Here’s why this show gives me fits. Based on what Host!Mini!Ford said, it sounds like Arnold was advocating for mass robot genocide in order to free the Hosts. BUT does that make any sense given that Hosts are really robots that can be rebuilt and reprogrammed?
See, I read the the exact opposite way — I thought that maybe Arnold is advocating for mass guest genocide, precisely because the killers are, mostly, the guests, and it’s almost like he’s saying being killers is in their nature (i.e. they cannot be reprogrammed). Like it is in the nature of a predator (dog) to kill. The hosts, we know, can be anything, they are not overdetermined in the same way.
Okay, that makes more sense and fits with the first time we heard Arnold’s voice–when Dolores heard him telling her to kill the guest who was about to assault her.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"We don’t do a whole lot with ratings for Gotham, but since we’re all enjoying S3 so much, I thought I’d check in.
It’s good news; Gotham is staying mostly steady, ranging between a 1.2-.9. The (.9) was last week (a lot like OUAT, actually) and then rebounded to a 1.2 this week. Gotham’s average this season is 1.1 which is just fine for FOX. Given the Syndication Gods + Fox’s sad state of affairs with other drama, Gotham is a lock for S4!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Also for all those playing along, here are ABC’s dramas this week: -Grey’s Anatomy: 2.1 -HTGAWM: 1.2 -Once Upon a Time: 1.1 -Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 0.8 -Notorious: 0.8 -Secrets & Lies: 0.6 -Quantico: 0.6
Going along with this: Conviction got a .7 last night. (ouch. So much ouch for ABC this year).
ABC's CONVICTION notched a 0.3 among millennials 18-34 Monday, putting it below every show on b'cast last night, including both CW dramas.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"What do you think is happening to Teddy? Is he rewriting himself after Ford gave him his “carry on directive”? He’s becoming a lot more ruthless, and I wonder if that’s the result of not having actually been properly “rebooted,” as far as we know, from his pretty horrific experiences.
I honestly don’t know what to make of Teddy. Is it that he wasn’t rebooted properly or is that giving him a real backstory and not just a vague one cemented his baseline and this is who he was intended to be all along.
Also, what did you make of Host!Mini Ford killing the dog? This is clearly foreshadowing something about Arnold’s master plan, but I wonder what…

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Are they not just on the beach in Storybrook, while Hook is also there?
Yes I’m pretty sure it’s the beach
4- I think Wonderland is a differnt place and this is more like an inbetween worlds kind of place.
Pretty much
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Final adjusted ratings are in for 6×07—we maintained the 1.1 in the demo.

GENERAL: #SorryNotSorry that 99.9% of my likes are Nygmobblepot. But, on a serious note, this episode continues the strong trend of S3. While not as good as the Mad Hatter arc, I found that Barnes transforming was more riveting than I thought it would be. It makes total sense that Barnes’s deep (almost crazy) obsession with Justice and Truth manifests in a need to rage against criminals and punish them, even if it’s outside the law.
LIKED
–“You’re just the guy who chops up the bodies and dumps them into a vat of acid?”
–“If we had a big to-do every time you came back to the GCPD, we’d never catch any bad guys.”
–I was already sort of convinced that Isabella was a plant from someone to hurt either Ed or Oswald but the fact that Isabella is slowly turning into Miss Kringle confirms it. #Nygmobblepot forever (I’m falling hard here, guys)
–Also, it’s pretty clear that Ed doesn’t actually love Isabella but loves the memory of Kristen, the last time in his life when he was…”normal” or at least before he became Young!Riddler (#Nygmobblepot!)
–“She’s in there isn’t she? She’s inside of you!” *waves frantically* Let’s keep the Mad Hatter forever, kay?
–“Oswald?” “Yes?” “You’re smiling!” (#Nygmobblepot, guys. #Nygmobblepot). Oswald was *everything* in this scene.
–“You love him too.” (See, even Fake!Kristen sees that #Nygmobblepot is real)
–#Nygmobblepot hug!
–Guys, I don’t even care that Oswald killed Isabella. Actually I sort of cheered (cause I’m a horrible person/shipper). Ed can absolutely cry on Oswald’s shoulder. (#Nygmobblepot!)
MIXED
–Lee’s hair was trying to REACH HEAVEN at her party; however, Morena looks incredible in red.
–Judge…BamBam? Did I hear that right? Is he married to Pebbles?!
–“Justice served!” Oof. That’s a corny one.
DISLIKED
–I’ve mentioned this before but often times Gotham has a nasty habit of not letting things stay subtextual and letting the audience infer what’s going on. They constantly have to take what is clearly being shown and give the character some cringe-y dialogue to explain what I’m seeing. Such is the case of the final moments of the cold open when Barnes begins to talk about “it getting stronger” and how he “can’t fight it.” Yes, I can see that clearly from the manic way you’re twitching and acting. Don’t make it text!
–I hate love triangles and this Jim/Lee/Mario one is super boring because it’s painfully obvious how it will end. At least the Lee/Jim/Mulan triangle had spunky and fun Mulan.
Concern: next week looks full of Baby!Batman, Baby!Catwoman and Teenage!Ivy. This does not excite me.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I would be in two minds about it. I stated previously that I would like to see it, but I would be irked that the EQ part of Regina had to be physically removed for TLK to happen.
Yup this.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"but I would like to see Snow back under, and Regina waking her up with a TLK on the forehead.
Well, now that’s an idea I hadn’t considered at all….
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"-Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 0.8 -Notorious: 0.8 -Secrets & Lies: 0.6 -Quantico: 0.6
Man that’s ugly. Notorious’s order already got cut so cancellation is usually not too far behind. I think S and L and Quantico won’t be far behind. I think AoS will get another season just by virtue of ABC not being able to cancel everything.
