Greetings, nerds! The dynamic duo is back this week with a new podcast!
We dive into the Primetime Emmys, celebrating "Shogun" for its historic 18 awards sweep and "The Bear" for breaking its own record with season two. We speculate on the potential award darlings for the 2025 Emmys. Sarah discusses her mixed feelings about the new Netflix show "The Perfect Couple," starring Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning. Despite the hype, Sarah finds it to be an average murder mystery with unremarkable characters. We then focus on upcoming shows like "Agatha All Along" and "The Penguin," sharing our cautious optimism and mixed reviews from early viewers. (0:00)
In our deep dive, we break down episodes five and six of "Supacell." We discuss the intense character developments, the show's handling of real-world issues like sickle cell anemia, and the powerful yet unsettling scenes that left us with many questions. We wrap up by discussing the season finale of "Supacell," its strong character arcs, and the intriguing cliffhanger that sets up season two. (9:45)

>> Sarah : Greetings, nerds this is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont, and with me, as
1
00:00:14.556 --> 00:00:17.500
always, is our mister producer, Will Polk. How are you doing tonight,
2
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:18.100
will?
3
00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:20.780
>> Will: Doing much better. How are you doing this evening?
4
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.560
>> Sarah : I'm doing good.
5
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.360
You certainly have had a week.
6
00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:29.556
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. When we came back from our summer
7
00:00:29.588 --> 00:00:32.556
hiatus, Sarah shared her Covid story,
8
00:00:32.628 --> 00:00:35.388
and then I, got. Had my.
9
00:00:35.444 --> 00:00:38.266
My Covid experience, this past week,
10
00:00:38.298 --> 00:00:40.820
so that's why we're recording it a little later this week. But,
11
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:44.000
yeah, and the funny thing about it, I was going to go get my shot,
12
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:46.476
and I test positive the day before.
13
00:00:46.668 --> 00:00:49.628
>> Sarah : The irony. The irony of it all.
14
00:00:49.764 --> 00:00:50.480
>> Will: Yeah.
15
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:54.882
>> Sarah : Yeah. Well, I'm glad you were feeling better.
16
00:00:55.036 --> 00:00:55.350
>> Will: Yep.
17
00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:58.220
>> Sarah : I did. We. I did see
18
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.456
everything that went on this weekend about the
19
00:01:01.488 --> 00:01:02.096
Emmys.
20
00:01:02.248 --> 00:01:02.900
>> Will: Yep.
21
00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:05.374
>> Sarah : and congrats to all of the winners,
22
00:01:05.542 --> 00:01:08.410
specifically. Shogun just took home
23
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:09.530
everything.
24
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:12.446
>> Will: Yeah. It was like 18 awards
25
00:01:12.518 --> 00:01:15.054
total. Yeah, yeah. It was like history
26
00:01:15.142 --> 00:01:15.654
setting.
27
00:01:15.742 --> 00:01:18.086
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Record
28
00:01:18.158 --> 00:01:20.786
setting sweep. And then the
29
00:01:20.818 --> 00:01:23.570
Bears season two specifically picked
30
00:01:23.610 --> 00:01:26.586
up a lot of awards as well, which
31
00:01:26.738 --> 00:01:28.186
was not surprised by.
32
00:01:28.258 --> 00:01:30.266
>> Will: Yeah, I think they broke their own record. Yeah.
33
00:01:30.338 --> 00:01:33.090
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. I was not surprised by
34
00:01:33.130 --> 00:01:35.830
that. It will be interesting to see,
35
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:39.730
what happens next year with, the season three.
36
00:01:39.850 --> 00:01:42.402
I don't. I don't expect, but I
37
00:01:42.466 --> 00:01:45.340
also, you know, sometimes the award
38
00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:48.310
shows, they have different.
39
00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:52.450
They perceive things differently,
40
00:01:52.610 --> 00:01:54.750
and, like,
41
00:01:55.490 --> 00:01:58.202
I'm sorry, there's not a lot of
42
00:01:58.226 --> 00:02:00.150
competition going on either.
43
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:03.826
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I haven't watched hacks.
44
00:02:03.858 --> 00:02:06.818
I guess hacks actually ended up winning best comedy instead of the
45
00:02:06.834 --> 00:02:09.500
bear, but, But, yeah, I guess maybe
46
00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:12.210
that'll be the show that will, become the darling,
47
00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:15.318
for the, 2025
48
00:02:15.494 --> 00:02:18.160
Emmys, which will be, I guess, shows that aired between
49
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:22.236
June 1 of 2024
50
00:02:22.308 --> 00:02:24.720
and, I guess may m 31st of 2025.
51
00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:26.588
>> Sarah : Okay. Okay.
52
00:02:26.724 --> 00:02:27.440
>> Will: Yeah.
53
00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:30.494
>> Sarah : I did watch, the perfect
54
00:02:30.542 --> 00:02:32.456
couple. Have you heard about this show?
55
00:02:32.598 --> 00:02:33.600
>> Will: I have not.
56
00:02:34.060 --> 00:02:36.924
>> Sarah : It was for about a week because I think it's only
57
00:02:36.972 --> 00:02:39.508
been on Netflix for about two weeks now, maybe three.
58
00:02:39.564 --> 00:02:40.212
>> Will: Okay. Okay.
59
00:02:40.236 --> 00:02:43.188
>> Sarah : But I kept hearing that people say things,
60
00:02:43.244 --> 00:02:45.716
and then I found out it was six episodes, and I'm like,
61
00:02:45.748 --> 00:02:48.400
okay, I do say,
62
00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:51.996
I don't understand. I
63
00:02:52.148 --> 00:02:54.760
there. I don't know if it's me
64
00:02:55.260 --> 00:02:58.100
or if people just hype me up, but
65
00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:00.972
I'm just. I'm watching this, and it's fine.
66
00:03:01.036 --> 00:03:03.960
I mean, Cole Kidman doesn't sign on a project
67
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:06.700
for nothing, so. She was there.
68
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.528
Yeah. Yeah, it's that one.
69
00:03:08.624 --> 00:03:09.392
>> Will: Okay.
70
00:03:09.576 --> 00:03:12.428
>> Sarah : Dakota, fanning too in there as
71
00:03:12.452 --> 00:03:12.886
well.
72
00:03:15.666 --> 00:03:17.722
Shiver, love shiver.
73
00:03:17.874 --> 00:03:18.606
>> Will: Yeah.
74
00:03:20.646 --> 00:03:23.186
>> Sarah : and there. It's. It's fun,
75
00:03:23.846 --> 00:03:26.230
it's fine. It's a murder mystery.
76
00:03:26.398 --> 00:03:28.596
Like, who killed this person
77
00:03:29.056 --> 00:03:31.568
night before a wedding?
78
00:03:31.752 --> 00:03:34.648
And then money and bribery,
79
00:03:34.712 --> 00:03:37.326
all of that's involved. it just.
80
00:03:38.946 --> 00:03:41.906
It just. I don't understand why
81
00:03:41.946 --> 00:03:44.682
people were, like, so addicted to
82
00:03:44.714 --> 00:03:47.402
this. I don't get it. To me, it's
83
00:03:47.434 --> 00:03:49.406
just an average,
84
00:03:49.826 --> 00:03:52.348
average murder mystery show.
85
00:03:52.482 --> 00:03:55.296
Like, you've Scene it 20 times before. They
86
00:03:55.336 --> 00:03:58.272
didn't really do anything that spectacular. The
87
00:03:58.304 --> 00:04:00.816
characters are honestly not that
88
00:04:00.856 --> 00:04:03.810
interesting. and there's not a lot of
89
00:04:03.858 --> 00:04:06.650
depth to them. Ah. So
90
00:04:06.778 --> 00:04:09.236
I just, But I finished it and.
91
00:04:10.016 --> 00:04:11.556
Yeah, I just.
92
00:04:13.096 --> 00:04:14.516
And I mean,
93
00:04:16.616 --> 00:04:19.192
I don't know what it is, but I feel like
94
00:04:19.264 --> 00:04:22.056
people just. I get it in my head
95
00:04:22.096 --> 00:04:24.964
that this is supposed be the next best
96
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:27.452
thing and. And it never
97
00:04:27.524 --> 00:04:28.136
is.
98
00:04:32.516 --> 00:04:35.236
And it'll be interesting because this week, we
99
00:04:35.276 --> 00:04:38.016
got to talk about next week.
100
00:04:37.966 --> 00:04:40.782
Agatha long and the penguin. So I'm like,
101
00:04:40.822 --> 00:04:43.238
oh, God, I don't know what's going on.
102
00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:44.962
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I've
103
00:04:46.302 --> 00:04:49.278
Scene some commentary on Agatha. I think. I think
104
00:04:49.310 --> 00:04:51.618
people are. I've Scene some
105
00:04:51.650 --> 00:04:54.362
mixed. Mixed. Mostly
106
00:04:54.402 --> 00:04:57.018
positive, but I have some. I've Scene some. Some
107
00:04:57.130 --> 00:04:59.502
lukewarm response as well.
108
00:05:00.082 --> 00:05:01.542
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah,
109
00:05:02.722 --> 00:05:05.618
I try. I'm trying not to pay attention
110
00:05:05.690 --> 00:05:08.650
to any of it, honestly, about either
111
00:05:08.706 --> 00:05:11.314
of the show. I saw a thumbnail about the
112
00:05:11.338 --> 00:05:14.042
penguin where. Which made me raise an eyebrow.
