I’m still trying to piece this together but failing miserably. Here’s what I’ve got:
They (the cult members) are angels. They were once living but after death come back to do God’s will. Leanne, like her Uncle and the other cult members, is an angel. She died (we saw her grave) but at some point after she came back she decided of her own accord to come to Dorothy and Sean, to restore Jericho to them, which wasn’t her mission. The baby she brought to them really was Jericho, returned from the dead just like her, her uncle, the other cult members, etc (the angels). The cult has taken Jericho because he’s supposed to be with them, his kind. Dorothy is sinning in that she keeps trying to interfere with the angels’ work and therefore (in their view) keeps meddling with God’s plan.
Another great episode!! Warming up to Cara’s character and she’s fitting in better (genuinely wondering if her previous appearances being in the same eps as Schumer biased how I felt about her tbh). I still wish she and Mabel had better chemistry but this is a better step!
The murder mystery is fun as always and I enjoyed the red herrings; can’t wait for the next episode.
I don’t get the Cara Delevingne hate. More tolerable than Amy Schumer.
DON'T stay for the post credits scene, otherwise a cough stellar season finale.
Another brilliant episode of tv. This season has just been knocking it out of the park imo. The wait was worth it.
Man, watching those scenes in 2025 were so hard. Honestly, as much as I want to see more of Gordon on this show, I don't think the crew made the right decision here. I hope that LaMarr was right about there being alternate timelines in this universe, because I really hope that future still exists out there in some form. I don't think he was being selfish at all.
Oh boy I'm loving this series.
This episode actually made me audibly gasp with THAT scene. I'm heartbroken for how Leanor said his vows with that broken voice, he didn't deserve any of it.
Although I loved the episode, I think it's very strange that:
1. Two blokes threw Leanor, the betrothed and guest of honor, across a table and no one seemed to care (imagine someone doing that to fucking Margaery Tyrell as Joffrey began to choke)
2. The guards did nothing to protect Rhaenyra (supposably there is at least 6 guys, not counting Cole)
3. Cole murdered a guest of honor and just walked away from it, not a single guard tried to imprison him (imagine if in the Purple Wedding Merryn Trant started beating Loras Tyrell out of the blue)
Peace talks with a once hostile race, sabotaged by opposing populist fractions, humans suddenly caught in their inner political uphevels, a society at the brink of civil war. Such a plot isn't innovative. Call them Cardassians (or Romulans or Klingons) and you'll have a very classic Star Trek episode. It's a good variation of this topic though. It's shot and produced beautifully. Costumes, masks, stage design is nice to look at. The alien planet looks like a gaming PC case modder and a night club interior designer had a love child. I like. Earth is intriguing too. Space fights look fantastic. Picture the battles from DS9's Cardassian wars with modern FX in HQ.
By now it's clear that this is a serious show. Almost every element that made it a comedy/parody is gone (The joke about intoxicated commanding officers ain't bad though).
Like the second season before it, the third season opener time jumps another decade. A jam packed montage reveals some of the surprising changes in this alternate timeline:
And within For All Mankind's lead characters, there have been some major developments:
This season opener lays out its cards, a very ambitious one. The rest of the episodes is a bit pedestrian as it rehashes Sandra Bullock's Gravity meets Titanic. But what a deck of cards!
So, let me see what we got here.
A stupid "hommage" scene to Star Trek IV that wasn't funny.
A muscle packed Guinan who's given up on humanity. Since Q changed the actual timeline and not created a fantasy, how does that actually work that she doesn't recognize Picard althought they have met in "Time's Arrow" ?
A totally unnecessary car chase scene with the usual amount of smart comments. Seems like Raffi and Seven are now the comedic relief.
More on-the-nose comments about contemporary earth. I miss the old episodes where you actually had to use your brain to make connections instead of being served pre-chewed food on a silver plate.
And at the end we see Orla Brady as (supposedly) The Watcher. Something that, in my opinion, seems to be just to have a role for her to play. Because I don't believe she's anything else than the Laris we've seen so far in the normal timeline.
I do feel sorry for Annie Wersching who's only hanging around (literally) instead of actually doing something.
It's a mess at this point.
All those little service robots? Adorable! The Kid? In a space ship? Awesome! The kid eating? Cute! The kid using the force in battle? Great! The Mandalorian (the shiny one)? Cool! The little green alien man without a name? Intimidating! The other aliens? Astonishingly creative costumes and make up! Nice too look at!
The 80s Gothic Vespa/Cyberpunk gang? Stupid. Fennec? Boring! Boba? Couldn't care less!
How did they get that wrong? Constantly? I'm attached to every little service robot a lot more than to Boba...
Plus, it's a weak finale. All that alliance building, diplomacy, politics, befriending local townsmen, Boba in the back story shown as a man who became wiser and more experienced, all that parcours training was totally inconsequential. In the end, it was raw firepower of two guys in an armour and ä donated (!) beast. Yeah, I know it's stupid Star Wars and they love their lasers, but it feels pointless. Plus, the HAL killing robot's aim is extremely poor.
