Acting was weird
ihussain-441832 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Idk why but the way Vanyas actor did the scene for her screaming at Alison just seemed weird imo. Like it wasn't done by a professional, and by a child. Also Alissons eye twitched when she was dead which doesn't make sense. Some more effort was needed for this scene. The story was decent even though it had some holes in it. But overall an interesting episode for this show

Killer ending

An awesome ending to the episode, but didn't entirely make-up for the snoozefest that was the rest. With an impending apocalypse, why is everyone so nonchalant?

Finally some excitement

I mean it took 40 minutes of the episode for something good to happen but that's better than usual best part of the series so far!

Oh my!

More secrets are revealed and the events come thick and fast now. While a few of them are a bit predictable, some of them hit you hard, because you didn't see them coming. This is what I call good storytelling.

Again I want to point out the perfect chemistry among the actors and actresses. The siblings couldn't possibly be more different from each other, yet they manage to work so well together. And even the supporting characters are written with a lot of depth and therefore are interesting to watch.

First time I've gasped at something in a longtime.

I've pretty much devoted myself to watching this show. It perfectly feels like a watchman v X-men dream baby. Who ever directed this episode did an achievement in story telling. Though this isn't the end of the season, it's a amazing chapter in this book that i can't wait to finish. The end will make you gasp just as Me. And pause on the last shot before the credits... unintentional renaissance??

Really Exciting But Some Silly Mistakes
Hitchcoc22 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
While things roll along to the final episodes, this has us wondering what will happen next. Excellent pacing. That Jenkins guy is really nuts and his manipulation of Vanya is really sad. Of course, that horrid father knew what to do and kept her locked in an isolation chamber. Her sister and her "heard a rumor" power sent her back as a bland, uninteresting child, when she really had incredible abilities. There's more in this episode. I gave it a 9 because of the scene in the hospital where they couldn't put that picture in the guy's face before he was taken away. Anyway, we need to know how bad it is with Allison, if she is dead. I also have trouble believing that Vanya doesn't have some inkling of what is going on after being dragged out of the house as she lay, her throat cut.

X men
emmajaynee4213 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The way Vanya is going is like Eve? from X men where Hugh Jackman had to kill her as she got so powerful. So it's getting like that.. maybe the director didn't know where to go with the ending..

I found Vanya's reaction to what Alison told her to be OTT too as she seemed a peaceful character anyway

Bad writing
jtabone1619 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
You're telling me Allison and the cop couldn't have the guy just take a quick look at the picture before the nurse came in? The nurse also came in very abruptly and it seemed like she couldn't have heard them before saying that. Funny enough they ask the nurse if she saw Vanya later.

Allison didn't have to die

Psychopats
venerisdeus30 June 2022
An altered world should sound good for an art project, but when a creator makes the characters psychopats after his own image, everything becomes crap. Common sense missing.

On the (singular) bright side, the music is magnificent.

And here it goes downhill
Muldino30 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's getting dumber and dumber. Characters are getting more irrational every episode, which starts to really annoy me.

Cha-Cha developing this exaggerated hatred towards Hazel has no grounds in their previous relationship, they had a great dynamic and this just doesn't fit. "I'm going to kill you but I am going to kill her first to make you suffer" is overly dramatic.

Number 7 lashing out this extreme because their father manipilated a baby Allison to use her power. Also, her not believing Allison when she explains the Howard situation, plus Allison doing a piss poor job at explaining why and how Harold is fake.

Everybody behaves like an imbecile.

The stupid scene with the picture in the hospital ("Oh we can't continue talking for another 3 seconds becaus tests") adds to the BS in this episode.

This is terrible writing and only designed to stretch the story, it's disrespectful to the audience.
