POOR THINGS: the mental gymnastics of critics
I'm amused how everyone seems to assume this is extremely odd for carriage drivers to experience. My brother used to drive a limo and let me tell you--couples take advantage. Ask yourself why the Regency had SO MANY RULES if it wasn't in response to things that were going on? BTW the hottest part of this very very hot scene was when he looked into her face before going any further, and waited until she nodded.
I was mostly shocked because they either had to be sure the drivers are super loyal OR easily bribed... but 100% yes to the nod ;)
Please watch the last episode. Yes, it's a tear-jerker, but Toranaga has one of the HARDEST lines when he discusses Mariko: "With the regents united, I could never send an army to Osaka. It would have meant certain death...so, I sent a woman to do what an army never could.” We learn that thanks to Mariko, a unified Japan will have peace that it hasn't seen in centuries. Historically, this began the shogunate of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who Lord Toranaga is based on. While a fictional version of what actually happens, this Shogunate that lasted 260 years was possible because of Mariko's strength & determination.
Hi, it's actually up on the channel as well! But 100% agree, Toranaga was cold blooded
Maximus is definitely the most complex character among the three mains. He constantly lies, like agreeing to help Lucy even if he had no authority to get the Brotherhood to help. His reason for him joining the Brotherhood; "I want to hurt those who hurt me" feels like a cover.
Yeah, he is so interesting! I thought I could pinpoint his motivation as revenge/faith in the brotherhood, but with all his actions and the constant lies it makes me wonder...
Fallout!❤ thanks Barbz!
Barbz: "Juicy, juicy, juuuuicy!" Me: "It's Lucy, actually."
😂
Don't take the knife out if you can go to a hospital, a emergency room, or have some immediate help. If you will fight or need to run, just remove it or you will have more internal damage.
Yeah I mistakenly assumed she would get help! But then everyone explained the stimpaks so it made sense to remove it :)
"Why can't there be a show where people are kind and just do stuff?" That's the defining principle of Iyashikei anime. And a fair amount of Japanese minimalist narrative in general. In an odd way it's more subversive than most. It subverts the most banal pretense in all of fiction: the Aristotelian requirement of conflict.
It's said when we hate something we should look at ourself. The Ghoul is not an exception. :)
She’s on a mission for a new Bert… Mission successful???😳
When The Ghoul is watching his movie, Coop says the thing about "ugly, strong, and had dignity", then tells the villain that he has two out of three (implying that he had no dignity). But the kicker is, that at this point in his life, the same could be said for The Ghoul.
Great catch!
Fantastic vid, BarbzThings, lovely!❤
Thanks for watching!
I like your representation...keep going one day u will get enough viewers💟👍
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words <3
i really love Pen's outfit in the library scene... my favorite actually... and i totally agree with you about the side characters stealing Polin moments..,
All her outfits are SO BEAUTIFUL! She really glows this season
i totally agree with you for Polin moments...
Lovely ❤
you're not prepared to colin's descend into madness....
It's going to be DELICIOUS
I think they must have had dance lessons back then. Last season eloise and gregory are practicing steps together.
One of the things I find very fun in these reaction videos is the glee with which some enjoy Colin's suffering. Which is deserved. The consensus with many is that Francesca is on the autism spectrum, which makes a lot of sense to me. A few years ago I wrote a play with a character on the spectrum and did a lot of research. Francesca certainly seems to fit the bill, not least in her myopic focus and desire of quiet. It fits also with our seeing a handsome young rake in a wheelchair, and two women signing to one another. Diversity is a plus. It is startling (and welcome) to see Cressida as a character with restraint, vulnerability, and also changing. Just as the darker aspects of Eloise (who frankly seems to have zero natural awareness that others' opinions can be valid, or that her situation is in fact very privileged on so many levels--not least the powerful support structure that almost no one else has). An interview with the actress playing Penelope noted how she has changed her voice over the seasons, not least now she speaks slower and in a deeper register--her voice growing closer that of Lady Whistledown! I personally think Penelope is in many ways all of us--the lonely one, the one with different tastes that others despise, the one who struggles with hope, who looks at herself and sees someone with the wrong body, etc. Like Poe's poem "Since childhood's hour I have not been as others were...and all I loved, I loved alone." We are all Penelope, Cyrano, Tyrion, Brienne, etc. At the same time I must say Penelope's sisters are hilarious, especially the raw cluelessness of Phillipa! But she's a quick learner!