This week's scene of Christina Ricci pushing Juliette Lewis away to snort the latter's coke is worth the price of greenlighting this show alone.
Would really love to know what Cliff said after "Sayonara." Hulu lazily subtitled that line as "[speaking foreign language]"…
Peacemaker is unlike anything either Marvel or DC have ever put out in this new era of content, and that's a great thing. James Gunn returns to write this series, and proves once again he's a master, combining good characters, great dialogue, fun and a hell of a soundtrack. Only James Gunn could set a fight scene to slow romantic tunes of The Quireboys. John Cena has great comedic sensibilities, and this role is perfect for him.
There's a lot here to like, and a lot of potential. I'm hoping we can get this Peacemaker in DC Comics (the actual comics) in his own series, moving forward.
This episode is phenomenal! We follow Din Djarin after the events of The Mandalorian season 2 finale, as he learns how to use the Dark Saber. This episode does a great job continuity-wise in referencing what happened to Mandalore in Star Wars: Rebels! The cinematography in this episode was mind-blowingly beautiful! And near the end, as he was testing his new Naboo Starfighter, I got a little Phantom-Menace-Podracing-scene vibe from it. After that, he met up with Fennec Shand, and he said he will help Boba free of charge, but he has to see a "little friend" first! GROGU REUNION! Can't wait for the next episode!
A controversial ending that I'm sure will receive a lot of hate, but I personally loved it.
Dexter has broken down, mentally and physically throughout New Blood, and his son was his final hope of gaining happiness or the prospect of a happy life. But acknowledging that he deserved to die for the betterment of Harrison is the most noble thing he could have done, and it almost brought a tear to my eye. love it or hate it. But some of the best ones often are. It will be studied and analysed for years to come, and I hope people who dislike it so much may come to like it more someday.
Farewell to an amazing show, and an amazing character.
Of all the things they could have had the kid use as a game console (PSP, PS VITA, Nintendo Switch...), they decided to go with a 1991 Atari Lynx II?
Such a weirdly odd choice. Truly bizarre, lol.
I may never understand why Sam doesn't sell the boat Norm bought him with that roulette money last season, instead of his Corvette.
The first episode of the show I can fully recommend! It's nice to see that everything is getting together even there are still differences to the books. Nice that Rand was finally revealed as the reborn dragon. Need to watch the previous episodes again because I didn't recognised his use of the power before.
I don't think I've ever been left this speechless by a show before, what a climax, wow!!
Absolutely loved seeing the care and thought that went into the final episode of Season 2. Appreciate the consideration from Favreau on how the technology of deepfakes can be used for good or for ill, and making sure that artists like this group are using it for the right reasons while at the same time, thinking about how to technologically keep things under control in the future in the interest of maintaining truthfulness.
Excellent job by all involved.
Not big expert on deepfakes, but how did they manage to attach Katarina's face and voice to another body (video) when there has been no trace of her in the past 20+ years, or any records of her photos or voice? That one was a bit stupid.
That was a good episode, did anyone else see that coming or sort of? I knew something was wrong or off with Hannah before but not fully. Then I figured out earlier in this episode that she broke her neck when they made that sound as she bent her neck, then a bit after that when they showed the crack in mossy stone I figured a well, then when I had seen her approaching Miles standing by a well, I knew this is it, I was correct. However I did NOT remember nor realize that it would be the beginning of the season. That was well put together! (See what I did there?) :wink:
One side note that I thought that I'd mention now before I get into the next episode. I find it peculiar that at the start of every episode they show all of the people in the painted portraits as becoming dead.
The highlights of this episode include Villanelle serving major looks (that blue dress at the beginning was * chef's kiss * incredible), Fiona Shaw's acting in the car scene, and our favorite duo finding out that the other is alive. Also, generally I see myself as a person who's not capable of murder, but not gonna lie, I would consider it for a banging apartment in Barcelona (the aesthetic of that place? Unmatched). Also also, what do we think of Yara Greyjoy as Carolyn's daughter? I didn't even know she had another kid. She seems way too normal for this show, there must be something more to her than meets the eye. Overall, a rather slow episode, but not a bad one.
It's so hard to heap enough praise on this show and do it justice. The complexity of the story, the beauty of the land. The cinematography, direction, acting from the stars to the extras, and crew giving 100% to the production of this masterpiece, it's such a pleasure to watch.
Such a beautifully told story.
People of the earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled through the world on a silvery light
Congressional GOP are (still) in disarray
And now: Coming up on 'Inside Edition'
Main story: student loans (Hint: it's actually Latvia. Plus: parts of European Turkey and Cyprus made it on the map but Kaliningrad didn't?? Plus: did Northern Ireland invade County Donegal? Joke's on you, John!)
And now: Coming up on 'Inside Edition'. Just Taylor Swift stories.
This episode is definitely slower than the first two but still keeps up the quality and further builds the mystery around Jo and what happened on the ISS. The story is very intriguing I must say. I also noticed that this episode was directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, who directed my favorite German film „Der Untergang“. So this is nice to see as well.
