  1. S5EP4: A little tedious episode, but I was happy that they managed to make a business deal with the french woman in the end. I continue to be impressed by how smart Robin is, good on him for learning a whole other language just by listening to others speak. S5EP5: Wow, the captain's death scene was really emotional but also the way he went out was so tragic. He got a heart attack from the stress of that situation? That seems a bit much, but it is what it is. I like that the show finally tackled the idea of these ghosts moving on at some point, although in a very surface level way. And I don't get that, they knew this was the final season. The ghosts could have started resolving their inner traumas and hangups which probably allow them to move onto the next phase of existence. And each episode could have been focused on 1-2 different ghosts dealing with their issues and finding relief, then moving on. Now that would be an interesting final season. But the show just continues to focus upon the ghosts hanging out as a family unit and not even trying to understand the mysteries of their condition. S5EP6: I was surprised when Pete started to insult Robin's intelligence because that is the one thing he always did have. I was also surprised with them making a series finale like this. I was left with a feeling of...that was it? A fake breakup and a contest over the affections of a woman neither contestant has a chance with are not particularly special or hard-hitting storylines for a series finale. Even the 5th episode was more inventive than that! This felt just like any other episode, not a grand finale. Are they planning to do a big goodbye with the christmas episode, is that why this was so average? Very weird.
  2. S5EP1: I thought this was a really good concept for an episode. The way the ghosts got Alison in the beginning was really good, but also a great start for the season. I particularly enjoyed her prank on Thomas. With the background music and the use of warmer tones for the cinematography, they set such a good mood that was very appropriate for the occasion. And I loved the inspectors line about only real life being that absurd because well yeah, real life is often more wild than the things we can come up with. Finally, the pregnancy announcement took me by surprise. I did not expect the show to go there, but good for them! I am curious to see how this show will handle that storyline. S5EP2: The whole south vs north debate wasn't really clear to me, but I guess it's one of those things that only UK people understand. I liked how poetic Frannie was and her realization about home by the end of the episode, even giving her blessing! I'm curious to see what else happens.
  3. EP7: Through watching these episodes I kept thinking that they should just have a stun gun. They could shoot Mary when she turns into a wolf and then a whole lot of this destruction and dangerous situations could be tempered, like when Gary had to enter the room while Mary was a wolf. Overall season thoughts: Well, it was good and I was entertained, although out of 7 episodes, Gary was a colossal jerk to random strangers in at least 5 episodes, which I did not like, even in the final episode he just stole the ambulance and they drove through so many restricted areas. After a while it's just not cool. On another hand, I don't know how much life the show can have in it's current format. It is a good and engaging story, but it doesn't seem to be booming in popularity and I get why, releasing just 7 episodes per year makes it hard to bond with the characters or really care about them, and there is a lot of potential in the show's concept, it could easily go for at least 13-15 episodes per season, maybe even with a weekly airing format, I think it would work for this one. I will be surprised if it is renewed for season 3, but also if it is, I am sure that will be the final one because the available content is just very minimal.
  4. EP4: I don't really remember what Gary does for work. We see he has some sort of corporate job where he is mean to his co-workers, but I was surprised when he could pay out 25 000 for a door just like that, no thoughts about it. Guess he is very rich. I am not happy about Anton showing up, it is so typical and stupid how he is here to represent a different philosophical approach about accepting and celebrating your wolf self. And of course they had to make Mary cheat on Gary with him, but it's okay because they did it as wolves...come on now. Wasn't there any other storyline they could have thought of? Stupid. And clichée!! EP5: Well, I liked that Mary told Anton to leave and leave her alone. Hopefully that is the end of this (stupid) storyline. There is enough drama in the show without including a love triangle. It was funny when Gary thought the homeless guy had some deep insight! Poor thing. I did like how he held his own when Anton tried to insult him. The scene was a little cringe, but overall I am rooting for our public safety hazard guy. And the end scene when he and Mary came back together, presumably stronger than ever was so sweet. I hope they can move on from this incident.
  5. Is anyone else enjoying Gene's more frequent presence these past two episodes? I like the idea of a normal human having to interact with the weird world of Rick's family.
  6. EP3: That is one efficient school counsellor! I was surprised how smoothly they handled the bunny's death. No drama about it at all.