113
00:05:14.202 --> 00:05:17.058
So I'm not. I'm not sure. And the
114
00:05:17.090 --> 00:05:20.070
same with the joker, Joker two coming up in
115
00:05:20.086 --> 00:05:23.070
a few weeks as well. Like, there's a lot of mixed
116
00:05:23.126 --> 00:05:25.846
things happening. I'm like, I don't
117
00:05:25.894 --> 00:05:26.758
need this.
118
00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:29.242
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, well, just.
119
00:05:29.622 --> 00:05:32.514
Yeah, same, same. yeah, I'm like, I'm kind
120
00:05:32.546 --> 00:05:35.450
of, you know, I knew whenever I was sick, I think I texted
121
00:05:35.474 --> 00:05:38.432
you, I was just like, And maybe I was like, I
122
00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:41.440
don't know if it's the illness beginner, if it's just me, or if it's just
123
00:05:41.544 --> 00:05:44.472
where I am with. With things in the genre
124
00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:47.320
right now. But I was like, are you excited about Agatha
125
00:05:47.384 --> 00:05:50.330
or the penguin? because I think I said I was more
126
00:05:50.354 --> 00:05:52.210
excited for penguin than Agatha, but.
127
00:05:52.314 --> 00:05:54.858
>> Sarah : Yeah, but you've been saying that since. I don't know.
128
00:05:54.898 --> 00:05:57.650
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. So I guess. Okay, good. So it wasn't a
129
00:05:57.674 --> 00:05:58.568
Covid induced,
130
00:05:58.918 --> 00:06:01.102
>> Sarah : No, no. Yeah.
131
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:04.138
>> Will: You know, your brain. Covid brain will make you do funny things. So,
132
00:06:05.418 --> 00:06:08.314
>> Sarah : Well, the way you said it, like, it was
133
00:06:08.346 --> 00:06:10.714
the first time you had ever expressed that
134
00:06:10.746 --> 00:06:11.466
opinion.
135
00:06:11.602 --> 00:06:12.662
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.
136
00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:15.718
>> Sarah : Like, I said, I forgot you. Information
137
00:06:15.878 --> 00:06:16.854
for any.
138
00:06:17.046 --> 00:06:19.846
>> Will: Like, I said, I. For. Yeah, like I said, Covid brain, you know, you
139
00:06:19.862 --> 00:06:22.818
forget stuff I couldn't remember. M so,
140
00:06:23.698 --> 00:06:25.918
Yeah, but, But I will. But
141
00:06:26.938 --> 00:06:29.814
if you're listening to us, we're, recording on a Thursday.
142
00:06:29.918 --> 00:06:32.806
So the Penguin premieres actually tonight.
143
00:06:32.934 --> 00:06:35.924
And, And then. And I think they'll rear. It'll
144
00:06:36.028 --> 00:06:38.752
re air again on Sunday. But then,
145
00:06:39.592 --> 00:06:42.218
moving forward, after the premiere this week, it will
146
00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:45.004
air every Sunday night, at, I think, the 09:00
147
00:06:45.028 --> 00:06:46.112
timeframe. So.
148
00:06:46.732 --> 00:06:49.188
>> Sarah : So the premiere episode drops
149
00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:52.068
tonight, only to be rear re aired
150
00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:54.940
on Sunday, only then to that
151
00:06:54.996 --> 00:06:57.812
become its regular schedule for the rest of the
152
00:06:57.892 --> 00:06:58.444
season.
153
00:06:58.588 --> 00:07:00.060
>> Will: Yep. Yep. Correct.
154
00:07:00.156 --> 00:07:01.872
>> Sarah : Okay. Yeah,
155
00:07:02.812 --> 00:07:04.912
I don't like,
156
00:07:05.202 --> 00:07:08.038
Oh, that just
157
00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:10.758
reminds me about a
158
00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:13.762
grievance. I have definitely aired on this podcast
159
00:07:14.302 --> 00:07:16.782
in the previous months. Netflix,
160
00:07:17.304 --> 00:07:19.984
is whole. Let's drop half the season,
161
00:07:20.088 --> 00:07:23.032
have people wait two months only or a
162
00:07:23.072 --> 00:07:25.888
month only to drop the next half. Okay.
163
00:07:25.960 --> 00:07:28.536
Emily in Paris. The second half of the season
164
00:07:28.624 --> 00:07:31.514
dropped far superior than
165
00:07:31.538 --> 00:07:34.200
the first staff. even though. Even
166
00:07:34.256 --> 00:07:37.144
though I'm going to tell you people who have been watching
167
00:07:37.248 --> 00:07:40.128
Emily in Paris, I don't
168
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.432
know what the actor who plays
169
00:07:42.472 --> 00:07:45.280
Gabrielle did, but he must have pissed off a
170
00:07:45.296 --> 00:07:48.232
writer, because I have never not liked
171
00:07:48.272 --> 00:07:50.480
that character so much as in
172
00:07:50.616 --> 00:07:52.452
this season.
173
00:07:53.072 --> 00:07:55.976
And I am going to be so upset when
174
00:07:56.104 --> 00:07:58.212
Emily and Gabrielle end up together.
175
00:07:59.792 --> 00:08:01.962
I'm going to be Madden,
176
00:08:02.572 --> 00:08:05.412
because it's just so classic. Like,
177
00:08:05.492 --> 00:08:07.988
they finally get together only to be ripped
178
00:08:08.020 --> 00:08:10.956
apart. But it's also not
179
00:08:11.084 --> 00:08:13.684
like, the understanding they.
180
00:08:13.828 --> 00:08:16.432
They totally made him into a jackass.
181
00:08:17.492 --> 00:08:20.332
I'm like, man. And there's this
182
00:08:20.372 --> 00:08:23.212
other guy, and I'm like, oh, he's definitely a lot
183
00:08:23.252 --> 00:08:26.068
cooler. So I
184
00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:28.772
just. I mean, I don't.
185
00:08:29.112 --> 00:08:31.752
Emily in Paris should not have been split up in two
186
00:08:31.792 --> 00:08:34.576
parts. Granted,
187
00:08:34.664 --> 00:08:37.336
I don't know if I would have been as high on the
188
00:08:37.384 --> 00:08:40.240
second half had I had to also, like,
189
00:08:40.376 --> 00:08:42.912
concurrently, suffer through or
190
00:08:43.072 --> 00:08:46.040
not concurrently, but have watched the whole
191
00:08:46.096 --> 00:08:48.652
thing. But I'm not sure. I mean,
192
00:08:49.672 --> 00:08:50.452
maybe.
193
00:08:51.832 --> 00:08:54.726
>> Will: Maybe it will work. you know, maybe, you know something? As we
194
00:08:54.814 --> 00:08:57.694
mentioned this before, sometimes it actually works in the
195
00:08:57.718 --> 00:09:00.120
show's favor. Just break them up. Whereas
196
00:09:00.216 --> 00:09:03.166
others. It, would just been better just to just drop them all at
197
00:09:03.190 --> 00:09:03.758
once.
198
00:09:03.926 --> 00:09:06.206
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. I. Emily in
199
00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:09.070
Paris, I will die on this hill and
200
00:09:09.102 --> 00:09:12.006
say it's a binge. It's,
201
00:09:12.150 --> 00:09:15.038
like, straight through. No need. Does not. It's not
202
00:09:15.086 --> 00:09:17.394
complicated what's going on in that show.
203
00:09:18.414 --> 00:09:21.394
It's not intense. Okay. Okay.
204
00:09:21.504 --> 00:09:24.446
Supacell Supacell is a little bit more intense.
205
00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:25.138
>> Will: Yeah.
206
00:09:25.226 --> 00:09:28.090
>> Sarah : I don't. I don't know why
207
00:09:28.162 --> 00:09:30.014
we only get six episodes.
208
00:09:30.894 --> 00:09:33.774
And I definitely think I would have enjoyed this season
209
00:09:33.854 --> 00:09:36.854
as a whole if we had not watched
210
00:09:36.894 --> 00:09:39.678
it like two episodes at a time. I
211
00:09:39.686 --> 00:09:42.440
don't. I didn't need the break, to break it
212
00:09:42.472 --> 00:09:45.334
up to, because it's. It's more
213
00:09:45.374 --> 00:09:48.190
intense. It's not that complicated of what's
214
00:09:48.222 --> 00:09:51.160
going on. but I also
215
00:09:51.232 --> 00:09:54.056
just think that. And I understand why.
216
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.192
Money, I mean, it's a new ip, all of that
217
00:09:57.248 --> 00:10:00.024
stuff, so. But it was just a
218
00:10:00.064 --> 00:10:02.644
really, really
219
00:10:03.064 --> 00:10:06.000
short season only for it to
220
00:10:06.032 --> 00:10:08.816
like, just get started right when it ends.
221
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.432
>> Will: Yeah.
222
00:10:09.488 --> 00:10:10.964
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah.
223
00:10:11.384 --> 00:10:13.272
>> Will: For sure. For sure. Yeah. The ending.
224
00:10:13.758 --> 00:10:16.750
>> Will: So I. You know, I actually. I'm actually glad we broke
225
00:10:16.774 --> 00:10:19.702
it up, because I don't. What he said. I
226
00:10:19.718 --> 00:10:22.574
mean, yes, as far as the premise, it is pretty
227
00:10:22.614 --> 00:10:24.968
straightforward, as far with
228
00:10:25.136 --> 00:10:28.040
the genre storyline and
229
00:10:28.072 --> 00:10:31.048
everything. But for me, I like the fact that
230
00:10:31.056 --> 00:10:34.004
we broke it up because it gave me a chance to really
231
00:10:34.624 --> 00:10:37.392
breathe and really get. To get
232
00:10:37.408 --> 00:10:40.368
to know these characters because, you know, each
233
00:10:40.416 --> 00:10:41.764
episode was.
