Weird/awesome that the article would open with that line - I literally just tried to sell someone on this show with a slightly different phrasing. My take was more: 'Watch it from the beginning until the fourth episode. If you like the final scene, keep watching. If you don't like it, the show's probably not for you.'…

Have seen the scene in question now and my response is…

Yeah, I watch this show cause it's joyful and moving rather than the anticipation of GoT-style shock/thrill moments.

I've gotta say, I was super convinced Wolfgang was gonna get killed at that point. The show hasn't proven a willingness to kill off its characters, but this and the earlier 'hanging' scene with Sun shows it can still create a whole lot of tension.

The 'clusters rising up' bit straddled the line between cheesy and badass perfectly, in my opinion. It made me laugh out loud, but in more of an 'Oh, shit!' kind of way.

I can only think of that one time… Someone mentioned above him doing it with regards to company business. But I think that's a different thing than doing it with regards to being a husband.

Yeah, pretty much my read on it too.

Apologies if this comment shows up twice, Disqus detected it as spam for some reason.

That is pretty much more to do with her employee status rather than as his wife, though. He's clearly got some messed-up thinking when it comes to his business practice, for sure.

I mean, he's a rich guy who does rich guy things like that, true. But you're forgetting the same scene he completely admits fault and promises to turn the company policy around? Whether he will or not is another question, admittedly.

Is this the Christmas special? I mean, she does go off on kind of an incoherent rant for a long time that makes sense only to us, as an audience, but which in real life would probably confuse the hell out of me. Like… is it patronising to cut someone off when you literally don't understand what they're saying?

But it was that way because Kring arranged it so that each writer wrote for one character arc.

I gotta say, I'm not getting the whole 'Rajan is patronising/a douche to his wife' thing (aside from the whole 'you're cute when you're mad' line, and the Christmas Special sex problems). I mean, he does the grand gestures, but he also seems to get the small gestures down pretty well too, right? He's always seemed…

The only problem I really see have with all this is Will, who - being a cop and all - has remained curiously supportive of Wolfgang's murderous criminal side.

I'm kind of disappointed they've gone down this route… Still haven't finished the season so not sure where it'll lead yet, but one of the things that made Kala's internal conflict between choosing Rajan or Wolfgang such a dilemma was that Rajan really did seem pretty much like the perfect boyfriend… I suppose it's…

I posted this above but I think it's way more suited to this thread, so apologies for the double post:

For my part, I really love the function of the Architect scene, in that it's at once this scene of ultimate revelation but also completely undercuts the message of the first movie and calls into question the philosophy we've been made to sympathise with this whole time. And there are times when the actor's performance…

I've mainly heard about this movie through Serj Tankian of System of a Down raving about it a few times on his page. And while I'm honestly not surprised it's turned out to not be great, maybe it is kind of important to at least have a movie that deals with this subject? A lot of countries still don't recognise it as…

As one Bill leaves television (hopefully forever) another returns…

Are Nickelback really considered toxically masculine? I mean, I never thought of them as overly aggressive or frat-bro like or anything. To me they were always just sort of… there.
