    One Of The Best Episodes Of Television i have ever witnessed !

    I Am in Awe of this Episode, this is some of the best Television i have ever seen !

    I truly find few words for this !

    Nothing can be better than this.

    Perfect, awesome, surprising and everything that a episode needs to be. I am so excited to see how they fly in the last episode of this first season of epic series. How they created the title is also interesting to notice "A God Walks Into A Bar" or "A God Walks Into Abar". Everything was perfect in this episode and I would have given it 1billion stars if there were any. That paradox was really a nice move in this story.

    "This is the moment..."

    ... when the series gets really exiting and fantastic.

    This episode was the best so far. Everything was put in to right place. The actors were great, the music was great, the sights wore fabulous and the whole god dam series is great.

    This could be the next Breaking Bad.

    This will go in History

    Even if they go back in time and try to make this episode again, they can't. Simply brilliant. Pure stroke of genius. Can't get enough of this. Still in awe

    Holy CRAP! - Stay for the end credits

    I have to admit, I was a bit on the fence when the show first came out but the last few weeks have really won me over but this cemented things. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

    • Quotes

      Jon: I sought to create a kind of life that was superior to the life here on Earth. Kinder, gentler. Beings who are designed to care for others instead of themselves. And I did it, Adrian. I did it on Europa.
