    To the haters: we are SO back!!!!

    My God, I feel like everybody who is a part of this community is terrified that this is going to be a new Game of Thrones type ending fumble. I think we're just in disbelief of how good the show really is lol.

    This episode was great, even though there were no major reveals. All of the plot lines had such momentum and were absolutely captivating. The cinematography continues to bedazzle. The cinematography team makes it look like every frame should be hung in a museum.

    I will say, though, waiting week after week for the definitive answer of what the heck is Cold Harbor. Is getting. On. My. Nerves. They better reveal everything next episode!!!

    The (Not So) Calm Before the Storm.

    If the penultimate episode of the season had this much tension I fear how intense the finale is going to be.

    This episode did a great job at both paying things off and setting things up for the big finale similarly to S1's second to last episode.

    Lot's of emotions this episode and I have to admit I almost teared up a few times; the way it tackles these themes of innocence and the continual ones of individuality are especially potent this episode.

    Some brilliant performances this episode, this show better sweep the Emmys because it deserves to!

    Overall fantastic episode, one of the best of the season, hoping next week reaches the heights of the first season's finale.

    Better than 2x08, but still sparse on detail

    We finally return to catch up with our four friends in MDR, but this episode suffers from lack of major plot advancement for being so late in the season. The show has so little character development this season compared to last. We've gotten some background information, and that's fine, but I feel like the plot-driven aspect has slowed down compared to season one. If the show isn't plot-driven, and has mostly stopped being character-driven too, then what's left? The mystery? That's it? The mystery alone isn't enough to make a great show, but that's pretty much all the show has been for the majority of the last handful of episodes. It's getting frustrating.

    50 Minute episode with 8 minutes of content

    Season 1 was by far much better. I was hoping this episode was going to be amazing given the last 2 slow ones but its just another slow paced episode with a bunch of filler.

    We get good information but once again the story only really starts to progress in the last few minutes to lead up to the season finale. Starting to feel like the walking dead where nothing happens until the episodes cliffhanger. I still do enjoy the show but as time goes on it's leaving more and more to be desired.

    No wonder the finale is going to be 70+ minutes long, it needs to be in order for us to get 15 minutes worth of actual story.

    I welcome your thumbs down.

    Another wow

    So good. I had to leave another review for this weeks...everything from last week to now is going exactly how it should in my opinion at least haha. It gives you exactly the information needed and just enough to leave you also wondering for what WIll happen...:)) lots of people expecting so much to happen and to be revealed but also at the same time this sets up the perfect episode for the finale and sooooo on :)))!!:) I think they really did it phenomenally same as the last week with harmony's (cobels) episode. You should all watch this you won't be disappointed:] have a good night/morning. Ps Irving you are my fave.

    • Trivia
      The title of this episode "The After Hours" was originally the title of a Twilight Zone episode #34 from season 1, 1960, written by Rod Serling. The episode, starring Anne Francis, revolves around a department store where the mannequins come to life one at a time and are allowed to go out into the real world for one month. This same episode of Twilight Zone is referenced in the scene where Ms. Cobel speaks to the security guard at the birthing retreat--their dialogue about a "Miss Marsha White looking for a gold thimble on the 9th floor, specialties department" mirrors Rod Serling's opening narration from "The After Hours."
