"We have no idea how to write a coherent story so we just do another time-skip and be done with it." - Helix Writer's Room
The visuals and aesthetics were great in this as well as the kinetic animation style but the story massively leaves you hanging the twist is already hinted at from the get go anyways.
Going to be the contrarian here but I was bored out of my mind. This is not why I am watching Black Mirror and with the way it was unfolding it didn't really connect with me at all. Mackenzie Davis was also a misscast for me as it's a bit too on the nose considering her role on "Halt and Catch Fire".
Always a good time with the reverend.
I'm sorry: WHAAAAT? This was awful. Not that Supernatural ever was very coherent but this was a rushed, sloppy and frankly a very anticlimatic conclusion to their ordeal... they even had to pull a "and-here-is-how-we-dun-it" to "explain" this mess.
Sam & Dean can apparently take a massive beating from fists powered by such godly energy that when absorbed is enough to transfer the powers over to Jack (who needs build up when you can just give him more OP powers...). Most "powerlevels" were also disregarded for this like Chuck's omniscience and featuring Amara, Death/Lucifer etc.. . And no time for Cas? I know there is another one coming but this had a freaking montage at the end...
Not as terrible in execution as Arkangel but I couldn't help but burst out laughing in one of the key moments due to the stupidity of this where it should have been a moment of tension instead. I mean that this show is an anthology is a good thing but this was on par of British no-budget genre film... if you want me to invest in your setting at least bother to make things to have at least a little bit of sense. Turning it black & white is not enough.
- The dogs technical functions seemed to jump around all the time... This is sort of endless. / Can magically generate and store power forever apparently (since it can still charge from within the factory)... still goes on standby. / Instead of killing the target point blank it prefers to instill a tracking device before it kills the person. / It just hides in the factory.. because robots. / Abandons factory straight away and goes for the target not instilled with a tracking device. / Can at first only track people via tracking device (still kills the other guy and can drive a car just fine however), later on it can still employ a sort-off wallhack (it did the tracking by an endless stream of blood left behind LOL)... however once it was in the house it could not see behind the furniture she was located at. / Can apparently only kill with a weapon(knife here) after it lost it's weapon - scary. / They suddenly swarm the area so they can supposedly communicate with each other, but that isn't really seen in their behavior regardless.
- The reason for getting a teddy this far out can't be made up. If this really was a dangerous world people would have helped themselves differently (and not by leaving the dying kid there). This wasn't just something that happened a few days ago anyways.
- We are supposed to believe this is a world that exist. So obviously she first runs away when the first guy gets attacked, only to stand still to have him tell to run away again on which she still does this as she wouldn't have cared either way.
- These things get rekt by energy drain, paintjobs, trees and are only good in close range. Now this will wipe humanity out for certain...
The mystery... 8ft(!!) below the surface...
Terrible acting, unnatural dialogue and a stupid story to boot. "100s" died in the lake and somehow it takes the ghost of their dead teenage son to get the father back to the lake when they had a vacation home there all along?:rolling_eyes:
Not for me definitely. The breakneck pacing has little regard for characters or a proper plot (so things must be convenient) and in this format more akin to something on SyFy or CBS rather than the ""HBO prime time slot""...
Underlying the FX sample pack with a Gil Scott-Heron song is just tone deaf and quite try hard imho (it didn't fit the scene nor the theme). George served his part as a plot device too apparently so let's commemorate it with killing him off...
I feared this show would be terrible given it's prototype isekai status (or so I'm told) but the key visuals looked quite enticing so I took the "risk" regardless. Now three episodes I'm positively surprised at the comfy fantasy quality the show has going on (alongside the pretty visuals). And while the pervy side of Rudy is slightly off-putting at times it still serves as a reminder that this guy was a hardcore hiki before he was reincarnated and it's nice to see him actually still dealing with his past where as in most other shows in the genre the setup is just the means for self-insert.
This was one hell of a package, no complaints*. The pain in her eyes was real.
*Except for the landlady reaction shot which was way too dramatic for my taste.
