Just because you don't get 20 mystery boxes thrown at you and surprised every 5 minutes, doesn't mean it's a bad show. I recommend this video to break out of that mindset: That would be fairer to actual comedies. The voters will always prefer dramitc acting to comedy acting, even though the later is at least as difficult as the former.

Having to keep your hand on some thing to win it wasn't exactly invented by survivor. Ymmv. I usually love quirky stuff, but this show overdoes it and it often seems forced, at least in the first few episodes. It does get better later.

Well putting this show in its current form in the comedy category would be ridiculous, but I guess that hasn't stopped award shows before.

Are they? Has that been announced yet? I don't see how they could be. It's not like you can put The Last of Us into "limited series" with a season two with the same characters on the way. For limited series it can be the same actors in another season, but it has to be different characters. Or are they categorising Barry as comedy? Because that would be a massive stretch, especially with this season. Seems far fetched, considering what he actually said on screen. That seems like the real explaination, yes.

That's why I said further down "especially the legacy characters". They should have learned by now. Also it's not like a character can't make a mistake, but if they are making all the typical horror movie mistakes, while supposedly being genre savy, it's just ridiculous.

I'm very sad about Cristobal. Count me to the ones who think he didn't know what leaving Hank meant. He gave no indication that he knew that he was going to be dead soon. He literally said "You are going to let me drive away from here and we are never going to speak to each other ever again." Also I think had he known, he would have played along for a bit and then escaped at some point. What would have been the point to just let himself get killed? I know there have been quite a few side character deaths on this show. But this one was so late in the game and kind of unnecessary, that I kinda get the feeling of "bury your gays". It's probably not the writers intention, but if you have so little representation of loving same sex relationships every instance hurts. I can see how that can come across kinda shitty, but there is such a thing as being the right type for a character. Charlie Day can't play Conan the Barbarian and Sally can't play an amazon. I'm sure there are some meaty roles for Sally out there. I'm not sure if that is telling us about Sally's negative headspace at the moment, or if we are really meant to believe that this is unfair and some kind of discrimination. There is going to be some stiff competition with the Last of Us. Sure Anthony Carrigan was very good, but have you seen what Nick Offerman did on that show?

Boyd literally said "Let's change the subject." when the chained guy was trying to give him information about what's going on. I didn't make that up. It was like the writers telling us "fuck you!". There was no reason for it and it was completely out of character. I don't pull out the Picard facepalm lightly. I am extremely annoyed.

He did wake up at the end. Now he could have life long serious disabilities, but I'm chosing to believe that's not the case. I doubt Amy will rat him out at this point. The only thing they could really have him on without Amy's testimony is the kidnapping of June, but there George would have to testify, to make that stick, and he just shot and almost killed Danny without provocation. So it's probably in everybody's best interest to keep their mouths shut. So I doubt he'll do a lot of time, if any.

I don't think their lives are ruined. On the contrary. They were never going to be happy. Now they have a chance to be. Yeah it's going to suck for both for a while. But they can rebuild from here. I fast forewarded through parts of the other episodes, but this episode had my ADHD-face glued to the screen. I just love this kind of stuff. I don't see where this could go after all that has happened. All the crazy stuff is done.

I mean he can do that, if it gets him off, but it was very vanilla. I actually thought Amy's critique of that was really unfair. Like, you must have known that he was vanilla in bed before you married him. If you knew you weren't sexually compatible, you really should have pulled the rip cord before you promised to only have sex with him for the rest of your life. There are people who like vanilla and she should have given him the opportunity to find such a person. Are you a man or a woman? There aren't many men who find porn boring. Women usually get off more to fantasy, like romance novels, men usually are more visual. But there are always exceptions and men and women who get off to the opposite of what is typical. I myself kinda like both.

Well, this was amazing. I'm glad I watched this through to the end, even though it was a bit bumpy at some points. Maybe it could have done with two episodes less. But the last two episodes and especially this one made up for a lot. Finally these two could open up to somebody else without the fear of being judged. Because they knew they were both just as fucked up as the other... and the drugs helped. - But for anybody else in that situation, maybe don't eat berries if your only expertise in plants is googling them. Those berries did pretty much look like elder berries, but a lot of berries look like that. Without google and comparing the leaves, I wouldn't have eaten them. You can last a few days without water, but not if you puke out your guts, or if you are dead from poison. Without the internet I'd only feel confident to identify Rubus berries. That whole family looks very distinct and every member is edible. I loved the reintegration of the crows. The story that was told earlier in the season wasn't quite true. But what is true is that they can tell humans apart by our faces and hold a grudge. College students who bagged and taged them would get attacked until they were done with their education and moved away. That's why later such studies had to be done with the researchers wearing masks. Those birds are scary smart.