All great points! I love how something that is, at core, a silly romance show can have so many interpretations :)
I've been binging season 3 reactions constantly since i finished watching part 1- thank you 😭
Same! I love watching reactions but I didn't want to spoil myself so I'm hurrying to finish this part ASAP!
Exchanging fingers and not in a fun way had me rolling.
So innocuous, and yet, so very naughty.
When Lucy got out of her vault, she saw the Santa Monica pier. That's the Los Angeles, California area. She's on foot, so it's likely all in California.
13:00 I don’t think vial will help her anymore. Roger had all those vials that he just used recently by his feet that couldn’t stop him from going feral. At some point if the feralizing? process has gone too far, it seems inevitable.
Makes sense - Martha was just so heartbreaking, I was looking for any solution...
Lovely!❤
I tend to think of this as the episode where Lucy starts to understand how much she doesn’t know about the world of the wasteland.
That makes me excited for next episodes! I really like her and how she sticks to her moral code, I just wish she had a tiny bit more of some... self-preservation.
The Ghoul doesn't personally "hate" Lucy, he hates what she represents, which is Vault-Tec. As for the "medicine" you see him taking, this is something new that this show has added, you don't find it in the games. Once a ghoul starts to turn feral (zombie) there is no amount of the medicine they could take to prevent them from turning.
Oh I had no idea it's not in the games! I'm putting off playing them until after I finish the show.
i mean, they're already engaged. finger exchange and all🤷♂️
Liked & subbed
Is been a hell of a day for Lucy
So far Lucy has been very forward. Will she and the ghoul be more than friends? Maybe. Probably.
Have you seen the movie Haywire?
No! Is it good?
@@barbzthings I enjoyed it
So about the "putting back the finger thing". Mr Handy's primary protocol is to basically help then any secondary programing comes after. So 1st help and fix then snip-snip
"Oh I'm you sweetie, you just give it a little time"
What is your accent?
I'm polish!
@@barbzthings Cool! I used to live in Ukrainian Village neighborhood in Chicago, which was largely populated by old-school Polish families for some reason. Great neighborhood, had the best diner in the city, and the "Zimne Piwo" bars were great for contemplative drinking or watching the big sports game (on a 13" black-and-white screen or such).
here waiting for the reaction to episodes 3 and 4 lol 👀
Thank you so much <3 I was away for a bit but I actually have episode 3 recorded so hopefully it will be up soon!
yes the games are good and a vary immersive world if you are the type to read all the notes and the like. also vary good story telling with the settings no words needed. I.E. the family around the table in episode 2. fallout 1 and 2 = top down RPGs falloutdc 3, new vagus, and 4 = FPS with some RPG aspects (less as time goes on) fallout 76 = like 4, but with MMO like aspects. they have added much story that was missing at launch. in time line it is a prequel.
Then why is it bombing? No Max; no watch.
Probably many factors that are causing other "big" movies to bomb as well (I spoke about this in the context of The Fall Guy if you wanna check it out!) but I genuinely think we're gonna see the movie critically and universally acclaimed with time!
I feel like Colin is only his true self when he's with pen and when hes with his family. But really I think the only two people that know him the most are Pen, Eloise! I also love his relationship with his siblings and his mom. I'm loving this season! Team Polin💙💙💙
You really do talk a lot.
I love it.
Also episode 2 I NOTICED SOMETHING, pen actually slips up! When Colin comes to visit her she says ‘ it would have been weird if she hadn’t reported it’ SHE SAID THE SAME TO ELOISE but she said it to Colin first unintentionally omggg I think they are gonna bring this up again when he finds out 😮 because WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT lol
As a lady who has lived the “would you kiss me?” scene at the absolute lowest point in my life and had my request denied by my best friend of almost 20 yrs….I was bawling when Colin actually did it. I love these two characters together. And these two actors are a phenomenal pairing. Luke does a fantastic job playing Colin pretending to be a womanizer. When he’s “on” he seems false, aloof, even a bit creepy -that awful wink!- but when he’s with Pen he doesn’t act that way. He is honest, blunt, and genuinely charming. The market scene is him trying to be both. When he’s fully focused on Pen, he’s old Colin. When he gets distracted by a girl, he turns his womanizer facade “on” very briefly before going back to real Colin as he continues speaking with Pen. And Nicola is brilliant this season. But I think she’s been great from the start of season 1.
