The funny thing is that after the episode ended, I came here to give it some stars.
The real question is why the hell did the guy charge money for snacks at the white house?
First of all I’m a really GREAT fan of The Orville :) But start of this episode looked strangely familiar, then i remember it. Black mirror, season 3 episode 1 - Nosedive :)

Anyone seen that?
I gave this series a 10/10 for the first 3 seasons, but could only watch 20 minutes of episode 1, season 4 before being completely disinterested and bored. Even the "previously" on.." didn't bring me up to speed on what was going on from season 3. It's only been a couple of months since I watched season 3. Something to be said for binge-watching a series after its ended.
It's OK -- they bought the rights to the concept and butchered the original 2012 Swedish version, appropriately titled 'Real' Humans ( https://trakt.tv/shows/real-humans ) - "Äkta Människor". It wasn't adapted from a book, the creator (Lars Lundström) developed it as an original screenplay for Swedish television: www.svt.se/akta-manniskor/
The original was outstanding, both seasons -- by the end of the 1st season of the remake, there isn't anything from the original plot -- it's been simplified and homogenized. The original, with English subtitles, can be found on Vimeo. As they've completely changed the story, no need to worry about spoilers... ;-)

So no one is going to talk about how the order of episodes for this show is messed up? And it's not Trakt. Even on Peacock the order is like this. They threw in the Olympics episode after the season 1 finale?
Glenn still has his job. Chey is still pregnant Disorienting for binging purposes.
I see many people here complaining that the message of this episode was blatantly obvious and simple, but I don't really think that is the point of the episode.
In my interpretation, this episode was mainly here to tell a story of a tragic character that does immoral things out of desperation whilst also showing glimpses of humanity in his actions, which in no way justify his actions. Similarly, they try to humanise each and every side of this story. Even the big CEO of the company that arguably does a lot of social evil has his big humanising moment, where he admits that it all spun out of control, and I think we can all relate to that.
There is no evil character. It is all a complex web that creates evil, and the point, as I see it, was not to bash into the heads of people to not text and drive, or to stop using social media, but simply to tell a story. A story that utilises the all-consuming technology in our society, and I think it does that job fantastically. It is suspenseful, layered, and incredibly moving.
A wonderful goodbye to a decaying show. After quite a few underwhelming seasons, against all odds, they gave us a genuinely funny and very heartwarming episode. Ain't gonna lie, I shed a tear or two (and not only during Sheldon's Nobel speech). They've truly put some heart into this series finale, there isn't a single thing I can complain about it. The show ended on the highest possible note.
I was prepared to be disappointed by the lack of guest stars in the final episode, but then Buffy the Vampire Slayer :heart:
Twelve seasons is a big chunk of life, and I'm glad to have The Big Bang Theory being a part of mine for this long. I will miss these guys.
These ladies are HILARIOUS! I really enjoyed watching this. I laughed out loud a whole bunch of times and really love the actors in these particular roles. I can already see several long-term quotable lines coming from it. Chris Hemsworth was also a riot.
While it's probably technically a remake, this movie has its own original plot and its own original characters. I'm glad for that. I loved the nods to the original without (always) hitting you over the head with it. Keep an eye out for some old friends.
Having said that, the movie does drag a bit around the 2/3 mark before kind of getting its mojo back for the finale. And make sure you stick around through the credits (which go by surprisingly quickly)!
There are going to be people who will hate this no matter what. But don't pre-judge this movie based on the trailer. Give it a chance and you may laugh as hard as I did.
Great movie, I loved it. And the less you know about it before watching, the better.
Legend has it, that the script took forever to finish. Every time they finished a line, it disappeared
WARNING: trakt displays the order of the episodes in the way they were aired by FOX. But FOX aired them out of order, from how they were created and intended to be watched. I don't have enough space here, to tell you the right order, so check out Wikipedia to see the correct order.
Shouldn’t the TARDIS have caused the Cyrillic sign in the underground tunnel to appear as English?
Great dual moment at the end with them both realising they have met. And so the game of cat and mouse begins!
I like how flawed they both are, it's such a rarity to have layered female characters written well. Really liking this show.
Finally, a good sequel. Good god the animation, it's so beautiful. And the action was so smooth. Also, Pixar better gives us a short movie about Edna babysitting Jack-Jack.
Designated Survivor is great and enjoyable because of the people involved in it... but also increasingly predictable. They have this structure of:
I like the show because I love to see Kiefer Sutherland and the supporting cast has been wonderful as well, and it's been a "feel good" show, really - even when the outcome of Kirkman's problems is not that great, there is still a positive message being shared. And what can I say about Lyor's scenes, always on point. However, I fear that without innovation the show doesn't have much of a future, especially with the investigation stuff not being that interesting. We'll see what happens.
What the hell was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, so. much. stupid. My two faves: (1) Four missiles are headed for DC and so a message goes out that residents within 400 miles should evacuate. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As if folks in DC would even be able to make it to the Beltway in that amount of time. (2) After all of the time and drama surrounding which people to pick for the ark, they basically just herd everyone who happened to be at Tanz into the silo when the time comes. So not only was Jillian the most annoying character on the show right up to the very end, but she was the most useless, as well. There's so much more to mock, but it's just piling on at this point. It's over. Maybe now I've finally learned my lesson regarding "science" fiction and CBS summer shows. But probably not. I'm pretty desperate at times.
I watched this to the end because I couldn't believe it could be so bad the whole way through. I was wrong. What a terrible movie.
So she has a fancy security system but doesn't lock her keys or windows?... Okay, but then it's your own fault if you die, stupid.
At first, thinking of how this show once consisted of (and was catapulted by) fairly unknown actors, I was a little perturbed by the abundance of celebrity appearances. Then the twist happened… and that was actually all really clever.
The first 1/3 part of the movie is really great and i was thinking, wow that's a great one. The next 1/3 of it was only meh and i started to be stupid. The last 1/3 of it was only awful and stupid. Specially the ending. It's really sad they messed it up.
As Zach Dempsey said, let’s pile on the closure dirt
Started with Hannah and ended with Hannah. I absolutely loved the ending.
This episode was so much crying for me

Just because you got Matthew Broderick and you rip off Ferris Bueller sometimes shot for shot, does not make you Ferris Bueller. Not even post apocalypse Bueller.
I'll miss you, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Titus and Lillian and and all of you.♥️
P.S.: Except Mimi
If the point of this movie was to confuse the watchers and setup a second movie than they succeeded. What was the point of this movie? Was this supposed to be a Jigsaw (SAW) clone, if so than they should spend some time researching the SAW formula. The bigest question I have after this movie is "Why".