I'm wondering what that gas was and what it was for? I was expecting knock out gas, but it did nothing... Eh, it was karmic justice. If she had treated her new wife as a human being and not as a disposable thing, that wouldn't have happened to her. Also eat the rich. If they are already minced that's going to be easier. They didn't have enough episodes left for a drawn out hostage negotiation.

Danny really fucked up that bad wiring the house? Didn't he even google it? Did the missing youtube dislikes screw him? I mean I figured it was his wiring that did it, but I didn't think it would be that bad... And while Amy tries to become a better person and comes clean about what she did, he just doubles down. This is so sad. I can see why he wouldn't want to tell his parents, but he should trust his bro. --- I wrote the above before finishing the episode. Throwing away his brother's college letters is really low. I can see now why there can never be real trust between them. But would that even work? I'm not american, but what I know from american movies is that you get a letter either way, if you are accepted or not. If you don't get anything, wouldn't you call and they'd tell you that they never recieved an application? I guess you would be screwed for that year, but you could apply the next, say you took a gap year.

So I guess that was the house Danny built for his parents burning at the end? I was thinking: "I hope he's insured." But he said that he did all the wiring himself. I already thought at the time "well that's a fire hazard", and if the wiring was the reason for the house to have burned down, no insurance will pay. That is why you hire an electrician. I guess there was also somebody hiding in the bushes at one point. But that is probably just a red hering.

George really is the most vanilla man out there, isn't he? Who masturbates to an almost fully clothed woman? Get yourself some porn, my dude. What does damage to these shows is that Netflix cancels everything after the second season, because then the actors involved become ever so slightly more expensive. But I think/hope this is a limited series, so that shouldn't be a problem. That was a picture of her employe, Mia. The same one she took the picture off to catfish Paul. Guess they both think she's hot.

Chained up man: "Let me tell you about what else is going on here." Boyd: "Let's change the subject." Who writes this shit? Well now we know.

He was only put in jail after he talked to Mrs. Davis and she didn't exists yet when Clara's head exploded. But how long after that she got put online, I don't know. I wouldn't be so sure. Lindelof doesn't have the greatest track record in that regard. If this all makes sense in the end I'll be pleasently surprised, but I won't get my hopes up just yet.

I want to talk about the transporters again. Because that stupid lives rent free in my head and maybe this way I can get it out. Let's put aside that they don't work like that and never worked like that. Let's assume they work like it was described in this season and let's think of the ethical ramifications. There is some part of the genome the transporter just sees as "shared" for a species and doesn't even bother trying to recreate what the original DNA of the beamed person was, but just overrides it with that shared code. Even if there was such a thing as DNA that is exactly the same throughout all humans, which there isn't, unless you go to very small snipets, that would make this pretty much useless, then that still wouldn't account for genetic mutations that might make an individual unique. Now, there are harmfull mutations, neutral mutations and even helpfull mutations. But regardless of what they are, they are unique to that individual and it should be that individuals decision if they want those mutations removed. It isn't on Starfleet to just blanket homogenize their crews. That's something I'd expect from the terran empire not the Federation. If it was something the Borg/Changelings had done to the transporter, fine. They don't have ethical qualms about those kind of things. But it was specifically described as a standard function of the transporter that got corrupted with Picard's Borg-DNA. I'm just still baffled. This might be worse than anything in season 1 and 2 and that is saying a lot. I guess Bones and Barclay were right. Yout should stay away from the transporters. It has nothing to do with Troi. It's about "threesome" only having sexual connotations nowadays and Worf being oblivious to it. Troi wasn't even in the away party the threesome comment was made about. It's just your average stupid Marvel-style quip with no deeper meaning. I guess we can go around in circles, but I still don't think it has any barring that Jack was her husband, when she was considering what Picard would like have liked to name his son. I'll bring Measure of a man and The inner light. (yes, I know, I'm basic) Then where is she from?

I didn't even think it through that far. The cop just seemed blatantly obvious. I mean who else would be a good killer? They didn't introduce that many new characters. The boytoy from across the hall had too little screen time. Also as you say, him not sending his daughter away was also a red flag. I probably should have seen it coming that the daughter was in on it, but tbh I was fast forewarding through parts of the movie and so didn't really have time to think about it. I just figured he either murdered his own daughter, because he's just insane like that, or faked her death somehow. Horror movies in general bore me. I somehow don't get the suspense. For me it's "boring, boring, boring, jumpscare". The first two Scream movies didn't used to be that way. They were interesting in their own right. Even the third one I kinda liked. But that went out the window with 4 and 5. It actually got better with this one, but not so much that it could hold my attention all the way through. But anywho. Good catch with the cop and his daughter. I mean yeah, that's horror, but Scream is supposed to be the one franchise where that doesn't happen. Especially with legacy characters. Gale should have caved that killer's head in with that pan. So I'm still surpremely annoyed. I don't think these new writers/directors get what Scream is.