Boring, lazy and non-sensical. This is intentionally misleading in a non-smart way. Neither the way it's acted out nor the dialogue (including exposition dump) hold up after the "twist". People around her, including the last victim know about a "nightclub serial killer" and we're even shown a pin wall full of news articles and missing persons stuff with headlines like "bodies found" (+on the computer) with lots of people, yet she is "only" at her 6th victim and hides all the bodies in her vince cellar... And the motive... jesus, what's your problem?.
What a waste of time. This is one of many episodes in the show where the gadget is mainly a plot device and gets very little afterthought but unlike others there is no new idea at play here to make it passable. This is just an underdeveloped clichéd drama.
Ugh... what a twist. Who would have thought that they all turn stupid.
You're not stupid Ilonka? Mhhhh. Honestly, this ending was utter shite. The Shasta storyline just gets conveniently amped up only to get abruptly stalled again and ofc. no one in the house heard or saw all the ambulance or police cars right at the porch... and Ilonka tells them about it only later and then even off screen?? Couldn't take up any episode time silly because we want to instead conclude some character arcs and two lame Midnight Club stories and throw in two more mysteries because this is a faux finale after all~.
AAAAnd they doubled down on the botched ending... I'm not in the loop with the series production but you better hope that there is a good excuse for them having to resolve the story like this. I don't mind that they did what they did here but it doesn't work if you play this after last weeks episode. The trajectory for this was all wrong and it's missing a lot of in between! Kinda hard to fall for the manipulative writing when you have to doubt what is being presented to you. And Sam growing old was not only cheesy pandering but a huge joke that had me laughing because of the unbelievably bad makeup.
Rushing an ending for a show after 15 years is NOT appreciated.
There better be multiple killers because this shit makes no fkn sense and if it's the duo I think of it would still suck...
What a pointless filler episode. Concerned citizen.
I love Berserk but it's impossible not to get triggered by terrible CG (slowmo fiesta) mocking Miura's obsession to detail.
After last weeks slow paced "adventure" in boob sizes of this incompetent gang, we're back to the most dramatic killing of a poor goblin anywhere ever. In addition to that we also get a mild PTSD episode from that. Fucking great... Since everything is so laid back why not add in some montages of static pans of hardly any animation too? There's obviously nothing better than to end this with the guys getting caught peeking at the bath!
I really hope this picks up a notch and isn't just about that twist because otherwise this will turn out really bad.
As if I needed more reasons to drop this boring show.
Consider this:
You wake up in a room. You are bound together with a guy on a chair, back to back. There is a door and a control panel located at one end of the room, a corrugated plastic sheet on the other. What would you do to escape?
A) Try to shift over to the door, headbutt the console and yell for help in the corridor.
Or
B) Anything else.
Yes, you can't make this shit up.
I like how they seem to choose their setups in a way where it's destined to end up as absolute dogshit. By this point even the music choices are forced which was their only redeeming factor.
Quite a strange script for this one but it was passable until it came to the reveal after which it was just embarrassing to watch.
This showed some promise but is unevenly paced and has lore that doesn't make sense unfortunately.
If it weren't for MAPPA at helm I would have dropped this like three times already... At least the show doesn't take it's fake drama serious either. An upcoming tournament arc and one-note upperclassmen getting introduced doesn't really get me any more excited really.
They got Luke WIlson for this..? If this was supposed to help the mythology of the Motel I think they kinda failed as this adds nothing to the show for me.
No Dennis again, little Charlie and Dee but an (decently choreographed) interpretive dance that is tonally from a different show instead. As if the super bowl episodes weren't already meh... not a great season imho.
(I'm aware that this comment will only garner me popularity but this is not the kind of transgressive I want in Sunny. Looking at an interview about this https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/its-always-sunny-mac-dance-season-13-finale.html does only confirm this for me.)
Dear god, dynamic camera movement is fine and all but this had a ridiculous amount of ZOOOOOOM-INS. Couldn't take this serious at all... Probably hard to top this as the ugliest shot and edited episode of 2018.
What a terrible chase scene at the school... I wish the somehow would only have had the "SCREAM" title for a single season where as they now even start to drag titles of other horror and slasher films through the mud in the way of episode names 😠
This is getting more and more painful to watch.
This kinda lacked the punch it needed. Maybe it's because I was constantly bothered by how bad it all looked. Toei certainly doesn't give a shit...
