Best episode so far had so many feels
Fuck this episode for making me rewind to check her hand and then not showing both her hands.
Despite some strange CGI in this episode, TV does wonders to the introduction of Death into the Sandman series.
Hob Gadling's storline is perfect for this medium as well, 10/10 for me
I see what you're doing, show. Having Loki become a master of time travel who turns toward the camera while emphasizing the line "it's WHO". I see, and I am amused. I like how this not only explores who our main cast were before their lives in the TVA, but it's a meta examination of how you can't just recapture the allure of the past without it literally unraveling, and also how the absurd impossibility of fiction is just as essential to science fiction as the science. A really inventive and rich episode. And so many jet skis.
The Energy Vampire High Council is hilarious.
Noo, Max didn't have to die
I was so sure that other couple was sent there to kill them

Who else skipped back to check the hands ?

The Joker getting Bruce Wayne on fucking tax evasion. I love this show.
Probably the best episode since Season 3's "The Escape" (the one with The Sire and gossipy gargoyles). Loved all storylines, and the way they dovetail in the end stretch. That Freaky Friday plot with Nadja/Lil Nadja though... It starts out already great and just keeps escalating non-stop, especially once Colin factors in ("You put acid in my beer again!"), capped off by such joyfully crazy (Cronenberg-esque?) end credit scene. Poor Guillermo (though his previous scene's smile with the pride sign was infectious).
This show needs a warning. I keep eating while watching it and I almost choke to death every time.
This time was Nadja saying "Why don't you write him a suicide letter? (in the most caring and loving way)"
An episode where John Slattery played himself with references to both Mad Men and The Good Fight is an episode after my own heart, and that's just the secondary storyline. The main one with the moving-forward arc plot where they get Guillermo high, and he and Nadja protecting each other? This season has been so good.
'Oh shit, I fucked up. I now have to hypnotise the entire fucking world.'
A bit of a trip down memory lane with visiting old locations and long seen caracters, chasing gypsy curses and family members, walking down the streets in slow motion as Peaky Blinders as well as some beautiful wide shots. Trying to find the point where being stuck in the past tries to overcome the need for change and vice versa. Ever since I realized the series can't handle bigger stakes (and especially the growing reputation of the show) as well as they did smaller ones in the early seasons, this was the best episode which understood where it originally came from, showed how much some characters grown, and reminiscenced about past in a self aware way so it might be able to move forward - hopefully better than they did so far.
Not blood boots!!! I was so saddened by his death, he was the first to support Bruce's improv
A fun pilot episode with the right pacing to establish the setting and characters for what promises to be a good story of worlds colliding. Some good action and fight scenes and smart dialogue to balance comedy and drama together. It's clear the attention to detail with small moments like not wearing shoes in the house as seen by the two brothers.
Big Sun sends killers after Bruce who then goes against his father himself but not to kill him, merely to put an end to the fighting that would leave Charles and Eileen alone. Alexis gets a big win for her case. Charles and Eileen plan to go back to Taiwan to repair the damage done on the triads. Bruce is left back in Los Angeles to continue his studies and stay out of trouble. A solid season finale that wraps up most storylines leaving some open for a potential second season which I hope comes some day. Michelle Yeoh finally gets her own fight scene too which was fun to see after her Oscar winning performance in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Overall a great first season with great acting, writing, action scenes and set designs, "The Brothers Sun" is a show not to miss for the start of the 2024.
The identity of the Rolodex has been revealed. As Mrs. Sun attempts to follow a lead, she's taken hostage and eventually saved by Bruce and the aunties? Yep, you read that right! Bruce unintentionally gets violent in the funniest way. Sadly Charles sleeps with someone who ends up double-crossing him. Kind of saw that coming but still upset that it happened. RIP Blood Boots. :(
The penultimate episode sees multiple storylines converging towards what promises to be a big finale. As the ghosts prepare to meet in Los Angeles, everyone seems to be plotting their own outcomes for the big meeting but hell breaks loose when the Boxers and the feds all show up at the same time. Not surprising at this point to see who's crossing whom and keeping secrets from others. June finally gets her revenge by killing Grace. The Sun family escapes but now Charles is given an impossible task: to kill his brother because Eileen betrayed Big Sun.
