My God… that episode was AMAZING! There’s so much stuff to talk about. First, we now know that Wanda is in (at least 90%) control of everything that happens inside Westview and that Agnes also knows what Wanda is doing and she is (for some unknown reason) just going along with it. Does she have an ulterior motive or is she providing the means necessary to help Wanda? Vision just found out what is happening and he’s both terrified and worried, the woman he loves is controlling and hurting other people to fill her own selfish needs. That’s gonna blow up in her face… eventually. I’m pretty sure there’s a logical –in universe– explanation for the Pietro “recast” and the episode’s full with loads of proof:
You didn't see that coming?
Oh man pure chills down my spine when Vision said "what aren't you telling me?" to Wanda
man I absolutely love this show!!!
Well, this episode got dark very fast.
First, the kids aging up is creepy weird. Second, Wanda emerging from the hex; that's freaky. And for a moment, I thought she was going to kill the head of S.W.O.R.D.
He wants some agency and Wanda isn't giving it to him. He wants to live properly. I'm feeling really sorry for Vision; let the boy be free!
TECHNICAL SCORE: 7/10
ENJOYMENT SCORE: 8/10
OH MY GOD IT'S FUCKING PIETRO!!!! EVAN PETERS PIETRO! Lowkey wish it was Aaron Taylor Johnson tho...... BUT I KNEW IT. Every time the door bell ring, I always wish it was Pietro and it wasn't, but I kept thinking 'oh, it's coming alright, it's coming' and then BOOM.
Also, I have never been more scared of Vision until he raised his voice as he argue with Wanda, like..... shit, I'm genuinely scared.
Spoiler Warning: Agnes: do you want to take it from the top ? Wanda looked nervous that Agnes knows what is going on. Great scene.
Plus Agnes probably killed the dog. I think Agnes is who Vision’s co-worker is afraid of, not Wanda.
Awesome 80’s like opening credits as well. Such an awesome episode. Quicksilver from the Fox X-Men movies. So weird.
OMFG! Its rare that I have a total full-blown unrepentant geekasm, but the last five seconds of this episode are the best five seconds of television since Buffy sang in a musical.
Holy crap... That episode was great! Evan Peters Pietro, but in the MCU? I am bonkers confused.
I love that Vision's finally figured it out. Also, baby Vision just crept me the fuck out.
Oh and also the part where Agnes slipped out of character was so, so good.
This felt a bit stronger than the pilot episode, but I’m still on the fence. It felt more like a jumble of disparate (but good) story ideas than a cohesive whole. I think the problem I have with this series, so far, is that we are joining it in media res. That’s an okay storytelling device sometimes, but with this series I think the story would have been better served if it had just started six months back with debris falling for the first time. Or with the first sighting of the ship. Having the story set at a time when there’s already an Orbital organization with a team ready and able to test debris levels and (somehow) shut them down via an app just feels like it cheapens things a bit too much. You shouldn’t be able to disable the weekly McGuffin with the press of a button.
I guess the Nattering Nabob's of Negativity have never heard of a "filler" episode, that is, one that doesn't add much to the advancement of MAIN the storyline, but, (if you look closely) does add to the information we currently have. To wit:
The Debris has cloning capability, thus a potential explanation for Finola's Papa being corpus vivum, rather than corpus mortuum.
The Debris DOES NOT have to come into contact with you to generate a clone.
The Clones are IMPERFECT segments of the whole personality of the original.
The Debris can manipulate and move surrounding metal materials to create primitive constructs as needed, although unfortunately, they shut it down before it actually did what it was trying to do. (heal the original, or transport him elsewhere???)
Transcription errors (e.g. Brundlefly) can occur if multiple data sets are introduced at the same time.
There are agendas WITHIN agendas on both the CIA and MI6 sides of the "cooperative" arrangements, with plenty of duplicitous liars all around.
Bryan (for now) is willing to play along, but, it looks like he may have a line he won't cross.
And last but not least,........ PEEPS!!

If only there was someone that had experience in rebuilding faces that could be motivated to help Kate out...
If that actually happens it'll look like it was all planned out from the start of the show, which would be funny as well as proof that the writers here know a thing or two, even if I thought they were dropping the ball with how meh S1 Kate was - also, very good on them for calling out how Kate kept making up excuses for letting Alice get away.
