    Amazing episode!

    There have been one or two reviewers here who have summed up this episode far better than I could. Suffice to say that it was an amazing contribution to the season.

    Something else that is pretty amazing to me are the people here who have clearly watched this show season after season and KNOW that every season is tied up nicely by the end. Still, there is ALWAYS complaining throughout the season about how things should be this way or that. Take the show for what it is. It truly doesn't OWE you anything. but rest assured that this season will have an amazing finale, just like it has for the past seven seasons.

    Boring.

    2 out of 5 stars.

    Well this episode goes downhill with boredom with the concept of witches trying to stop Michael Langdon. With the witches going back in time to prevent one massacre to change history. Concept is dumb. I do like Michael Langdon and his reign to bring the apocalypse.

    get to it

    They are not explaining anything and are just dragging everything out. seems like they just winged every episode

    Dragging the season

    This weeks episode felt incomplete and short. The writers did a horrible job with writing, it felt like they were lazy, there were like many loopholes and unexplained things going on. It seems to me that putting almost whole season in the backstory is too much, and then, and in the same time leaving us, ironically with unanswered questions. I seriously doubt that the finale will be any good after seeing this. I hope I am wrong, but if episode 10 is not 1 hour and 30 minutes long, I don't know how will they fix this mess of episode 8 and 9.

    Maybe you should see through those eyes:

    The season is not necessarily about the end of the world, although it is, it is about the preproperation pro act. All episodes end up adding something to the story, if you see by that point, and of course, that in some episodes it ends up wrapping the plot, but that's part, it's what keeps people like you entertained even you supposedly not liking. But the series is developing very well, and creating a plot that involves you episode by episode, how everything was architected, and if you are a person who sees with these eyes it becomes an extremely good season. Now if you expect the reconstruction of the world, and how it would be, I'm sorry, but this is going to be a little explored, after all this would not be important, since people like us (and if this series were really real, I might not be in that "us"). You will not be alive, and the series is not about survival, it's about about terror, however psychological it is, not visual. And if you were really interested in the film industry, you would have realized that the focus of the series has not been this for a long time, and that this is one of, if not the best season to date.
