Did Ivan just suddenly have a change of personality and and turn from a maniacal genius into the stupidest person on the planet ? Thought I was watching the last season of Game of Thrones for a second there
David Shore stil got it . Amazing epsode !
Best chuckle line -
" I think there should be segregation between the sexes"
"...and within the sexes!"
The movie references throughout this episode were great. Definitely added something great to the whole episode.
I think 10 episodes is overkill. I mean in this episode you would think Brady would go after Jerome or maybe even his dog. To get at Hodges. Instead he targets a white power guy, from a previous episode. When the guy calls him dickless at work, that just fuels Brady to go after him harder.
The Brendan Gleeson and Mary-Louise Parker chemistry mostly got me through this one. Otherwise it's time to intensify things between Hodges and Brady more.
Plus doesn't make sense that Brady and his mom panicked when the younger brother was choking. But just watch him die, like zombies when he fell down the stairs ?
Slow. Usual gruesome gut-punch KIng whose obsession with 'hand jobs' and other stuff is evident. Some things are just better left to the imagination.
Ok, it's dystopian as fuck, but that does not make a story. This was a good introduction, to show how fucked up this world is. The Ceremony and the particicution are really disturbing. Now waiting to see what the story will be about. Guess they will be some kind of Resistance. The story of how this society came to be might even be more interesting.
That episode was hard to watch. It’s horrible how they treat lesbians. Gender traitor, wtf? Alexis Bledel is brilliant in this role.
Interesting how they tried to rebel however they can, even if it's teenager level.
I don't get this thing with the driver. Looks so forced. Scenarists were like "Well she still has to flirt with somebody. There's litterally only one other male character. So let's go with him.".
And ok, Nolite te bastardes carborundorum, bitches was a great line.
I liked the bit where the new Offglen told June that the new order is good for her - that part was very realistic, because it's true, even if the worst of the regimes there are some who end up better than before.
I don't think that the scene with Emily-now-Offsteven was great or moving - It's just plain terrorism and the specific guard she killed wasn't to blame for anything, it just shows the nature of some extremists who think their misery is an excuse for hurting others.
And in general, it feels like people are just people, lust is lust - and June just missed good sex :) I'm not moved by the so-called feminist agenda, I don't see anything realistic about the idea, but the story itself is not that bad, the music placement is enjoyable, so it worth going on with it.
If it's a trap, June's story moves forward. If it's the truth, June's story moves forward. Either way, something has to break the monotony of her tale so far.
The 'dead' husband was the most obvious thing that could get this dead otherwise plot going. Apart of the resistance that is. This show is terribly written.
Great episode so far. I have not been disappointed with any as of yet. Would highly recommend watching this series.
I'm really, really liking this show. Both the medical and human elements are compelling.
But the chinese girl's hair was whack. That was a wig, right?
That is a weak episode by any definition but for a season finale that is low.
I remember everyone on the cast talking about how they never thought they would reach a second season and judging by that episode the producers must have felt the same. Not wanting to end on a real cliffhanger yet provide some kind of incentive for viewers to come back should there be one.
From the comment by user "dgw" I would think that strike was a factor but in any case it is badly written throughout with several logical errors. The survivors from the cryo-pod are painfully clichèd. They are, what was thought at the end of the 80s, how people would be like in the future. Yet they appear much more back in time then the 80s. I also don't like the light hearted music they played over a scene everytime something is supposed to be funny. Switching the storylines and making the destroyed outposts and the Rumalans more prominent could have given this episode more grip.
The only real positive for me is the appearance of Marc Alaimo.
The worst episode of any Trek series I've seen in a while. Though the acting was great and the plot was decent, a higher amount of profanities than usual, not the mention the creepy aliens, messed things up for me. Let's hope the season finale ends things on a better note.
A slow start to this series. I'm not encouraged yet, but given how much I tend to dislike pilots, I will give it at least another episode before I decide whether or not to continue with this series, but it better advance things more quickly and/or deeply than the pilot.
