06:09.58
jim_phoenix
Um.

06:13.41
jim_phoenix
Right? Like Hill Street Blues that type of beat.

06:21.88
booooox
Basically you’re going through the story from the detectives that are reviewing the tapes from the people that are involved in the disappearances of people and um, the tapes themselves. No.

06:31.33
jim_phoenix
Okay.

06:38.12
jim_phoenix
Um, oh I thought it was Grandma’s cookcase but it’s actually from the tape not just grandmas cookies. Okay.

06:41.50
booooox
It’s the tapes themselves and the tapes I think they said that there were I can’t remember 600 of them or something like that. They’re just tapes upon tapes upon tapes of button tapes and there’s 1 guy whose job is to like watch them all and um and it kind of talks about that.

06:45.58
jim_phoenix
6 mokad no.

06:57.94
booooox
And it talks about how many of them are this one particular girl named Cheryl Dumpsey who is um, you’re not um, who is taken as a teenager and basically beat into his slave.

Who care do that’s dark. That’s dark. Why is pain in the cave of us what the hell. So I think I.

07:16.81
booooox
That is dark. It’s That’s why it’s blue you bring him everywhere because he’s your platonic life partner and I still don’t understand it. So it’s an in kind of insidious movie because as.

07:28.58
jim_phoenix
You know it’s just got some et Cs awesomeniffles.

07:36.25
booooox
Watching it, you know because a lot of people are like oh this is a scary one. Oh this is graphic ooh this is creepy. You know I’ve heard I’ve heard this these mentioned several times in several lists from other reviewers from other websites from other places. Yes.

07:49.56
jim_phoenix
Um, really.

07:54.22
booooox
This is one of the ones that always pops up is like oh this is super creepy. This is super like weird and kind of gross and independent. But you know it will keep you up at night, etc etc. So of course now I watch it? Um, so.

08:07.38
jim_phoenix
Um, ah I thought and I was like whatever so I’m interested in what you saw then.

08:13.14
booooox
Okay, well here’s what I saw is as I’m watching it I’m like okay yeah, that’s an interesting story and I like this story. It’s not so much of a story and not so much of a story like study of any 1 person because you don’t know much about the killer.

08:27.96
jim_phoenix
Are.

Advertisement

08:31.95
booooox
And honestly that kind of plays into its benefit much like say black Christmas where you don’t understand Billy at all, you don’t understand the motivations. You don’t understand anything you just know he is there to kill period I’m not talking about the other black christmases and I’m not talking about other.

08:47.52
jim_phoenix
Oh I was thinking of black mass I was like in the one that Johnny Dupp that’s black mass right? Okay orma.

08:48.97
booooox
Poepsie tapes. no no no no yeah um so with this it it is a mystery much like many killer killers in our today times. Are you know like it’s a.

09:04.41
jim_phoenix
Mystery with a hat on a hat.

09:08.96
booooox
Horrible mystery and I think the most insidious thing about this movie is a couple days afterwards you know I would think to myself. Oh you know this reminds me of that one murder that I heard about. And in the back of my mind I would have to be like oh wait. No, that’s a story that didn’t really happen but it’s so believable that and we hear about these stories so often that it’s it’s not out of the realm of possible now some of the kills are over the top.

Advertisement

09:29.37
jim_phoenix
Um, don’t ruin.

09:42.40
booooox
Very over the top. Um, but it’s like okay but you know honestly I’ve heard of weirder stories I’ve I’ve here I’ve heard of these weird stories you know and who’s to say that a killer like this could not exist or has not existed or.

09:54.78
jim_phoenix
Um, I heard this guy you may know.

10:01.20
booooox
Anything like that and I think that is like the most creepy part of it because again, it’s kind of cloying at you because you can go about your day and just be like oh yeah, that’s right I was watching this documentary about this thing and you almost tell people about it like oh I watch this documentary and then you have to stop yourself because you’re Like. No, that was not a documentary that was that was fictional but it was so real and I think they got they did such a wonderful job with it because of that and the actors that they had were so plausible and so um, realistic. Yes.

10:37.49
jim_phoenix
Um, it looks at real people they they could almost need people I like an actor where who are can be people.

Advertisement

10:39.63
booooox
Absolutely yes, absolutely And like there was one interview with the mother and she’s like I met the Killer once I met him like and it actually shows the video footage of that from the Killer’s perspective and she’s like and.

