That was gate from the end of season 2 that the hosts walked through to enter the Sublime. Only hosts can see it, so humans watching just saw the hosts walking to a point and sudden collapsing as they were uploaded. Of course in season two the put it at the edge of a cliff so the hosts’ empty bodies would dramatically…

You know why season 1 was so great? Because Liam McPoyle was in it.

- I never noticed it in the previous seasons, but Dolores’ dress gives her quite the dumptruck.

The handling of the Caleb storyline was just awful. I thought it was a questionable choice to kill off the only relatable human character on the show and make him a host, but going that route could have allowed them to address two mysteries that had been presented — why are some humans able to resist Hale’s…

Any time you see Johnathan Nolan’s name show up in the writing credits you know the episode will be 90 percent turgid, pseudo-intellectual babble that not only makes itself terrible but every other episode of the season before it retroactively worse.

Didn’t humans go extinct at the end? That’s not very optimistic. Why do I care what a bunch of software routines do inside a server farm after humans have all died out? I’m not sure I would watch the fifth season if there is one.

So mankind will be extinct in a matter of years per Dolores.. and all the hosts left are in the sublime… which is powered by the Hoover Dam, which will surely break down one day one way or another.. and then the servers shut down and delete everything? Wow. Okay.

All excellent questions. I’d add:  How did Charlotte take over the world and why focus on the mind-control tower in the city when there must be millions of those things in every city? You raise my same objection with William. A few episodes ago he was curious about what humans were like, how they saw themselves and…

This is a much higher rating than I would have given it. And to be clear, I think season 1 was one of the best TV shows of all time, but it’s been diminishing returns since then, and of the finales, this is the worst finale. Lots of scenes not connected at all, lots of random things happening, bad pacing, leaning on…

I just don’t get it. What the heck are they trying to do with this show anymore?

That’s a shit comparison. Joss would still be working today if he hadn’t turned out to be such a manipulative, abusive asshole. Taika is nothing of the sort.

but also Glass looked insanely cheap. I remember at being one of the cheapest made big blockbusters Ive ever seen. It looked like it was all shot in some pink warehouse with Bruce Willis sleeping the whole time.

I wanted it to be so much better than it was.

I claim to have liked “Glass”, whatever that means.

Actually The Village works as a conventional horror-thriller period piece. But like what Peele supposedly did with Nope, Shyamalan reversed engineered the premise into a weak and undeserving twist ending.

“Lets his metaphorical aspirations get ahead of the nuts and bolts of clear, cogent storytelling” - so it’s Us, Part II then.

I mean, it’s the most prolific example of recent note. 

Yeah, and it’s why Us was dumb.

Internet opinion on Shyamalan is so weird - there are far fewer turds in his filmography than people pretend. 

Get Out is more cohesive, but I enjoyed Us more for its stoner logic - it’s like a bad dream. 

same. Them was a clever metaphor for the guilt sometimes felt around striving, and I thought it was executed well thanks to some great performances. Seems like he brings out some amazing performances at the very least.
