Just let me get two things out of the way I think were weak storytelling.
First, putting the drive on the hub was the stupidest thing to do as it could only lead to her getting caught. It also was illogical as it was clear that they would just override it and/or claim it as false. Granted she didn't know about the Janitor room but she knew there was surveilance everywhere and because of that might reach the conclusion that all those feeds had to be watched somewhere. But the story needs to go on so I'll take it.
Second, its hard to believe that they didn't inspect the stuff they brought to Juliette or they would have found the note. Even not knowing what it meant they would not have let it through. Plus, from a storyelling point of view it was giving too much away. Would have been better to not show it. Instead they could insert a scene when Juliette is about to break down to explain that she didn't die. And speaking of dying, Where are all the others that went out? Does someone actually go out to collect the bodies ?
Now, for the big reveal at the end I have to say I didn't see that coming. After making us believe (and I did) that it is safe outside, not only do we learn it is not, but there are literally dozens of silos out there. Does that mean the whole of mankind lives underground ? My guess is that each one thinks they are the only one and each one does have someone taking care that it stays like that. But we still don't have an idea about why ?
There is one thing I noticed that I want to point out. When Juliette told Holland about the door below he seem genuinely surprised. As if he didn't knew. That was the moment he ended the conversation. Just saying.
So, I don't know the books but from reading elsewhere I understand we barely scratched the surface of the story. I wonder how slow they will go with this one. The second season is already confirmed but thre is always the chance of not getting a third, or forth, or however many they need to play this out.
I sure hope we're not getting left hanging in the air atsome point.
Someone move this episode to special instead of season 1
Shit. That ending took me completely by surprise. I can't believe Yo-Yo did what she did. Okay, Ruby was a total psychopath with a knack for violence, but in her final moments, she really was just a scared kid who was in way over her head. In some way, I felt bad for her. She had no chance from the beginning, spent her whole life getting indoctrinated by HYDRA and being pushed beyond her limits. If she wasn't crazy before, fusing with Gravitonium definitely would've driven her insane. I get that Yo-Yo truly thought she was saving the world and there was no other choice, but I have a feeling that she's only made things worse.
I was 100% convinced that Talbot would really shoot himself. Smart move on Coulson's part to use HYDRA's programming to stop him.
Deke's crush on Daisy is annoying, but the lemon thing made me laugh. We should totally start confessing our feelings like this.
I'm seeing Infinity War in 3 days. I can't tell you how terrified I am. It's going to be a total game changer for the entire MCU, and I'm sure that it will impact the show in some way. And I'm even more scared because this episode had the lowest ratings in the show's history, plus the show has already crossed the 100-episode mark, so Marvel might decide to end it here. I want to cry just thinking about it. All I want is one more season, even a shorter one. I want a proper ending and closure. We deserve that.
The series wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it would be more focused on missions, but it turned out to be more about romance. However, I guess it was my fault for expecting something else.
This was really endearing, lots of cute moments.
In most other shows I'd find it ridiculous to have characters get married after knowing each other for only three days but everyone in TUA is just unhinged enough for something like this to work. And I'm always here for the "let's have a party before the world ends" trope.
I like that they finally gave new Ben some depth, took them long enough!
Reginald being nice (or at least pretending to) is totally weirding me out and I'm loving it.
Klaus is definetely carrying this season so far.
Everytime Allison spoke I could not help but roll my eyes. The adaucity to not even accept Viktor's apology which in no way she even deserved... ugh. Her emotions are very much justified, I don't blame her at all for grieving and being angry but after forcing herself on Luther and not even apologizing for it and then going on to murder Harlan in cold blood, I just cannot stand looking at her anymore. She's irredeemable.
Who else could tell within the first 10 minutes that they were using a mechanical baby or a computer generated one?
What is even going on with this season? Is it bad that I'm not even sad about Cisco leaving? what does that say about me as a fan this many seasons deep and the direction this show is heading? Guess better not think about it or I'll be depressed.
I'm still annoyed at Otis's behavior throughout the season, but his voicemail to Maeve was actually really sweet and what Isaac did at the end was a total dick move. Tbh given that Netflix has been canceling their shows left and right, the producers are putting a lot of faith in them with that cliffhanger ending. Nothing has really been resolved in a satisfying way, so if we don't get a season 3 it's gonna be awfully disappointing.
Also, Maeve's mom is literally the worst ever. Fuck her. I'll miss seeing Maeve with Elsie too, they had such a cute relationship.
My name is Barry Allen and I'm the... weakest hero alive. I'm so sorry about everything and it's all my fault. I have so many locks on my door one would thing I didn't have superpowers. I'm glad my awesome wife and her awesome friends know I am the Flash cause I sure as hell don't remember that. I also think it's superswell that they are Team Citizen and I just LOVED the long pause as they look into the great beyond. I'm the Flash, or at least I was... Now I'm just The Streak. Cause my wife invented that word and it resembles the streak of shit in my underpants that I constantly have these last seasons.
Oh and Mohinder... He's in this too. I keep forgetting.
I think Lena is overreacting. Kara confessed and apologised, what else does she want? I don’t like what the writers are doing with this story. Everything else was greath though and Katie McGrath is perfect as Lena.
What was the Monitor doing at the Legends’ show?
