Ah, yes, whenever I go wake a partner up, I always aim for the neck.
A wonderful goodbye to a decaying show. After quite a few underwhelming seasons, against all odds, they gave us a genuinely funny and very heartwarming episode. Ain't gonna lie, I shed a tear or two (and not only during Sheldon's Nobel speech). They've truly put some heart into this series finale, there isn't a single thing I can complain about it. The show ended on the highest possible note.
I was prepared to be disappointed by the lack of guest stars in the final episode, but then Buffy the Vampire Slayer :heart:
Twelve seasons is a big chunk of life, and I'm glad to have The Big Bang Theory being a part of mine for this long. I will miss these guys.
I don't do drugs, but after watching this episode, I'm not so sure anymore.
I truly dislike jump scares, not because they scare the shit out of me (they do!), but because they're a cop-out, a lazy option overused in today's horror. But - holy shit! - that scene with the sisters arguing with each other in the car... THAT'S how you do a jump scare! Also, nice way to stop a fight. Then, Theo's monologue right after was emotionally intense, I could feel her despair creeping inside me. This show can be slow and boring, at times, but the acting is consistently well above average.
As someone (apparently) without any sense of good taste, I found this episode to be highly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. Haters gonna hate.
Welcome back, proper Star Trek!
I felt so bad for Eric... Being alone, like that, on his birthday, and then getting punched in the face and spit on for being gay. Homophobia is a disgusting disease. And then that caused a fallout between him and Otis, and those guys were thick as thieves! I really hope they can talk about it and make amends, soon.
We had Violent Femmes and INXS in this episode, this show's soundtrack is truly a delight!
Nice Dead Poets Society moment at the end, after a harsh episode, I feel that scene truly lifted everyone's spirit (the characters' and ours).

Max not letting the others know about sharing similar symptoms of the previous two victims was dumb as fudge. Lucas acting like a douchebag just for the sake of fitting in in what he thinks is a cool group of guys feels like bending the core of his character too much. But, yeah, it's all for the plot's sake, so anything goes. This season sure is heavy on the clichés.
I absolutely love the horror and gore vibe of this season, but, apart from that, it's really not convincing me, story and character-wise.
Clearly a more serious episode, the ones dealing with abortion will always be somewhat tougher for show runners and viewers to handle, due to the stigma surrounding the subject. Though I'm physiologically limited to truly comprehend the whole situation, I feel that this episode handled things well. Sarah was the most heartbreaking character on this show, so far, but her connection with Maeve felt like a sparkle of light in the darkness of that event. In such a time as difficult for them as that was, everything felt alright, for a moment.
Otis being there for Maeve was, as expected, utterly adorable, and I'm sure 90% of us are already rooting for those two to end up together. But, right now, they just make a really weird and misadjusted couple. I really want to see their relationship grow (even if it won't end up being a romantic one).
This episode ended up being a beautiful sad cake, sprinkled with hope on top.
I am part of the misunderstood minority who was quite pleased with how the show ended, back in season 8. But getting some more Dexter Morgan is genuinely something I cannot say "no" to! I really missed him and his Dark Passenger.
I was expecting Debra to replace Harry and I wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to see how much of a moral compass and influence she'll be to Jim — sorry —, to Dexter.
Having our favourite inconspicuous serial killer living a peaceful, normal life in a small town is absolutely lovely, and it makes for a really good setting for when things will start to go sour (because we all know they will, we've watched Dexter before). Seeing Dexter wrapping a room in plastic, just like in the old days, gave me a comfy and warm nostalgic rush, as if everything is now in its right place. However, the setup to the killing and the killing itself felt all bit clumsy, and I don't mean it in the sense that Dexter is out of practice. Something about the scenes and the dialogue didn't feel quite right... Still, I guess it fits the tone of the show, given its current context.
Also, a quick shout-out to this episode's soundtrack, which was really enjoyable, taking into account both the tunes I recognised and the ones I didn't.