10:49.20
jim_phoenix
Madam Tell everyone.

10:57.59
booooox
Ah, hate that moment every day of my life because I was.

11:01.24
jim_phoenix
Um, sorry there was a Killer’s perspective.

11:05.46
booooox
Ah, and she’s like I hate it because I was so afraid and I did nothing I could have maybe I could have saved my daughter and I did nothing and like that’s just such good writing and such good acting that.

11:16.11
jim_phoenix
That.

11:20.12
booooox
Again, like I would have to catch myself and be like that didn’t really happen. Well not this particular story. No, it’s fictional. Yeah, it’s not I researched it.

11:23.70
jim_phoenix
Or what might have who knows like but how do you know a beauty to research it. How do you know? it’s just not going to go some snuff film. We just watched this faces a death all over again isn’t it that Sam’s honor you know

11:39.16
booooox
It’s It’s oh well, we could do that next time I next time faces a dove because I do have a lot of thoughts on that.

11:41.21
jim_phoenix
Thats we should pick space the death by the way. Damn it we should have pick space so deaf and says a sense of gosh. Damn yeah okay I saw them 8 minutess. Yeah know.

11:55.25
booooox

11:58.70
jim_phoenix
Yes, so for Perepsi tapes you’re saying it got you and you’re blue because you were thinking it. It was a real thing and you’re like well yeah, okay, real document.

12:09.94
booooox
Well I got it got me blue because to so to get that far into society to say oh this is a real thing in my brain to be like yeah that sounds that sounds fair. Um.

12:24.60
jim_phoenix
That’s about right.

12:25.73
booooox
Yeah, that sounds about right I mean that’s why it’s blue because it was it was like oh god that poor poor Cheryl and then I’d be like she wasn’t fucking real like um, but in the way she is because shit like that does happen like um the the numbers for.

13:29.84
booooox
Find you in the Cave I don’t really ah I do anyway. So What I’m going to do is for um. For it being such an independent film. It did so much and I think actually it really did add to the found footage genre and obviously Huh Well shosh Sure it? Yeah but it added to the people’s collective consciousness because again like I said I hear it a lot.

13:50.14

Thank you nothing sports wise well no, that’s just’s gonna shock you then you know the targarians head in says because that’s what all they talked about for like 16 seasons for game of thrones like well we’re just doing with the dark area. Is it nothing wrong with that. We just walk through each other I don’t care. Whatever whatever. But we didn’t know how creepy it was I mean maybe I didn’t find Jamie and cire creepy having sex. It’s kind of like Luke and Leah like oh whatever, their brother and sister but they’re adults. You know this is like older Uncle Daddy and younger sibling. Cousin this is Alabama Noah fans everyone from alabama all 2 of you sitting around what I assume is like the shared community computer to listen door podcast now coming out on a track by the way just to get to Alabama for you.

So if you are a big game of throne fans. It’s great sort of if you were a big game of throne fans for like oh I don’t know you want to see the dragons I go my God dragons and to starts off with dragons like oh my God It starts off with these dragons. Oh my God Ah oh my God This is be awesome. Ah this is awesome. No.

18:38.47
booooox
No dragons.

18:40.55
jim_phoenix
That’s where it’s stopping. Yeah, it’s like they tease a dragon like ah gonna it’s because the house of dragons. It’s literally fucking title. Oh no, no ming’s drag on it’s like the old aszards ski or Steve bit to drag ons like oh man, no no, no, no, no, no. So yeah, you see it for a bit and then I I have dylexia self identifying I guess whatever. But and so names are very hard for me and especially if names are in fiction where they are like elvish or something like that is like fought the fuck and it’s the third circle of Helic I have.

19:12.66
booooox
Oh yeah, so.

19:17.77
jim_phoenix
Would talk to a friend who’s read the same books as me I’m like hey ah the like who and love Obama like who like you like we have to get the book out and I have to look at the name like oh fuck he’s right? That’s like nowhere near the name I’ve been calling it Susan so if you see my reviews I will call Matt Smith Matt Smith because I’m like dam Damian Damu what the fuck Damon Damiian like ah fuck it and I have to do it live so ah for my head is kind of like the doctor is like raping little girls right now I like that’s a dark turn.