  7. The "I heard your hearts dancing', reaction from Lestat broke my heart. I like it when his voice goes from 0 to 100. I also love Louis’ response to that, where he says something like “you were standing there watching like some CREEPER!” That whole part made me laugh.
  8. EP1: Well, the show certainly does a good job of conveying the suspense / worry the parents feel about how their child will turn out. And that really is the main focus at this point. I really liked how Mary handled the situation in the principal's office and how she put that rich lady in her place. That was very cool. EP2: When the episode opened with a white rabbit, I already knew that by the end of the episode, he was gonna be a goner. The show did a great job of building the suspense with Gary stuck in the house, even though realistically, with him being the main character of the show I knew no real harm was going to come to him in EP2 of the new season.
  9. So they show us nothing of the actually interesting character (Lestat) but make us sit through this annoying, wimpy take on Armand😡? I see lots of scene skipping in the future
  10. I'm rewatching this little gem of a show and ugh, the scene where Nell reveals her miscarriage is so good! The more I re-watch the more I notice what a great job the actress did, putting these emotions in just the right words. It really makes me feel things.
  11. Well, the they are already sowing the seeds of jealousy Veg will feel, he noticed that Lisa was sharing her joy with Danny, not him. I thought the bahtroom repairman's storyline was really funny and also cute with that small-stake marital debate. The best plotline of the series so far.
  12. I watched the first 3 episodes today, and I think that's where I'll stop. The main problem with this show is that not one character is likeable. In fact, most of them are actively horrible. Whoever voices the mantitaur is doing a terrible job, every line they say annoys me with that style of pronounciation they use. And it is just not funny. 3 whole episodes and it did not even make me smile once, but it did succeed in making me feel aggravated by it's stupidity. It's a shame as I love mythology, I wish this could have been better.
  13. Fun update: Marcel Spears just became a father last week! He has a baby girl.
  14. New series debuts on november 9 on Apple TV
  15. In the abscence of any new shows, I started rewatching season 4 of this little gem. One thing that stood out to me on the re-watch that I like is that despite everything going on, the one constant thing is that Abishola and Bob are well-suited to each other and they make each other feel better just with their presence. It is such a nice dynamic we don't see much in entertainment and it was illustrated in a great way in the final scene of this episode.
  16. This show should be re-booted. With the new cultural landscape there are so many more places they could go.
  17. OK but like am I the only one who couldn't care less about "catching Rick prime"? Like, this big overarching theme about Rick's (uninteresting) backstory and the exploration of why the way he is the way he is and getting revenge is, first of all a very cliche story, secondly it's just boring and not interesting. Just give us fun episodes exploring different absurd concepts there is no need for all this "hurr durr I will avenge my dead wife" BS.
  18. OMG the way I called it!!! Well, that was a good finale. Other than Sheila not getting a positive romantic ending, everyone else's storyline wrapped up very well. I do feel that Sheila's journey is not even close to being over yet and I'd be happy to watch another 10 episodes of her just figuring out how to be happy, but we were already lucky to get a season 3 and she was left in a much better place than where she started. I don't know if it was necessary to give so much credit to Bunny, but that's how they chose to play it and that's fine.
  19. I am curious if they will do a thing where they bring back everyone for the finale. Bunny / Tyler / Breem / Danny's campaign manager / Sheila's mother
  20. Well, I am not sure what was the point of this episode, specially when we only have 1 more to go. There was way too much Danny. And it was sort of like a play, them just talking about random things. The thing is, it was not engaging at all, and I kept waiting for the episode to just end. They have a lot to do next week, I hope they get this right. But I don't see how can they accomplish everything they need to in just 30 minutes.
  21. S3EP07: Oh wow, the show is really knocking it out of the park in it's final season. The therapy session between Sheila and Breem was so cool. And I loved the demonstration of Sheila's inner struggle while she was having dinner with Carlos. And it was even better when she was alone in her bed. Breem and his wife bonding in that destructive way at the end was kind of cute I guess. Their relationship is so weird.
  22. EP 6: I love how Danny's sister keeps explaining his behavior and giving us the necessary context to understand his behaviour. Sheila's honest moment was amazing, and so well acted. I had to re-watch it 3 times. The show is really going out on a bang, can't wait to see what happens next.
  23. I don't understand why the trailer just focused on Loui. Lestat was the strong point of the series and he's also more important in the books. It just doesn't make sense.
