First, why aren’t there any episode reviews here? AVClub used to be my favorite go-to spot for consistent, reliable reviews but it has steadily devolved into a weak, sporadic gossip blog of various show productions, even before the pandemic and the industry strikes. Now on to the show itself...

This is a G.O.A.T. episode. I think its release date was to deliberately be awarded a 2024 Emmy(s), which would be the meta-phucking icing on the Star Trek cake! :-D :-P The entire silly yet thoughtful fun of it, including the clever jab at us Trekkers, made every moment instantly iconic. I was howling with laughter…

Former students: Told ya he was one son of a bitch.

I ran across this series in 2023 via a live-chat influencer pushing YellowJackets; both targeting Millennials/Gen X to live vicariously through these “teens” in twisted Big Brother/Gilligan’s Island/NVXIM dark fantasy survivor dramas, while smugly pushing a Gen Z version of an idiots guide to “don’t talk to strangers”…

The network overseers slapped a Disneyesque patina that just didn’t fit. It lacks the brooding, sinister under vibe set in a surreal multidimensional space. None of actors embodied their characters psyche, even the few that gave entertaining performances. Unfamiliar with the comics, I was still unmoved when I watched…

‘Stop the presses! George R.R. Martin is releasing the Winds of Winter! Yay!!! Uh...oh, say what?! Some new b!tc#@$$ series...prequel? Man, hit me back up next year if I’m still breathing. Anyway.’

The entirety of BCS, even Season 6, was marketed as a prequel to BB, not a epilogue to both. So I thought his stint in Omaha was fallout from the Salamanca spurred cartel war, not the aftermath of WW destroying Fring’s empire before dying and sending Jesse fleeing to the winds. I expected it to be a seamlessly segue…

It made zero sense - I think he choked when she called his bluff by appearing at his sentencing. She’s the master manipulator, using Jimmy’s guilt-ridden love in a bid to extricate any of her present/future legal threats, while gaining moral redemption from everyone, including herself, Jimmy and their victims. But as…

Unless you’re a fan/stan of fantasy or the comic series this was a waste of time. No wonder they released all the episodes together; weekly releases over +2 months would quickly reveal its lack of depth to even the most kindest of critics. The cinematography, etc. is decent but hardly eye opening; the underworld…

I’ve been embarrassingly dense seeing the Omaha Gene timeline as a denouement of Saul’s post BB fate. The series premise was presented as a prequel on what made Saul Goodman, Mike, Gus and interconnected drug cartels tick prior to the rise of Heisenberg. The entire BB timeline Saul made no indication/effort confirming…

Though last week’s shenanigans left a BIG BAD taste in both prior contestants and the DR fandom it was obvious done so both of the true top two queens would walk away with a crown and cash since there isn’t a “Miss Congeniality” runner up consolation prize. Though lip service was paid on Shea being overlooked this…

The Viv won +20k cash, way more than big zero she got on DRUK. She’ll be alright; if she blows it all in Vegas before returning home, her fault. :-P

I felt gaslighted by this episode, my trust violated by your aforementioned eleventh-hour stunt. Like many RPDR fans who have become wearily frustrated with producion’s past season rigamaroles, I enthusiastically embraced this season’s seemingly fair minded approach, believing it an honest indicator of a fundamental…

I agree, Raja or the Viv would have been better choices. I’m guessing they didn’t give to Raja because she was blocked from getting a star and this keeps the tension higher on who makes the final four. The Viv probably lost her chance because her runway, though lovely, was somewhat pedestrian. Though I’m unfamiliar…

Ditto, the main reason I wrote my long-winded response. :-P ;-) :-)

Did I miss something - where is the review? No wonder it was graded a B; did you even watch the latter two thirds? Zero commentary on the actual roast, which was hilarious; even fumbles by Jaida, Monet and Trinity were forgivable because they kept an upbeat pace, demeanor and humor. Plus the editing was surprisingly…

Sending Kim makes perfect sense from both the POV of the episode’s characters and viewers since her ultimate fate as the last major ‘if’ factor of a show ultimately based on how and when.

Lalo’s triumphant twirling mustache villain trope was stretched a bit thin, considering it took just a split second oversight and his rapid appearance to set things in motion. And why Gus didn’t let Mike in on his suspicions was equally frustrating to us viewers as well. But that cathartic moment between Lalo and Gus…

Gus Fring’s backstory is finally revealed as he takes over the competition.

So anyone who seeks the conviction of the murderer of their loved one just seeking revenge, not justice?