19:54.67
jim_phoenix
That’s a dark turn even for shibol you know, okay, whatever and then like some other guy is doing some stuff and he’s like the only person I really know in the cast and he’s the only person who like that the meme is true either seen the meme where it goes mess Smith broke his back. Carrying the fucking season of house or dragon he carries entire thing when he is not in the series or the show it just drag it just fucking sucks like there’s no redemp. There’s no like oh my god I wonder what this character’s thinking. They’re gonna tell you they’re gonna tell you a great length what they’re thinking oh fuck I wished now I’ve been like at least something like to look forward to and no, they just you know what? what my problem was with stranger things the last season stranger things while they just talk.

20:34.30
booooox
Oh do they didon song like in Disney.

20:47.38
booooox
A lot.

20:50.74
jim_phoenix
Andposition talk and talk is like the fucking last habit movie. We just fucking talk? Yeah yeah, yeah, the only difference from like this is the Kevin Smith truck but the only difference between not not this part umbering off of Kevin Smith where it was like even the trees walk in this fucking show. The only difference between the lower rings right now. And the house of dragon the trees don’t fucking talk in the house of dragon that’s it. It’s it’s just like oh my god I don’t know if they’re doing a world building but the world already built like who the fuck is are are they rebooting it because we we don’t know where how Spiderman got powers way to see them get bit by a fucking spider 13 more times. And we we don’t know how Superman got hit I guess just a sun right? That’s kind of work that it go for.

21:32.23
booooox
So I have a question did did j r r Martin have anything to do with it. Did he write it.

21:43.33
jim_phoenix
You know I have no idea all I know is this character right? here is too old to be married off in the house of dragon. That’s all I know I think he has some sort of input on it. But. God. It’s the political. It’s a political theo. Still it’s like oh it’s branded broken but entire season of Brandon Broken with a little bit of a little bit of sack thrown in a little bit a little bit.

22:17.83
booooox
Well, it sounds like it’s only like it only works when Martin is behind it like again I don’t watch it nor do I care but no, no.

22:19.92
jim_phoenix
A little bit.

22:26.69
jim_phoenix
With a dog style and only works when he’s behind it. You never watched house a dragon or game of thrones or they lucky.

22:37.20
booooox
I read the first book and I was fine with that I was okay, same with Harry Potter I read the first book and I was good to stop there. Um I don’t understand you.

23:05.91
jim_phoenix
Um.

23:16.38
booooox
Ah, just that was your kazoo. Oh god he’s getting closer running. Um but it seems like though to me that a lot more people were happier when Martin was like at the home like he.

23:17.99
jim_phoenix
That’s my kazoo. Ah.

Fire. Um, okay if you read the books and then you watch the first couple of seasons game of thrones. It’s the book come to life. It’s like holy fucking shit this is the book come to life.

23:33.49
booooox
Was kind of holding it all together.

23:40.69
booooox
Right.

23:46.95
jim_phoenix
And then when he not even when he stopped writing the book but when he started going off. Script is like oh wait a minute that’s that’s they changed characters. No huge spoilers haven’t seen Gamema Thrones I’m saving some time or naga but.

24:52.60
booooox
Um, let’s put a ah well we’re going to talk about I’m going to talk about Coffins later So I’ll put a pit in that. Yeah Coffin So what is there anything redeemable is the music. Okay.

25:09.16
jim_phoenix
Shit the music is so bad that to the first episode they switched back to the game and thrones theme zone.

25:10.80
booooox
The Cinematography good.

The Matt the thing that works Matt Smith Matt Smith work but he pulls a heavy load on this one. No pun onana and that he is the show. The other people are just kind of plastic even the princesses.

25:23.77
booooox
Yeah, sounds like it. No.

25:39.00
jim_phoenix
Sort of okay but it’s things I think the actress for the princess is being I call it a thirteenth doctor effect. She could be a good actress. She could be a great princess in the Targarian line but the writing sucks ass for her. So she’s not getting the actual chance to do anything.

25:56.31
booooox
Plus it could be the direction that she’s given to.

25:58.90
jim_phoenix
Yet, yeah, and that’s whole thing like it should could be wonderful, but just there’s almost a spark and then it’s like oh we’re gonna talk the episode that just aired by the way we record this on the twenty second so it’s the last episode that aired. I believe I called it. 59 minutes of walking and talking like this is not her fault. It’s not the actress fault. It’s the in writing is the director. It’s the show running. It’s a lot of shit’s wrong with it. It’s not their fault so unless the next couple episodes are just firing flame balls and shit it doesn’t help to keep.

