She is currently playing a very interesting character in the Apple show "Severance" that involves goats. The season finale dropped this week and she has a pretty amazing scene that seems to call back to some GOT experiences.
What!! My partner and I thought the ride into the deep black hole of Lumon was great. He picked Helly and now we see how deep the rabbit hole goes. To each their own
What are you talking about? It was jam packed with action and interesting character choices and tension between innies and outies and the dehumanizing of innies and the philosophical arguments that brings and SO MUCH MORE. You can disagree with some of the direction the story or characters took, but to say the writers had nothing left when they brought so many storylines together in this episode? No.
I’m with most of the other comments. I cannot understand how someone could come out of this finale thinking the ending was bad, let alone the writers were out of ideas.
I’d really like to hear your thoughts on why.
The premise around the ethical dilemma on whether innies are their own person that deserves a life has never been depicted before.
It stems from my issue with having some closure. I had a burning question the whole series- what is his life going to be like when this is over? (Both innie/outie) having the Innie chose his Innie’s love while running around on the only floor they can exist seemed like a copout to me.
Maybe they were just leaving it open for another season- but if this was the final of the show- yes, I’m disappointed and apparently not the only one since my husband agrees with me.
Oh maybe that’s the hangup then. They have been always planning towards at least 3 (and I think only 3) seasons, which the third was officially announced the day after the finale aired.
Be honest, have you ever written anything in your life? If so, what specifically was wrong with it? Did you read the script and think there were too many words? Not enough capitalization? What?
Re-read my comment. It was the ENDING. That’s it- the rest of the show was brilliant. You can love a show and not love every part about it. It’s not all or nothing.
And yes, I do for a living. It fascinates me that all these negative comments can’t handle a difference of opinion about a fictional show’s ending.
You don’t think there was an option for a better ending?
I don’t really care one way or the other about the ending. It was interesting enough. Could a different ending also have been interesting? Sure. What I do care about is all the simpletons saying “ugh the writing was so bad” when they don’t like something. You not liking it =/= it was written poorly, it means you don’t like it. It’s a you issue, not an issue with the show/movie/whatever.
Or…. It’s just ok to have a different opinion? I mean, I didn’t express my opinion of the ending. Because it really doesn’t matter. But to get upset, seems silly.
Please read properly before making comments on 4 day old threads. I agree with you, that’s exactly what I was saying. It’s okay to have a different opinion and like or not like something. But saying “the writing is bad” is not okay because you don’t know anything about writing and writing doesn’t have measurable qualities. So unless you’re looking at the script and saying “this writing is bad because it has a bunch of misspellings, doesn’t have correct punctuation, and uses too small of a font”, you can’t say whether it was good or bad, only whether you liked it or not.
people will naysay you but the show is leaning hard into the mystery box now and I have a bad feeling this is going to turn out like lost all over again
So far as I can tell, the only way to please the “mystery box bad” people is to leave literally no mysteries in the show and to have the entire season tie up all loose ends as though there won’t be future seasons.
Which doesn’t seem realistic.
Season 1 left a lot of loose threads that were resolved in season 2. I think they’ve earned some trust that they can make things make sense when the time comes.
“They give us half a life and expect us not to fight for it”
Like the other comment mentioned, him choosing Helly instead of helping oMark was entirely established in the birthing cabin scene. He doesn’t know what’s going to happen to them, but he’s going to brave it with the woman he loves.
Did you even watch the episode or the series before it? Like I really wonder what was your takeaway from the birthing cabin scene. I don’t think you get the show.
I wasn’t talking to you. You’re allowed to not like the ending. I was replying to the person that said Marks choice made no logical sense because it did if you paid attention.
It doesn’t need to be logical. People are often illogical, and lead by emotion.
But if you think about it, the writing does have some logic. The writers have said season 1 was like the innies are children (they even kinda dance like toddlers during the MDE), and season 2 is adolescence. Figuring out who they are, acting kinda rebellious. We even got an awkward first time scene. The choice to throw caution to the wind and run away with your first love, us again the world mentality, is totally something teenagers would do. In that way, I see the writing as making sense.
