Lucifer: Super Bad Boyfriend (2019)
Best Season Ever.
NETFLIX really outdid themselves on this season. It is far better than the seasons where FOX was the producers.
NETFLIX made it brief and fun.
Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019)
An Actual Review
I have rated this episode a 9/10.
I think this review speaks for a lot of people who watch the show.
Many aspects of this episode were great, before watching I thought it is going to be like episode 2 where they do not do anything but prepare.
They did that and also the director and producers surprised us with Rhaegal's death and Missandeis, I think this episode deserves a 9 rating, it is afterall great and it was all we expected and maybe more.
None of the episodes on GoT deserve a rating below 8.8. This episodes deserves a 9+ because of the plot twist and finally the shattering of plot armor. The death of Missandei at the hands of the Mountain and Cersei was great.
It was well directed and I loved how Missandei said Dracarys as her final words.
I know that some stuff are unrealistic for example; how did the dragons not see the fleet and how did Daenarys also not see it.
How did Varys not hear the whispers that Euron is coming with his fleet.
I think some aspects were unrealistic but this episode overall was great and deserves a 9 rating.
Stop being hypocrites and judging an episode for the whole season. This is an episode review not a season review. Do not be idiots.
Rate this episode fairly and not 1/10 because "it wasn't realistic".
There are dragons in the show. Get over it.
Rating 9/10.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
Review on GoT Long Night Episode.
I have watched the whole show 4 times and I understand when an episode is good or when its anticlimactic, in this case, I think its a little of both.
Let me explain:
The episode it self was great, the planning was great and the acting was great, the thing I loved the most was Aryas jump on the Night King that no one expected, we were all expecting a fight between Jon and the Night King but that is what makes this show great, its unpredictability.
The Acting:
The acting in this episode was fantastic, all the actors did their jobs amazing and according to the scripts and I applauded for them and for their acting through 55 nights in the dark when it was according to Emilia(Daenarys) -14 degrees, that is very cold and it is hard to act in the cold, so cheers to them and we should all thank them for their inspiring and fascinating acting.
10/10
The Writing:
I am dissapointed in the writers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, they have made a great impression in their writing in previous episodes for example Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards, those were the shows top episodes getting a rating of 9.9, this episode did not have great writing at all, there were some scenes that were great but most of them weren't. I think David and Weiss got too excited and stressed, they wanted to create the perfect writing that they forgot what their perfect writing was, they wrote while being stressed and got the job done horribly.
6/10
The Directing:
As we know from past episodes for example Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards, Miguel Sapochnik directed them and he did such an amazing job that we got to experience the battle on a high emotional level that it made us feel like we are in the battle ourselves, but in this episode I think he did not do the best job, I think all the nights of filming he wasn't in his right mindset, he did a great job but throughout all the episode I was never once connected to a scene emotionally, except for the Ser Jorah's death, that was an epic death.
8/10
The Lighting:
Ugh, don't get me started on the lighting, it was horrible if you were watching the episode on a TV, I think they may have ran out of budget for lighting, I think they need to up the brightness on certain episodes but if the brightness was an issue for you, you could always watch it on the phone and put it to maximum brightness.
8.5/10
The Ending:
The ending for this episode was very climactic, the thought of having Arya kill the Night King was great, I know some of you think that she just met him and that Jon should've been the one who killed him but no, Jon is always the hero in every battle scene, so it was time for someone else to use all of their hard training and their ninja skills to sneak up behind the Night King and kill him.
Even though it was a great ending, I think a better one would have been if Jon and the Night King fought and had a sword fight and the Night King killed Jon then Arya comes up from the back and kills the Night King in the same way but Jon dies. That would've been better.
9.5/10
Plot Armor:
The show is known for not having plot armor or not even caring about them, for example, lets take the red wedding and see, Robb was a main character and so was Catelyn but just like that they died in literal seconds, plot armor didn't even protect them, thats what made this show special and brutal and made fans love it. This season Sansa, Jon, Dany, Tyrion... all have plot armor, thats what made me not love it more.
8.5/10
Overall Rating: 8.5.
