I know this was a rough episode because I found myself thinking “why does Betty even care about her mother at this point? Just let her go off and die, you’ll be fine.” 

If I could live in a world that had constant moments of Nick Miller, I think I’d be a little happier overall.

I used to do that too! Right down to calling it soup! 

This is a little off topic but on one of the other articles about this show a few folks brought up Misfits and talked it up a lot. I had heard of it, but was never interested. Well, I just watched the first 4 episodes over the weekend and I’m obsessed. I tried to find the thread to thank them personally, but couldn’t…

Hard same. The irony of complaining about how Emily’s reviews don’t say what they want them to say while criticizing her for not liking the season because she’s not seeing what she wants to out of it is lost on so many of the commentors.

I too love the drama on what I assume is Clash of Clans and its many offshoot games. 

THANK YOU! I’m not saying that Sam and Cait didn’t start strong. The first season, in particular, their chemistry was off the charts. But that something they had has fizzled away. Time to focus on our favorite French kid and his family!

So, I think this is about when I stopped reading the books, and I think it might be when I stop watching the show. I’ll just come out and say it - I don’t think Claire and Jamie are that exciting of a couple to follow. Once again a friend or family member of theirs has to make a big sacrifice in order for their lives…

This is a great review, and it so eloquently lays out exactly what I was thinking all episode. The portrayal of the Natives this season has been ridiculous. I still don’t understand how we’re supposed to like Roger after how he’s behaved throughout. Brianna has her moments but is otherwise unbelievable in her…

Right. And maybe even give that cash to the gang of homeless kids running protection for you...

And I was actually looking forward to a whole quarantine plot line. I feel like they could have really done some interesting stuff with it. 

Yeah how did we get through a whole review without mentioning the fact that he’s either dead dead or fake-out dead? 

It’s unfortunate that Vikings can’t seem to get out of its own way because there’s still so much potential. The battle in this episode was impressive, if not entirely original, as you mentioned. And I thought we got more insight into Harald than we have in a long time. Peter Franzen was impressive throughout the…

This is a beautiful encapsulation of John Grey and his story in Outlander, and I thank you for sharing it. 

You are completely correct. Benjamin seems like he'll turn out to be a great guy and hopefully they can have a meaningful relationship...but why not a quick and dirty with the tortured artist? It'd be great for her act. 

I was hesitant about NuGreg but he bowled me over immediately. His entrance into the show was seamless and I’m so excited to see where this goes now.

Same, actually. Well kinda. I have a BA in French from a very long time ago and I don’t get to use it very often. Lol. 

I’ve been dying to talk about this episode! Great review Arielle!

The scene in the Paris cabaret with the American translating her act for Midge was a great one, and also very jarring. I found I had an even harder time following ASP’s quick, witty dialogue when I was hearing it in two languages. But oddly, it felt kind of fitting. I don’t think I see it as a negative, just different…

Yeah, I think you win here (which of course you can’t really call it winning). Sorry you have to deal with that bullshit.
