OK REAL TALK. It's getting irritating how everyone is always finding excuses for Owen's actions and behavior since his day one on the series. And I have been one of those people for such a long time, which is why I used to like that guy. But recently (few seasons ago actually) I've started to believe that maybe he's just not a good person underneath it all. And I no longer can stomach anyone who tries to blame his shit decision making and apathy towards others on his past. There. I said it.
I've just read that this will be the final season. :( I can't believe it's coming to an end... It was an amazing journey and I hope that finale won't disappoint and that Raj will finally find a girlfriend and be happy...the poor guy just can't catch a break...
Andy has got to be the dumbest and most gullible character on the show. Let's just hope he won't be able to ruin Lauren, as well.
And they keep breaking the group further apart! Fucking hell! That's what ruined this season, in the first place! We want them fighting the good fight together, not as a million different organised groups that dislike one another. What happened to "strength in unity"?
The show runners are clearly just spitballing, by now.
I feel like my reactions to and enjoyment of this show is the adult equivalent of how 13 year-old me felt about The Vampire Diaries... and I don't mind.
What the hell did I just watch? What? So in the end the last surviving Original is Kol? Seriously? WTF?
I hate everything about this series finale. Well, not everything. There's one tiny upside, and that's Rebekah finally getting to be human. Girl's wanted to have a baby since the days of The Vampire Diaries. So I'm really happy she'll get her happily ever after. Really, she deserves it.
Everything else? No.
It would've been so much better for Elijah to sacrifice himself, after all the crap he put everyone through this season. He should've redeemed himself from his selfish actions from the beginning of the season by being selfless in the end. Klaus dying and leaving Hope an orphan is bullshit. And unnecessary. He could have lived happily ever after with Caroline keeping him on a well behaved leash. Or at least, he could've become a human, too.
To me, this feels like a cop out. The writers didn't know how to deal with him being alive in the Legacies time-line, and so they went the easy route and got rid of Klaus, one of the best, most complex characters I've ever seen on a TV show.
I'm upset and disappointed. I mean, c'mon. Since when is killing off practically all of your main characters considered to be a good ending?
Most 'meh' finale ever...
Maybe it will get interesting in 400 years........
Great show -- if all the episodes were released at once, I wouldn't sleep ;-)
Episode S04E03
It's getting harder and harder to ignore the Woke nonsense coming from the show. In the first scene of the episode, they have people who are essentially interviewing for a job(New residents looking to get hired by the hospital) talking about their sexual preferences. Why would anyone go: "I graduated from so and so, did so and so projects, and also, I'm gay." Why?
Later Browne and Reznic are having a heated argument and a guy tries to diffuse the situation, so they snap at him for 'mansplaining' after which they forget about their argument.
And then later, they asked the residents an open question and one of them hesitates goes like "Emm...." so the same guy steps in and gives his answer. What do they do? Of course, chastize him for daring to interrupt a woman. Even though the woman didn't say anything besides 'emm' they tell him that "He doesn't always need to be the one to speak first". And who chastised him? Dr. Reznic. A character who has 'do whatever it takes to win" personality and will do anything to advance her career even at others' expense. Suddenly this character cares sees something wrong with being the first to speak, when she did the exact same thing to Claire Browne when they were residents.
Later the senior residents talk about the new residents, they say they want to convince Dr. Lim not to hire the mansplaining guy. Because he's arrogant. Yet they praise another doctor(a woman) who is more opinionated than the mansplaining guy as confident. And that's a plus. So when a guy talks first and gives his opinion, he's a bad doctor, because he's arrogant. Yet when a woman does the same thing, it's good, because she's confident.
Also, can you guess what ethnicity this 'asshole' guy is? Do you really need to guess? It's obvious it's the only white straight male in the resident pool. And of course in the end they did not hire him, because he's 'obnoxious' and 'arrogant'. As if Dr. Mendez wasn't obnoxious and arrogant and as if arrogance isn't a common trait in surgeons.
