[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
My money is also on Charming/GrandpapaCharming
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The final adjusted ratings are in for ‘Dark Waters’. We remained on a 0.9 – which really does make this our first fractional episode.
I suspect next week we’ll go back up to a 1.0
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Is Belle going to find out? Is that the next step in this nonsense? Poor girl.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"You know for an AU about the Dark Curse not being cast, Baby!Emma sure is dressed like someone from our world…?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Snow, David and Regina search for a magical sapling created by the first spark of true love.
Oh, RG is going to have a field day with THIS Magical MacGuffin…
*head desk* what on earth??
Gold’s and the Evil Queen’s burgeoning romance
STOP THIS
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m glad numbers are going down. Let’s wrap up the EQ storyline and the person under the hood storyline by episode 10, then race to the finish after that.
Even so ABC has much bigger problems–look at Quantico and Secrets and Lies. They are both probably doomed, along with Notorious and Conviction. That’s four dramas. OUAT will get a final season next year while ABC scrambles to find a way to prevent total sinkage.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"1×05 Thoughts
I have a lot of questions and not enough answers. Westworld does a fabulous job at creating mystery but so far it’s lacking in the “solving the mystery” department. Now, that can be a good thing because the mystery is multifacted, layered, and less about an actual mystery and more about a philosophical pondering on existence and consciousness but at the same time, there’s only so many times you can add questions on top of questions and keep expecting me to follow you down this rabbit hole.
I think there might be…too many stories right now. The main ones are Dolores and her awakening/unraveling; Dr Ford and his increasingly menacing God complex; the Man in Black fulfilling a hole in the narrative as a suitable antagonist while trying to discover the answer to his own journey into selfhood; and the story of Arnold and the parks past which will, I suppose, tie all the other stories together. But along the way we get Teddy, William, Logan, Mauve, the politics of the park staff, and several park-run stories like Wyatt, the Confederados, the new Black hat who set up William and Logan, ect. It’s a bit much because the story needs to be a bit tighter and not go down tracks that only confuse me more.
I’m not trying to be harsh because the stuff that’s good–the stuff that stays within the bigger stories–is GOSH DARN GOOD GUYS. The Dr. Ford and Man in Black meeting was excellent and I like that their relationship isn’t actually amicable. There’s a real tension there, especially since the MiB knows all about Arnold and his attempt to destroy the Park! Didn’t see that one coming at all. Likewise, Dolores’s story about unraveling into the more cold Host (who has all the memories and updates) vs Dolores the more human side is equally fascinating. I love how I can’t quit tell which “version” of her is actually at work. Scared, crying Dolores who kisses William is more the evolving semi human girl, but seconds before she was a gun toting heroine who “imagined a story where I wasn’t the damsel” (favorite line of the night!)
Other thoughts for now
–This show is stunning to just look at. The brothel scene with William, Logan and Dolores was like something out of a Renaissance painting depicting the lowest bowls of Hell.
–The same little boy Dr Ford ran into appears to the MiB. Coincidence? Probably not.
–Arnold sought consciousness but then wanted to destroy his park? Was it because he felt like he had enslaved a people OR did Dr. Ford lie to us about what Arnold wanted and it was really him who sought these higher ideals.
–Laser focused satellite. No idea what that even means.
–Home stretch! 5 episodes to go.
