A great start into season 6 :) Nothing too special but a nice introduction with a few new elements and a lot of awesome CGI scenes.
It often made me miss Alex though but that seems intended.
I'm also curious to see what Avasarala has in store and hope that we'll get a few interesting scenes at the new colony (where that scene with the little girl at the beginning took place). I guess that place should become quite relevant during this season. I just hope that five more episodes will be enough to provide a satisfying conclusion for this show.

@dahj also: It feels like there's so much potential for character development left:
- Naomi, Amos, and Peaches figuring out how to get along
- Bobbie rejoining the action (possibly the Roccinante)
- A lot could happen at the new colony (could be told in an exploratory way, similar to "Lost in Space" but without that annoying psychologist/psycho please).
- Philip has a lot of options. His father had a pretty bad influence on him but it seems like Philip finally has enough of that. Him shooting his friend in anger sucked though.
Oh, thank god no big stupid fight with the Bad guy. A breath of fresh air. I wish similar thing would have happened in WandaVision.
Almost perfect final episode. Except for
Rick SanchezHe Who Remains choice of... let's call it attitude. Don't get me wrong positively surprised that he wasn't your typical bad guy, but it didn't quite work for the MCU too joyful and too similar to your average Marvel character in general. Maybe if he actually looked bored or tired that would have worked better. This way Ant-man villain could still feel different by being menacing this time around. But anyway it was a great MCU show I'm looking forward to season 2.loading replies
To me He sounded and looked quite suicidal.
Honestly this episode could have been condensed into 5 or 10 minutes. Too much talking and just in general nothing really going on until the end, and then we get a predictable plot twist. I mean just a bad season finale. It just sprinkles enough at the end to keep you interested for the second season. Unless season two is better, this show ain’t worth it at all. But on the other hand I’m tired of waiting for the second season every damn time. It used to be that the pilot is supposed to hook you. And don’t get me started how much of a scam 6 episodes in one season is.
Overall this episode was just meh, which doesn’t make it look very good since it’s the season finale.loading replies
@wingedmando bro are you kidding? It’s fucking kang the conqueror! This is like if thanos was introduced in a season finale
what a disappointing finale to a show that has been mostly lacklustre. Loki and Syvie spent most of it sitting down and talking which doesn't exactly make for an exciting episode. some questions were answered, but we were still left with more questions than answers. the reveal of Kang as the one behind the TVA was expected but was still underwhelming for several reasons. not once was he referred to as Kang, he wasn't wearing his iconic armour from the comics and the actor playing him came across as too jovial when Kang should be menacing.
oh well, Loki and Syvie finally kiss, so at least the shippers will be happy

@quasar1967 ok, if you just want excitement, watch endgame or porn but this show is not meant for audience to be excited all the time. You don't like talking? Then don't expect to love it. It doesn't have to be fight scenes all the time. This just goes to show that Marvel is looking how mindful the audience are. and of course, how sure are you it is Kang? it can be but he literally mentioned that there are other versions of him.
question, how do you embarrass, humiliate and emasculate a once beloved character in just 1 episode?
answer, have him punched in the face and kneed in the groin over and over by Sif because Marvel thinks it's funnyloading replies
@quasar1967 Did you miss the time Hulk smashed him repeatedly and called him a puny god? It’s not the first time Loki got beat down, in fact, he got punched in every movies he’s in and every episode of this series.
This was more confusing than compelling. Too talky.

@the_argentinian Confusing? I mean... lol... Only if you weren't actually watching it.
It hurts. They've put in some nice little nods to the original series, and the opening scene is nice, but then they crank up the language for no good reason. Does he really need to make a comment when they're going through the gate at the beginning? Spike would have stuffed his face with food instead of asking if he could eat. Why the heck is Faye already making an appearance? Why have the big-bad show up this early? I definitely want to see how they've done some of the other bounties they've hinted at, but I'm afraid it would just hurt too much to keep watching.
loading replies
@strivinglife I hated Faye and Vicious showing up so early, but you forget that Spike hates the pepper noodles, because it's supposed to have beef in it.

VIP8Man, Teagan Croft looks so grown up all of a sudden. I almost didn't recognize her at first.
I'm glad Donna and Rachel are finally back. Can't wait for them to rejoin the team. Donna, Rachel, Starfire and Barbara all together on one screen will be epic.
loading replies
@aniela-krajewska Same, though characterization helps a bit too. Hair and clothes (after she changes back into her own) seem more somber now. I look forward to how they will fit with the rest of the team. I'm guessing at least Donna might have a hard time adjusting.
The Atom looks like a copy of Ant-man
loading replies
@the_argentinian did you know The Atom was created before Ant-Man? a lot of heroes and villains from Marvel and DC are copies from each other to try to sell more comics.
I hope this cliffhanger was due to COVID - if not: You suck writers
Cliffhanger finales are only acceptable under a single circumstance and that is when the show was already renewed when the finale was written.
There are so many shows which ended on a cliffhanger. When will the responsible parties understand? It does not help! With at least 6 months between seasons most people aren't awaiting the next episode more at that time - it just pisses people like me off.

@player8472 It was. COVID hit just as they were starting to shoot episode 10.
The politics here and their mention are cringe-inducing as is the inconsistent dealing with violence. Falcon - ahem, Captain America - standing around and didactically lecturing the politicians is some of the most gag-inducing material that I've seen in a long time. (Even more so when we learn that he actually changed their minds. Talk about Talk No Jutsu...) The kind of naivete that would be notable even in animated kids' movies. Reminder that the MCU for all its strength is ultimately creatively bankrupt and can't do good storytelling for shit. Also, the only half-decent villain they've written in terms of ideology is Zemo. Karli is just plain fucking annoying as is how Sam thinks of her.

