I don't understand why Luther's ape body came back with his powers.  He had the latter prior to requiring the former.

TUA is back! Yay! ☂️

I didn’t mind the table-setting, but that said, I spent not a few minutes thinking, “They’ve only got six episodes — can we move a little faster, please?”

[Anela]

Only six episodes? 😔 oh.  

Luther on the pole, made me laugh.  It took me a minute to realize that he was a regular height. 
I recognized Megan Mulally’s voice, right away.

Am I crazy here?  Luther's home is Hargreave's mansion, right?   So why don't any of the them recognize it?  Is this a timeline thing, or are they just in an entirely different house?

Luther used to be my least favorite, but I like him (so far) this season.  Him beating up on the pinata was hilarious.

I couldn't finish the episode. I may try to go back to it, but the focus on Lila just annoyed me. She was like nails on a chalkboard.

We begin heading towards the shows end with...boring regular life. Sometimes I really like that the show does a reset every season, but mostly I find it frustrating that the show comes up with tons of cool ideas but then always gets tangled up in hijinks and then does something totally different the next season, especially when its the last season and we have so few episodes to wrap things up. 

I guess Luther's body is back to normal because the reason he survived getting a monkey body is because of his powers? No one is doing terrible but no one is doing awesome, although Diego is probably winning when it comes to losing. Ugg pissing in bottles my guy?

Nick and Megan are always welcome.

So Klaus as replaced substance addiction with safety addiction. He may THINK he’s in a good place but he is not. He clearly very much is still an addict.

That actually makes sense since he can now die.  If you were immortal, and did anything you wanted knowing you couldn't die, then became mortal, you'd probably be overly cautious, too.

I don't recall this happening in this episode.

Hang in there. Episode 2 rocks!

Super glad that we got a recap of the previous season, cause I could not remember a thing.

It was interesting to see what each of them were doing now that they don't have any powers, and that they are enduring a normal life, and not actually enjoying it - except maybe Viktor and Five.

Five as a CIA agent makes so much sense, and I'm surprised that Laila wouldn't tell Diego what she's up to and them being a team, having fun going to meetings of the Keepers.

Also I didn't even realize the new season had dropped, thanks for nothing Netflix.

i guess that each of them "exist" in this alternate timeline and could find their  ID documents, but i call shenanigans on Five being an CIA agent give his whole age thing, unless the CIA did a real piss poor background check.