This was a solid season opener, Dexter's still got it, and I am bloody excited to devour this new season of the man giving in, once again, to its primal urges.
Dayum! Cool Charles is savage! Or, as officer Holt would say: "hm-hmm".
I could watch an entire episode (maybe even a full season) of Gina and Captain Holt having a conversation over a couple hundred chess games. Holt's trash talk was a sweet bonus that was, again, shamefully underused.
Two episodes in a row: Gina at the top of her game! They really want us to miss her...
I was absolutely loving the episode, until Ty — a child — casually walked out of the Orville, no authorization required, he literally just opened the door and left. That broke the episode, for me, even more so when you consider that was a crucial plot element for the big, shocking twist to be revealed. I can't believe Brannon Braga, a Star Trek: TNG veteran, wrote something as atrocious as that.
Everything else about this episode was utterly excellent and this would have been a sci-fi masterpiece, if it all didn't depend on that one badly written scene.
And that's it! One of most intelligent, well written and delightfully acted series of the last few years has met its (probable) demise. For me, this was a fitting end that did not leave any stone left unturned, an end that brought peace to some characters and left a bitter taste in the mouth of others.
Oh man, how I've missed having both Howards in the same scene, bickering at one another... That's always been one of the most fun moments of the show!
That dialogue between Emily and Ethel was crushing me, not only because of the delicate and time sensitive issue that was at stake at the time, but also because I knew something bad was about to happen, I just did not know when. And then the first big loss of the show hit us... Poor Howard.
Howard Prime going all Hitman (so, doing what he does best) on those guys from the other side carrying the virus at the train station, surgically killing one by one and letting no single one of them escape was a very, very satisfying scene.
The ending for Quayle and Clare had a certain relief to it, their last scene was very sweet and I hope they'll manage to deal with their issues and raise Sara(h) as a genuinely happy and loving family.
In the end, Karma bit Mira in the ass, and that was also a very satisfying scene, watching Emily Prime savouring her final moment of victory in the guise of revenge (or is it the other way around?).
Fuck you, Starz, for pulling the plug on the most precious thing you had in your catalogue! Fingers crossed for another network to pick this one up, since the show's producers are currently shopping Counterpart around. There has got to be a network with good taste, out there!
Let's reopen the Crossing one more time, see you all in season 3 (make it happen, damn it!)!
"Hey, Mack Hammer... Can't touch this." xD
Not much happened, but it has the right amount of creepiness and it doesn't rely on jump scares alone. It actually manages to build up an eerie and tense ambience that makes you feel uncomfortable while watching the episode. It reminded me of Insidious because of that, something I consider to be a good thing.
I wasn't thrilled by this first episode, but I'm intrigued enough to keep watching the rest of the season.
I just wish I hadn't watched this right before going to bed... Sigh!
Best intro of the whole show! And Gina's Holt soundboard was dope, I want one of those! Get. Some. Get. Some.
Halloween episodes have always been extra fun in this show, but this one took the cake. Faster paced than the previous Halloween episodes, such a roller-coaster of an episode! And Jake focusing on Amy like that, instead of the yearly competition, was utterly adorable!
[edited because of grammar and semantics and stuff]
Superb episode! We finally got to know how all this mess began, narrated by the person who witnessed all of it, from the very beginning. It was exhilarating to watch the events unfolding with the inevitable decay of the relationship between what are now the members of upper Management. I was absolutely thrilled when it was shown exactly when the two worlds drifted apart (such a mundane thing, who would have known?). The scene with all those rats feeding on each other was a chilling and appropriate metaphor for the current state of the relationship between both worlds.
This episode was excellently executed, giving us in great detail how things turned to shit.
It's just a pity that one of the things I was looking forward to knowing the most wasn't revealed: how the flu that devastated the other world was released. Sadly, they didn't elaborate on that, and I found the short reference they made about it to be quite underwhelming.
This was one of the best "origins" episodes I've ever watched in any show and an essential narration of the background story that gave birth to this show that we know and love (well, at least I do).
