reveal that was all I could think about. It would be 8 years down the drain.
How is the actress that plays Mrs. Keyes only 14??!?! Wow
She's definitely an interesting character and the dynamic with her and June is interesting already.