234
00:10:43.304 --> 00:10:46.144
Except for the final episode, you know, it was
235
00:10:46.224 --> 00:10:49.216
named after one of the principal five people
236
00:10:49.280 --> 00:10:51.324
who make up the. Make up the team.
237
00:10:51.904 --> 00:10:54.632
And I think what for
238
00:10:54.728 --> 00:10:57.354
me, what I really liked about this, about this
239
00:10:57.394 --> 00:11:00.330
season was getting to know these characters.
240
00:11:00.402 --> 00:11:03.266
Getting to know. Yes. They, you know,
241
00:11:03.330 --> 00:11:06.100
obviously learn it going along with
242
00:11:06.132 --> 00:11:08.924
them on the journey as far as exploring their
243
00:11:08.964 --> 00:11:11.764
powers, but. But also getting. But
244
00:11:11.844 --> 00:11:14.612
for me, what really helped me, like, enjoy
245
00:11:14.668 --> 00:11:17.484
this series so much was just getting to know these
246
00:11:17.564 --> 00:11:20.180
characters as people. And so
247
00:11:20.292 --> 00:11:23.172
whenever we do get the finale
248
00:11:23.308 --> 00:11:25.960
of, the season, you
249
00:11:25.976 --> 00:11:28.824
know, I'm invested in them so that
250
00:11:28.928 --> 00:11:31.744
whenever the events
251
00:11:31.808 --> 00:11:34.132
all play out as they. As they do,
252
00:11:34.752 --> 00:11:37.416
I'm invested in what happens to them.
253
00:11:37.504 --> 00:11:40.132
So to me, that was what
254
00:11:40.432 --> 00:11:43.322
I, really liked about this season and breaking it
255
00:11:43.338 --> 00:11:45.454
up and going it two at a time.
256
00:11:46.474 --> 00:11:49.264
>> Sarah : Right, right. so that
257
00:11:49.304 --> 00:11:52.016
brings us to episode five, Rodney.
258
00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:55.024
When spud ends up in the hospital, Rodney has a change of
259
00:11:55.064 --> 00:11:58.000
heart. Michael decides to tell Deon everything, but first he has
260
00:11:58.032 --> 00:11:59.164
to find the others.
261
00:11:59.684 --> 00:12:02.436
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, we pick up,
262
00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:05.482
right, right there at the crazy's
263
00:12:05.658 --> 00:12:08.428
drug, lab, and
264
00:12:08.848 --> 00:12:11.840
all may have ensues after taser shoots the
265
00:12:11.864 --> 00:12:14.816
gun. Yep. Yeah. Yeah,
266
00:12:14.872 --> 00:12:17.664
yeah, yeah. Because all our. All our
267
00:12:17.736 --> 00:12:20.656
heroes are all there together except
268
00:12:20.672 --> 00:12:23.600
for Michael because, you know, at the end of. Yeah, because
269
00:12:23.624 --> 00:12:26.330
he's, you know, he got pulled away because his mom's and
270
00:12:26.424 --> 00:12:29.246
had had an attack. So. Sickle
271
00:12:29.262 --> 00:12:32.236
cell attack. So, so. But we
272
00:12:32.252 --> 00:12:34.716
know we get the whole. The whole. The whole thing sort
273
00:12:34.732 --> 00:12:37.534
of breaks down. and
274
00:12:37.566 --> 00:12:40.500
then, you know, Andre steals the safe.
275
00:12:40.604 --> 00:12:43.580
Yep. Andre steals the safe. Everybody, you
276
00:12:43.604 --> 00:12:46.364
know, gets the sisters managed to get out.
277
00:12:46.436 --> 00:12:49.336
And, And then Rodney goes, you know, goes
278
00:12:49.352 --> 00:12:51.108
to go to the hospital, visits bud.
279
00:12:51.648 --> 00:12:54.496
>> Sarah : Yep. And then only
280
00:12:54.552 --> 00:12:57.280
to leave and then to go visit his mom.
281
00:12:57.464 --> 00:13:00.176
So we find out a little insight into his home
282
00:13:00.232 --> 00:13:03.178
life, which. Or lack thereof, home life,
283
00:13:03.128 --> 00:13:05.870
considering his stepdad, appears to be a
284
00:13:05.886 --> 00:13:08.140
racist. yeah.
285
00:13:08.196 --> 00:13:11.148
>> Will: Yeah. I mean, that's where. And that really gets to my point about, like, getting to know
286
00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:14.012
these characters, because we. We saw,
287
00:13:14.952 --> 00:13:17.536
you know, he was a light skinned brother, and we already
288
00:13:17.584 --> 00:13:20.480
figured, you know, more likely than not, he was biracial. But, you know, we do
289
00:13:20.496 --> 00:13:23.072
get confirmation of that. And then it's the whole
290
00:13:23.112 --> 00:13:25.816
dynamic with his mother. And, you know, she.
291
00:13:25.984 --> 00:13:28.944
You know, he. He really is trying to reach out to her. And we learned
292
00:13:28.968 --> 00:13:31.752
that he left home 16 to go live in hostel because
293
00:13:31.832 --> 00:13:34.012
of his stepfather and stuff. And.
294
00:13:34.592 --> 00:13:37.366
And, you know, I wish we had learned. They did.
295
00:13:37.454 --> 00:13:40.078
I don't think they. Did they mention anything about his sexual father
296
00:13:40.190 --> 00:13:42.792
or if they were to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
297
00:13:43.362 --> 00:13:46.254
which, I mean, clearly, you know, that's where obviously, the sickle. Where
298
00:13:46.278 --> 00:13:48.944
he got the sickle cell gene, you know, from his
299
00:13:48.968 --> 00:13:51.950
father. M but, yeah, it
300
00:13:51.966 --> 00:13:54.854
was just, you know, really, you know,
301
00:13:54.918 --> 00:13:57.798
Roddy was just at his wits end because his best friend is, like,
302
00:13:57.830 --> 00:14:00.766
laid up, and, you know, she was, you know,
303
00:14:00.814 --> 00:14:03.638
he was trying to get a, you know,
304
00:14:03.750 --> 00:14:06.194
little lifeline, and she just. Just wouldn't do
305
00:14:06.218 --> 00:14:06.782
it.
306
00:14:07.522 --> 00:14:10.420
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. and then he tries to get a
307
00:14:10.436 --> 00:14:13.012
lifeline from Michael, and Michael has other
308
00:14:13.052 --> 00:14:13.832
priorities.
309
00:14:16.092 --> 00:14:19.032
So I want to jump and,
310
00:14:19.412 --> 00:14:22.164
talk about something
311
00:14:22.228 --> 00:14:25.180
that caught me off guard and I found very
312
00:14:25.236 --> 00:14:26.712
unsettling. And
313
00:14:28.052 --> 00:14:30.878
reflecting on it now, because I
314
00:14:30.910 --> 00:14:33.762
remember how I felt in the moment watching it.
315
00:14:34.042 --> 00:14:36.842
it's just. It's. It's the scene where Taser,
316
00:14:37.832 --> 00:14:40.652
and crew confront a girl
317
00:14:40.732 --> 00:14:42.844
who we met in the first episode.
318
00:14:42.988 --> 00:14:43.380
>> Will: Yeah.
319
00:14:43.436 --> 00:14:46.316
>> Sarah : And they. They pieced together that she set
320
00:14:46.364 --> 00:14:49.244
them up for that. That brawl that they had
321
00:14:49.268 --> 00:14:52.188
with the sixers, and. And
322
00:14:52.300 --> 00:14:54.780
everyone's just talking, and then out of nowhere,
323
00:14:54.836 --> 00:14:57.636
Taser just. Just beats the living
324
00:14:57.684 --> 00:14:58.500
shit out of her.
325
00:14:58.556 --> 00:14:59.342
>> Will: I. Yeah.
326
00:15:03.502 --> 00:15:06.478
>> Sarah : so there's a few things that's going on in my
327
00:15:06.510 --> 00:15:09.252
mind, because I do.
328
00:15:09.872 --> 00:15:12.616
Over the years, especially as we watched this
329
00:15:12.664 --> 00:15:15.344
genre, there has been male and
330
00:15:15.368 --> 00:15:18.144
female superheroes, and it's always like, oh, the
331
00:15:18.168 --> 00:15:21.120
girls can only fight the girls, and then the
332
00:15:21.136 --> 00:15:23.940
boys can only fight the boys. in this
333
00:15:23.996 --> 00:15:26.956
scene, though, the girl didn't even have powers.
334
00:15:27.084 --> 00:15:30.068
And so I don't know if that's why it even was
335
00:15:30.140 --> 00:15:32.788
more unsettling. But there's
336
00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:34.872
just something about
337
00:15:36.932 --> 00:15:39.180
that nature. And then there's another
338
00:15:39.276 --> 00:15:41.784
scene, between crazy and
339
00:15:41.808 --> 00:15:44.720
Charlene m. It doesn't go that
340
00:15:44.776 --> 00:15:47.744
far, but it's like, it's also a
341
00:15:47.768 --> 00:15:50.684
bit like, okay, I don't. We don't need to
342
00:15:50.708 --> 00:15:53.508
linger here. Don't
343
00:15:53.540 --> 00:15:56.478
need to linger. but this one in particular,
344
00:15:56.590 --> 00:15:59.282
because I did feel like it went on a long time.
345
00:15:59.902 --> 00:16:00.772
I just.
346
00:16:04.712 --> 00:16:07.672
I guess I have more questions than I
347
00:16:07.712 --> 00:16:10.464
do even reaction to it. I
348
00:16:10.488 --> 00:16:13.248
just. I want to understand why the
349
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:15.052
writers chose to do that.