Overall, this season was more boring than the first one by quite a lot. A spy drama thrives in the mystery of it all, and this season all the cards were on the table practically from the very beginning.
Also, leaving the spying game and double crossing aside, there was no real conflict this season. In season one, the lives of millions of people were at stake in a race against the clock, while Joe's life was at stake at every turn. There was danger. There was mystery. The stakes were incredibly high.
This season was spent developing the romantic relationships and personal stories of side characters, who mostly ended up dead. So... pointless. And in the end, the plot wasn't revealed, the mole wasn't exposed, the whole truth wasn't learned. All pertinent players died, and their secrets died with them. All loose ends were tied far away from prying eyes. What's to keep this from happening again? The CIA lost 3 of its people, 2 of whom vanished without a trace. It all feels unfinished to me.
An underwhelming effort from a company that seems to have fallen behind the curve. Creatively it’s pulling too much from Zootopia and Inside Out while not adding much of its own flavour, almost every choice in this movie is predictable. Sure, the racism/prejudice commentary is more aggressive now that we’ve entered the post-Trump era (seriously, you should go back and look at how Zootopia handled that same topic, it feels quaint now), but besides that it doesn’t bring much to the table. The worldbuilding lacks the clever intricacies of Zootopia, the pretty animation style has some unique textures but it’s no Across the Spider-verse, and emotionally it feels more like Illumination than Pixar. It’s a very straightforward, cheesy romcom with a formulaic set-up for the main characters (think Notting Hill, Crazy Rich Asians, and countless other movies your mom loves), some ok comedy (bad puns notwithstanding) and a boring adventure (fixing pipelines, how exciting). The score’s pretty interesting because it seems to pull a lot from Indian folk music, on the other hand the songs sound generic and overproduced. Overall, I’d easily recommend this over some other animated films from this year, as this does genuinely try as a movie. However, that doesn’t change that I expect both children and adults to be mostly bored by this.
4.5/10
To anybody asking themselves "why display the green environment, even if just for the few moments before they die":
Well, so they'd clean the lens of course. A simple and cheap trick so nobody unpunished has to go outside to do so...
Pros:
- The VFX work is great, especially the dinosaurs
Cons:
- No world building
- No exposition
- No explanations
- Nothing happens
- All of the potentially suspenseful moments were shown in the trailer
I love slow movies; Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorites. But this film is surprisingly boring, and it makes an hour and a half feel like it's dragging on. There's no meaningful dialogue because the only two characters in the film don't speak the same language. It's a dinosaur movie where nobody gets eaten, and the dinosaurs are barely even an issue until the very end.
I've lost count of how many times i yelled for them to stop being so damn LOUD
The total body count is five.
The cause of death is....stupidity.
I wonder if this movie would be funnier on a re-watch with that in mind.
This season has been awful. Season 1 was decent, 2 was bad, but this one is truly terrible. This finale was the only episode that was even mildly enjoyable in any way. Glad it's over.
I'd say that in general this season had some of the best Jodie episodes for me, and Dan quickly became my favorite of her companions... but nothing changes the fact that there was just too much going on. Too many characters, too many plots to tie together. I shouldn't be very surprised by my disappointment... but I was surprised anyway, there was so much wasted potential.
In the end, there was zero pay-off with Swarm, Azure, and Passenger, they were gone in seconds and there was never any big revelation. Swarm loved to talk as if he was secretly someone tied to the Doctor's past (in the same vein as The Master or another past Time Lord), but was just someone going up against "Division" I guess? (I'm starting to think they're overestimating how interesting the "Division" plotline is.)
The Grand Serpent was absolutely of no consequence other than to bring back Kate Stewart I suppose, yet her interactions with the Doctor were small, and not really as fun as they could've been? And also... so... many... Sontarans. Why so much focus on the Sontarans and their plans, when they already had an entire episode about their conquest, and were defeated before? I don't know if it's because COVID affected the amount of episodes, but everything just fell flat as hell.
