A really beautiful and tender episode of television. My hat goes off to Damon Lindelof and co. for turning around this show in the second season and delivering one of the most profound viewing experiences of my lifetime.

It was a very bold choice not to show the land of the Departed and to instead just point the camera at Nora telling her story for 10 minutes, especially when you consider the "cardinal rule" of filmmaking… Show, Don't Tell. But I think it was the right choice to make ultimately… This way, the creators were allowed to…
I thought the same thing: his eyes were shifting all over the place, it looked very self-conscious.
I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but I think Girls actually did an okay job of illustrating the economic realities of life as a twentysomething in New York. The whole controversy around the Lena Dunham et al's privileged background gave people the wrong impression.
You're totally right — Condola Rashad is a bona fide vision. Also, I don't usually make comments about the figures of actresses, and I don't mean to be crude, but there's this scene in Billions where she opens the door to reveal herself in negligee that actually made me involuntarily gasp.
Maybe I missed something, but why would they be signing off on spending the rest of their lives alone? Couldn't they form relationships with any of the 2000 sleeping passengers once they have settled on the new colony? I'm sure not everyone frozen in cryogenic sleep already has a partner.
Off the top of my head…
Is Genius any good?
Sound alone is often more disturbing to me than anything shown on screen, which is why the scene with Nikki getting beaten half to death made me wince more than the asphalt burial. It's also why I'm more scared by listening to true-crime podcasts in the dark at night than watching any horror movies.
There was a big story here in the U.K. a couple of years ago when a stranger randomly ran up to another guy at the Parklife music festival and punched him in the jaw. The guy died before he hit the ground.
I'm probably reiterating what everyone has been saying for the past twenty five years, but it's only now beginning to hit me that Angela Bassett is just phenomenal. Her performance in "Thanksgiving" was on another level.
Well, there are 2000 other humans still in cryonic sleep chambers. Couldn't they be potential partners? My point is, it just doesn't make sense for the stewards, the crew members, to all be in relationships as it should be their ultimate priority to ensure the safety of the sleeping passengers. As this movie shows on…
I saw this last night here in London and thought it was a solid B-movie, a ridiculous plot stitched together by fun set pieces and decent performances. But the one thing that really bugged me (aside from the many dumb character decisions) was the whole idea that the crew is entirely made up of couples. Who would ever…
Just because he sleeps with women does not mean he can't be queer.
Oh really? My bad. A friend gave me some very misleading info then, because she said it was nearly impossible to get hers.
As someone with a passing knowledge of that restaurant, I thought its inclusion went one step over the line of credulity. How the hell would they get a reservation? Is Eric Wareheim some tech billionaire? Seriously, the waiting list goes on for years.
Those would probably be my favourite three as well, with maybe the top 2 switched around.
It's kind of a shame that Jonathan Levine got swept up in the lazy-raunchy-comedy wave. The Wackness may not have been that great, but it definitely had a unique sense of style. I remember one sequence in particular in which a hundred snapshots of the main character holding the middle finger up to the city of New York…
Ah sorry, my bad!
Yes! The cousin was so distracting! Great season though.