What has Hayden Panettiere done to the hair and makeup people? It must have been something horrible, for them to enact such gruesome revenge and give her that haircut. How does nobody have a gun? All these characters should be armed to the teeth. Gale at least has one, but keeps it in a safe? Seriously? I can see that day to day, but when you already know that a new ghostface is on the loose? Also "travel in public?". I hope my prediction is right and that the cop is one of the new ghostfaces. But why would anybody take such a stupid suggestion. Travel by car, not in public transport, you dumbasses. 2/3 through the movie and now they think it's Kirby. Of course it's not Kirby. The cop just straight up lied. 3 minutes later: aaaand I was right. These idiots. Know that they are in a slasher movie and can't see the blatently obvious. Nobody ever finishes the killer off. It's so annoying. Gale could have just kept hitting with the frying pan. Cast iron is heavy. At other opportunities they could have just kept stabbing. Scream was supposed to be the franchise where people are wise to these tropes and didn't make those mistakes. Is it really too hard to ask that the writers work within these limitations? Nice that none of the core 4 died and even Gale is still alive. But come on, most of that stuff wasn't survivable. I feel Scream also used to be better about that. One person surviving one stab wound, okay. Multiple people surviving multiple stab wounds, come on.

I think I liked the South Park adaptation of this more and from what people are saying, it was more accurate to the books. "He's 17 and has a car!" I'd watch Olivia Coleman act out a newspaper (please god let her be the next next doctor) and there were some other great actors with great performances in this, but the story or how it was presented, was rather "meh". Maybe it would have been better as 4 episodes rather than 6. The first 5 episodes dragged pretty hard, only for everything to happen in the last one. Who could have seen that Jaggers letting Compeyson go would end up biting them in the ass? He doesn't seem that dumb. He should have shot him right there. Speaking of Jaggers, making him gay and at least kind of a good man is nice and all, but you really need to work a little harder for the representation brownie points there, than a half sentence hinting at something, if you really want them. They really didn't plan for the ship sinking before it took on illegal cargo? What an asinine kind of plan was that? So is it supposed to be a happy ending that Pip married somebody he doesn't love? Seems weird. I mean with everything else, the simple life being enough, fine. But a marriage of convenience? Seems like the one luxury that would be afforded to you in these circumstances would be marrying for love. Are all these coincidences, where everybody is somehow coincidentally entangled with everybody else, also in the book? I hope not, because that turned me off quite a bit.

I thought about that, but it doesn't seem so. I guess Jesus said he had sent like countless others to get a king cake, so maybe it really was 20 years? If so, pope can hold a grudge. It at least seems that he knew, because his first reaction was to get his daughters liver into another person (not how that works btw.). He must have mulled over something like that in his head, for a long time. Probably not with his daughter in mind though. --- Also does Mrs. Davis only want the grail destroyed because Arthur wants that and she wants all humans to be happy? Or is there an ulterior motive?

I haven't read the book, so genuine question: Isn't that in the spirit of the book, that the debauchery of London is a corrupting influence on Pip and that Estella was abused her whole life and thus has massive emotional problems? Also an unrelated question? Are all these weird coincidences in the book? Like Miss Havisham using the same lawyer as the convict Pip saves in the marshes and that convict being Estella's father? Because man all that seems farfetched.

I mean maybe Arthur should have told his daughter that a mouse died after drinking from the grail, before she drank from it? Just a thought. That was a good (if weird) explaination of why the real grail was in a commercial though. I guess having the liver of a grail-drinker explains why Simone has such a special connection to Jesus. I assume Wiley could see him too, if he prayed. Is he also going to end up married to Jesus, since Jesus loves everybody? The timeline seems a bit weird. Clara died like 20 years ago, right? So that would have been when Jesus blew off the pope because he was talking to her. Was the Pope really mad at Jesus for 20 years? That was even before Mrs. Davis was a thing, wasn't it?

Yes, Dean Martin always had a better grip on things than Alanis Morissette. I mean I could see it. This was before the internet. Where would she have seen a photo? She probably knew the name, but Hedy Ford wouldn't ring a bell. Even if she had read the maiden name at some point she would probably just have gone "what a weird coincidence" and not thought that it was actually her college flame. I was way more disturbed that Susi didn't get how being in debt to the mob works. Weren't we supposed to believe that she had street smarts?