350
00:16:15.792 --> 00:16:18.080
especially because for me, as a
351
00:16:18.096 --> 00:16:20.812
viewer, I find it hard
352
00:16:21.152 --> 00:16:23.344
to forget a scene like that,
353
00:16:23.488 --> 00:16:25.864
especially involving a
354
00:16:25.928 --> 00:16:28.872
character who I know ultimately should be a
355
00:16:28.912 --> 00:16:29.656
hero.
356
00:16:29.824 --> 00:16:30.424
>> Will: Yeah.
357
00:16:30.528 --> 00:16:33.408
>> Sarah : Like, okay, you got some redemption to do because that
358
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.612
was messed up.
359
00:16:35.232 --> 00:16:37.932
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, that. Yeah,
360
00:16:39.392 --> 00:16:41.958
that one was hard. That was a hard scene for me to watch, too.
361
00:16:42.030 --> 00:16:44.846
and because, I mean, Taser has
362
00:16:44.878 --> 00:16:47.294
always been pretty almost
363
00:16:47.342 --> 00:16:50.110
irredeemable. And to.
364
00:16:50.150 --> 00:16:52.806
To go and, and just
365
00:16:52.918 --> 00:16:55.662
assault a woman like that, I mean, it was just a straight up
366
00:16:55.686 --> 00:16:58.482
assault. yeah. And it was,
367
00:16:58.586 --> 00:17:01.226
you know, ah, I I know he's
368
00:17:01.258 --> 00:17:03.310
hurting. I know he
369
00:17:04.130 --> 00:17:04.870
is,
370
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.700
dealing with a lot with
371
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.360
pre, you know, with his grandmother being
372
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.272
assaulted by crazy and stuff. So I,
373
00:17:18.336 --> 00:17:21.104
you know, I don't know if he was trying. If he, you know, because she's
374
00:17:21.152 --> 00:17:23.640
like part of the crazy's gang, she's
375
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.136
weaker. I mean, there was just a lot of
376
00:17:26.168 --> 00:17:29.136
subtext in that and really get into some issues of
377
00:17:29.168 --> 00:17:32.074
domestic violence, quite frankly, that, You
378
00:17:32.098 --> 00:17:34.834
know, maybe the imbalance. Imbalance of
379
00:17:34.858 --> 00:17:36.722
power of,
380
00:17:38.182 --> 00:17:40.678
>> Sarah : Well, maybe, but I
381
00:17:40.750 --> 00:17:43.630
mean. I mean, is it domestic violence
382
00:17:43.686 --> 00:17:45.030
because they aren't together?
383
00:17:45.206 --> 00:17:48.162
>> Will: Well, no, but I mean, if. I guess more just the.
384
00:17:48.822 --> 00:17:51.694
No, not in a sense of a romantic relationship. But
385
00:17:51.718 --> 00:17:54.174
I do think, I mean, it was a power
386
00:17:54.238 --> 00:17:55.342
imbalance there.
387
00:17:55.382 --> 00:17:56.252
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah.
388
00:17:56.252 --> 00:17:58.422
>> Will: you know, not only man and woman, but also
389
00:17:59.162 --> 00:18:02.154
suit versus just a normal person.
390
00:18:02.338 --> 00:18:02.782
>> Sarah : Right.
391
00:18:02.782 --> 00:18:05.688
>> Will: and so I don't know if the. Right.
392
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.328
I don't know if rap man was trying to make a commentary about,
393
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.232
like, there's
394
00:18:11.272 --> 00:18:14.160
multiple injustices going on here. I don't know. I
395
00:18:14.176 --> 00:18:16.864
just. I was kind of. I was trying to figure out what
396
00:18:16.888 --> 00:18:19.760
was with that and also with what was going on with Charlene and
397
00:18:19.776 --> 00:18:20.532
crazy.
398
00:18:20.882 --> 00:18:23.738
>> Sarah : Yeah. Charlene and crazy. I actually. Even though
399
00:18:23.770 --> 00:18:26.754
I didn't. I didn't want to watch it, and
400
00:18:26.778 --> 00:18:29.466
I felt like it went on a bit too long. I also
401
00:18:29.514 --> 00:18:32.426
understood why they were doing that because that was already
402
00:18:32.554 --> 00:18:35.418
suggested before. I mean, to go back to your
403
00:18:35.450 --> 00:18:38.154
point, I never found Taser to be
404
00:18:38.218 --> 00:18:39.262
irredeemable,
405
00:18:41.682 --> 00:18:44.102
mainly because of his love for his grandma.
406
00:18:46.082 --> 00:18:49.078
But. But there was. He never did
407
00:18:49.110 --> 00:18:51.990
anything that I felt like,
408
00:18:52.046 --> 00:18:54.942
oh, this is a really bad guy. And then I watched that scene. I'm like,
409
00:18:54.982 --> 00:18:57.478
wait a second. What's. What?
410
00:18:57.670 --> 00:19:00.646
Huh? I don't. It just
411
00:19:00.694 --> 00:19:02.682
is very confusing to me.
412
00:19:03.522 --> 00:19:06.474
and. And I just.
413
00:19:06.538 --> 00:19:09.434
I felt like there should have
414
00:19:09.458 --> 00:19:12.050
been more context, like. Like,
415
00:19:12.106 --> 00:19:14.776
to. Part of the reason why it's
416
00:19:14.864 --> 00:19:17.808
unsettling is also just. It totally
417
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:20.728
goes out. Comes out of nowhere. Like, there was
418
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:23.632
no. Nothing that led
419
00:19:23.672 --> 00:19:26.552
you to believe that that was going to happen. I mean,
420
00:19:26.632 --> 00:19:29.448
arguably, the. You could go back to the
421
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.454
first episode and how he, He pulls out the
422
00:19:32.478 --> 00:19:34.910
gun and shoots. And shoots Michael.
423
00:19:35.046 --> 00:19:37.718
Right, right. But. But
424
00:19:37.830 --> 00:19:40.612
I. And so maybe. But then again,
425
00:19:40.692 --> 00:19:43.516
you also know that Michael has powers or will
426
00:19:43.564 --> 00:19:45.912
have powers like, you're.
427
00:19:47.372 --> 00:19:50.236
And maybe that's why it's still so.
428
00:19:50.364 --> 00:19:53.084
So, I don't know. I mean, you could be right about the power
429
00:19:53.228 --> 00:19:56.004
imbalance or reasoning, but that, like,
430
00:19:56.108 --> 00:19:59.052
my takeaway from this show
431
00:19:59.172 --> 00:20:01.964
almost is I would just want to understand more
432
00:20:02.028 --> 00:20:04.392
about what led to that decision.
433
00:20:05.072 --> 00:20:07.856
And in a weird way, it does
434
00:20:07.904 --> 00:20:10.012
make me curious to see
435
00:20:10.512 --> 00:20:13.256
how they fix that in the next
436
00:20:13.304 --> 00:20:16.224
season or how they make amends
437
00:20:16.288 --> 00:20:19.216
between the viewer and that, or,
438
00:20:19.304 --> 00:20:22.016
honestly, I say this all the time. Will they
439
00:20:22.064 --> 00:20:24.592
even acknowledge that that happened? Because
440
00:20:24.672 --> 00:20:27.224
writers are known to do
441
00:20:27.288 --> 00:20:30.024
something and it not go well with the
442
00:20:30.048 --> 00:20:32.920
viewers, and suddenly, like, we're never going to talk about it
443
00:20:32.936 --> 00:20:33.492
again.
444
00:20:33.792 --> 00:20:36.776
>> Will: I don't. You know, well, given. Given Crazy's Boyden,
445
00:20:36.854 --> 00:20:39.764
I mean, they were all like, dude,
446
00:20:39.868 --> 00:20:42.236
I mean, they. You know, I don't think they'll drop it.
447
00:20:42.324 --> 00:20:43.508
>> Sarah : You mean Taser?
448
00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:44.540
>> Will: Tasers?
449
00:20:44.676 --> 00:20:45.940
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, whenever.
450
00:20:45.996 --> 00:20:48.948
>> Will: Whenever. Yeah, whenever. Taser's boys were like, you never. Whenever
451
00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:51.828
he. Whenever they. Cause. Even to you being
452
00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:53.644
caught off guard. They were caught off guard.
453
00:20:53.748 --> 00:20:56.644
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, no, that was. That was very clear.
454
00:20:56.708 --> 00:20:59.420
They. They. And then they continued that
455
00:20:59.516 --> 00:21:02.404
while questioning, what? What. Why are
456
00:21:02.428 --> 00:21:05.284
we here staking out this old woman's house?
457
00:21:05.388 --> 00:21:08.004
Like, what are we gonna do
458
00:21:08.068 --> 00:21:10.652
here? So many questions. And
459
00:21:12.472 --> 00:21:15.304
I think, overall, Taser is not cut out
460
00:21:15.368 --> 00:21:17.172
for this position of power,
461
00:21:18.152 --> 00:21:21.048
in the gang life. He's made
462
00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:23.376
that abundantly clear over the past few
463
00:21:23.424 --> 00:21:26.142
episodes, with some of his decision making.
464
00:21:28.272 --> 00:21:30.252
but yeah, I think
465
00:21:31.992 --> 00:21:34.386
unfortunately for this
466
00:21:34.434 --> 00:21:37.256
episode, it's Rodney's episode. But that
467
00:21:37.304 --> 00:21:40.152
scene caught me so off guard that I was definitely paying
468
00:21:40.192 --> 00:21:43.112
more attention to what was going on with Taser
469
00:21:43.272 --> 00:21:46.226
and, Charlene than I was with Rodney.
