Do you think Camille is fully aware and she has accepted to play the villain or she has no clue and she is just being exploited by the production? I can't decide. So far I find the bosun worst than Camille. Playing a role or not he is gross.

Well..it wasn't a bad episode, apart from the cliche writing of our beloved heroes being constantly cops even during their private lives. It is so predictable by now, that a big or a small crime will happen while they are on a date, a diner, a party, they walk the dog or they are just at their home. LA must be a real hell.. Although I am very surprised Bailey did not appear. At all! wow! So I guess this was a crossover and Nolan goes to Rookie Feds next as a liaison.. Good for him. I will not follow. The "you must all love my huge boobs-it is an order!" FBI lady reminded me how much annoying she is. Thanks the TV Gods she wasn't too much present in this one. I am pretty much sure in some of the darkest prisons of our planet her recorded voice is used for torture ..

It amazes me that people still think the whole Hannah - Malia - Sandy situation wasn't scripted by the production.

Well, I am ok with Captain Sandy so far. I do not mind having her as a captain, my only issue with her is that she is behaving like an alive walking motivational poster! Can she talk about anything without doing the motivational thing? I am very curious if she behaves the same in real life or this is just her reality tv persona. So, this was my fav episode of the season so far, even if I found the whole Captain Lee situation awkward... I mean it was more than obvious that he should not be there in the first place. Was this whole thing planned from the start so we could have Sandy on board or Captain Lee was too stubborn to admit his couldn't start the season? So that dude did not want to do the night watch cause he would miss his morning workout. Well he would miss his chance to keep showing off his body and charm and weird moans every morning, so I get why he got pissed off. I did laugh loud when Captain Sandy said they need to do the night watches cause one day they will become captains.. LMAO! Sure thing Sandy darling! Sure thing! Ah, Rachel...you are back at your game girl! Yay! And I like the guests, they look so normal and down to earth. Who broke them? 😁 p.s. WHY Captain Lee had a ... whip in his luggage??

That! I enjoy this season, but I have a big issue with Min's murder. Unless there is a more complicated plot behind, it I can't find a good enough reason for killing him. The cover up was amateur and even worst was how easily the police and MI6 accepted it was an accident. Those Russians seem to have no problem getting rid of agents, first Min now they wanna kill River. But that means they attract a lot of attention, which is not something spies want to, right? And why to get in all this charade with the Mi6 meeting and all in the first place? Pashkin always had access to Nevsky's place and he could had killed him anytime. So Nevsky misses a thumb, is this needed for some device recognition system? River's plot is also a tad stupid. "Journalist who wants to write an article about little villages"? Really?

The "crew is making out" thing has really got tiring and boring. One reason is that most of the crew is so indifferent or/and lame that you really do not care who does what with who. But even if you cared about the crew, when they keep shoving it in your face so much it looses any possible fun it might had in the first place. It is so obvious the production encourages or even demands.. its like watching a cheap soft porn movie without the porn. There is no class whatsoever. The whole show is now about bickering between the crew during the charters and their boring making out dramas. I doubt this is because they cannot cast more interesting people, it is just their formula. I wonder if there are surveys that show the BD franchise it is mostly watched by horny teenagers or the productions thinks it will keep the interest of the audience with such a cliche way. Maybe indeed they get bigger ratings with this approach.. Personally I do not enjoy it, which made me abandon the BDM this season and almost do the same with BDSY. I can live just fine without the cheap and very fake erotica (lol). I really enjoyed the Deck Crew of BDM's 2021 season. There are still crew members that keep me watching, Rachel is one and Aisha in BDDU. I hope Captain Lee is ok. He was in the Bravo convention a few weeks ago, looked fine.

Add me to the club of not having read the books. I have really enjoyed it so far. I really like Molina (he is 69? it doesn't show!). At the beginning I wasn't sure about the Three Pines people cause they were portrayed a bit like caricatures..to the point that I thought this is a dark comedy. But in episode 3 and 4 they seem more human. The scenery is of course amazing. *** minor spoilers about episode 4 ****

And we are back to stupid. I could not take this seriously from the beginning. Meet in a neutral place to negotiate? WHAT FOR? nothing that Silas said could not have been told by his lawyer. Then they did not know WHO would meet them from the DA's office. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! We are talking about state of the art security measures here. But the lack of radios was the worst of all. They are going to an unknown location and they do not have any kind of radio communication or backup following them using a tracking device. I am pretty much sure at one point Silas must have regretted surrendering to those idiots. At least he had some IQ to use security cameras. Watching the goons running all together up and down and left and right in the building was pure comedy. They should had decided to close down OC for all them being dumb. And dumber!

I am in shock cause I actually liked this one! A lot. I can't even remember when it was the last time I really enjoyed an SVU episode. Was it the wedding? Was it that Liv and Noah 's story was very tolerable? Was all the Amanda & Liv scenes? Probably the latter, I enjoyed those scenes so much that at one point I even wished for a spinoff with Liv and Amanda as PIs away from the SVU drama! The only plot I did not enjoy was the court one, oh well you cannot have it all. I am not sure of how much I will miss Rollins, mostly cause they writers have frakked up her character so much...but at the end I am glad she left on a good note and had a happy ending. I quite like the actress and I give her kudos for managing to keep a good performance level with such mediocre material she has been given all these years.

