Kinda sorta. It's going to follow the Manga more closely than the series from the 80s. First hint is Ranma-chan's pink hair, instead of the red hair from the 80s series. A lot of anime have gotten that treatment recently. Of course Full Metal Alchemist is a famous example, but even One Piece is getting it now. This is also why it's still set in the 80s, like the Manga was.

Why does everybody keep confessing to nosy church lady?! You are catholic, you have priests for that. Priest, who cannot disclose what you confessed.

Watched it. The story is actually an exact copy. I don't think they changed anything but the locations. But Bad Sisters has better cinematagrophy, better production design and a bit better acting. So really no need to see the original, I'd say.

For that matter. Why isn't he going to confession? Aren't they all catholic? A priest can't talk about a past crime, that he learned about during confession, as long as nobody is in danger. The prick is dead and the sisters don't plan on killing anybody else. So no problem confessing to a priest.

I just found out that season 1 seems to be a remake, that seems to be pretty much 1:1. I'm now wondering if I should watch the original. I could see the murderer there being a different one. Remakes like to change such things... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1783844/

Nothing pissed her off. She feels bad, because it is a voicemail of Olympia's dead father, she had on her computer, but seemingly didn't back up anywhere else. The advice on the voicemail was also the advice Olympia had given to Matty earlier in the episode. Which is why Matty had to reaffirm to herself that they aren't friends, as to not do anything dumb, like give the voice mail back, out of guilt.

All David E. Kelley lawyer shows are very much recommended. At the moment he has the Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix, which is quite a bit more serious than his usual fare, bit still very good. There is even a show from him with Kathy Bates as a lawyer, called Harry's Law. Sadly it didn't last super long. I personally loved Diagnosis Murder and Columbo as a kid. So it's not just for old people. Also Columbo is just objectively great.

We did see the egyptian god of death in moon night. I think the black panther version was more metaphorical. I don't remember any god of death in thor. Was he in the big god meeting? Anyway, yes there are quite a few gods of death in the MCU, as most of the pantheons of old are real there, but that's also why gods are a dime a dozen in that universe. Rio is Lady Death. She is the Death. Unless they are going to completely change her status from the comics, which seems unlikely, she is unique and not like the other girls. And Agatha, technically. She survived the road. She died in Westview. Yeah I think people overinterpret that line a bit. I've heard similar sentiment from mothers and especially from mothers in media before, that it's a miracle, that they made a human and all that. Why was it worded like that, a bit awkwardly? Because they had called him Nicholas Scratch before in the spirit trial and they needed to explain where he got that second name. And why did they do that? Because that's his name in the comics and they wanted to put that easter egg in for the comic readers. Not sure if she was "always" evil. But certainly for a long, long time.

Yeah the making off was great. I was reminded of the breakdown Ian McKellen had during the filming of the Hobbit, when he couldn't take solely acting against a green screen anymore, never even seeing his co-stars. (This is the best video I can find, there used to be better ones, but they seem to be lost.) But I was reminded of it, because here it seems to have been the complete opposite. All the actors actually became so close, they called themselves a coven and I thuroughly believe that wasn't just some marketing spiel. Because shortly after wrapping, Aubrey Plaza moved in with Patti LuPone and Patti made her soup every day. Also most of the effects were practical. I noticed during the show, but a lot of them I didn't even think about, because they were just so well done. I only thought about them when they were pointed out during the making off. That also must help the actors a lot to get into the spirit of things. The parts about the balad were very interesting. I still can't get it out of my head. Those two composers are pure evil. But I guess we knew that since the time they wrote "let it go". Love them and what they do.

It's a bit hard to believe that a law firm wouldn't have checked her references more thuroughly. Like the simplest thing. There would be no record of a Madeline Matlock passing the bar and there is no way her 12 year old grandson could fabricate that evidence. Also the odds that a rich white lady dies from opiods is really slim. You can find some concierge doctor who will prescribe you high quality oxy forever. What would have stoped them from actually having a broke ex-lawyer who is now having to raise her grandson, because her daughter died? Did they think the insanely rich lady was more relatable? But this was fun and Kathy Bates is a great actress. So I think I can let those things slide, to make the setup work.