470
00:21:46.394 --> 00:21:49.250
>> Will: Yeah. And also, yeah, and to, also to pick up
471
00:21:49.266 --> 00:21:52.210
with Charlene and with Sabrina. The
472
00:21:52.226 --> 00:21:55.178
juxtaposition of their situations in this episode
473
00:21:55.370 --> 00:21:57.970
because Sabrina finally, she's
474
00:21:58.026 --> 00:22:00.800
all, she's been doing her best to like
475
00:22:00.976 --> 00:22:03.784
work hard, do the right thing. And then of
476
00:22:03.808 --> 00:22:06.624
course, you know, because of her learning her, you know, her
477
00:22:06.648 --> 00:22:09.504
powers and, you know, causing her to be distracted and of
478
00:22:09.528 --> 00:22:12.384
course, you know, her. And also her domestic is her
479
00:22:12.408 --> 00:22:15.336
boyfriend cheating on her and her stuff. And then, you know,
480
00:22:15.384 --> 00:22:18.304
whenever she did, you know, she had that performance review, she was thinking
481
00:22:18.328 --> 00:22:21.320
she was getting there to get fired. And then actually, no, they
482
00:22:21.336 --> 00:22:22.960
were actually going to promote her to head nurse.
483
00:22:23.056 --> 00:22:25.932
>> Sarah : Because that, yeah,
484
00:22:26.552 --> 00:22:29.400
I was, I was glad that they inserted that
485
00:22:29.456 --> 00:22:32.040
scene and that it was all in her head about
486
00:22:32.096 --> 00:22:34.840
that. Yeah. And that she,
487
00:22:34.896 --> 00:22:37.368
she does, she, she needed to say
488
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.304
something sooner about like, I
489
00:22:40.328 --> 00:22:42.008
can't, I can't work today.
490
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:43.332
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.
491
00:22:44.232 --> 00:22:46.960
>> Sarah : I have my own disease. I need to
492
00:22:46.976 --> 00:22:49.832
figure out for the day. I need to take a sick day
493
00:22:49.992 --> 00:22:52.716
or something. And and then meanwhile,
494
00:22:52.844 --> 00:22:53.712
Michael,
495
00:22:55.252 --> 00:22:57.388
he. Classic
496
00:22:57.580 --> 00:23:00.556
drama and tension happening where he's
497
00:23:00.604 --> 00:23:03.132
gonna tell Dion. Dion is chasing
498
00:23:03.212 --> 00:23:06.204
down, more threads, especially
499
00:23:06.308 --> 00:23:09.028
involved with jasmine. and jasmine's
500
00:23:09.060 --> 00:23:11.644
parents are giving her some
501
00:23:11.668 --> 00:23:14.606
breadcrumbs to follow about what's really
502
00:23:14.654 --> 00:23:17.574
going on. and this all leads to
503
00:23:17.598 --> 00:23:20.574
Michael Trine almost being able to tell her the
504
00:23:20.598 --> 00:23:23.242
truth only for Rodney to interrupt and,
505
00:23:23.662 --> 00:23:26.294
and they gotta go. So very,
506
00:23:26.358 --> 00:23:28.304
very classic. classic.
507
00:23:28.368 --> 00:23:29.012
>> Will: Yeah.
508
00:23:29.712 --> 00:23:32.216
>> Sarah : Dramatic irony and tension building
509
00:23:32.304 --> 00:23:32.936
there.
510
00:23:33.104 --> 00:23:35.768
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure.
511
00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:38.778
But, you know, I liked, you know, but
512
00:23:38.810 --> 00:23:41.122
again, pulling all the threads together with
513
00:23:41.162 --> 00:23:44.082
Theon, you know, finding out more about what, what
514
00:23:44.138 --> 00:23:46.702
truly happened with Jasmine and, you know, and her
515
00:23:46.726 --> 00:23:49.586
father. Was it this episode or just the final episode
516
00:23:49.666 --> 00:23:50.738
where he called her?
517
00:23:52.342 --> 00:23:54.926
>> Sarah : I don't, I don't remember which one
518
00:23:55.014 --> 00:23:57.718
was. It was. And I want to say it's the second
519
00:23:57.790 --> 00:24:00.564
episode. But, but it
520
00:24:00.588 --> 00:24:03.476
could easily have been the first episode. I
521
00:24:03.484 --> 00:24:06.348
mean, these, these run, all the episodes run
522
00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:09.122
together at a smooth pace. And that's why
523
00:24:09.162 --> 00:24:11.954
I argue that they could be easily binged together.
524
00:24:12.098 --> 00:24:14.970
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, no, it was the second episode, I think, where. Because that's
525
00:24:14.986 --> 00:24:17.930
where they get, they learn about the tower, a town. But
526
00:24:17.946 --> 00:24:20.826
I think in this one I think they did. I think they just
527
00:24:20.874 --> 00:24:23.842
wanted Michael to go in there and take,
528
00:24:23.882 --> 00:24:26.808
you know, use his powers to, teleport her out, I think, is
529
00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:29.144
what. What they were. What the ask was
530
00:24:29.208 --> 00:24:32.080
whenever, Theon was.
531
00:24:32.136 --> 00:24:34.392
Was talking with him there, but,
532
00:24:35.412 --> 00:24:38.108
I don't remember. Yeah, okay.
533
00:24:38.260 --> 00:24:41.196
Okay. Yeah, that was. That was the. Whenever. That was the
534
00:24:41.204 --> 00:24:44.090
one pulling the threads together. and I
535
00:24:44.106 --> 00:24:46.626
think in episode five. And then episode six is where
536
00:24:46.674 --> 00:24:49.670
they, She learns about the, nose
537
00:24:49.686 --> 00:24:52.212
in this one. It wasn't this one. Cause. That's right. They, Yeah.
538
00:24:54.112 --> 00:24:57.000
I'm sorry. Well, again, they run together. I mean, they do run together. That's
539
00:24:57.016 --> 00:24:59.800
the. That's the benefit. And then at the detriment of, like, you
540
00:24:59.816 --> 00:25:02.792
know, whenever you binge it and all
541
00:25:02.832 --> 00:25:05.092
six at once or back to back.
542
00:25:06.832 --> 00:25:09.132
>> Sarah : Yeah, episode six.
543
00:25:11.002 --> 00:25:13.954
>> Will: well, no, we haven't even talked about Andre and what happens with
544
00:25:13.978 --> 00:25:16.714
him before. We, you know, we got to set that up to make.
545
00:25:16.858 --> 00:25:19.762
What happened. What happens to him in episode six.
546
00:25:21.042 --> 00:25:24.018
I mean, basically, just the fact that. I mean, I guess the quick thing is
547
00:25:24.090 --> 00:25:27.072
he got the safe, learn said it's empty,
548
00:25:27.612 --> 00:25:30.586
and, I guess he gets beat up. You
549
00:25:30.594 --> 00:25:33.142
know, I guess he wants to find out,
550
00:25:34.962 --> 00:25:37.702
wants to meet up with Michael and the rest of them, but
551
00:25:38.082 --> 00:25:41.044
on the way, the agent, like, runs into him, and, he gets
552
00:25:41.068 --> 00:25:43.676
beat up and taken away in the portal.
553
00:25:43.844 --> 00:25:46.844
>> Sarah : Yeah, that's right. That's right. And they. In
554
00:25:46.868 --> 00:25:49.206
this episode, we get the seed
555
00:25:49.254 --> 00:25:51.998
planted that the more they use
556
00:25:52.030 --> 00:25:54.942
their powers, the more energy gets
557
00:25:54.982 --> 00:25:57.662
depleted. because Andre, for most of this
558
00:25:57.702 --> 00:26:00.694
episode, is just taking a nap. Yeah, taking a
559
00:26:00.718 --> 00:26:03.602
nap, which, of course, leads to his son.
560
00:26:03.772 --> 00:26:06.750
M leads to
561
00:26:06.766 --> 00:26:09.662
his son further joining the gang
562
00:26:09.742 --> 00:26:12.736
crew, as well, much to his demise. So.
563
00:26:12.864 --> 00:26:15.668
So, yeah, yeah, we get. We get that scene. But
564
00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:18.684
you're right. We. We see Andre get taken
565
00:26:18.788 --> 00:26:21.674
and, Taser almost get taken, except
566
00:26:21.778 --> 00:26:24.530
Jasmine, Michael and Rodney stop them. All
567
00:26:24.546 --> 00:26:27.332
right. episode six, Supacell. Taser and Sabrina both
568
00:26:27.372 --> 00:26:30.156
search for crazy. Dion follows up on information
569
00:26:30.244 --> 00:26:33.188
about the missing girl. With powers pushed beyond their limit,
570
00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:35.912
the five must unite to save the ones they love.
571
00:26:39.512 --> 00:26:42.368
yeah, so. So a lot of this episode
572
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.328
is spent in Jasmine's house. Not
573
00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:46.292
Jasmine's house.
574
00:26:46.292 --> 00:26:47.046
>> Will: Sabrina's house.
575
00:26:47.134 --> 00:26:48.922
>> Sarah : Sabrina's house, yeah.
576
00:26:50.782 --> 00:26:50.912
>> Will: Which,
577
00:26:51.508 --> 00:26:54.364
>> Sarah : And. And we just got Michael teleporting all over the
578
00:26:54.388 --> 00:26:55.432
place. Just
579
00:26:56.372 --> 00:26:59.106
teleported. I do think that this
580
00:26:59.154 --> 00:27:01.938
was probably the best episode of the.
