But this is not one of those times
Yeah this adds nothing. And frankly I find the cues “Despite everything there’s sparks…” a little weird for two 13 yr olds.
I want to see the scene where Robin reunites with Roland and also the one Amy Manson got angry about.
With regards to Amy: which arc? I’m not sure I remember her getting mad in 5B but there was the whole Twitter debacle in 5A with her cut scene in 511.
Will S5 deleted scenes be released before the DVD comes out?
Yeah, they sometimes leak online and you can catch them before ABC takes them down
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"– Gordon leaving to find Leigh. Ok, as RG pointed out, this needed to be done 5 episodes ago. Now the city is running with monsters and now you decide to leave? Good lord.
The more I think about it, the more this bothers me. I get having to work Leigh back into the story for S3, but surely there’s a better way to do it besides sending your main hero out of town literally moments after a bus full of super enhanced villains escape a loony bin?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oh, I’m pretty sure they used the same soundbite from “The Blind Fortune-Teller.” Cameron probably wasn’t available, so they had to keep him blurred.
So long as the show has worked something out with Cameron so that this tease comes to something meaningful in S3, that’s fine with me.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I already saw one article speculate that he could be Lincoln March, which ties into the Court of Owls:
I just remembered that too and edited my own post to include Thomas Wayne Jr (or Owlman) bu yeah I think that’s incredibly possible.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Finale!
General: A pretty decent finale, though the first 30 mins felt like a lot of the characters were sitting around and simply waiting for the rest of the episode (and reminding the audience of everything that had happened up to this point without furthering much of the finale plot itself). In other words, if you come in with 15 mins until the end and all you hear of the first 45 mins is Strange say, “I set a bomb down there!” and that’s really all you need to know, then your finale isn’t moving at any sort of good pace. With *that* said….it’s pretty clear that S3 is the aftermath of Strange’s experiments which makes for a nice continuation of this past season. Keeps the momentum up from this finale.
LIKED
–Kinda love this opening sequence music, with the heavy guitars. Very fitting for a finale.
–Ben McKenzie is having a field day playing Clayface playing Jim Gordon and it’s hilarious.
–“I am God and I absolve you…” the Mad Scientist often has a God complex (c.f Frankenstein) so I’m glad they added this piece to Strange, if in an overt textual way (it was already pretty subtextual with his experiments)
–It goes without saying but everything that is Edward Nygma is on point and excellent and I’d watch an entire episode of him playing “Life Or Death!” with various characters. His mania has been a high point of this entire season.
–“I just like being…titillated…” I love Harvey (though he really needed to catch on to Clay!Jim before Barbara arrived on the scene…)
–Cool Ice and Fire visuals from Mr. Freeze and Firefly, respectively.
–LOL a cup of water saves the day but Ms Peabody wasn’t even trying to give them a hint! That’s fantastically hilarious and the sort of dark comedy that show does well.
–“That’s my car!” LOL Jim is finally getting more of a personality which is fantastic.
MIXED
–Added a mixed section just for this: is going after Leah the right move??? It was the right move like 5 episodes ago. Now, when the city is overrun with Big Bads and Batman is still Baby!Batman and can’t do anything as a masked vigilante…maybe leaving isn’t the right move?
DISLIKED
–Strange has some handy dandy “truth serum” laying around! (Walking back some of that criticism: that fits with Strange’s over the top trope of Mad Scientist, though, who usually have all manners of horrors at their disposal. So it’s a nitpick from me really)
–They really like having Fish declare her full name with an expletive, don’t they? The first time is funny and appropriate, the second is eye-roll worthy.
–Really, Penguin? Really? A head on a stick to decorate your room? (Again, every time Penguin enters this story it feels like a totally different show and one that is rather unbearable this season with it’s total hammyness and lacking depth. Penguin’s story this arc was just so...stupid. Right down to that annoying music that kicks in every time he’s enters the show.) However, Butch’s line about interior decorating was spot on.
After thoughts:
–I don’t get the final scene? Is that supposed to be Dark!Baby!Batman?? Is it possible that he’s Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr??)
–Did anyone else hear Jerome?!
–Who else did people see? Killer Croc, Bane….?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, I’m not sure what they would do with Emma. The problem is that Evil!Emma wasn’t part of “Emma” in the same sense that the EQ is simply part of Regina. Emma was infected with Darkness and it was removed from her, but it was never part of her over all damage/psyche. Regina’s EQ comes out as part of who Regina simply *is* because the EQ was born during moments of heartache, loneliness and despair. The closest they can come with Emma is pre-S1 and S1 Emma, when she was jaded and aloof. But that’s not evil the same way that the EQ is “evil.”
If the rest of the town/characters are somehow infected with Jekyll/Hyde’s potion, I suspect there will be some sort of handwave that makes Emma “immune” to it because “Savior!”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"saw how she and Sleeping Beauty rescued Prince Philip’s soul from the wraith.
This one especially.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That trailer is EVERYTHING. I actually got very teary eyed.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Waiting for the fairytale paris con for Lana Parrilla, Sean Maguire, & Rebecca Mader is awful…
Oh dear. That’ll be an interesting one….
