I mean...that was very interesting
There is no shortage of bladework in this one, with the last effort being particularly satisfying...and overdue.
OH SHT!!! That just happened!!! I didn’t see that coming!! AT ALL! I thought Julianna was gonna switch realities because there was no way out in this one and I thought she was looking for something to hit him! BUT THAT WAS JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING, NOT WHAT SHE WAS THINKING!
I do get why she did it, cause we realized Joe is too far gone, I genuinely thought he was just doing Himmler’s dirty work because he had to, that he was holding out long enough until he could find an out, but the way he treated her and started talking about making those diabolic babies I knew he was too far gone, but I trust Julianna’s judgement, when she let him get away back in season 1 was because she knew there was good on him (or maybe it wasn’t exactly good but she saw that there was a person there, and now Joe was just a nazi shell) and also you could tell he meant business about killing Tagomi, and like I said if it ever comes down to him or Tagomi, I’m saving Tagomi.
I wonder if we’ll ever see Joe 2.0 from another universe, but so far the only ones we’ve seen are able to travel between worlds are the ones that in that other world are dead, like Trudy in this world, Tagomi in Earth 2... but then there’s an opening for a Joe here, so a Joe could visit, the question is, would that be american Joe or nazi Joe.
And John’s day was also crazy, going from thinking he was gonna be executed for treason, to having a secret plan but then realizing Himmler knew about it and was just testing his reaction, to becoming like the american fuhrer to having rockwell go to the beyond. That’s a bussy day!
Anyone who wants to treat the final events like a victory misses the entire point. Joe is America and his betrayal/death is code for the nation as a whole losing its identity through subjugation. I read the book and immediately when the name change happened I had a good feeling it would happen but it is no less brutal to see it happen. Phenomenal episode.
What just happened?
Remember last season, when Juliana made an enemy out of The Resistance when she refused to give Joe up to be executed? And now she straight up slit his throat, no hesitation. I get that Joe was the enemy, basically, right in that moment. But he'd gotten thoroughly brainwashed, wasn't really himself, and OMG she straight up murdered him. Just, wow. How did we even get here?
Hmmm I hadn't been feeling this season so far & now they killed my favourite character ☹
HOLY F#$king SHIT! (plus two more words)