Well this certainly was something. It seems they knew they would be getting a season 3 before this one was even shot, so that makes this massive cliffhanger make more sense. Otherwise that would have been a bit too ballsy for my taste. There have been too many shows that ended with things being unresolved just like this. That might also mean that we get the next season next year and not have a two year gap, like last time. One can hope. I'm wondering who will come back knowing what next season. Seems at least Lucy remembers, with the stinger at the end. I guess with the revelation that sometimes it's the future, the dog that bit Issac might have been in an upcoming loop, which would make it make more sense that "mommy chased the dog away" and bandaged his leg. In an earlier episode Gideon said that the worse outcome would be that they put them in a psych ward, addle their minds with therapy and medication, make them forget, which would lead to a hard reset. Which seems fishy. I mean how would Gideon know that that's a possibility in the first place? And that seems very much out of the possibility of something psychiatry can do, if memories are persistent over multiple lifetimes, because then they can't be just brain structures. But I guess we had to up the stakes somehow and explain why Gideon would kill Lucy. Yeah. - Give a fake name at the hospital. - Wear an infrared LED necklace so security cameras can't pick you up. - Put a GPS tracker on the car so you don't have to go to the hospital in the first place - Wear gloves and a hair net when you break into somewhere. - Stall Ravi a bit longer. She almost had him completely convinced but then seemingly gave up. How about try it with the truth "Yes she is there, but here is what is really going on. Search your feelings, you know it to be true." - Keep the door to the room where you have your prisoner locked. Why would you think it would be a good idea to let anybody wander in? You have a bunch of unstable people in your house. - Make sure the map is fully burned. Just because you hear something go clang is not a sufficient reason to abandon this very important task. - Probably some things I forgot. I mean she is supposed to be an amalgamation of her former lifes and this one now, right? She has always been a police officer before and a super calm and collected person. This frantic behaviour just doesn't fit her anymore. But I have to say, Ravi didn't make the greatest decisions either. He always gets beat up or killed in close combat. Maybe don't get that close to suspects all the time and wear a stab proof west, my dude. Hopefully not too long.

I'm just at the point of the episode where the detectives are processing the crime scene, where lucy shot the guy. I'm thinking: "Okay she is not in the system, so even with her hair and maybe prints, she probably won't be found." Then they find the car under the tarp and I'm like "Oh Lucy was a dumbass and gave the owner of the car and the nurse her real name. Plus she was on video. So if they question the car owner, her name will come up, they can arrest her for imporsonating a police officer and since she is tied to the case, that will give them enough cause to take her prints and DNA... Good going there..." And yep, later in the episode they tied her to the car. That scene in the hospital was really emotional. I actually had tears in my eyes. Well at the end there they got some good escalation going for the final episode.

Gideon and Lucy only put a camera there, watching the car? They didn't put a GPS tracker on it? Are they morons? No seriously, you'd think with thousands of lifetimes from Gideon and Lucy having been a detective in her last life they would be able to come up with something, I came up with within 5 seconds after my one lifetime (that hopefully isn't even half over). They were extremely lucky that the guy who owned the car knew the guy who stole the car. You can't get to the BIOS of a computer from the windows login screen. I guess this was done for brevity, since you could turn the Laptop off, turn it back on and then hammer F12 (or other keys, depending on the model) to get to the BIOS, but you know, these details kinda bug me a bit. But of course the guy wasn't actually it. Why did they even think it was? What tied the guy to the bomber in the last loop? I didn't quite get that. Isaac seems to be slipping more and more. It's getting interesting. Also he said that mommy scared the dog away. That basically has to mean he sliped a loop further back than the loop we've been seeing. Because it didn't seems like detective Lucy saw Issac ever again. Agreed. I already said that in a last season episode thread. Due to the butterfly effect there should be millions of children like Isaac.

I'm still unsure why I should care about the bombing case or any of this. If the same cycle happens over and over again, what will it help to save people one go around? And if you do, doesn't that mean massive changes down the line? What if you shake the killer loose and he comes after you in every lifetime? That seems unpleasent. Some things just don't seem totally thought through. Also if Lucy's mom's body rejected her continued life, won't the same happen to at least some of the people they save? But even given all that this show is still interesting and well acted. It is also interesting having the two last loops shown kinda mixed together in this season. Also Ravi is way sexier with the beard. He was right last episode. Lucy meeting Ravi in the second lifetime again after getting her memories back was cute. Seeing her try to keep it straight. Sad that there is so much deception involved in their relationship now. I thought Ravi must be shooting blanks at first, in the beard-loop, since we know Lucy has a kid this loop. But maybe her traumatic childhood caused her to not be able to conceive or something along those lines. Because for Ravi not that much has changed and this loop he seems to get her pregnant without even trying. So soon we'll have another kid like Isaac, I guess?

You know I'm a bit dense. I never quite put it together that Lucy is always the detective who catches Gideon in every lifetime but the one we've seen in season 1. I thought it was Ravi. Somehow I thought Lucy was a detective for the first time "this" go-around, when we saw a short tease of it at the end of last season. So this was the loop that happened before last season. With Gideon waiting for Lucy "just this once". Interesting. There was also a massive red herring at the end of last season. They made it seem like Lucy was dying and a new loop was starting. But that's not what happened. Instead we flashed back to last loop. I'm wondering if that was always the plan or if they decided on that between seasons.
