Commodore Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Scott Glenn has great comedic timing, every time he said shit or fuck I loled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetyrPunkinhead Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'll just echo what a lot of people have already written and say Scott Glenn knocked this episode outta the park. between this and his role as Stick on Daredevil he is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. And the writing for this episode was also exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This is now my second favorite episode of the season only surpassed by season 2 episode 8. I am really sad that we are wrapping this show up right now. It has finally reached its glorious stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Scott Glenn was great, but Lady Smallwood explaining how she never even considered looking for her children was wrenching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Agree with most, it was a slow episode, you could see it building toward the end of last weeks but took a long walkabout to get there. The last 5 minutes made it worth it though. So they were already building that boat before they found him correct? Feel for the lady, I mean, you would assume that they were all taken, not just one.

Astromech Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Ouch, harsh ending, but it's making sense of Nora's denial of Kevin in s3 ep1. Both Kevin and Nora are so vulnerable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Weird that the guy Kevin Sr. met last week said he was rejected for saying he wouldn't kill the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetyrPunkinhead Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Damn. S3E4 was another emotional rollercoaster. That scene with Kevin and Nora in the hotel was just...damn. 7 hours ago, Nictarion said: Yeah, I wonder if they only take those that refuse to answer at all? I'm glad y'all caught that about the killing a baby to cure cancer. I even went back and checked the last episode to make sure I remembered that the self-immolation guy gave the opposite answer of Nora. I think maybe the whole thing is a scam or some kind of psychological experiment being run. Either that or those "scientists" didn't like Wu-Tang Clan. They seemed like they'd be more Tribe Called Quest fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thinking about it more I think the two scientists disagreed on whether Nora was for real or trying to bust them even before she arrived. Her flippant answer to the baby murder question once she established it wasn't her baby may have sealed the deal, even if she did give the right answer. Also during that conversation I couldn't help but think of The Prestige. I'll leave it at that for now but anyone who hasn't seen that movie should. Even if I'm way off about it's relevance to this subplot, it's still a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Nora - it's funny how she reacts to Kevin when he calls her out about how she truly feels. She knows damn good and well that she was planning to go through with it and he saw through her. Now it kind of blows out the theory that "old Nora" we saw was current time and from radiation damage. Kevin - Dude is going through some serious mental suffering. Questioning everything he see and hears must be rough. I know they aren't going to tie this up in a tidy bow when it ends but I do want some resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King in Black Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Take on me is one of those songs that I often find stuck in my brain, so I was pleasantly surprised by its inclusion in the episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 the man who was rejected and set himself on fire gave the opposite answer to the question, yes? edit: nm I see it was answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 So maybe the tests are a way to weed out people who are suicidal and not truly believers? Didn't Nora used to pay someone to shoot her in the chest to feel the pain? And then she clearly isn't 100% sold on this thing and thinks they may be kill her and steal her money and yet she is there. The other guy killed himself after being rejected. IDK, hopefully we hear a little more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I read a NY Times article the other day theorizing perhaps the test is another stunt by the Guilty Remnant. Perhaps it is. Perhaps they are taunting or breaking individuals who hold similar occupations like Nora's with DSD. I don't think the answer(which we probably won't get anyways) is as important as its effect on those individuals. This show has always been more about the emotional and psychological journey of the characters. The reality is less important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetyrPunkinhead Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Today I was wondering what if these scientists are legit. What if they won't accept people that are dishonest with their answers? For example, self-immolation guy honestly would've killed the kid to save cancer, but he didn't answer honestly, so they rejected him. Same with Nora and her likely unwillingness to kill any baby no matter the benefits of its death's outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Probably my least favorite episode of the series so far. That shit was weird even for this show. Eccleston was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I laughed a few times out loud. Probably not what Matt imagined a meeting with God would be like. I liked the episode, but missed Kevin and Nora a bit. The music was completely on point this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 After watching season 1 I decided not to watch 2 but after lurking I decided to go back and watch season 2 and I'm glad I did. I've watched the first two episodes of season 3 and I like it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