581
00:27:02.050 --> 00:27:04.898
Of the show. I think it got stronger
582
00:27:05.010 --> 00:27:06.210
as it went on.
583
00:27:06.346 --> 00:27:07.112
>> Will: It did.
584
00:27:07.112 --> 00:27:10.036
>> Sarah : and this is what we really wanted to see, the whole time, we really
585
00:27:10.084 --> 00:27:13.058
wanted to see the five together. we
586
00:27:13.090 --> 00:27:15.782
wanted to understand more about
587
00:27:16.402 --> 00:27:19.102
their nemesis and what was happening.
588
00:27:19.672 --> 00:27:22.132
a lot of the things we already
589
00:27:22.832 --> 00:27:25.812
was very clear. I always love
590
00:27:25.852 --> 00:27:28.712
that. Like, it's pretty obvious
591
00:27:29.412 --> 00:27:31.788
everyone has a parent who has sickle
592
00:27:31.820 --> 00:27:32.460
cell.
593
00:27:32.596 --> 00:27:33.220
>> Will: Yep.
594
00:27:33.356 --> 00:27:36.236
>> Sarah : But no, no, no. We still have to allow the bad
595
00:27:36.284 --> 00:27:38.512
guy to explain this to us.
596
00:27:39.162 --> 00:27:41.990
which we do learn more about them. We get.
597
00:27:42.046 --> 00:27:44.630
We get ray, and at the end, we get
598
00:27:44.686 --> 00:27:47.342
Victoria, who we have met
599
00:27:47.382 --> 00:27:50.198
before. but she's the real person behind the
600
00:27:50.230 --> 00:27:51.044
foundation.
601
00:27:51.198 --> 00:27:51.456
>> Will: Mm
602
00:27:54.304 --> 00:27:56.084
>> Sarah : and, yeah, I.
603
00:27:57.064 --> 00:27:59.968
Unless there's anything, I just really
604
00:28:00.016 --> 00:28:02.648
just want to jump down to the big
605
00:28:02.696 --> 00:28:05.432
fight, because, I mean,
606
00:28:05.568 --> 00:28:08.536
it's actually. No, there is one scene that
607
00:28:08.560 --> 00:28:11.496
I do have some. Some things I want to say about. But.
608
00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:12.968
What were you gonna say?
609
00:28:13.136 --> 00:28:15.964
>> Will: No, I don't know if. Yeah, I didn't know if
610
00:28:16.554 --> 00:28:19.498
the one thing that. Before we get to the big fight, I
611
00:28:19.506 --> 00:28:22.380
mean, a couple. You know, just, we learned about what
612
00:28:22.412 --> 00:28:25.308
Jasmine's whole role in this whole operation's been.
613
00:28:25.356 --> 00:28:28.116
I guess she's, you know, she's the healer. I mean, she. That's her,
614
00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:31.156
you know, her super. Her ability has been to,
615
00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:33.624
you know, whenever, we.
616
00:28:33.704 --> 00:28:36.240
We get these. Whenever the
617
00:28:36.272 --> 00:28:38.688
supe agents or whoever get beat
618
00:28:38.736 --> 00:28:41.706
up, she's there to, like, you know, heal
619
00:28:41.730 --> 00:28:44.688
them. Heal them. And, And, of course, we do get, you
620
00:28:44.696 --> 00:28:47.444
know, we do get the whole, like, Andre getting
621
00:28:47.824 --> 00:28:50.240
recruited into the organization
622
00:28:50.352 --> 00:28:52.840
to. Because, again, they use his financial
623
00:28:53.032 --> 00:28:55.640
status and the fact that he wants, you know, to
624
00:28:55.672 --> 00:28:58.484
make. Have a great relationship with his son to,
625
00:28:58.784 --> 00:29:01.704
you know, you. You know, they've been keeping all these folks under surveillance.
626
00:29:01.744 --> 00:29:04.592
And that's the other thing. You know, we get more details, like you said
627
00:29:04.648 --> 00:29:07.306
about the surveilling and, how the
628
00:29:07.330 --> 00:29:09.970
powers actually get activated. You know, they may, like,
629
00:29:10.042 --> 00:29:12.826
either they may be active or they may be dormant,
630
00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:15.714
but they get me, you know, by coming
631
00:29:15.754 --> 00:29:18.042
into interaction with another person who does have a
632
00:29:18.058 --> 00:29:20.746
Supacell gene, you know, activates it.
633
00:29:20.770 --> 00:29:23.762
So, yeah, so we get, you know, so we
634
00:29:23.778 --> 00:29:26.322
definitely get a lot more context and exposition
635
00:29:26.378 --> 00:29:29.156
about, about the powers and also about the
636
00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:30.824
organization as well.
637
00:29:31.134 --> 00:29:33.746
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. I wanted
638
00:29:33.810 --> 00:29:36.394
to talk about the scene between
639
00:29:36.474 --> 00:29:39.178
Dionne and Michael where she finally
640
00:29:39.266 --> 00:29:42.148
learns the truth. this
641
00:29:42.196 --> 00:29:45.172
is some of the best acting I've Scene in the show,
642
00:29:45.268 --> 00:29:47.984
arguably the best acted scene in the show,
643
00:29:48.854 --> 00:29:51.750
specifically from Dion. And it's not just
644
00:29:51.782 --> 00:29:54.678
the actress. it's also just the writing.
645
00:29:54.796 --> 00:29:57.724
I I said this when she first learned about
646
00:29:57.756 --> 00:30:00.428
the powers, like,
647
00:30:00.588 --> 00:30:03.396
now learning about the death. You see her
648
00:30:03.452 --> 00:30:06.452
process it in a very. What
649
00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:09.174
feels to be a very, authentic way.
650
00:30:09.326 --> 00:30:09.822
>> Will: Yeah.
651
00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:12.600
>> Sarah : and between the writing and the acting, I just
652
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.408
thought that that was really standout. I mean,
653
00:30:15.464 --> 00:30:18.448
overall, a strong point
654
00:30:18.624 --> 00:30:20.900
is Dionne as a character,
655
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:24.298
because they were able to make her not
656
00:30:24.354 --> 00:30:26.980
whiny, and not,
657
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:30.656
like, just enough of a damsel in
658
00:30:30.688 --> 00:30:33.056
distress without being
659
00:30:33.128 --> 00:30:35.780
cringy about it. Yeah.
660
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.800
Granted, the longer the episode went on, it became more
661
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:40.344
cringey.
662
00:30:40.392 --> 00:30:43.384
>> Will: But, yeah, it did fall into some tricks.
663
00:30:43.512 --> 00:30:45.660
She became double benefit all, but, yeah,
664
00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:50.156
yeah, I completely agree with you on that scene. I'm
665
00:30:50.188 --> 00:30:52.240
glad. That was gonna be my other.
666
00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:56.178
That was a highlight for me from the season as well. and
667
00:30:56.194 --> 00:30:59.082
I did, as I was watching that scene, I did think of
668
00:30:59.106 --> 00:31:01.808
you, with the
669
00:31:01.824 --> 00:31:04.300
reaction in our conversation about it earlier,
670
00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:07.270
because it did feel very authentic about what
671
00:31:07.430 --> 00:31:09.330
if someone told you
672
00:31:10.270 --> 00:31:12.990
that I've Scene the day that you're gonna die, you know,
673
00:31:13.290 --> 00:31:14.550
how would you react?
674
00:31:16.030 --> 00:31:18.330
and I thought that was very. Ah, yeah.
675
00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:21.670
As you eloquently put it, it was very
676
00:31:21.710 --> 00:31:22.490
well done.
677
00:31:22.830 --> 00:31:25.566
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. And
678
00:31:25.678 --> 00:31:28.414
now that the strings are all coming
679
00:31:28.462 --> 00:31:31.022
together on this, all this big
680
00:31:31.086 --> 00:31:34.080
thing, we all end up in a town
681
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.106
one way or another. as Sabrina
682
00:31:37.258 --> 00:31:39.586
continues to find out what happened to
683
00:31:39.618 --> 00:31:42.224
Charlene, and Taser wants his
684
00:31:42.272 --> 00:31:44.978
vengeance. I don't really know what Rodney
685
00:31:45.034 --> 00:31:45.710
wants.
686
00:31:47.250 --> 00:31:48.310
>> Will: Rodney wants.
687
00:31:48.650 --> 00:31:51.466
>> Sarah : We're here. I'm doing this. And hopefully
688
00:31:51.538 --> 00:31:52.938
Michael will pay me back.
689
00:31:53.074 --> 00:31:55.970
>> Will: Yeah, he just wants Michael to, like, set, you know, go back,
690
00:31:56.050 --> 00:31:59.026
set the time right. Just go back in time. The time
691
00:31:59.058 --> 00:32:02.050
to that, spud doesn't get hurt, but,
692
00:32:02.098 --> 00:32:04.726
you know, we all learn about these butterflies.
693
00:32:05.066 --> 00:32:07.286
>> Sarah : So at what point will
694
00:32:07.976 --> 00:32:10.882
m. Were you, like, where.
695
00:32:10.914 --> 00:32:13.914
At what point watching this, these two episodes,
696
00:32:13.970 --> 00:32:15.486
were you thinking to yourself,
697
00:32:16.706 --> 00:32:18.646
crazy must have powers?
698
00:32:22.336 --> 00:32:24.146
>> Will: you know, it actually,
699
00:32:24.956 --> 00:32:27.604
whenever it was revealed, it made sense, but
700
00:32:27.620 --> 00:32:30.416
I never. It didn't really cross my mind, to be honest.
