4: The Freakin Knife Scene! :eek: when

she escapes from the group trying to trade her for immunity

Agent Coulson · 06-01-2019 4:20pm

Well those last 10 minutes of this weeks episode have made everything a whole lot more interesting.

05 is out and I would assume that is what Agent Coulson means.

That was the best TV I have seen in a while.

Feels solid enough. Not sure

she wants a peaceful meeting though

I really liked the origin story episode but I felt the way, initially, the worlds diverged was a bit of a stretch.

Surely if two identical people were doing identical things and saying identical things in the exact same world then they'd both be talking and imitating their actions at the exact same time, and it would be impossible for it to diverge that way? I would have thought it only possible to happen if they actually made human contact with each other and something beyond their control on one side caused it, not for one to speak and the other to wait.

Only a small thing, but still.

Also they both exist in East Germany, in a society where the Stasi are banging in doors over a pamphlet. Yet Management don't have to interact with the state at all (even though its failing, surely they'd want to no whats going on in the facility?)yet get money and resources and military personnel. Surely the DDR would have been all over this? either trying to exploit it for the DDR, or private gain?

7: Oh, I was full sure

Clare was gonna have killed Peter when Howard arrived.. but she hadn't. That relationship sure is confusing.

Good to see

Nadia will be back next week

Checking the audience numbers on wiki.. hrmm.. they dropped earlier but seem to be rising again:

Episode 8 was excellent, quite a lot of story put into it with excellent parallel development.

They clearly are pushing the story forward quickly now, hopefully not because they think it's their last season.

Agent Coulson · 03-02-2019 11:19pm

Yes really well done on the parallel story telling this week.

Slydice · 04-02-2019 9:37pm

Agreed! So much set up. With two episodes left this season, I'm thinking maybe a half episode of setup and the rest to play things out. I can feel a cliffhanger in the air though!

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2019 2:14pm

Everything is set up nowfor the season/series finale next week.

Let's hope it's only a season finale.

Yggr of Asgard · 10-02-2019 7:00pm

Okay, I am having mixed feelings about the future of this show after rewatching the latest episode.

Giving that some areas do not air episode 9 until tonight, I do it with spoilers.

While it was clear that Mira ultimately would succeed in her plan how to deal with management I wonder where this can go now that she clearly has management devices from both sides set up in the special interface room.

However, this episode was excellent, showing off the acting ability of Olivia Williams,

the way she came across at herself in the interface room was fun because I really thought there was glass until she lunged forward.

In any case, if this is the season finale coming up then I'm looking forward to the next season if it's the series finale I am hopeful they can ty up most threads.

It was/is an excellent TV show.

Slydice · 10-02-2019 8:46pm

Yeah, I hope it's not the end but if it is, then it's been a top show.

Looking forward to next week!

Counterpart has been cancelled by Starz but is being shopped to other networks. Season 2 finale airs this weekend.

Yggr of Asgard · 11-02-2019 9:58pm

It is unfortunate that this got canceled but the writing was on the wall for it, let's hope it does end not on a cliffhanger next weekend.

This was one of the best shows right now, unfortunately behind one (US) or even two (UK) paywalls and very seldom promoted by Starz.

Even on youtube, it was hard to find reviews, Gary from Nerdrotic one of the only regular reviewers.

With the viewing figures, I don't think that Amazon/Netflix will touch it.

Slydice · 12-02-2019 1:47am

I'm torn. I've seen good shows cut abruptly before.

If they managed not to have a cliffhanger and it gets cancelled then that would be something.

Getting renewed obviously being the better outcome... well so long as the show doesn't go downhill.

Walter Bishop · 12-02-2019 4:32pm

Really hope this gets picked up, zero expectation it will.

Walter Bishop · 17-02-2019 9:07pm

Show maintained a very high standard throughout, satisfying ending, shame there will not be further resolution (probably).

Agent Coulson · 17-02-2019 9:09pm

Ye I'm happy enough with that being the closure.

EoinMcLovin · 17-02-2019 9:15pm

Anybody else think that the new deal that Howard from the other side made

was for the other Howard to take his place and go to the other side seeing as his wife was dead

Sierra 117 · 17-02-2019 10:48pm

I'm satisfied with the ending. It's definitive enough that it works as a series finale while flexible enough to allow for a third season if needed.

Slydice · 18-02-2019 1:14am

What a freakin excellent episode. Especially knowing that it's future is up in the air.

I thought they were winding down.
I thought killing Emily was too signposted
I thought Simmons acted the sadness Howard felt so well
I thought that was it at the end
I thought the only opening they left was the others who Clare said had crossed and been placed.

I thought wrong

Oh Mira. Excellent plan. Just caught me sideways.
In a way, it just felt the perfect revenge for her to take.
Another season would be great but maybe leaving it there is ok.

Tristram · 18-02-2019 12:14pm

Great ending!

Spook_ie · 22-02-2019 1:59am

Someone please confirm

The last scenes are in the world with the still living Emily

Found it hard sometimes to keep track of which world we were in.

No,

The last scenes are the virus being released into the Prime World

The last living Emily is in (and from I think) the other World where the Flu had already killed so much people.

Just started this and it’s very good after 6 episodes, lots of twists and turns and the acting from Simmons is fantastic, making me want to go back to OZ after this

that's what i did, i'm currently watching the final season of Oz.
