The lack of screen time for our main character here is a testament to how uninteresting he is. And these Marvel show episodes typically end with a solid, fairly-intense cliffhanger. This one? Luke gets sued.
Sounds about right.
That last scene between Luke and Claire was painful to watch — and not because I was overwhelmed with emotion. I just don’t buy into all the over-the-top melodrama. And why does Claire care so much about the father stuff? It’s all just a bit much.
Luke is 100% the least charismatic Defender. It almost makes complete sense how this episode barely focused on him. It wouldn’t be entertaining otherwise. This show is held up by its female characters... Mariah... Misty... and Claire, when she’s not with Luke. Go figure.
I am, however, into this new guy with his own mysterious set of powers. Curious to see where that goes. But other than him and the ladies... this just isn’t a strong series.
I hate Luke’s one-liners with a fiery passion. Super cheesy.
I like gruff. Not Christian Bale/Batman gruff. Bernthal is coming awfully close to Christian Bale/Batman gruff.
I despise the whispering at tribal. That was never a thing before. They used to remain seated, uncertain, and had to rely on the trust of their alliances to vote accordingly, after a day of deliberating. That was fun to watch. This sudden, last-minute, inordinately-long scrambling with each other... is not.
Was never the biggest fan of Adam, but my heart hurt for him here.
Calista Flockhart + Lisa Kudrow = Perfection
I love you so much, Ally McBeal.
I doubt anyone will see this review, but I just came to say that Lisa Kudrow is an absolute TREASURE. ‘Web Therapy’ may not have been a mega hit, but its little dose of levity is quite needed these days.
And who doesn’t love Gwyneth?!
I wish the ending could have been stronger, but this outing probably feels like the most Twilight Zone-y episode out of all of ‘em in this reboot. It doesn’t hurt that the “To Serve Man” aliens are back! One of my fave OG episodes.
Kristen Wiig is still a riot.
Badass episode. Definitely my fave of the season. Maybe even the entire series.
I think I’m realizing that I’m purely anti-Serac. He reminds me of Thanos... good intentions (in his own mind), evil execution. But if it comes down to Maeve and Dolores, I’m :pound_symbol:TeamMaeve all the way. And that girl is PISSED.
Regardless, I’m living for all the strong female characters in this show.
Maeve! How I’ve missed you. How I’ve forgotten how pivotal you‘ve been to my enjoyment of this series. Maeve IS Westworld. Dolores who?
MUCH better episode than the premiere. As much as I DO enjoy Dolores, this episode proves how much more compelling and complex Maeve is as a character. And I looooooove how they’re building to a head-to-head between these two women.
Team Maeve, all the way.
I had read that this season wouldn’t be as confusing/complicated.
Ummmmmmm...
This might’ve been the most confusing premiere yet. :pound_symbol:wtfdidijustwatch
I can barely get my Uber driver to pick me up on the right street corner, let alone give him coordinates.
The amount of disbelief you have to suspend for this show is outrageous.
Who woulda thunk you’d ever root for Annie Wilkes? Strange, but incredibly fun.
I was ecstatic to see the connection to the first season. We were left with questions that I thought would never get answered, but it looks like they just might after all.
Great to see Bill underneath that hood.
A standout episode. I love how this is giving us so much incredible backstory on such an iconic film character. It makes me so excited to see where this show ventures next season, and the season after, considering all of King’s iconic characters.
And kudos to all of the casting this season. Stellar.
@LegendaryFang56, you read my mind. The three people who were hung made no sense to me either. I had no idea where they were and why that even happened. It felt like it should’ve been an impactful scene, but it wasn’t. Seems like there have been a few unexplained moments like that in this final season.
It took five episodes, but it look like we’re finally getting started...
Between Starr’s ear, the pilot’s sunburn, his chewed-off arm, and Cassidy ripping the skin off his hands... I’m gonna vomit.
That ear is VERY distracting.
It wasn’t a particularly funny episode of SNL, but it certainly is a memorable one.
I’m a liiiiiiittle disappointed that Carol didn’t get to do the job herself... but that was a nice little twist.
Now TWD has a big challenge on their hands. Alpha was a stellar villain — and now she’s gone. Where to go from here...
The Long Night: TWD Edition.
Fans who have lost faith in this show need to find their way back again. It may not be the same show it once was, but “different” isn’t always a bad thing. This episode was quality television. And it’s a shame that so many old fans are probably missing out.
Samantha Morton is one of the best things to happen to TWD in a long time.
Ryan Hurst took Beta to creepier heights in this episode. The whole scene with him descending upon Alexandria was pretty effective.
Great episode.
Pretty decent job for a non-actor. Solid episode.
Adam Driver is SNL gold.
A return to form for the show with all the heart. :blue_heart:
Ally and John Cage were always the heart and soul of this show.