I hate being so negative - I really did enjoy these episodes more than the past couple of seasons and there were plenty of memorable moments, including great supporting characters. But it feels so frustrating that they didn't capitalize on all the buildup. I'm definitely looking to the Thirteenth Doctor's specials though - maybe we will see some of it come back and get a better resolution. All I hope is Jodie gets the sendoff she deserves, because even though I had plenty of issues with this era of Doctor Who, she's a great performer and wonderful Doctor.
I want expecting much when it came up as a suggestion in my prime lists.
if you're a homophob, not for you.
if you're not into girl power, strong women, not for you.
if you're racist, not going to be for you.
if you like fantasy, crossed with "crime" solving, military-ish with superwomen? you're in luck.
it's surprisingly engaging. charmed with a while lot more kick-assery going on.
To be honest I enjoyed the film. While it's nothing like the original Space Jam that's to be expected with 20+ years between the original and this sequel. However this film does have a few issues that really bug me, from the awful tech jargon used in the movie from the son to the poor acting and straight up dislike of LeBron. LeBron comes across as an awful father who forces his own ideals and opinions onto his children than letting them being individuals and that Basketball isn't fun and is solely just work. Also despite all the cool television and movie references throughout (felt very much like Ready Player One) it did feel a bit over the top at points and felt more like a big advert for WB content.
Yeah, OK, we get it: only one of the kids has super powers for now, ... but why fucking exclude him from the whole "Trip down family history lane", he's still your kid Superman, Jesus. Way to divide the family.
You know when shows run out of ideas and they do the black and white 1900s episode with the same actors, yeah this is that....
I really hated this movie, the characters were poorly constructed, especially the male characters. All of them manipulate Elle throughout the whole movie, telling her what to do and pushing her around when it suit them.
The worst part for me though was how lightly they treated Noah’s violent side. Lee wondering if he had hit Elle was incredibly painful to watch, and when he slams the car to make her come inside she really does seem frightened. He is a violent character that doesn’t change at all, just says a few nice words at the end to “make up for everything”. Lee gets some sort of redemption by helping Elle, but Noah doesn’t, and I don’t think that’s the message we want kids to get from movies like this one, that your boyfriend loves you because he gets into fights “for you” or that he manipulating you and other people around you is something sweet and a proof of how much he cares about you. That’s wrong, and this movie take on that is completely horrible and misleading.
Dang this episode annoyed me. Riproar was corny!! It was obvious from the moment William told the story who riproar was. His movements were whack. The near disaster and how it was avoided didn’t sit well with me. I’m not digging the fact they basically traded jimmy for his sister. Not feeling the romance with Alex. The last relationship she had felt right. This one feels forced on us. Hope this episode was a one off.
This isn't a regular episode, it's a documentary. As much as I love the show I think I will skip that one. What a cheap way to get to an episode count of 100.
80 plays, huh? I wasn't aware this movie had already been released.
I wonder how that bio thread plot will play into the campaining because right now it seems there isn't any connection whatsoever. It just seems to be there to give Maggie Q a spot on the show.
So everyone fucked in the last Episode. isnt that great? ;-)
Ah yes, the old suck sunlight out plants trick.
The scene in the airplane was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen on tv. And what’s with all this adoption agency nonsense.
Never thought I'd see Lucifer and Ella strutting butt naked into a nudist resort, but first time for everything I guess.
Dan seriously needs to fuck off. All he's done so far this season is mop around and be an asshole to everyone. He needs to stop blaming Lucifer for Charlotte's death. And he's seriously mad that an unarmed police consultant (whose supernatural powers Dan isn't aware of) let an armed murderer and human trafficker go? Nah, son. Get out of here with this shit.
Maze just made me cry in this episode. Remember what she was like in the pilot? She's changed so much since then and I love it.
So Lucifer is back to embracing his devil side. Eve is a bad influence on him and I'm sure it's not gonna end well.
