    Excellent episode

    The story line has been amazing so far. The political agendas, everything looks surreal. I really wish Hughie and Annie will get back together after all that has happened. The final scene was totally unexpected. Kudos to the direction team as everything went well accordingly, even I really liked the scene where they brought up butcher's family issue in the middle of their war with Vought.

    One of the best?

    This series is creating its own class in terms of shock value: unpredictability is shocking, weird and very twisted and sometimes hilarious . The directing, exhibition, staging costume, effects are like watching a high-budget movie. This series is going to be memorized a thing of the past, this series is talked about as it is today about breaking bad or sopranos; here comes the classic

    A strong penultimate episode

    A strong penultimate episode. Lots of plotting going on at this point and characters moving their sub-plots forward. Shaun Ashmore is a treat and the ending is unexpectedly great.

    Entertaining

    There were so many little surprises and a few shockers in this episode. This show never disappoints on cliff hangers and mystery. I'm a sucker for mystery because It keep me watching. I'm a little sad that this season is about to end and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the season finale.

    Two words: John Noble. Just that. What an amazing actor. Not the best season, but a very good episode. And again... John Noble.
