We have finally reached the end of a rollercoaster season and with few spoiler-less words I have to say: Oh My God!

This season finale was easily the best episode of the series. Packed with powerful and breathtaking scenes! Really loved what they've brought to us, after a bunch of not-so good episodes.

There were times I was seated, with my heart beating fast, not knowing what could come next, and also moments I was laughing out loud. This is the show we all love, right?

However there is a slight problem. The second part of the season had unwanted drama, and now when drama and emotion was necessary at certain scenes, they skipped it! They could have created remarkable scenes if they stepped up on their emotion game.

But still, this episode is by far the best "For All Mankind" season finale for me, with also a no-context time jump for us to take wild guesses of what could happen in the next season of the series.

This episode was quite unexpected to be honest. After watching last weeks episode, and read the synopsis of this one, I thought this episode would be astronauts racing to build stations on Mars before it gets cold or something. This would be an amazing episode of the two teams racing each other as the night falls. But they chose to go with the unique way.

The episode kicks in with pointless lines that could have been useful in the alternative version of the episode I mentioned above. We have a new main character now right? Will. Will likes men. Good. Nice actually. Will lives on Mars in 1994. Ok. Sounds good. Will likes men though. Many turn evil after this announcement. Wowowow. Helen is reminded of her deep secret, and has to make sacrifices. Danielle Poole (my mars queen) carries the episode. And some other stuff goes on at the same time.

The writers wanted Nasa and Russia to turn againdt each other both on Mars and on Earth, without having time to develop bonds with each other. So they thought of a way to delay all important stuff such us getting the station online as Danielle said, and went with the "come out" way. Bad move. Didn't like it at all, ONLY because this is a space drama series that has to provide their audience with space stuff and not personal drama.

This new storyline has caused some problems.

1) in addition with the misleading synopsis, ppl are confused as the only thing that is now shown in the episode is astroanuts building stations and rushing.

So here is my synopsis: Nasa and the Mars mission goes haywire after an astronaut makes a controversial personal announcement. Ed parties, Margo makes a discovery and Danielle has back pain from carrying and owning everyone on the red planet. Oh and also, Danny continues to be a shitty character.

2) the side-storyline replaces many useful storylines.

A) helios contacting Mars about the water deal

b) station building race

c) inspecting the broken engines

d) margo trying to save his friend and herself from the soviet union.

Before I conclude I have to say that some parts of the episode were really good. I loved the graphics and the music. Will's acting was really good and I want to see new characters being introduced to the show since the next season will most likely have another time jump. Will's come out opens new pathways and makes plot twists, but the way they chose to show it was really wrong and of course NOT woke.

For me it's an 7.0 but since ratings have gone mad I'll give it an 8 to boost it.

Spoilers Ahead!!!

Edit - July 8th

It was quite obvious that shock factor played a huge role when I gave this episode a 10.0 which I usually avoid. After rewatching the finale, I feel unsatisfied by the fact that they had a time jump of two days.

It literally served no purpose at all. They lost two of their own and then out all of a sudden *DARKS OUT*. Two days later. They should have made scenes of them leaving the upside down and Eleven telling the others they lost their friend.

Also, what happened to the Russians? What about Murray and Enzo. They straight up disappeared. Even though the ending was a bit of a letdown the episode was amazing. And now, you are free to head down below and see my first review while I was under the influence of Stranger Things.

The movie-length season finale with an "Ozymandias" level of quality is the beginning of the end.

In this season, I really loved the fact that they separated the storyline into three different smaller stories: Russia, Hawkings and California. All of the cast nailed their performances.

I am sure that this season is the best of all. And this episode is the best episode of the series, even though the end is not a happy one. But we all know that all things, will, come to a good end at some point. Otherwise, it won't be the end...

I was left reeling after Eddie's death. He was a nice guy and a good friend for Dustin. I'm sure all of us will miss him.

Max's fate was literally gore. I was never expecting a teenage main character to end up like that. Not dead but not alive. I hope she awakes from her coma soon. But I guess it will provide a good aspect for the character in the next season.

Overall the episode was the game-changer of the story. The end is indeed here. But for now, we wait. See you all in 2024 - hopefully.

This is a cinematic masterpiece. Especially the last 15 minutes! I was left speechless. The acting, the agony the action, the soundtrack...all PERFECT!