26:17.91
booooox
No, no yeah.

26:35.31
jim_phoenix
Jumping in time to a point we don’t know like is this the kid that they were raping before or is that a new person is that that’s her offspring now is the the offspring which is the banam thing later on I don’t know so.

26:40.27
booooox
Move.

26:48.38
booooox
I I do want to point out though too because a lot of times. This is what people get flak on is that like you said it’s not their faults and a lot of times. It’s the actor or the actress that gets the blame put on them. Um.

27:00.76
jim_phoenix
Um, yeah, that’s up here. No.

Advertisement

27:04.93
booooox
And that’s not fair because they’re they’re doing a job and a lot of times you know the director is the one who directs that the writer is the one you know who write I mean it’s ah it’s a full team. It’s not just one person. So.

27:16.38
jim_phoenix
Um, yeah, yeah, um, even when you think the actor in the actor rankk. Wow Man Even the stuff is for me. Ah, if you if think I just like talk like shit then you’re probably right? It’s not the director or.

27:21.70
booooox
Keep that in mind people when you say stuff online.

27:36.39
jim_phoenix
Writer is. But even if you think the acting is plastic sometimes that’s editing sometimes that’s posts they’re just like we we yeah we need background noises to make it us Believe there’s actual conversations. So when you’re saying hello. My name is and there’s like no other noise. It’s just the actor’s voice.

27:41.18
booooox
Oh yeah, absolutely.

27:55.67
jim_phoenix
It doesn’t seem natural so we just know something’s off something is plastic or something that or could be the camera could be able like and either.

28:00.17
booooox
Or it could be Adr like shitty Adr you know? and um I mean like the best example of that is like the room whereas he walks in hide dogggy you know and it just so cut so miserably that it it like you said it sounds so plastic and so.

28:08.33
jim_phoenix
Um, now.

28:16.43
jim_phoenix
There.

28:18.20
booooox

28:27.20
jim_phoenix
Absolutely, it’s the whole thing other redeeming besides Matt Smith no but um and I’m give it a mercy kill right now if it can turn around it. It has a potential to be like a 4 or 5 it really does and that’s the thing that pisses me out like well this could be a great spirit.

28:29.73
booooox
Okay.

28:37.98
booooox

28:42.84
jim_phoenix
I look forward to I think the joke was I look forward to the white Walker the John snows fit off so we can have John snow like snow walking in the snow because that’s how we know I don’t know you could look at the damn joke up I don’t know but I have more I have more. Like hopes for that spinoff now because it can’t possibly worse my remind me but can’t possibly worse in their park I could be hugely wrong like hey not enough rape and then says boy we got that one fix welcome to John’s note but is it’s all that this’s.

29:06.29

Oh you mean the entire storyline that’s like a half a book for george r r martin and like completely forgot about literally. Forgotten about even by the characters in the fucking game of thrones going. There’s pi hurtships you know. So with all that stuff. It’s kind of like just it’s self-eprecating I don’t think they’re trying to be I think there’s like really oh look. We’re we’re pointing towards the future like you’re pointing towards the book’s future. But not will you actually cut and aired on Hbo so 2.5 if without Matt Smith this is a one by the way or negative some with Matt 2.5 the end. Yeah, so with that said.

The Boys, Season Four Finale

Published

on

We have come now to the finale of season four of The Boys. And while it didn’t have the literal blood fireworks I wanted, someone did get ripped in half in the air. So, that’s pretty close.

As a note, I will try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. This ending was a hell of a gut punch that should be experienced as blindly as possible. That being said, I will not be able to avoid spoilers and still give a full legitimate review. Proceed at your own risk.

The story

The main storyline for this episode is the attempted assassination of President-Elect Robert Singer. The Boys join forces with the Secret Service to protect him. But, as we learned last episode, Annie has been replaced with a shapeshifter. A shapeshifter that was welcome not just into Hughie’s anus, but into the protective bunker in which the President-Elect is hiding.

What worked

The first thing I want to discuss about this episode is the ending. But we need to do this carefully.

Advertisement

The important thing here is that the ending breaks your heart on so many levels. So many terrible things are happening to characters that it’s almost hard to keep track. And each moment is significant to each character.

