Who Is Alive?

HOLY OH MY GOD WOW I COULD WATCH THIS EPISODE 10000000 TIMES AND NOT GET TIED OF IT. This episode was quite literally perfect. It was so good and entertaining through and through. Everyone was with their loved ones or discovering their loved ones. I genuinely melted and then the shock of the world at the end was just perfect. All of this was so good it was literally insane how my jaw stayed intact and didn't fall onto the floor. I cannot wait for more people to see this episode and for it to have a great rating on IMDB because it was quite literally insane. Cinematography, writing, direction, editing. WOW.

WOW SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Unlike the previous epsiodes where it was brilliant cinematography, world building, etc, this episode actually pushed the plot forward. And wow the implications are HUGE. I can't wait for what's coming next. You know what crazy? The NInja low taper fade meme is actually just still massive because the previous two episodes were just discussing what happened post-OTC. It was just filling in the gaps and tightening the loose ends. Once that was done, it made room and set up this brilliant episode. The cinematography here was AMAZING. The draw backs, references, all aamazing. I wonder who directed it...

When the episode began, I anticipated a typical mid-season installment, but I was pleasantly surprised. The final scene was nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing impeccable direction and compelling storytelling. The way the narrative unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat, and the tension built up masterfully to a gripping climax.

Gwendoline Christie delivered a standout performance, adding depth and nuance to her character. Her portrayal was both powerful and subtle, making her one of the highlights of the episode. Adam Scott, as always, was exceptional. His ability to bring his character to life with such remarkable skill and authenticity is truly commendable. His performance added an emotional layer that resonated deeply!

This episode's direction was also top-notch. The visual composition and pacing contributed to an immersive and engaging experience. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into crafting this episode, making it a testament to the show's high standards.

In summary, this episode was a brilliantly executed piece of television that left me eagerly awaiting the next one. It's a shining example of what the series is capable of and sets a high bar for future episodes!

Severance kicks into high gear only 3 episodes in with a crazy ending, and some mesmerizing editing and directing. It's a thrilling creative choice, and once again displays this show's intention to not stick to its status quo.

The shifts in pacing between episodes is definitely a structural adjustment from the first season, but it all still feels cohesive. Groundwork was set beautifully in the earlier episodes, and now things are really moving. Great writing.

Every scene is amazing to watch for different reasons. This is the most fun weekly show to theorize about in quite a while. I also love watching every character, which may be a first for me in any TV show. Phenomenal acting across the board, this could very well sweep the Emmys come end-of-year despite all the much anticipated TV releasing in 2025.

The pacing of this episode started slow. I thought it was going to be an episode that was mostly subtext, mood, and implications. Which it was, but it was also probably my favorite episode of this season so far. The last scene of this gave finale vibes. It's going to be a long week for me, waiting for the next episode. I feel like they are creating something they know has a big fanbase, because while they're playing it close to the chest, they're serving up a lot of moments they know the fans will be excited to see. I'm heavily invested in the show at this point, and each episode is satisfying, but leaving me asking more questions.