Thank you for commenting and sharing! And I agree, the moments when Colin is just with Penelope, being himself, is when I like him the most - I'm actually very excited about the rest of the show!
Lucy is not a character from the game. In fact nothing from the show happened in any game. As you said it is more a completely new story and characters set in the universe created by the games. Which is honestly pretty cool. It means it is new even for those of us who played every game.
I have since seen a bit of the gameplay and honestly, I think it was a great choice for that reason - nothing gets spoiled when you wanna play after watching!
"so this is futuristic but retro". Exactly retro futurism. An idea of what people in the 1950s might think the future looks like given their understanding of the world. No internet, no iphones but nuclear powered everything to include robots and cars.
I genuinely don't get why so many people hate Colin this much. What exactly did he do that was so offensive across seasons 1 and 2? Other than the awful end of season 2 when I wanted to kill him, I've always thought he was kind and decent. As for his attitude in this episode, it felt completely artificial to me, like he was playing a character of society. Even in this ep, after she calls him out, he drops the act with her.
I actually really liked him before! But the combination of him acting like a fool this episode and his comments last season just makes me want to smack him a bit. He's totally redeemable tho! His scenes with Pen give me hope that we're gonna see some change.
Yes, exactly! It seems like a lot of people hate on Colin just for (apparently) daring not to return Penelope's feelings. It's a really entitled attitude that would not fly if the situation was reversed. Also, Penelope acting/being treated like a victim is rather hypocritical. After all, don't dish it out if you can't take it. One time, Colin engages in dumb locker room talk with a few guys, in order to buddy up to them to help Mondrich, mind you, and he's called cruel and gets hate, yet Penelope herself regularly trash talks anyone and everyone, including Colin, his family and her own, to the entire Ton, with zero accountability (other than Eloise). And she does it for money. How is that not cruel? Isn't it so much worse? The fact that she can look these people in the eye is amazing. What Colin did was awful, but at least he owned it and tried to make amends. I quite like Penelope outside of Lady Whistledown, but I've never been a fan of the 'don't blame me, blame my alter ego' trope. It's like having this persona allows her to disconnect from the consequences of her actions. What happened with Eloise should have been more of a wake up call in regards to how real and serious those consequences can be; it's not just idle gossip. She's messing with people's lives. I'm really hoping she'll gain some much needed self-awareness in part 2, as we see Colin do in part 1.
Yeah, judging by the snippets of part 2 we have seen, It will all go down...
"she steals dads" I swear Lucy is the best😅
There are multiple games, each with its own stand-alone story. Quality varies, but they're generally very good. The Amazon series is set AFTER all the games to date and is its own original story, so it has something new to offer everyone whether they've played the games or not... and if you DO go play the games, each of them will have story elements you've never run into before.
"It looks heavy" It's power armor. It's a whole articulated hydraulic framework that carries its own weight while amplifying the force applied by your own muscles. It IS heavy, but it's not making you carry it. Instead, it's strong enough to carry YOU as well as itself.
Yeah it's pretty intimidating seeing it in full display later on!
You nailed it with 'retrofuturism'. What you're seeing in that first scene is the future of an alternate timeline that split somewhere around the end of World War 2. It's the year 2077, a future as imagined by the people of the 1950s and 60s... a world of cheap nuclear power, domestic service robots, miracle medicines, and a cold war that's been gradually building up to the boiling point of actual military conflict with advanced power armor for limited resources over the course of a hundred years... and even with the advanced electronics like the robots, there's not a microprocessor in sight. The supercomputers are running in vacuum tubes and transistors. And THEN the bombs drop and we jump forward 219 years.
4:54 i strongly agree he very ummmm just ummm yeah
still, until he redeems himself I am remaining a HATER
I enjoyed this movie. Not to the extent I was hoping for but the stunts and action were great, the cast was excellent and all the behind the scenes of the movie set sequences had my inner movie geek very satisfied! Great review
Kinda same - a nice popcorn action film. Thank you for watching!♡
If you didn't, watch the credits montage for this episode. It will give you a bit more information on Cooper.
