Starting point is 00:01:54 Okay That's what I'm talking about All right now that there's action Aaron should actually like this We have intrigue now baby I'm in I'm excited I'm ready for the future

Starting point is 00:02:14 For the rest of the season This was great If last episode was a 7 This was easily like a 9 for me This was Chef's kiss this beautiful the camaraderie between them

Starting point is 00:02:27 was all great well I like the intrigue of the evolution of the mythology that we've seen from the last season with the portal to the other timeline I like the chemistry

Starting point is 00:02:36 between all of the cast I like the fact that they have new powers that are evolved I like that Klaus finally has his powers back I like the fact that all of these characters

Starting point is 00:02:44 are still themselves and we're seeing the evolution of not only them as actors but them as characters I like the fact that Ben has somebody to finally bounce off of so he's not such a a dick all the time sure this is great i thought this was amazing i'm gonna say this is worse than the last

Starting point is 00:03:00 one no no i thought this was amazing i think the fan like it's been a while since i've watched something here where i'm like i'm just so suckered in that that i'm not even really i'm like oh yeah there's a camera like forgetting about the cameras actually like i haven't had the experience in a while there's something about this show in particular where i'm really feeling that and i love Like, just the, to take kind of like a more grounded approach in the main setting with the small town family and the suspicion, there's a lot of that, I don't know, like that thriller vibe of, like I said last episode, like a 60s espionage-esque type of, you know, there's something underneath the surface that would, people, you don't know who to trust, you know, and like conspiracy. I love how that's like casting a job. giant Paul over everything and then to have like the winter setting in particular and watching the the way the show is letting kind of the atmosphere of the weather dictate the pacing and dictate a lot of the vibes but keeping it with like the family dynamics keeping it with where all these like there's the writers are so good at the writers combined with the acting are so good at really knowing who their characters are and even being able to take them where they are. a few years from now and really pay attention to how much they've changed and right to that you know that still sounds authentic to each of the characters and to watch like the dynamics at play like

Starting point is 00:04:34 i'm loving like i feel like this will be my favorite season of diego i really feel like this is gonna be a favorite see he's so freaking funny and like he's got like one of the biggest changes out of all the characters you know uh he's he's he's a dad to three children and he's he's kind of uh let himself go and he's is a lot more cynical than before, and I love, I love his portrayal. I think it's so fitting. And I think he's doing such an excellent job in him and Lila as the parents. That might, like, rekindle a romance for them, you know? I really love it, like, their dynamic, so much.

Starting point is 00:05:09 I think everyone is great. And yeah, but do you see what I mean if I suspected that this might be like a mini movie? Totally. Versus like a stretched out 10 episode season. Yeah. I'm hoping it still feels that way by the. the end but like to me this felt like oh combine this with episode one like this is getting that mini movie vibe because this feels very cinematic in a in a different way than umbrella

Starting point is 00:05:33 academy usually feels cinematic umbrella academy usually feels cinematic and and like weirdness this felt like i don't know it kind of compared to like like the hair you know like harry potter in the deathly hollows part one that's kind of what i compare it to okay okay where you're like you're mainly just with the characters and and rather realistic scenario at first before we go a little bit more heightened you know yeah no again i can i can definitely agree with that i think the fact that we're seeing all of them in the time where like i like the fact that we are seeing them in this new space like like like like kind of built off what you said up with uh lila and diego like that whole scene with them arguing like let me just have this one thing

Starting point is 00:06:17 let me just do this thing and then he takes charge and then she helps him at the end like that was great i feel like that was like echoes of their old relationship or how they were when they first started and just seeing like them where they are now is i don't know it's just all very very rewarding it's it's also just fun to see i like diego just like kind of wanted to get back into the glory days and the whole part with the van was hilarious and them getting accustomed to their powers because yeah i think one they're them being together is all when they are their strongest you know especially them coupled with with their powers and like obviously the it's the perfect marriage of the strong plot with the strong characters and yeah i think the

Starting point is 00:07:01 whole thing with it being a kind of mini-movie feel i think part episode one episode two are definitely like these two things that need to go together because that's definitely it feels like an act one and we're about to enter our act two and yeah i like the fact that we are now have this overarching threat, this overarching thing of Hargraves again, but like in a different sort of context. And yeah, the mystery is, is palpable. And I think it's just very, I don't know, it's, it's enjoyable. I think this show's always been enjoyable, but I think that it's taking a different sort of approach with its, how it presents itself and its pacing. And yeah, I'm just enjoying it overall.

Starting point is 00:07:48 And I think what they're doing with Ben is great. Yeah, that part too. He's an amazing improvement upon, like, to beat him down to this point. Because he kind of felt like he was a villain out of a soap opera in the last season. You know, it was just so over the top in the way, like, every line was also kind of said the same, too. And they don't, like, completely change that, but they, like, kind of turn the needle a little bit with that character and allow for more real moments. And even though they, you know, they do establish that he still feels like he's not really a part of the family, but he's actually feeling like a part of the family in a way that's fitting, you know? And I think this, this to me, their vibes to feel the most family like than ever before.

Starting point is 00:08:35 Because sometimes you got like friends vibes and like you still felt like distance with certain characters and certain dynamics. and while the distance is there with some characters especially like allison with everyone there's still a sense of familiarity that i feel is really strong i really love this i'm really i'm loving this a lot i think this is going to be i'm going to miss the show already yeah this is really freaking exciting and the whole mystery with the train yeah i'm excited for it yeah i think it feels more grounded too as like even though we'd had to just get the thing with the them all shooting the guns and like finally the return of their powers but I feel like each season started off with, like, the, what's not cheeky, but, like, they all have, like, the dance number and, you know, even though it still has its, it's humor, I feel like, I don't know if we're ramping up to the weirdness or we're just taking, like, a different direction with it.

Starting point is 00:09:24 But, yeah, I think it allows us to feel the stakes more because it, even though it has those sci-fi elements, there is this element of it being more, like, in our world. Yeah, in a sense. So, but, yeah, I also like the, that paranoia feeling as well that we start. with the first one and we're only building off of only building with the whole hard graves being behind it all which is you know he's always behind it but the way that they're approaching it uh just feels more insurmountable because it's everywhere now yeah but yeah because he reigns supreme over like the world now you know yeah i think that's really cool he's like he's kind of like a kingpin villain but there's also daddy all right guys what did you think about this episode