701
00:32:31.596 --> 00:32:34.012
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I'll be
702
00:32:34.044 --> 00:32:36.996
honest. I didn't expect him
703
00:32:37.036 --> 00:32:39.996
to have powers, but I
704
00:32:40.036 --> 00:32:42.156
was starting based on some of the
705
00:32:42.196 --> 00:32:45.038
scenes, especially the
706
00:32:45.102 --> 00:32:47.806
awkwardness after the Charlene
707
00:32:47.886 --> 00:32:50.758
scene. Like, I started to be
708
00:32:50.782 --> 00:32:53.538
like, okay, crazy must have some
709
00:32:53.602 --> 00:32:56.522
sort of tie, especially when it's pieced together.
710
00:32:56.674 --> 00:32:59.322
Like, the more the location became
711
00:32:59.394 --> 00:33:02.202
obvious in what we've Scene, it's
712
00:33:02.234 --> 00:33:04.858
like, okay, so does
713
00:33:04.882 --> 00:33:07.650
anybody else find it weird that crazy's,
714
00:33:07.698 --> 00:33:10.480
like, whole operations are, right next
715
00:33:10.528 --> 00:33:11.120
door.
716
00:33:11.288 --> 00:33:14.232
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. So that's where I thought they were going to
717
00:33:14.264 --> 00:33:17.232
go. I thought that they would just, like, reveal, like, you know, which we do,
718
00:33:17.264 --> 00:33:20.168
you know, just that the fat. He was a part of the
719
00:33:20.192 --> 00:33:23.184
organization, that they were like a front to, like, you know, again,
720
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.188
to this bigger, grander, you know,
721
00:33:26.252 --> 00:33:29.028
world of. And, you know, not only in a
722
00:33:29.052 --> 00:33:31.628
systemic. True, you know, in the real world,
723
00:33:31.652 --> 00:33:34.348
systemic issues with racism and whatnot, but also in
724
00:33:34.372 --> 00:33:36.976
this. This south London world
725
00:33:37.516 --> 00:33:39.980
that they've established, too, where there's these
726
00:33:40.028 --> 00:33:42.946
issues, that's where I thought they were going to go.
727
00:33:43.076 --> 00:33:45.772
>> Will: But him also being a.
728
00:33:45.884 --> 00:33:48.828
I guess. What's the. It's like,
729
00:33:48.852 --> 00:33:50.626
was it morph in, x Men?
730
00:33:51.446 --> 00:33:53.286
>> Sarah : No, no, he's rogue.
731
00:33:53.446 --> 00:33:56.358
>> Will: Yeah, he's rogue. Yeah. Rogue. Excuse me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It takes
732
00:33:56.382 --> 00:33:57.526
on the other person's powers.
733
00:33:57.566 --> 00:34:00.342
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. Temporarily,
734
00:34:00.414 --> 00:34:00.990
though, right?
735
00:34:01.038 --> 00:34:01.766
>> Will: Yeah, right.
736
00:34:01.806 --> 00:34:04.550
>> Sarah : And he only hold one power at a time. I felt like
737
00:34:04.598 --> 00:34:04.830
during.
738
00:34:04.878 --> 00:34:05.926
>> Will: That's what it seemed like.
739
00:34:06.006 --> 00:34:08.622
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. They
740
00:34:08.654 --> 00:34:11.518
did. The. The action in this
741
00:34:11.622 --> 00:34:14.326
final episode, was good, good
742
00:34:14.366 --> 00:34:17.126
staging, good direction of choreography.
743
00:34:17.246 --> 00:34:17.826
>> Will: Yeah.
744
00:34:17.826 --> 00:34:19.276
>> Sarah : you don't.
745
00:34:20.816 --> 00:34:23.798
You don't feel too disoriented, with
746
00:34:23.862 --> 00:34:26.786
where people are coming from and everything.
747
00:34:27.406 --> 00:34:30.276
and you just feel disoriented on
748
00:34:30.316 --> 00:34:33.052
whether or not Dion's in the car or out of the car. Where is
749
00:34:33.084 --> 00:34:35.924
deon? Yeah, but. But that's because
750
00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:38.436
a lot of this is kind of shown
751
00:34:38.516 --> 00:34:40.966
through Michael's, perspective.
752
00:34:42.386 --> 00:34:43.126
and
753
00:34:46.066 --> 00:34:49.002
I don't know why this came to my mind
754
00:34:49.154 --> 00:34:51.906
during a certain sequence in this fight scene.
755
00:34:52.026 --> 00:34:54.866
I mean, I do know why, but I find it funny because
756
00:34:54.906 --> 00:34:57.826
I swear to you, I swear I read the book, but I have
757
00:34:57.866 --> 00:35:00.832
only Scene the movie one time. but I'm just gonna
758
00:35:00.864 --> 00:35:03.248
call it, like, twilight eclipse
759
00:35:03.392 --> 00:35:06.240
or new moon. I think it's new
760
00:35:06.288 --> 00:35:09.030
moon part two. They do something
761
00:35:09.118 --> 00:35:10.266
very similar
762
00:35:13.126 --> 00:35:16.022
where we get. We get the sequence where you
763
00:35:16.054 --> 00:35:18.866
think it all is lost and everyone's dead.
764
00:35:19.106 --> 00:35:22.042
and Michael just rewinds time and makes
765
00:35:22.074 --> 00:35:23.756
it right. only for
766
00:35:24.576 --> 00:35:27.360
it not to go
767
00:35:27.408 --> 00:35:29.146
his way. and so.
768
00:35:31.736 --> 00:35:33.996
So it's interesting because
769
00:35:35.496 --> 00:35:38.472
we've been told Dion has three months to
770
00:35:38.504 --> 00:35:40.976
live and three months has not
771
00:35:41.016 --> 00:35:43.544
passed. Is she
772
00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:45.276
dead? So
773
00:35:48.136 --> 00:35:50.704
I guess to
774
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:51.956
question it,
775
00:35:53.686 --> 00:35:55.066
if you're a writer.
776
00:35:55.576 --> 00:35:56.392
>> Will: Yeah.
777
00:35:56.584 --> 00:35:58.636
>> Sarah : Do you try to undo that?
778
00:35:59.376 --> 00:36:02.256
>> Will: I don't think you can. I mean, I think the rules that they've established
779
00:36:02.296 --> 00:36:05.236
in this show makes it. I mean, it's done.
780
00:36:05.976 --> 00:36:08.544
>> Sarah : Yeah, but. But see, it's. It's weird
781
00:36:08.600 --> 00:36:11.384
because. So. So the rule is he
782
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.356
can't bring anyone back to life. Right, right.
783
00:36:14.896 --> 00:36:16.036
But he did
784
00:36:17.736 --> 00:36:20.648
because he ran around time, I
785
00:36:20.672 --> 00:36:21.676
think I.
786
00:36:22.406 --> 00:36:23.146
>> Will: So
787
00:36:25.126 --> 00:36:27.854
cuz he, so cuz whenever,
788
00:36:28.030 --> 00:36:30.266
because the first. Whatever, cuz
789
00:36:30.686 --> 00:36:33.222
crazy. So Rodney, like, took
790
00:36:33.254 --> 00:36:36.014
the, got the stuff, the device out of
791
00:36:36.110 --> 00:36:38.718
crazy's back. Crazy switches around, slits his
792
00:36:38.742 --> 00:36:41.718
throat, and it slits everyone
793
00:36:41.782 --> 00:36:42.606
else's throat.
794
00:36:42.686 --> 00:36:45.286
>> Sarah : Yep. Yep. Because this is super speed.
795
00:36:45.446 --> 00:36:48.438
>> Will: Yeah. but before, so,
796
00:36:48.462 --> 00:36:50.950
but before Michael passed away,
797
00:36:51.078 --> 00:36:51.746
he
798
00:36:53.566 --> 00:36:56.266
did, he reversed it, so.
799
00:36:56.686 --> 00:36:59.070
Yeah, but then they contradicted the next scene because
800
00:36:59.158 --> 00:37:01.894
then that's. Yeah, because, yeah, Deon
801
00:37:01.950 --> 00:37:04.254
dies. Yeah. What's with the paradox?
802
00:37:04.350 --> 00:37:07.174
Yeah, I know. They created a paradox.
803
00:37:07.230 --> 00:37:10.054
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. I mean, I can only think
804
00:37:10.110 --> 00:37:13.102
like, Dion is the, the Ben of the
805
00:37:13.134 --> 00:37:13.590
show.
806
00:37:13.718 --> 00:37:14.756
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. Ah.
807
00:37:14.756 --> 00:37:17.406
>> Sarah : Like Peter Parker can't ever undo
808
00:37:17.446 --> 00:37:17.982
that.
809
00:37:18.134 --> 00:37:21.134
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. That's what I said. That's why I joked earlier the uncle Bennett of
810
00:37:21.150 --> 00:37:23.950
it all, because I guess, you know, maybe
811
00:37:23.998 --> 00:37:26.926
that's, that's where I did. I was like, I was hoping
812
00:37:26.966 --> 00:37:29.266
he would, that rat man wouldn't use the
813
00:37:29.686 --> 00:37:32.470
Nexus event trope, but,
814
00:37:32.518 --> 00:37:34.026
but it looks like they did.
815
00:37:34.526 --> 00:37:37.518
>> Sarah : Well, I'm not bad at it either, because I
816
00:37:37.542 --> 00:37:40.512
don't, I think it's an, I
817
00:37:40.544 --> 00:37:43.368
don't, I wasn't
818
00:37:43.432 --> 00:37:46.032
looking forward to season
819
00:37:46.144 --> 00:37:48.912
two still being about how does Michael
820
00:37:48.984 --> 00:37:51.352
prevent Dionne from dying.