An emotional break from the usual action and mystery that characterises this show.
Yes, it was somewhat of a filler episode, but a very well done one. It was adorable (among a whole trip of other feelings) to see Hank and Dawn becoming a couple.
By the end of the episode I had even forgotten about last week's intense cliffhanger. That's how you know how good this episode was.
Everything was beautifully done, it's criminal not to have enjoyed this out of the ordinary episode.
At around 49 minutes and 45 seconds I see a woman with long blonde hair in the background, next to the wall, at the right side of the spotlight, looking at dad (I forgot his name). It's right before he finds the body inside the wall. Is that a ghost or whatever or is this show making me see things?? Did anyone else notice that woman, too?
The scene where Wednesday abruptly shifts the tone of the music by carrying on playing the cello on her own while chaos erupts around her is incredibly satisfying.
Gwendoline Christie has never looked this pretty on screen, and I love how tall she is, compared to everyone else.
Jenna Ortega deserves all the awards, but I'm so glad that this show has Tim Burton's aesthetics all over it, and he's captaining this goth ship as strong as ever (so Jenna can share a few awards with him, too).
Action, deceit, love, betrayal... This was an excellent soap-opera episode!
This episode had some extra pizzazz and slightly faster pacing, and Sting and Tina Fey definitely cranked things up a notch, for me. That ending will surely make a stirr in the dynamics of the main trio.
My favourite episode, so far! This show keeps getting better by the episode, I hope they'll keep it up!
This is a show that proves there's still life in zombies (pardon the pun). Kingdom proudly wears the horror badge, and it's undoubtedly deserved. In a time where the genre got stale and is plagued with jump scares, this little Korean gem manages to get under your skin and make you afraid to turn off the lights. I lost all my fingernails watching this...
It you're into horror, this is a must watch!
Holy hell, what a nightmare of an episode! Ever imagined if Batman had snapped? Well, this episode depicts it pretty clearly, and a fucked up Batman is not someone you'd want to be messing with.
Clearly, this was some sort of a filler episode, but I see it as an alternate telling of events, like they do in the comics. It was Titans darkest episode to date, it was exciting and brutal, and a fine sample of what kind of show Titans aims to be.
Violent. Bloody. Dark. Gritty. Bloodier. Finally, a DC show done right!
If this premiere is anything to go by, I'm so glad to have this show among us! DC's TV series gave been mostly uninteresting, to use an euphemism. With the exception of the more mature and better accomplished Fox's Gotham, the CW offering has been nothing but a subpar series of shows clearly aimed at teens. But Gotham will have its finale next year, leaving an uncomfortable void in the universe of DC's TV series. Though it's rather premature to affirm this, I am betting that Titans is stepping in to fill that gap just nicely. This pilot episode gave me almost everything I'd want in a DC show.
Being used to watch Teen Titans on the Cartoon Network with my little niece, I was disappointingly expecting this show to be in the same league of all those CW series. But, after only a few minutes, I was so happy to be wrong! They made sure to let us know that this ain't a show for kids. The premise, though barely scratched in this episode, looks promising and the few characters that appeared look intriguing and appealing. This was a pilot episode well done in the sense that I'm already craving for more. And that's all a pilot episode should do.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the way they've kicked off what is shaping up to be DC's most somber show yet.
Fuck Batman!
"Directed by Jonathan Frakes". Guest stars aren't always in front of the camera :)
Also, Charlize Theron <3
Up next, Natalie Portman? Besides the episode itself, guest stars are becoming something to look forward in "The Orville".
This show has turned up to be quite a pleasant surprise, it's undeniably very "Star Trek" at heart. It feels odd to admit that, as a Star Trek fan, I'm actually enjoying this more than "Star Trek: Discovery".
Oof! The suspension of disbelief was strong with this one.
Wasn't Captain Holt going all berserk and enraged and bloodthirsty because they took his fluffy boy (and also Cheddar) one of the most glorious things you've ever seen on this show? Indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed.