The story of the old man was truly amazing but it still lacks in depth of what happened after the death of his family. A 80-minute long episode should include more, than just a quick "storytelling".

Jason and the revenge storyline has gone boring, and it's useless. I understand that he is grieving for his lost girlfriend but he acts like he is some type of Indiana Jones. The season has more interesting stuff to cover for example Eleven's past or the origin of the other dimension. (-0,2p)

Sadie's performance is Emmy-worthy. She's amazing this season. This episode is definitely dedicated to her. As I mentioned before, the last 15 minutes were "Ozymandias" type of quality.

Amazing work to the crew and the cast who worked for those last scenes!!!

Ohh here comes the fun stuff. Finally, after three episode, our heroes realise that something is wrong, and the upside down is back.

El faces the consequences of her actions but crazy events happen along the way. The hopper storyline now gets really interesting with. Joyce and Murray are hilarious together.

The enormous budget is obvious this season. We've been to Hawkins, to California to Alaska, to Russia and in the middle of the desert. CGI has improved a lot as well.

Overall that's a good episode, I'm just waiting for something that will leave me speechless.

The storyline kicks in the second episode of the season with mysterious stuff going on. I might be the only one who has this problem; I can't understand who's in California and who's in Hawkings. Both sceneries seem eerily familiar.

The bullied Jane story is weird and it lacks in something I can't explain. It just doesn't make any sense. El is strong regardless if she has her powers or not. But when she's bullied she just takes it and cries like a crybaby. She's been through stuff, that could have costed her life but she gets sad over this? I have to be honest though I really like what she did to Angela at the end. It satisfied me.

The story of Hopper not dying from the explosion is really dull. He fell 30 feet after a strong blast and stood up like nothing happened. Then they took him to Russia. Common stuff right?

Generally speaking, this episode is better than the previous one. It is more interesting to a fan who hasn't watched the show in 3 years and wants to see something good out of it. I'm sure the next episodes will be better.

I thought the movie was better than the series wow just wow... Where do I start from? Should I mention the fact that I actually get Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory vibes out of this? It just feels the same. The sceneries, the insanity, and many plot holes.

Wilford character was displayed bad. The actor was really good but I think an old man locked for 18 years in a metal "circling" coffin with that yellow dressed worm would most likely go insane.

I have also to take into account that everything is bizzare in this series. The train looks really weird and ugly. The "humanity" lacks in differentiation. We have the brainwashed students, the old people and the drug addict (a drug that is also a dynamite) party animals.

I really loved the Korean father and his daughter. Their relationship was amazing and the way he discovered that the snow was melting. Chris Evans' acting was wonderfull. Loved all of his scenes.

There are tons of wrong parts about this movie but others have already covered them. The movie should be different. Just have a drastic make-over. The train seems badly designed and by the look of it, it cannot survive for 1 day let alone 18 years.

Expected more. Too bad. I will get my hopes up for Snowpiercer Season 4.

I've been waiting for this show quality since Star Trek Discovery went woke around Season 2. It feels amazing seeing familiar faces starring once again.

The plot is interesting; a proper way of demonstrating an exploratory ship unlike STD. Surprisingly animation and acting were drastically improved. I loved those sunset shots in the beginning.

Despite the episode lacked in action and had a few weird parts, I really loved it. And for that reason, I will give it an 8.8. Looking for to seeing what Star Trek is all about!

What an amazing episode! Packed with actions and suspense. Im really happy 9-1-1 is getting back to it, after those boring episodes.

The episode was really good but the only problem for me is the fact that the two prisoners were caught so easy by the police even though 5 minutes prior to that, they were the masterminds who managed to walk out the front door.

But besides I have nothing else to else.

"Bohica" Bailey. Hospital Crisis, once again. In a season full of nothingness.

It is so obvious that Bailey and Amelia are the only two reasons I still watch the show. The rest of the characters have become so lame.

However this episode was a compensation to the previous episodes that belong in the trash. I can still hope for a GC legendary comeback next month when Addison returns just to carry the show again.

It feels like it's the beginning of the end. A bad end to be honest. Meredith leaving Greys Sloan like it means nothing to her.

How can she even leave after spending some weeks or a few months with some people from the other side of the country? She's done everything for this hospital. She's become who she is in this very hospital.

But if her departure is really the case, please make it likeable.