I cannot give a specific example. But no matter who your favorite character is, you’re going to weep for them.

Jack Quaid in The Boys.

Unless your favorite character is Sage. And this is the next thing that made this episode so fantastic.

I don’t think I’m spoiling anything to say that Sage’s plans worked out exactly as she wanted them to. And she got exactly what she wanted.

What she wanted wasn’t power. It wasn’t money or fame or vengeance. It wasn’t to win the love of anyone. She just wanted to see if she could do it.

That is a terrific, terrifying motivation! Because all she wants is to play a massive game of chess with people as pieces. She doesn’t care about anyone. She just wants to see how many people she can manipulate. She just wants to set things on fire to see if she can.

Fantastic. A plus villain work.

The next thing I want to discuss is a cornerstone of the whole series.

The morality of The Boys shifts through the series. While it’s very much a battle to save the world from overpowered super monsters, it’s also a battle for the souls of our real heroes. And in that battle, there are two warring factors. We have Hughie, always trying to bring everyone up to a better level. And we have Butcher, who has no problem at all hitting rock bottom with a shovel in hand to do some more digging.

In this episode, we saw almost every member of The Boys challenged. Will they rise to their higher angels, or sink with their demons?

On a similar note, I am so glad that the writers kind of addressed my issues with Annie. They did this by having the shapeshifter get right into her face and accuse her of thinking that she’s better than everyone.

Advertisement
Erin Moriarty in The Boys.

While that was devastating for the character, it was a little cathartic for those of us who felt like Annie was a little too good of a good guy.

What didn’t work

This is a small matter, but it is an issue that I want to address. After Annie finds out that Hughie slept with her doppelganger, she is furious at him.

In addition to this being unfair, it’s also a very cliche element to add. In almost every instance of a lookalike in fiction, there’s a moment where the love interest of the victim is fooled. Or almost fooled. And it’s always the same fight. It’s just played out and predictable. I’m just glad that it didn’t last very long.

Now that we’ve come to the end of the season, I can officially say that it was amazing. The story was deep and rich. The special effects were a stomach-turning good time. The character development was spot-on and satisfying. And, of course, it left me just about gagging to see what happens next. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have a bit of a wait. Because as of right now, the fifth season isn’t expected until 2026.

The Boys, The Insider

Published

on

We’ve reached the second to last episode of The Boys, season four. And, as is appropriate for the penultimate episode of any show, things have to get a lot worse before they can get better.

Let’s discuss.

The story

Christmas is coming, and the whole world is getting ready. Ryan, despite being very clear that he didn’t want to appear on any TV shows or movies, has been strong-armed into participating in a Vought puppet Christmas special. He draws the line, though, when asked to sing about turning one’s parents in if they start talking about woke things.

Cameron Crovetti in The Boys.

Meanwhile, The Boys are trying to keep each other together. Butcher decides to take Sameer to the rest of the team. He also gets Frenchie out of prison, hoping they can make the Sup virus necessary to finally take down Homelander. Instead, this decision means disaster for one member of the team.

What worked

I first want to talk about Ryan’s speech near the end of the episode. Because it was exactly the moral of this whole story.

Ryan’s dad is a monster. His stepdad is also kind of a monster. But Ryan is a good kid. He cares about people, about family. And while he loves Homelander and Butcher, he doesn’t want to be like them.

Even better, this speech sounded like something a kid would say. Ryan didn’t open his mouth and start sounding like a college student all of a sudden. He sounds like a kid who misses his mom and wants to live up to the good standards she set for him. And I think that’s terrific.

Speaking of Homelander, he shot himself in the foot in this episode. I said earlier in the season that his hubris was going to be his downfall, and I was right. Without Sage, he just has the same weaknesses he’s always had. He’s going to fail because he just isn’t clever enough or patient enough to succeed.

Without Sage, I think a win is in the bag for The Boys. This isn’t to say that Homelander by himself isn’t dangerous. It’s just that he’s more like a wildfire than a controlled burn. He’s going to cause a lot of damage, but not get anything he wants out of it.

More’s the pity for him and everyone else who has to share his world.

Finally, I am thrilled with A-Train’s redemption story. I love that he wants to be a good person not to save himself, but to be a good person. His honest, pure and warm reaction to that little kid smiling at him in the last episode was heartwarming. It changed him in a moment, bringing to light a goodness that he’s been keeping under wraps for a long time.