Great episode! This one I found to be of particular note. In a previous episode I was critical of a particular topic and some say it was Aram joking around. However in this episode there was a very clear distinction of Aram's wit and humour and it made me LOL, that's the Aram I remember (and the writing). Then we had a particularly intense moment pulling out all stops with Redington. I really love Spader in this role... Simply just Nails it Every time. Not too mention the writing is usually good, but this was exceptional. Too good to miss this episode.
Another good episode, I love the way the show balances all the characters. The brothers relationship is great and family drama is not overdone and actually concludes in a reasonable way. Finding out that Captain Luthor was married to Lois in his world is a great twist. Just a shame we have to wait 2 months for the next episode!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
"How is my phone suddenly working?!" - winning line of the episode.
All in all, a decent head-shrinker episode with a sprinkling of comedy and action. I was entertained and only dozed off once. Also, didn't really see it before, but Safiya is actually kinda spicy, bit like a slow calculated burn... she seems to just make everyone as hot and bothered as she is... although, on a scoville scale, she'd be more of a Ghost Pepper while Alice is an out of control Carolina Reaper... LOL!
Yes, we're all mad here (you too!), you've got to be to keep watching this show.
Talk about re-opening old wounds -- and, I don't mean Ocean.
So Alice was held captive on an island when everybody thought she was drowned to dead, she learned to fight there and kinda gained superstrength. There is also some miracuru.. I mean miracle flower there. We get to see this with flashbacks bit by bit. Anybody watched Arrow yet?
ok but no one remembered to take a pic of the map before it was taken from them? c'mon it's 2021
The name of the big, evil ship is one of those incredibly on-the-nose things where I have to remind my adult ass that this is a kids show, and also Star Wars has always been incredibly on-the-nose. It helps when you get byproducts like this episode title, which somehow manages to be both ridiculous and cool.
It's like they want to have the show be like what comic books use to be. Like they aren't reimaginating the stories to fit some new socio-political agenda.
I thought the fighting was pretty good. He sure does take a kicking though. Who the hell was that guy?
Stop voting before the episode airs, you idiots!
I hadn't enjoyed an episode of the Blacklist this much in a long time. Beautiful tribute.
So Batwoman knocks out serial killer/hitman Victor Szasz, then takes off leaving him on the ground, yup that makes sense.
Great one, I'm really impressed by how this show defies the longevity curse most TV shows go through.
I'm sad that Alex is gone, but I guess it's understandable due to the accusations he was facing.
This season has been beyond my expectations for a SCIFI show. It's going to be very hard to match it once it's finally over. I'm very thankful they picked it up for one more season to wrap stuff up
Totally lost it at Holden's face when Amos brings aboard their new crewmate, laughing until my sides hurt!
Camina turning the tables was just great!
I would have prefered it if she just shot the bitch(sorry for the term, but it fits) from behind without making a fuss.
And yes, of course she knew what would happen.I think it is amazing how people who fought for their freedom not long ago are this willing to go under Marcos banner, who is a tyrant at best and a slavemaster at worst.
Oksana leaving would have upset me at the beginning of the season, but at this point her cowardess started to really go on my nerves anyway. So good ridance.
I think they closed the small storylines well and are set up pretty well to close the big final one in Season 6.
Very close to perfection. The whole season has alternated between poignant build-up and fast-paced resolutions, and this one had good amounts of both.
I'm looking forward to next season potentially having two big villains "out there". If Marco was bad news, what to make of someone who looks at their Starship Troopers society and thinks "hmm... look at all these deviants with their tokens of individuality under their uniforms, we need to achieve real purity" :sweat_smile:
And at least someone finally acknowledged Chrisjen has "come a long way" since her S1 "Earth must come first" Belter-torturing self.
I can't even begin to describe how heartbroken I am that Alex died. He was such a kind and loving man and to kill him like this without even letting him make up with his family was just cruel. I will miss this space cowboy so much, he deserved way better.
Holden's face when he saw Clarissa was absolutely priceless.
For me this season was much better than the previous one, and it seems S6 is going to be one the best seasons of television.
