Does no one remember that zombies in the first season were able to pick up and use rocks to smash doors? They did it when Rick and Glen (and others I can’t remember) were hold up in the shopping mall, when they slathered zombie guts over themselves to walk among the zombies.
I don’t even watch anymore for the same reasons. I just come and read these recaps, which just reinforce why I don’t watch anymore. I’m not even vaguely curious as to why Daryl goes to Europe.
Just wanted to circle back here and say that I think the finale episode was fantastic. While I agree with you that Jimmy was of course changing gradually into Saul over the course of the show, I think the final episode actually addresses my main issue in a very satisfying way. It is precisely the point that BB Saul…
No, I’m feeling the same way. I understand that Kim is running from what she did, but she is not even the same character in those Florida scenes. I don’t think much is accomplished with the B&W scenes. We don’t learn anything new about the characters, and if anything we lose what would have been more information if…
I agree with you. The time jump to get to the Saul we know from BB was a let down for me. To invest in 6 seasons of a show about how Jimmy became Saul and for it to essentially happen off screen was disappointing. I really enjoyed the show on its own merits, but it is ultimately a failure as a prequel to BB because I…
Another slip up in the timeline comes in this episode when Marion says she searches Ask Jeeves. Ask Jeeves dropped the "Jeeves" in 2006, while black and white scenes are after BB, which was supposed to take us to 2008 or 2009, right?
Fantastic insight. I have not read anyone else who has put their finger on this the way you have.
That’s “Fonzi on water skis jumping over sharks in the ocean” and I think in 2021 you can just say “jumped the shark” and everyone will get what you mean.
I just re-watched finale the other day and was thinking about how it was a shame they got cancelled before they got to explore what the version of Sam leaping as himself would have meant. Seemed like some interesting possibilities there. I’d totally watch a re-boot that pretends the final screen text never happened.
I watched this for really the first time last night and think this piece is persuasive about what made it a good viewing experience. Yet I felt at times like the film was skipping important plot points that left me unmoored. Like many more people than Neary see the spaceships—it seemed like half the town—but the…
“Does this look...acceptable?” [knife to the throat] [Fring silently walks away]
Thank god they found the source of that song. I could not handle more disappointment after the mystery stuff that is a cure for baldness was never named in that call-in episode a few weeks back.
I continue to be completely at a loss to understand the fascination with folding devices. It is the height (depths?) of the late stage capitalism death of innovation.
You are stronger than I, because I bawled through that entire Chidi-Eleanor wave analogy. It was beautiful, poignant, sad, and hopeful and I get choked up just thinking about it.
You really should not feel so guilty for judging this a disappointing episode. The show has built up slowly to this idea that the afterlife needed to be redesigned, and then just waved it’s hand said, “all done with that!” in 20 minutes. The Eleanor-Chidi stuff was just pointless and a step backwards from the great…
That finale was an emotional hit, beautifully crafted and executed. But as the initial impact fades, I now puzzle over the logic of how the multiple personalities worked and how they interacted with each other. Which should really be besides the point.
Damn, I thought I was onto something. Not the first time I’ve (mis)read too much into something on this show.
“Just the thought of getting his childhood friend returned to him is enough to pull Elliot back to the surface of his body, displacing Robot...”
If by “fascinating” you mean delusional cult-members, then yes.