Jessie T. Usher in The Boys.

This, along with Ryan’s courageous speech, proves once again what The Boys does so well. Yes, it’s gruesome. Yes, there’s blood and balls and batshit events. Yes, someone occasionally gets ripped in half. But there is a true human goodness in the story. One that we catch glimpses of. There are good people among the monsters. There is hope for redemption.

What didn’t work

Of course, so few things in this life are perfect, and this episode was no exception. For instance, I was irritated by the insinuation that Butcher cheated on his wife.

Advertisement

That just doesn’t make any sense. We’ve seen flashbacks of Billy and Becca. They were happy. He was happy. He was head over heels for her. And I don’t think it’s realistic or necessary for the character to throw in that he cheated. It does nothing to add to the story, it’s just a weird and offputting moment.

Doesn’t Butcher have enough to hate about himself? Can’t we just give him that at least he was a good husband?

Finally, I kind of hate that we ended up with Annie being caught. It’s just cliche, which is something I don’t normally say about this show. It feels lazy unless they do something very clever with it in the last episode. Which, I suppose, they might.

Next up is the season finale. And with this season being as insane as it has been, I’m expecting nothing short of bloody fireworks. And I mean literal fireworks of blood. At this point, would it surprise anyone?

The Boys, Dirty Business

Published

on

Episode six of The Boys was one of the most surprising episodes of the series so far. And that is certainly saying something. Because this season has so far been bonkers.

The story

Our episode today revolves around a party at Tek Knight’s lovely mansion. Yes, it does look just like Wayne Manor.

The Boys know that Tek Knight is working with Homelander on something, but they don’t know the details. So they decide to send Hughie in to bug the mansion.

Because that’s worked so well the other two times he’s tried to hide a bug!

It should surprise no one that this time goes no better. Hughie finds himself in Tek Knight’s basement. And by that I mean his BDSM dungeon.

Meanwhile, the party upstairs is no less disturbing. Homelander and Sage are trying to convince some well-off political donors to support a cue after the election. When pressed for details on his plan, Homelander freezes. He looks to Sage for help, but she wasn’t recently shot in the head and still in the junk food stage of her healing.

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point of view, Neuman jumps in and saves the day.

Claudia Doumit in The Boys.

What works

If I’m going to say one thing about this episode, it didn’t hold back at all. I didn’t expect them to show a character masturbating, sitting their bare behind on a cake, or spraying breastmilk into someone’s face. But every time I thought they’d cut the scene and let something be left to our imagination, they did not do that.

Derek Wilson in The Boys.

This is a dangerous move. Whenever you show the monster, you run the risk of them not being scary enough, or gross enough. As Stephen King says in Danse Macabre, to leave this sort of thing to the imagination if the reader makes things so much worse. So when they finally experience the monster, they might say that this isn’t so bad. It could have been so much worse.

But in this case, they managed to avoid that by making the scenes, especially the ones in Tek Knight’s dungeon, so much worse than I imagined it would be.

Advertisement

What doesn’t work

While this was a deeply disturbing episode in many ways, there was one really innocent and sweet moment.

And yes, I did have a problem with it.

Confronted by Firecracker, Annie decides to apologize for spreading rumors about her when they were kids. She tells her that she is genuinely sorry.

And I believe her. I don’t think Firecracker did, but I did.

So why is this an issue? Because I’m starting to think that Annie is maybe too nice. She is too good.

Advertisement

I know that Annie is our good guy. But every one of the other good guys has flaws. Hughie let his pride get in the way and took Temp V. MM hid himself from his daughter instead of teaching her to work through her emotions. Kimiko is far too closed off and has a hard time trusting others. Frenchie numbs himself with drugs. And well, what hasn’t Butcher done?

It is unrealistic that Annie is just so kind and so flawless. We all have shadows in our personalities. We all have weaknesses, we all mess up. We all do things we wish we could take back. The fact that Annie doesn’t seem to have anything like that is not just unrealistic. It’s infantilizing.

Give her some deep dark secrets. Give her something real to regret.

This was a shocking episode, even for someone fairly jaded like me. I wasn’t expecting the sort of weird sexual depravity, though I guess maybe I should have seen it coming. It was dark, upsetting, tense, and funny as hell. And with just two episodes left in the season, I can imagine the stakes are only going to get higher.