@wildbear If you think racism is simply 'politics', then clearly 90% of this show has gone over your head completely.

Why you mad? You hear something that makes sense? Didn't fit in your beliefs? Get out of your hate bubble. You seem miserable. And by the way, if your think the mcu is creatively bankrupt, how about you do better? You won't.
As my wife aptly said after the conclusion of the episode, "there's plenty of action but not a lot of story here." There are certainly a lot of great moments and a good bit of mystery, but it feels more like a trailer for whats coming then a its own story.

@bondless Probably building up to Walker who wants to be good, turning to the bad side more.

I disagree with you, and your wife. Of course it's a set up for more to come. Which is always a good thing when it comes to the MCU. Sometimes I think you guys forget what Marvel is all about. Smh.
Talk talk talk talk, empty episode.

@cihacoba ^This guy doesn't get how TV or writing works.
Let me get this straight: Sam and Bucky just got upset about John Walker killing a terrorist.
Didn’t this entire show start with Sam throwing terrorists out of planes left and right?
The writing in this show is just laughable.
Everything happens because the writers want it to happen.
Like literally nothing, and I mean nothing, feels earned or logical.loading replies
@jordyep They weren't "upset" about him killing that kid lol. They even said "we get it" or something along the way. Sam and Bucky wanted the shield back and nothing more. John Walker got repercussions because he's an active member of the US military that got recorded killing a kid in cold blood in a foreign country that happens to be in Europe. Sam was a paid mercenary killing other mercenaries over the skies bordering two war-torn Middle East countries. If you think those are the same scenarios then i'm sorry for you.

@sinsinwar There's always need for character and story development which means taking the time to slow down every once and a while and letting things build. None of what I saw in the episode seemed impaired by COVID restrictions, like what you see on The Walking Dead these last few episodes for example. Plenty of large cast gathering on the same set, plenty of people being near each other while talking, etc.

What a gasbag filler of an episode?! I really went into the series expecting action on a grand scale, especially considering the huge budget. But then we get this. These are the same guys who were a part of the Avengers who were fighting Thanos and I was blown away seeing endgame, and now we get this whimper. Sorry but this gets worst with every episode for me considering the high expectations and the terrific opening fight sequence in the first episode. The plot is stretched so thin with some seemingly useless side quests. And then towards the end, some corny life lessons shared by the Falcon and Bucky while tossing that Frisbee around..... Sorry if this feels like a rant but I expected more, just my opinion....
Edit: Also who is the villain again? At least I hope there is a good boss level fight sequence in the last episode...loading replies
@mattdeezly1996 I watch the show with subtitles so I know the man Sharon makes the deal is the one who's helping Karlie, his name is Batroc. Edit: I didn't put in spoilers because it was literally written on the subtitles.

@traktkumar This guy is expecting all action and no story. Sorry, that's why these shows exist to add more flesh to the stories than existed before. This was probably the best episode yet.

@traktkumar also these things happened in the "Filler" episode
0- That absolutely amazing fight scene between Bucky, Sam & Walker
1- Walker has a court hearing and is discharged, then its implied he's going rogue.
2- Walker is discharged and talks with a mysterious woman who knows a little too much about everything.
3- Sharon seals a deal with someone on the phone
4- Sam confronts the history of black super soldiers in America, and the repercussions of what it means for a black man to have the shield.
5- They fix a boat (ok thats filler)
6- Sam & Bucky have a talk giving Bucky a moment of realization about coming to terms with his past, while also allowing both of them to reflect on what the shield stands for and its complicated history.
7- Karlie gets in contact with the man Sam screwed over in episode 1, and it appears he's out to kill him
8- The flag smashers are now in New York and begin a raid on a big (basically) UN summit.
IDK. Seems like a lot happened in this episode. Not all action but lots of plot nonetheless

@traktkumar Hey. I'd like to welcome you to the world of TV shows.
TV shows have multiple episodes spread across a span of time.
This allows the writers to integrate slower paced moments into the narrative, and allow for more character development then a compressed 2 hour movie. They have more time to build the world up instead of just going full throttle. If you're into mindless nonstop fighting and explosions then cool. But I actually like learning a little about what makes these character's tick. It just makes me care more tbh

@traktkumar It continues the story from last week. With Falcon and Winter Soldier going after Walker.
I am not sure how that’s a filler.

@traktkumar TV series will never be like the movies, so you should stop watching and stick to re-watching the Avengers movies for the umpteenth time.
I for one am glad it's not a generic procedural about a different mission every week like The Blacklist.
"corny life lesson"? Wow, you didn't learn anything. Sad.
Ahhhhhh i’m so happy they are not shying away from the tough conversations on what it means to be Captain America in this decade. I love symbolism in storytelling and there’s no stronger symbol than that shield, and the way they have used it as a vehicle and representative of the different American identities (good and (really) bad) has been incredible.
Steve Rogers, John Walker, Sam Wilson and Isaiah Bradley all represent sides of the US that co-exist, and John Walker being the effective Captain America for most of this show isn’t accidental - he’s the side of America that’s most present and salient right now (in the world off the screen), but ending the show with Sam Wilson carrying that shield - and going through all the issues that that might bring up - is as powerful a message as any - one of hope and of what the US should aspire to be. Steve Rogers is no longer enough, Steve Rogers is the American Dream - Isaiah Bradley the American Reality - and Sam Wilson is both. This show, and all of Captain America’s storyline, is about so much more than just men in spandex and they’ve done a fantastic job taking it even further here. Glad Marvel is still delivering after so many years, makes me proud to be a fan!