Somehow, I always found Zach entertaining. He's too damn dumb to not chuckle a bit whenever he's around. Rajesh's story, on the other hand, is getting quite tiresome. But I guess everything in this show that envolves relationships has been getting tiresome for quite some seasons. Heck, for me, that's the one thing that ruined this show.
This was a great episode but it made me wonder why did they lead the show and even bothered producing those first two absolute garbage episodes when they clearly are able to have decent ones like those last two?
Knew she was alive . Took them so long to reveal it.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?!!??!?!?! I'M IN PIECES
last 15 mins I was having the most emotional full body reaction. I was sweating n crying n breathing heavy. I'M STILL CRYING NOW??
Was her heart beat 350 from being in a room that was 41° Celsius? That can't be right... right.
Nevertheless, this was horrible and Amazon should actually develop backstop so we can forget this shit show.
The plot was stupid, the time jumps was annoying and the acting was abysmal.
The only good thing was that we actually got some closure in the season 1 finale.
It's insane the show has been renewed for a second season, there is a "spyverse" now and a second show in the "spyverse" is coming next year. Well, I won't be there when they release.
I don’t care what anyone says, I really enjoyed this series and I’m sorry to see it go. I loved all the characters with the exception of the pinkest lips I’ve ever seen on a black man (Lola’s Husband), they were their own character to me lol.
I can tell this wasn’t a well-planned series finale and was thrown together quickly because they were canceled. It was cute seeing “Lola’s” real-life husband as the DJ at the end though.
Not cool that everyone is trying to get Nancy and Steve back together. When Jonathan isn’t around.
The world needs a mask to go outside but Caitlin Snow does not need one to perform surgery
So it is confirmed that Frank has dementia. Frank is such a horrible character, he has done so many inexcusable things throughout the years but I am sure I will be in complete tears as the story progresses. William H. Macy does one hell of a job portraying this character.
Another highlight of the episode was Mickey and his conflict when it comes to his father. I love the way this was handled and how he dealt with it in the end.
I miss old Lip and him actually making smart decisions! And now he wants to sell the house where his siblings live? Even if they each get a cut, why would they want to add “paying rent” to their problems? And what about Liam? Who will he end up with?
It is ironic how Debbie was the one to point out that Carl was actually raped. I hope this means she now understands the gravity of what she did to Franny’s dad (whatever his name was) Just watched the Debbie's Hall of Shame episode and she actually raped her first boyfriend Matt. With Derek (Franny's dad), she lied about being on birth control pills.
Shout out to Aisha Dee for speaking out about Kat's storyline.
God damn that was an emotional episode. :disappointed_relieved: I think Shaun is more connected with Lea than with Carly.
Me: Agents of SHIELD is one of my favorite shows ever!
Also me: * falls practically an entire season behind and frantically scrambles to catch up before the finale *
Ah, the duality of man.
I do have to say though, binge watching 10 episodes in the last one and a half days has made one thing quite clear: this season truly had everything and the kitchen sink, didn't it? Space travel! Daisy and Jemma high on alien LSD! FitzSimmons trapped in a mind prison (yes, best episode ever)! Fake Coulson! LMD Coulson! Space bats turning people into zombies! An ancient alien deity kinda thing in a terrible wig! Deke's influencer girlfriend! The Monoliths! Time travel! I could go on! And I loved every second of it!
Good season finale overall. It went by so fast, there was so much action and thrills. It set up season 7 really nicely and I personally cannot wait for the next adventure. To be honest, halfway through the episode I expected them to kill most of the team so that the rest could pull an Avengers: Endgame and go back in time to try and fix things, but I like this outcome too. Sure, I could complain about a thing or two (like the fact that the writers apparently forgot about Snow or that making us think May might be dead just to turn it around 2 minutes later kinda takes the emotional impact out of the whole thing), but if y'all know me, you know I'm not really the type to focus on the negatives. And I don't mind the fact that they cannot seem to stop bringing Clark Gregg back. I didn't expect anything else. He is who the show was created for in the first place, after all.
Now, recently it's been announced that season 7 will be the final season. And I'm not even gonna pretend that I'm not devastated about it. Yeah, yeah, I expected this show to get canceled last year, so the fact that we know it's coming to an end a year ahead of time and that they're getting to end it on their own terms is a blessing. That's the best any of us TV watchers can hope for. Plus, 7 seasons is a terrific run for any show, much less one as criminally underrated as this one.
But then I think about the fact that the cast has already wrapped up filming the final season. I think about this SHIELD family going their separate ways. And my heart grows heavy with sadness.
I'm not ready to say goodbye.
Still, we as viewers have that last hurrah to look forward to. Bring it on.
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.
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.
Really interesting episode, not the "kids these days are on their phones all the time" kind one might have thought watching the trailer, but instead focuses on a much more serious issue surrounding the mentality of certain groups, and how those specific echo chambers function.
It's definitely an episode that is made by its ending. The hyperbole of the allegory might seem too exaggerated at first. But when things start falling into place it becomes clear that it serves a purpose and helps highlight the main message.
The final part is what makes the whole episode really work, for me the ending was quite fitting, given the point that the story was trying to get across, and Ncuti Gatwa was phenomenal in his performance, especially during the final scene.
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........
Everything fell apart when they introduced that stupid fucking rocket with the bombs. How did they even get the bombS up in space in the correct spots and then get them to stay in that location? Not looking forward to season 2 tbh.