821
00:37:51.544 --> 00:37:54.236
Like, yeah, it needed to end.
822
00:37:55.096 --> 00:37:57.664
It was surprising, and I wasn't
823
00:37:57.720 --> 00:37:59.976
expecting it to end like that,
824
00:38:00.136 --> 00:38:02.816
but I, I just wonder if
825
00:38:02.856 --> 00:38:04.596
season two will now be
826
00:38:05.746 --> 00:38:08.666
finding more information about Supacell to take
827
00:38:08.706 --> 00:38:11.674
them down while also trying to figure out
828
00:38:11.690 --> 00:38:14.362
a way to use my powers to
829
00:38:14.474 --> 00:38:17.450
unwrite history. Like, yeah, like,
830
00:38:17.498 --> 00:38:20.178
because, and then we've talked about this before
831
00:38:20.282 --> 00:38:23.146
about how from the
832
00:38:23.186 --> 00:38:26.026
get go, once you realize what Michael's powers
833
00:38:26.066 --> 00:38:29.046
are, the tropes are all over the place.
834
00:38:30.106 --> 00:38:32.874
This isn't our first back to the future
835
00:38:32.970 --> 00:38:33.602
movie.
836
00:38:33.714 --> 00:38:36.618
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. And even, even joke about the butterfly effect in
837
00:38:36.642 --> 00:38:39.234
this show, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
838
00:38:39.370 --> 00:38:41.722
yeah. So, but I wonder too,
839
00:38:41.794 --> 00:38:44.586
if, because, I mean, Michael finally
840
00:38:44.626 --> 00:38:47.206
confronting his fear and telling her
841
00:38:48.706 --> 00:38:50.618
what, the future.
842
00:38:50.802 --> 00:38:51.056
>> Sarah : Mm.
843
00:38:51.666 --> 00:38:54.634
>> Will: You know, maybe that was the, you know, maybe that was the, the
844
00:38:54.690 --> 00:38:57.602
thing that the small, you know. Well, not a small thing,
845
00:38:57.634 --> 00:38:59.926
but maybe that was, that was the, that was the,
846
00:39:00.706 --> 00:39:03.626
he, maybe it wasn't meant for him to tell her what was,
847
00:39:03.706 --> 00:39:06.634
what was going on. So by him
848
00:39:06.810 --> 00:39:09.406
sharing that, it accelerated a timeline.
849
00:39:09.776 --> 00:39:12.684
but to your point, you know, as far as moving ahead, as far
850
00:39:12.700 --> 00:39:14.616
as what the future seasons will hold,
851
00:39:16.356 --> 00:39:19.284
I mean, if, you know. Cause another thing that they mentioned in the
852
00:39:19.300 --> 00:39:22.092
show, too, is, you know, he does have, his
853
00:39:22.124 --> 00:39:24.916
powers, do have limits. Like, for example, he was only
854
00:39:24.956 --> 00:39:27.444
able to do that jump into the future once, he couldn't do it
855
00:39:27.460 --> 00:39:28.016
again.
856
00:39:28.406 --> 00:39:29.174
>> Sarah : Right.
857
00:39:29.350 --> 00:39:32.214
>> Will: So maybe. Maybe he used that
858
00:39:32.270 --> 00:39:35.206
one, that one thing, bringing everybody else back that
859
00:39:35.246 --> 00:39:37.706
one time, you know, he can't do it
860
00:39:38.406 --> 00:39:39.466
for her again.
861
00:39:39.846 --> 00:39:41.586
>> Sarah : Right, right.
862
00:39:42.566 --> 00:39:43.306
I
863
00:39:47.646 --> 00:39:50.438
almost feel like they were right
864
00:39:50.622 --> 00:39:53.438
when they were first talking about the butterfly effect and
865
00:39:53.462 --> 00:39:56.096
that it's already happened, because
866
00:39:56.556 --> 00:39:58.916
I didn't get this sense from future
867
00:39:58.996 --> 00:40:00.696
Michael that,
868
00:40:03.186 --> 00:40:05.720
I didn't get the sense that, in his
869
00:40:05.768 --> 00:40:07.996
timeline, he went to the future.
870
00:40:08.336 --> 00:40:08.744
>> Will: Right.
871
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:11.472
>> Sarah : Like, I didn't get that sense. Like, oh, I've been
872
00:40:11.504 --> 00:40:12.716
expecting you.
873
00:40:13.536 --> 00:40:15.256
>> Will: That's a good point. That's a very good point.
874
00:40:15.376 --> 00:40:18.008
>> Sarah : I feel like it's almost as though. And then him
875
00:40:18.072 --> 00:40:20.956
telling Michael, you need these five people.
876
00:40:21.776 --> 00:40:24.744
And that's what led
877
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.648
to maybe an acceleration where in the original
878
00:40:27.712 --> 00:40:30.376
timeline, there was an extra three months
879
00:40:30.416 --> 00:40:33.392
before these people were
880
00:40:33.424 --> 00:40:36.368
brought together, however, they were. And
881
00:40:36.392 --> 00:40:38.676
then. But now between
882
00:40:39.336 --> 00:40:42.040
Michael knowing he has a timeline
883
00:40:42.168 --> 00:40:44.848
and inadvertently accelerates
884
00:40:44.872 --> 00:40:46.956
it, like, I think, in a way,
885
00:40:47.646 --> 00:40:50.382
what. What both Michaels have yet to realize is
886
00:40:50.414 --> 00:40:53.318
that it doesn't matter if you find them
887
00:40:53.382 --> 00:40:55.826
sooner or later.
888
00:40:56.166 --> 00:40:58.854
Like, she's still. Like, her
889
00:40:58.910 --> 00:41:01.750
destiny is still written. Like, she will
890
00:41:01.798 --> 00:41:04.306
still die, because it's gonna.
891
00:41:05.326 --> 00:41:07.998
You're, gonna have this. This big event
892
00:41:08.102 --> 00:41:10.906
happen, and she's gonna be a casualty.
893
00:41:11.386 --> 00:41:13.366
so, so
894
00:41:15.986 --> 00:41:18.930
definitely, I can understand, and I
895
00:41:18.938 --> 00:41:21.682
was kind of expecting this, why, after
896
00:41:21.754 --> 00:41:24.618
only six episodes, and to finally have things,
897
00:41:24.682 --> 00:41:27.538
like, really kick in in
898
00:41:27.562 --> 00:41:30.290
this final episode, why people were talking about
899
00:41:30.338 --> 00:41:33.136
it. because it does
900
00:41:33.296 --> 00:41:35.756
pique your interest in, like, okay,
901
00:41:36.096 --> 00:41:38.672
I want to see where this goes, what decisions the
902
00:41:38.704 --> 00:41:41.634
writers make and where they take these
903
00:41:41.690 --> 00:41:42.566
characters,
904
00:41:44.466 --> 00:41:47.202
for. For a few different reasons. And we've talked about them
905
00:41:47.234 --> 00:41:47.786
already.
906
00:41:47.946 --> 00:41:48.546
>> Will: Yeah.
907
00:41:48.546 --> 00:41:51.148
>> Sarah : so. But. But it's also. It's also
908
00:41:51.252 --> 00:41:53.852
treading lightly just because we're in trope
909
00:41:53.884 --> 00:41:54.532
area.
910
00:41:54.724 --> 00:41:55.896
>> Will: Yeah, it is.
911
00:41:57.116 --> 00:41:58.348
>> Sarah : Tropes ahead.
912
00:41:58.532 --> 00:42:00.696
>> Will: Yeah. For sure. For sure. Yeah,
913
00:42:01.636 --> 00:42:04.446
yeah, yeah. Good. Oh, yeah, I have. I really.
914
00:42:04.486 --> 00:42:07.168
Yeah. I think you raised m. You
915
00:42:07.192 --> 00:42:10.166
summed up, why I think this series
916
00:42:10.706 --> 00:42:13.594
ended, this, season in particular, now that we know that
917
00:42:13.682 --> 00:42:16.594
we are confirmed to have a season two, why it ended so well
918
00:42:16.642 --> 00:42:19.586
and why I'm glad it did not get canceled, because. Yeah, there
919
00:42:19.618 --> 00:42:22.610
is a lot there. as we discussed,
920
00:42:22.650 --> 00:42:25.492
that, you know, that definitely makes me want to come back for a second
921
00:42:25.540 --> 00:42:26.128
season.
922
00:42:26.868 --> 00:42:29.724
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Curious. Curious is
923
00:42:29.756 --> 00:42:32.368
a good thing to have when
924
00:42:32.408 --> 00:42:34.970
you're, ending a season of
925
00:42:35.034 --> 00:42:37.664
television. and especially when you're
926
00:42:37.696 --> 00:42:40.344
guaranteed to get some sort of answer with
927
00:42:40.416 --> 00:42:43.264
season two. I don't like it, but I'm like,
928
00:42:43.376 --> 00:42:46.024
oh, God. Now that I'm curious
929
00:42:46.096 --> 00:42:48.848
about what will happen, I hope they don't cancel it.
930
00:42:48.968 --> 00:42:51.912
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Because I know that's. That's. That's my biggest whole. That's my
931
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.720
biggest fear with a Netflix show is just like, I don't want to get too
932
00:42:54.744 --> 00:42:57.628
invested because they're gonna, you know, it's a 50 50 chance,
933
00:42:57.928 --> 00:43:00.768
but I'm glad that our. I'm glad that the odds were
934
00:43:00.808 --> 00:43:02.842
in super sales favor.
935
00:43:03.010 --> 00:43:05.946
>> Sarah : Yeah, definitely. All
936
