I thinks the Kensi and Deeks scenes are lacking spark. The whole show is, tbh. I liked D&K a lot in the beginning of their partnership, maybe the first three or four seasons, but I think their story, like the whole show, has run its course. Outside them having the kids they fought over so much or splitting up there's just nowhere to go. And everyone seems very...low energy in their scenes.

It seems like Syfy would've been a good option. Firefly premiered in '02 which is the same year Stargate SG1 switched to Syfy from Showtime, which required just as much if not more special effects. A year or two later is when Syfy picked up Battlestar Galactica, which also required a ton of effects and featured a Firefly shoutout in it's premiere. I always wondered if one of the reasons Whedon went with Fox was his long-running complaint that Buffy would've gotten more awards had it aired on a bigger network.

Given where Whedon intended to take the show w/r/t Inara (sacrificial gang rape, yay!), it's probably for the best that the network did intervene (even if it wasn't for that reason).

I don't think I ever made if oast season three because I have no idea what you're talking about and I'm very, very glad. WTF? They killed Jack? One of the best tv dads? I will never finish this series.

She should, and she had a lot of anger about his death. But Eve is not a normal person having a normal response. She's been able to control her issue longer and better than others like her but this is a woman who dug a knife into her own leg while entranced by thoughts of Villanelle killing and knew exactly how she'd kill her husband if she wanted to. And those two incidents were just from the series premiere.

Well, I'm calling bullshit on that being the truth about Kenny's death. Setting aside the fact that Kenny didn't scream as he fell, which is odd no matter how he died (and if he was dead before he hit the ground you'd expect that would have come out in an autopsy), he landed parallel to the building he was pushed from. And in the video of him and Konstantin he isn't hesitant or scared and in fact leaves the room before Konstantin of his own will. Now, if we're supposed to think that the scene of Kenny at his desk earing footsteps (after Eve has called him to accept his iffer of drinks) immediately proceeds his death, there's the issue of his phone. Kenny sets the phone down on his desk yet Eve finds it on a large table by the window a good ten to twelve feet away from Kenny's desk.

If the argument is that network heads screw over/'intentionally tank' some shows by scheduling them wrong and such then the assumption is those shows would have done well had they been scheduled properly. If they would have done well had they been scheduled properly then they would have made money for the network. How is a tax loss write-off preferable then? (Not to mention having to constantly develop new projects and gaining a reputation for intentionally killing shows?) Sometimes a show just doesn't appeal to people and it isn't going to matter what time it's scheduled for, especially in the age of dvr and next day streaming.

Why would a network come up out of pocket, minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars but just as often millions of dollars per episode, to produce a show and then intentionally tank it? The board is fine with this because...? It's a business, the purpose is to make money. Who are these network heads supposedly blowing literally tens of millions a year on shows they're sabotaging and why do they still have jobs?

Very low-rated shows that get cancelled aren't being screwed over by their networks. And defending such a show as a cult favorite does it no favors and indicates nothing other than the fanbase is probably annoying. I say this as someone who has liked plenty of small shows that were cancelled after a season or two.

Telling, tho, that she only reneged on the deal and killed the masters because the main one kept insulting her. Prior to that she had been genuine in her dealings with him.

She had all the trappings of an underdog-to-hero type and people just refused to look deeper or, y'know listen to the words coming out of her mouth. By the end of the first season she was demanding gratitude from a woman who had been raped four or five times after Dany had pushed Drogo to invade their village. Dany barely cared about the human cost of Targaryen restoration and at the end of the day was never going to let it stand in her way. She was too far gone by the time she bought the Unsullied, ten thousand enslaved men, and stood with a whip in her hand ordering them to kill the masters without an ounce of self awareness.

I had to laugh when Villanelle just stepped over Konstantin as he was turning ashy. He left his daughter in an asylum/jail, Villanelle left him on the train platform, both promising to come back. What a hilariously twisted little family. Honestly, Dasha had it coming. She just kept pressing on Villanelle, almost right from the beginning. What did she expect? She should have known Villanelle might try to kill her, especially after Villanelle admitted she wanted out. Reality has been catching up to everyone this season, they're paying the price of the lives they lead. I wonder what that will mean for Eve in the finale.

I wonder if they finished filming before all this started and, if so, when season two will air.

Was I the only one that thought there was something going on with Carolyn and the knife? Like Geraldine was eyeing it and Carolyn was all oooof oooooh about her wound but the second she got Geraldine over there to tend to her hand and drop her guard she flipped the conversation around and nailed her daughter. And then just walked away fine all, "let me know when dinner's ready". I'm not sure but part of me thinks that not only is there a lot more to Geraldine but that Carolyn suspects/knows that it's bad. Maybe Geraldine killed Kenny or is working with The Twelve. Oh, Konstantin. You thought you could be a killer who handles killers and still have a normal family life and raise a normal daughter. I didn't think it was out of character for Irina to kill her stepfather simply because they haven't shown before if she's moral or not. She's clearly been more than aware of what her father and Villanelle are and yet mostly just seems annoyed that her role as Konstantin's daughter was challenged.

Villanelle's mother didn't strike me as a narcissist at all. Rather there seemed to be a void there. She has a body and she can cry and dance but inside there's just....nothing. She had this stare around Villanelle, like she was looking directly at who Villanelle really is rather than who she pretends to be. And she found it exhausting. Raising a daughter just like herself must have been so tiring; she couldn't bare to have another one around the house so she got rid of her.
