When Ray told the actor to go back to his trailer and say he fell asleep after drinking with Mickey, and called Ezra and told him to meet the guy there, and they showed the dead girl on the floor, the first thing that popped in my head was, "A career is born!" There would be a lot of questions about Mickey's murder. He was shot from behind, and from the door way, first of all, which they will easily deduce. That doesn't work with Ray inside the room. And Ray has a bullet in his gut from a gun that is not present at the scene. So the question they will have is, who shot Ray? It will be a tangled web to figure out depending on how Ray would play it. He would need to concoct some kind of fictitious scenario involving another gunman at the scene who shot him and fled. Even so, how and where Mickey was shot would be hard to explain in whatever story Ray comes up with. Another guy shot Ray, so Ray shot Mickey in the back of the head? Yeesh! I liked the movie. I get what people here are saying that it was too neat and trite and predictable. But you have to understand that Liev Schreiber expected a full season eight to wrap things up and they had already story boarded the main plot for the season when the show was cancelled. They were only given a little under two hours to tie things up so they had to keep the main plot very simple and straightforward so they had time for the flashbacks and all the reflective character moments. I thought they did a great job given what they had to work with. I don't think Mickey was retconned at all. He is portrayed as a shitheel in the flashbacks, and in the present he still tries to make things right by getting a Ray a pile of money from the Sullivan stock, which has always been his MO. Fix the family he has broken by getting them some money. He always genuinely had affection for his sons, but that didn't change the fact that he was a terrible father. Ray made peace with Mickey at the end. He didn't exonerate him for his past sins. The movie gave closure to the series, and I am good with that.

So when Miguel was in the examination room with his back, who thought that Daniel was going to walk and and start rubbing his hands together? Instead he got a bottle of lube from Johnny, lol. Terry Silver started the season as the voice of sense and reason, and ended it as Terry the Sociopath again. The writers were sure all over the place with this guy. I was actually annoyed as the season progressed. It's clear that kids are just pawns in this ongoing war between Daniel, Johnny, Kreese, and Terry. And it's going to continue next season. I'm glad they are bringing Chosen back. He could take out all four of those numbskulls by himself and put an end to this nonsense.

Haha this makes me laugh! The 90 Days franchise is filled condescending racism as well as economic prejudice, and downplays everything from stalking to verbal and physical abuse. They just edit it to make it digestible for the audience.

Yeah, TLC permits you to be as gross and offensive as you want (Angela *cough*), or be exposed as a grifter (Mohamed). They even encourage you to be. And criminal records? Not a problem. Even domestic violence is okay. But if you said the N-Word sometime in your past, you're out!

If I was in that class I would have torn every one of them a new a$$hole.

They should never have done Laconia, it was completely unfinished. Who cares if it's in the books? If you can't understand the point of a story just from watching the show itself and need to look up another medium like a book to make sense of it, then the story was poorly told. I also did not get why the little brother acted normal more or less when his sister found him, then started acting like a Walking Dead zombie when his parents saw him, causing them to freak out. Then when the sister got him out of the closet he was acting normal again. Just his eyes were black. WTF? The main story, though, was great. I loved the final scenes with Amos and Bobbie and Amos and Clarissa, Holden and Naomi, Holden and Drummer, Holden and Avasarala. Filip is a dangling thread. Will he reunite with his mother? Will have to leave that up to the imagination. I will miss this show, one of my favorite sci-fi shows ever and objectively probably the best one ever.

Same. I loved each and every character because Gervais showed how much he loved each and every character. You liked and cared for them all. Similar characters like Brian, James, and Lenny are often mocked and belittled for cheap laughs on other shows, but on After Life you want to be their friends. I will miss this show, which ended far too soon. Yet it also ended at the perfect moment. One of the most beautiful shows I have ever seen.

I call BS on the tie. Johnny deserved a win after Daniel has gotten the upper hand on him all these years. Plus I am sick and tired of Larusso's smugness. Of all the adults, is Terry Silver of all people the only real adult in the room?

Ironically, this picture makes me think of Kody more 😂

No quarantine rules for the unnecessary nanny, only for Kodvid's "wives" and kids. I can't even watch for more than a few minutes now. As soon as Kodvid is on the screen I have to change the channel. Please cancel this show so that his money dries up and they have to foreclose on Robyn's $800,000 house and fire the nanny and go live in a trailer in Tuscon or something. It would be a fitting and satisfying end.

I tried watching the other night for the first time in two weeks, and after several minutes of Kodvid logging with his two sons and yammering about Covid and people not being loyal to him, I had enough. I can't take having that guy on my tv screen. [re-posting in the correct thread]

Three dirty mattresses he probably grabbed from a local homeless camp. If the kids missed the jump, the outcome was either critical injury or catching hepatitis!

