A unique and timely approach to a familiar sci-fi trope. Well acted, methodically paced, and altogether thought provoking.
Disappointingly more "boring" (for the lack of a better term) and hollow (plot-wise) than the pilot episode, this one struggled to get my attention. I feel that this episode in particular borrowed a lot from Legion (both the good and the bad).
I need more interaction between Emma Stone and Jonah Hill's characters and some plot advancement, otherwise this will be the letdown of the year (and I really, really enjoyed the first episode).
boring so far. I'll give another 2 episodes a try.
This is the Halloween sequel I've been waiting for. Thrilling. Suspense. Action and some honest scares. Get your tickets now. 9/10
Substantial, impeccable and Jamie Lee Curtis being perfect in every way,
Solid episode, was def entertained through out. The chemistry between Emma and Seth in this is great
I also like how the naming of the unborn son was the same as the truck driver who ran Annie and her sister off the road. You can tell it really threw Annie off guard which in turn made her remember an actual memory from her past Once she got back in the car.
Not only does Robert have a very nice hat, he also got the moves!
Annie, I'm a hawk.
My favourite DC movie so far , I might have a few new favourite superheroes...
Decidedly better than the DC lineup so far, and even a contender of other recent Marvel films. The humor was well executed, and exactly what you'd expect from a kid trying to figure out their superpowers. Zachary Levi was a perfect pick for the role of Shazam.
The last quarter of the film dragged a bit, becoming more like other DC films, taking itself too seriously. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and couldn't leave my seat.
DC has made their best Marvel movie. No, that's not a knock on this film. It's a fun family adventure with a lot of heart. Levi is great as Shazam and Mark Strong is the 2nd best DC on-screen villain. They dive right into the magic elements of the DC universe and also tell an origin story lead by heart and family. This was a fun ride with some funny moments. It seems DC/WB is on a streak now with this Aquaman and Wonder Woman.
They'll just build a new one... and make the White Walkers pay for it.
Really nice pilot, loved the pacing! Looking forward to see how this is going to build.
Nice wrap up. Didn't care much for the whole "oh, finally lots of zombies" that some people have been missing so much. For me, the 6 episodes were really tight, the best one being epi 5 and this one keeping up with the pace built on the former. Strand has everything to be a fan favorite.
Reaching the end, I'll say this one last thing: I won't ever understand why so much bashing towards this great show. It's drama with zombies, for brains sake! No Rick, no Daryl, but The Walking Dead just the same.
I liked it. Evidently not a lot happened, which I expected, and I feel like the following episodes might be slow as well... but it feels right for me, considering that they don't know a whole lot about what's happening and don't have much experience surviving (except Salazar and maybe Strand, who seems to know his stuff). Victor Strand, a great addition to the main cast, seems to have secrets and I'm looking forward to that.
I like the fact that it's almost the complete opposite of recent The Walking Dead episodes -- we've been seeing ruthless killers, so now let's see people who still want to save everyone despite how dangerous that could be. At least here, when they mess up, it feels correct -- unlike in TWD (still can't get over experienced survivors letting their only doctor leave safety).
I really enjoyed this episode. Some action, some exploring, some character development, strong Dead Island vibes. Honestly I have no idea why people hate on this show. It's only on its second season but people already whine that it's slow like the forgot the WD was the same in the beginning and still is from time to time. Or some idiots say how they don't care about these characters. Did anyone instantly care for Rick and his group? Of course not. It's a work in progress. And let's be real these guys are just starting out and the apocalypse is all new and fresh and yet they are already kicking a lot of ass, maybe even more than the WD characters did in their first couple of seasons and they were more seasoned from the start.
Ugh, I really want to like this show. I love the main show, so have nothing but high hopes... that keep getting dashed.
Everyone seemed to act in just inexplicable ways this episode. Danial Salazar went from 0 to batshit crazy in record time. Lorenzo Henrie is a horrible actor so Chris' psychotic break is just painful to watch because the actor can't pull it off. I like Travis' character, but it's going to be pure agony to have him and Chris off by themselves. It means more Chris in order to keep Travis visible. Nicks constant bathing in walker blood has gotten old. The mechanic is overused and it's only been a few episodes since he discovered that the blood hides him. He must stop at every walker and flap around in the blood like a spawning salmon.
I actually thought this one was great, enjoyed it very much. I disliked everything they did in episode 7 (particularly separating the group, something that happens a lot in TWD and I'm not really fond of, even though it's obviously for production reasons) and wasn't looking forward to new episodes, was only sort of going to watch because I don't have a lot of shows at the moment, but I'm glad I saw it.
Even though I think it's very stupid that he simply left his family, Nick is still an interesting odd character and I see this whole episode as big example of it.
Also, I've noticed some parallels with this season 2 and TWD season 2. The way previous episodes were handled (people who want to save walkers, kept them locked up in a location, also the relationship between them and people who know better) and now this episode, which kind of reminded me of the Daryl-centric one where lots of bad things happen to him in the forest.
Will remain watching with cautious optimism.
Had an outdoor group viewing with friends on this one; gnarly episode and interesting to see the measures one has to go through in order to survive
Loved the pilot, it doesn't happen a lot that i love a show from the start and that it had me fooled. I did not see this one coming. Can't wait to see how this show will go.
Woah. To reiterate what everybody else has already said: what an incredible pilot episode. This is storytelling at its best.
Shit, that was an amazing episode and although I should have probably seen that ending coming, I did not at all. Very well done, there's not a lot of shows that have me crying over the very first episode.
Oh no! Can't believe it brought tears to my eyes once I started thinking about the family after the episode ended. That rarely happens.
Why couldn't he get better ? He was going to be 12 for her. Why does Miguel have to be there?
Why couldn't they be a perfect happy family?
I know it could be the other way round as well. But I hate to even think about the possibility of things going bad between those two after the emotional heart-to-heart they had. Too damn real. So much emotions. It's just lovely.
i thought i wasn't going to cry in this one and then BAM the last scene with all the washing machine stuff
That scene with Rebecca and William broke my heart. The way he got so excited suddenly and wanted his son to visit him and have sleepovers... It hit me right in the heart. I had tears in my eyes when he put the letter and Randall's picture in his little book called "Poems for my son" ;__;
I completely understand Rebecca's feelings and how scared she must have been that Randall might get taken away, but Randall is 36 now and she still never told him. That's something I would have a hard time to forgive her for, too. She could've told him when he turned 18 or 21. It also makes me a bit upset that Kevin and Kate don't seem to see it as a big deal. I actually want Randall to be angry for a while because it is a huge deal.
Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I can never be Lord of anything, I'm the Three-eyed Raven.
Also Bran: I'm the King.
Cried like a motherfucker during this episode. My god, the show producers have exceptional talent in organzing story lines. Also, mad kudos to the scriptwriters.
