I think it is interesting that the longer all of this goes on, the more Eve and Villanelle become like the other. Eve has some bitchy, sociopath impulses, and Villanelle is wanting to be thanked/appreciated. Although I hope they don't try some redemption arc with her, because realistically, you can't redeem a psychopath who has murdered god knows how many people. The Villanelle/Nico confrontation was amusing; Nico threatening someone who could so very easily kill him in the blink of an eye. Everything about Carolyn continues to fascinate me, whether she can be trusted or not.

Again, the voice of Phoebe Waller-Bridge is missed, although this episode was enjoyable. It just doesn't feel the same as last year yet, although I'm hoping as it gets going more, I will be more excited by it again. I'm not re-watching as much as last year yet. Have we found out yet what was in Nadia's note to Eve?

I'm pretty sure Konstantin isn't dead. Question is, is he going to come back into the picture as an ally to Villanelle (I mean, she was just doing her job and all! 😉 ) or as another one tracking her. And it's going to be interesting to see how well she survives with no source of income, although living by her wits shouldn't be too hard.

Slightly underwhelming premiere, but still solid from the two leads. Yeah, I knew Gabriel was a goner once they had talked more, but the abruptness of it was still alarming; although Villanelle being so kind and touchy should have been a dead giveaway. I wonder if Niko will ever know the extent of how much his wife has changed? I mean, before he dies and stuff. I may have missed an announcement, I saw two new actors being added to the show for season 2, but didn't see if Helena has left the show? That would be a shame, I would like a side view of her and Kenny getting together. I'm kind of glad that Carolyn has shown herself to be untrustworthy, whether she is part of the 12 or not. She's still funny as heck though.

SO looking forward to this show coming back on tomorrow! The previews have me intrigued, and I could see Villanelle being childlike enough to put all of what happened as "look at how much she loves me, she had to prove she could be more like me" or some twisted thing like that. So looking forward to this dark humor again! I've re-watched season 1 a couple of times recently, in anticipation!

A) it was tongue in cheek B) anyone else subjected to being around it could have complained as well C) "and other unprofessional behaviors...."

Rossi retires, Reid marries and JJ is the new "wheel's up" chickadee. And Garcia is fired for years of sexual harrassment and other unprofessional behavior! ;)

Maybe that speaks even more to the fact that Villainelle is successful because women are not taken seriously as assassins? I mean, even by MI6! ;)

I thought she was telling him "enough", as in stop trying. But yeah, maybe she was trying to tag in. As a nurse, I HATE seeing CPR done so badly on television, because I worry about whether lay people will think that's right and try it in a time of emergency. No, you can't do actual CPR on an actor, because injury will result, but for those scenes, just throw in a dummy.

Yeah, keep the arms straight, and speed it up dude! And what's with JJ just watching? CPR is HARD (when done right), and there's a reason why you're supposed to trade out after 2 minutes. I would assume that superstar JJ (gag) would know CPR and be able to tag in.

Max, the guy who told Frank he would give him anything but a cuddle, was still alive, but when Eve was going down the hall to see Frank in the bedroom it did show one or two dead bodies lying on the floor.

Is it from "The Internet is forever"? Where Reid is explaining the facial symmetry of the victims as their link to each other?

Well, it looked like it was in the left lower abdominal quadrant; and other than descending colon (and ovary), there isn't much in terms of organs in that region, and not critical ones. (nurse here)

That was the end. No previews for next season or anything. Eve just asked "Where" and it was fade to black

Um, holy crap. I want to watch this episode again right now and I have to go to work. But I have to say, they ended this season in a character expanding way, with Eve proving that she's not the innocent and naive desk jockey anymore, Carolyn still being a bit of a mystery, and Villanelle with a new grudge to carry over into season 2. Gotta say, the scenes with V and Konstantin's daughter were gold!

Villanelle and Frank in the bathroom, when she is talking about what happens when you die, was completely chilling to me. She seemed so fascinated in what she sees when a person dies, and yet, so clinical...and she is able to detach from that fascination immediately to get back to business. While I loved the dinner faceoff for the black humor and watching cat and cat (let's face it, there is no mouse in this scenario) read each other up close, V talking about the soul shrinking with death was the high point of the episode for me.

While I hated the whole "Ghost Island" premise (really, they need fewer advantages, not more, and most of these "cursed" things ended up the same way), I did think the strongest three made it to the final. I spent a long time not knowing names or tribes, and not caring, even after the merge; for me it's only been the last 5 or 6 weeks that people have gelled for me. But I liked Laurel and Wendell all along, and grew to like Dom as well (especially in the text of Chris vs. Dom). I think the two tied players were both worthy winners for their overall gameplay, immunity wins, social game, and for being on top of decisions being made. It's rare that I don't care about which of two people wins because they BOTH deserve it (usually, it's because of "meh, whatever"). Would love to go back to a vintage season of Survivor with no idols, less food, and getting back to true survival strategy, both physical and mental. I'm sure that won't happen, but I can dream!

Considering the fact that Carolyn was the person who was in charge of Niko's security, wonder what the odds are that he's not answering Eve's calls just because he's peeved?

I think the dynamic between Villanelle and Konstantin was so layered in this one; it looked like the shoe was on the other foot and he was the one B.S.ing her, and she had tears in her eyes....so is that because she actually HAS some normal human emotions, or that she's programmed herself well enough to show emotion when she feels they should be?