This show is starting to jump the shark for me. Johnny saved this episode with his wisecracks during Daniel's Eagle Fang training and at the hockey game. Anthony's story I don't care about. The bullying sub-plot with the nerd kid is a cliche-ridden rehash of Daniel getting bullied in The Karate Kid. And the kids doing the bullying looked like they would be on the receiving end in real life, especially the twerpy ringleader. Tory I don't give a crap about. I'm tired of her sob story about how she has to work to put food on the table and poor me I can't get a job because no one wants to hire a girl who physically assaults people all the time. Get over yourself. A lot of kids come from worse backgrounds than you. She is completely annoying and I have no sympathy for her. Take an anger management class and get your act together, girl. Kreese is funny and hams it up in his role as the villain, but how many more seasons can they recycle this plot where 70 year old dudes have to beat their middle-aged former proteges, and where the good kids and the bad kids battle it out endlessly? They had the big high school showdown, then the big Larussa house showdown. After everything that's happened, youth karate in the greater San Fernando Valley area would have been permanently banned by this point. Lawsuits and criminal charges would be flying all over the place. Yeah I know, it's just a show, but the first two seasons they kept things fairly plausible and realistic. Now Cobra Kai is turning into Karate Kid 3. Of course, that makes sense with Terry Silver joining.

Yeah well, don't get me started on Game of Thrones. You can watch You Tube videos that rework all of season 8 and turn that train wreck into a spectacular finish.

Wow, what a messed-up end for Harrison. Has to leave his girlfriend behind without even saying goodbye, leave the town he wanted to be his home, now essentially homeless, no high school diploma, no money. WTF? Why did he have to leave if Angela was going to make it look like she shot Dexter? Just send him back to her house. Making it look like she shot Dexter was messed-up too. She wiped the rifle down, but would she need to put her prints on it? She obviously didn't shoot Dexter with her own gun, no bullet match. And why would she shoot him with that rifle? The season had a lot of good things, but also things that didn't make sense, plus some plot dead-ends. Why would Harrison still be on the wrestling team after intentionally breaking an opponent's arm? He would have been thrown off the team and probably suspended from school. The family probably would have sued him and Dexter. The oil tycoon guy, what was the point of him? They kept sticking him into scenes in the early going to where you thought he might be Iron Lake's serial killer, then the character was completely abandoned. So he was just a red herring? Overall I liked the ending for its finality. I thought the actress playing Angela did a great job, and I enjoyed her being the one to finally catch Dexter Morgan. The final moment between a dying Dexter and fantasy Debra was touching. It was also great bringing back Angel Batista and I liked the montage of people Dexter killed/ruined. I also always wanted justice for Doakes, and now his name is cleared. So a way better conclusion to the series than the end of season eight. But yeah, there were quite a few head-scratchers this season. And fyi, on the question over how Logan died and how well they presented it, I actually did know right way that Dexter broke his neck. He thought-bubbled right before for Logan to not be a hero, and as soon as Logan fired his gun, of course Dexter would finish him off because if he didn't then Logan would turn and fire into the cell until Dexter was dead.

I was thinking the same thing in the final scene with Drummer and Avasarala. It felt like the kind of moment you would see at the halfway point of a season, setting up the second half. Not a scene setting up the final 45 minutes of a series.

Angel was out doing blow and Miami hookers and Debra was getting drunk.

This show is unwatchable now. Kodvid is determined to destroy his family over the pandemic so he can jettison everyone except for Robyn and her kids. I could only watch snippets of scenes this week to get the gist of it. Hope this show gets cancelled.

Reason Number One why two people in a relationship should not be serving together in wartime. Holden needed to let Marco and Filip get blown up.

I think it's like vanilla extract, you should only use a couple of drops mixed with something else. 😄

Just a general review of the season, I really liked it overall. There were a few missteps with the behavior and motivations of some characters, but I was totally invested in the politics and intrigue this season, which is what I have always loved about The Witcher. The characters are for the most part very well written and have complex motivations which makes them interesting. No one is truly "good" or "bad". You sympathize with Francesca when they murder her baby, then she turns around and commits mass infanticide. So many stories in fantasy settings keep everything black and white, but Witcher always deals in shades of gray. The first season was very disjointed with them jumping all over the timeline, but the narrative this season was very focused. Geralt's complicated relationship with both Ciri and Yennefer was really on display in the season finale. The reveal of Ciri's father at the end was a great way to foreshadow next season.

Yes, there is no denying the magic that happens when these two are on the screen together. “I’m just too sad and complicated!” (Jaskier doing a Geralt voice). You just don’t this kind of repartee with Triss or Yennefer!

This family is infected with the Kodvid virus.

Could be. I can't tell from one shot if that's technology or just magic powering those ships. Good point on the yin-yang, that this could be Earth far in the future.