This show isn't much of a mystery and feels much more like family drama, if anything. Ben ( Josh Dallas' character ) is wildly stupid. I don't know about anyone else, but I would definitely have caused a scene if I'd found out that my (ex?)wife had a boyfriend and was contacting him behind my back . Other than that, it's pretty predictable so far - saw that ending coming a long way away along with the robbery resolution - and that's why it's not drawing my attention as it should. Will continue for a few more episodes before deciding whether or not to drop it.
This show is one of the dumbest shows on the air. I mean there's a literal religious show on mainstream air that makes more sense than this show and this show has the science fiction excuse.
The thing I want to call out in this episode is the fact that the dad character who has fought the "silly conspiracy" to save his son. SUCCEEDED in doing so and is someone kicked out of his house. I'm not saying women suck of anything but this specific situation makes no sense and keeping his son from him makes even less sense. I understand why daughter should stay with mom because for 5.5 years it was just them two but the son should be with his father because both of them were experimented on and clearly he is willing to do what it takes to protect his son. This kid is important to everything going on and the mother is just going to ignore it because she's blind. Honestly the writers sucked at making her character anyway. She should be more aware considering her son's health is at stake.
This show is too stupid to warrant watching. Lets have a military ops were we free 12 hostages and then send them off with some lady we hardly know. No debriefing. We'll do it before the head of the ops is even out of the location. The guys wife will kick him out of the house the same day he's involved in saving 12 people's lives? I don't care what beef you have with your husband, you don't kick him out the same day he saved 12 people's lives.
There's no possible way this show will reach it's planned conclusion. It will be cancelled prematurely and in a hurried 2 episodes the writers will try to resolve the story. I'm done.. Can't stand this mess anymore.
This one had some decent plot movement (a) on the Autumn front and (b) with Ben stopping with the secrecy crap and (c) with regard to the reveal at the end. But there was also lots more stupidity, with the biggest example being the whole ignorance = safety excuse offered to Grace by Ben and Mick, which is a concept that will never stop being annoying and so very wrong. But writers just don't care since it's such a convenient and lazy plot device and a cheap way to generate "drama."
This show has become a bit of a comedy,i mean cmon,this police chief can do what he wants,murder,robbery,sell drugs and never once does anything happen to him...
This is a tonally weird episode...not sure how I feel about it.
"Don't drop crumbs leaving a trail 'cause you never know kind of critter could be behind you"
haha they always make it look like it works on film, sledding down the sand dune on the map like that, but on the real, physics don't exactly work that way and the map would've ripped with his weight. The idea is totally fun and makes the escape even more exciting.
"I thought your camera's broken."
"I fixed it. MacGyver style!"
haha
Hot damn! Roland Blum is, single-handedly, owning this season! And I'm glad he's doing so, because the whole blacks vs. whites drama and the excessive political squabbles are alienating me from this show. Sure, he's shamelessly loud and flashy, but that's what's keeping this season from falling into an otherwise endless pit of boredom and normalcy. Roland and Adrian are starting to have some interesting chemistry together, and the final scene with them all makes me hope we'll be seeing more of that duo throughout this season.
On the downside of things, I think those intermission songs aren't working for The Good Fight the way they did so wonderfully for BrainDead.
MacGyver fat-fingered that file name. "GUIDANCE,PGM" would probably throw an error on a computer of that era. Filenames were meant to be no more than 8 characters with a 3-character extension, separated by a dot. Not a comma.
Wish John de Lancie had gotten more screen time… Cute episode anyway. François Villars was honestly the most interesting character.
This episode felt rushed and messy, obstacles being set up and solved almost instantly.
I can't possibly know what the show is running towards, but the ride doesn't seem worth it.
We get fun scenes, beautiful visuals and Doug Jones? Sure, but at the expense of really knowing these characters and getting enough time with them. Time to understand and feel with them.
Seems like Star Trek Discovery is establishing itself with nice peak moments, connected by a whole lot of nothing.
Discovery still has potential (and budget) to become a great sci fi show, here's to hoping they'll slow it down eventually.
FINALLY! An issue of post 2000 Star Trek that actually feels like Star Trek!
...that was a nice twist
