The score when Lucy saw the NCR flag… chills! I have nothing against Ramin Djawadi, he really know how to make a great score, but the show is very much missing out without the ambient music made by the dudes who composed the games.
The show is great so far, my tiniest complaint is that there is no epic title sequence.
Our Lucy is just starting to figure things out. By the way, that iron man fell in love with Maximus :joy: This episode flowed like water.
Repairing a power armor component only costs 5 caps? I feel so ripped off right now.
It's all about reunion, nothing else.
Embedded in a predictable, simple-minded and obscure framework they call 'story'.
I don't exaggerate when I consider Michael emotionally instable. It's no surprise that she acted irrational this time, considering the circumstances, so I absolutely don't get why her superiors would give her the opportunity to cause severe damages. Again.
Not to mention that pinning her mom made no sense anyway. They couldn't keep her permanently anyway and she shared the information she was willed to share. So what exactly could the Starfleet gain by ignoring her request to let her leave? Correct, absolutely nothing.
This season's plot is just bad. Really bad.
I mean God Damn Drummer is BADASS
but now we have 2 episodes left.. I feel like there's soooooo many things we didn't explore.. 2 episodes won't cut it
The only positive aspect is the ship. But that's enough.
A lot of these comments are talking about Vanya changing pronouns and name as if she died, like y’all do realize Viktor is the exact same character from the previous seasons? Nothing major has really changed. I liked how casual they treated his coming out too, it doesn’t always have to be this huge thing. Very refreshing.
Really going in the right direction, with more classic Star Trek plots, space anomalies, unknown species, and some indications of recovering TOS canon. Also: no boring Klingons and we are now officially "In Search Of Spock" ;-)
Yikes. Horrible casting choices. Only the queen's older version feels like the same character. They either should have jumped earlier in the season or waited until season two. After kind of enjoying last week's episode I'm back to my overall impression of this being a poorly written and executed show.
the season finale was a bit less cringy and a bit darker than usual...anyways I'm still looking forward to the prequel spinoff Greg the Egg, the origin story of a little Machiavellian fuck
It's weird, I can appreciate that, functionally, this was an excellent conclusion and yet, because of how invested we are in these characters, it doesn't feel enough. I don't think it could ever feel enough.
Don't think I didn't notice the book Ted was reading at the end, though.
Doctor Who doesn't get any better than this episode. Forget the Daleks and anything else that you might consider 'scary', this is the real stuff. And such a clever writing. Incredible. Episodes as this, are what defines Doctor Who's cult status.
Good finale.
Despite some stellar episodes, overall I find this season a step-down though. First season is like an accumulation of many small encounters/interactions that makes up a truly unique, refreshing ethos of TV. I liked that they are more ambitious and don't want to repeat themselves with this second season, but in having several big-picture character arcs, I feel the episode-to-episode writing isn't strong enough for that kind of expansion, with their storytelling a bit lumpy, and strained sometimes where the previous one feels effortless. Still enjoyed it a lot, and looking forwards how they progress with a full-blown villain in the next one.
Everybody should be watching, talking about and reflecting on the Morning Show
I said that if there is a show that knows how to balance Mitch by putting him on a path of redemption but not letting us giving or him getting the forgiveness, it's this show. And they fucking nailed it. Slow season, at this point I'm not sure how or when things will explode - if they explode at all, because they seem to be stuck with deep characterizations (two weeks ago Alex, last week Bradley, now Mitch, and I'm hoping for Cory next week) amplifying eachother rather than building tensions (even 2020 and covid is just silently in the background, rarely being important), but it's working well, even if it's not that striking than the first season.
And as always with this show: Julia Garner is the absolute standout as Ruth. She is goddamn fantastic.
Aside from Park Eun Bin's acting, I also love the cast's portrayal and their dynamics with Atty Woo. Woo's best friend is the funniest here hahaha. There are also heartwarming moments you don't wanna miss. Very great delivery for a pilot ep.
Sometimes a show can make you realize, you weren’t just supposed to be skipping along and watching each episode as they come. You were supposed to take a minute, and enjoy the side quests. We aren’t supposed to watch a tv show for the destination.
I simply don't like stories that are primarily exciting because everyone seems to go crazy. This episode was terrible.
serena is a case study in cognitive dissonance oh my god
I don't get why all the hate. Was it the greatest episode in the history of mankind? No. Was it good, enjoyable, on par with most of the show? Yes. And a great prologue for next season, too.
Danny Rand meets Misty Knight. The pinnacle of dumb and annoying.
With this episode Wandavision finally has the same issue as the Mandalorian.
The exciting element isn't a developing plot, it's about (well known) characters making their appearance.
The main difference is that Wandavision required almost a full season for the introduction of two new characters with super powers. Besides this, not too much really happened since episode 1.
Very short episode, with barely any events. This series generally seems to be more about iconic characters being included, played by fan favorite actors and actresses.
It's not bad, but it could be a lot more than this "meme generator".
I'll take a whole episode where Reno, Linus, and Number One are sent on a shuttle mission together, please. Suddenly, this show is cranking out one solid supporting character after the other.
I love that Pike effectively gifted Kirk a ship that was gutted to be more old school than the rest of the fleet because he was sick and tired of all the new tech malfunctioning. And because he was scared of ghosts.
THEY PROMISED ME ZOMBIES AND ALL I HAVE NOW IS DEPRESSION
What a beautiful episode, I don't remember an episode like this for years, very well done, just perfect.
Which version do you prefer? The Game or the Show? I will have to go with the show, its more happy, kinda.
The newly introduced character of Ulana Khomyuk is an amalgamation of several actual characters who worked with Legasov to prevent the second explosion. Even though she is fictional, she provides invaluable insight into the even greater danger of a potential second explosion. The possibility of that second explosion is fact. It would have happened if not for the bravery of the three men who volunteered to drain the water tanks.
The conflict between Legasov and Shcherbina was remarkable. This series continues to amaze with its recreation of the event, but adds just the right amount of dramatization without being offensive to those of us who find the facts as, if not more important, than just being entertained.