I think the worst thing series like The Rookie do is to involve the police officers families into crime drama, serial killers..etc etc It is so cliche and so boring like the plot with the Greys and their daugther. I do not mind Lucy and Tim as long as they writing them like adults and not like teenagers. I really like the actress but Celina has become really annoying!
-
I really like C. Lee but at this point things are ridiculous. The man needs rest to recover. Of course who is gonna cover for him? I wish C.Glenn, but I wonder if a certain blonde captain would join for the rest of season... It would be interesting seeing her interact with Rachel! Talking about Rachel, I really hope she will return to her usual high standards. She is the only reason I keep watching this. Ok, and the locations :)

This whole thing, "we have high tech - but we don't" is one of my issues with the series (and probably the franchise). But you know, robots factory is less drama! I could get the post-apocalyptic/wild west kind of style in the Mandalorian, here it doesn't make sense. Ferrix has a lot of technology but looks like if nobody ever bothered to take care of it. They had orchestras and rituals etc etc, but their places looked almost like abandoned. When you love your place, as the residents of Ferrix did, you take care of it. But yes, I guess they needed the strong contrast with Senator's world. This is why I referred to stupid writing, or shall I say weak. And also, with this technology why you need Doctor Nightmare to interrogate prisoners? Torture was always a tool of regimes, but really they couldn't have some kind of truth serum or an hypnotizing technique to get their info? They are building a Death Star ffs!! I agree with you, they dragged the story a lot. I confess I Fast Forwarded a bit, especially Senator's scenes. And I do not have issues with slow pace.

so this is Star Wars' Deep Space 9. the Bad: The lead. I cannot stand of him, the character and the actor. At the beginning I though this was a parody or something. Then I remembered he was in Rogue One. I do not think they made a good job building his character. the Good: Most of all the rest. Ok the writing was sometimes stupid and not very original, but the whole nightmarish world under the Empire was very well made. Ok its soldiers are still mostly incompetent, but this is the first time I truly felt the evilness of it in a more realistic form. The ISB lady would be the MVP of the season if it wasn't for... the Great: Wall-e/Bee. Of course they saved it and of course I am gonna a 2nd season for it, even if I will have to tolerate that insufferable Andor dude. oh, and Stellan Skarsgård is amazing. Always!

West was such a miscast that he was like if belonging to another show. His character's writing also didn't help and all this lead to a different Charles than the one from previous seasons. As a result I had trouble following and believing everything this Charles was doing and saying. I really do not get why they didn't use the same actor, a little makeup and he would be fine as an older Charles. Same as the Queen. Their formula of changing the actors didn't work in the show's favor this season.

To be honest I did not get why they didn't leave together..

From the photos I can see the Boobs galore keeps going.

Add me to the club of not enjoying this season. Surely some of the casting was unfortunate (sorry Mr West, I really like you but you were so much misscasted as Charles). The basic problem with this show..is that these people are BORING. BORING, BORING, BORING! I am not British or royalist, I guess they have to behave like human robots, but that doesn't make them appealing and certainly does not justify 50 (soon to be 60) episodes of TV. They are simply not interesting enough. It is not a coincidence that the best episodes of the series were about personalities that lived or events, like Aberfan, that happened during Elizabeth's reign. I mean how much can you watch Lilibet not showing emotions or that entitled brat Charles whining about everything? Even Diana can't save it. And Diana was probably the most interesting thing that happened to them. Weren't any global events in the 90s to see how the royals reacted to them? Of course they were. The Gulf war. The end of Apartheid. And I mention two events that had connection with UK. Cause there were more, like the civil war in Yugoslavia. But no, we had to care about the lost bones of the Czars... The only interesting story this season was about Mohamed Al-Fayed and his lovely little friendship with Diana. That was all. p.s. I don't know how much close to reality is the portrayal of Dodi Fayed, but I can't see how Diana fell for this guy. p.s.2 Most entertaining moment of the season? Diana voting "no to monarchy" a bazillion of times!

It was like if they run out of budget or the actor had to leave the filming. Which it was a weird decision, since they built a lot around him (and till some point they made us think Cornelia was there for him) and then "poof! gone!".

I quite enjoyed the series which I watched in a day! Cinematography was amazing, the story interesting and the acting mostly superb. This is a story about the dark side of "wild wild west", although I am not sure if there was any other side.. (as much as series like "Little House on the Prairie" sugarcoated some of it). What white men did to the native Americans was horrible, to say the least. However, I am not sure if the motives of the main villain were racist or he was just a sociopath. I lean to the latter. The big villain is the only issue I had with the series: he was a bit like an evil caricature and the actor played him like one. He was just impersonating Tom Hardy' crazy acting and it was utterly frustrating. I know that his character is supposed to be insufferable, but his acting was so over the top... it was awful. The way the did the massacre scene was brilliant. Just listening to that machine gun noise and showing the murderers covered with blood after was just enough. You don't need to show graphic details to experience the horror of violence. My only other issue was they didn't show how TT died. Just a mention, to the point I thought he survived and he would come back.

Add me to the "I want a DC spin off" club. Especially if Eli joins and a certain New York female lawyer visits from time to time. Jay is the "Jason Bourne" of investigators! Can I fantasize a PI office with him, Khalinda and Marissa? oh my!! Overall I really liked the series, although I would prefer it to be more about legal cases than all the surreal allegory it tried to be. I would definitely be fine without at least half of the "over the top"/eccentric characters. I saw what the creators tried to do, but sometimes it felt like wasting a great cast/characters. However, even if exaggerated, this is the effing world we are living in. Goodbye The Good Fight. It was fun!

I just finished episode 5, and so far Mou Mou has been the only remotely interesting episode this season.
-
Now days they do accept some "overweight" models. Not because they really like it, for PR /PC reasons I am afraid...
-
The more this paranoia progresses the more I see the similarities with our real world. So much, that sometimes it becomes really unsettling. Yes, that's it, this show can be really fun but also really unsettling.

Right now is a tie between Bailey and Lucy. However Celina is approaching with very good chances! This will be close.
