If only these people had Moon Taylor along with them, that would solve everything. "We don't need to punch, let's all have some brunch and be frieeeends..." For all that I ragged on Season 2, it was worth it to get to this point, a solid hour of nonstop suspense on the edge of my seat, and I'm profoundly thankful Hwang had the faith in it to carry an entire episode by itself with zero cuts to the fucking boat (I even wish we didn't even have the cuts to In-ho, which don't seem to serve any function anyway). For starters, this is maybe the most impressive set in the show's history, and that's against some stiff competition, and it never got old to see people go along these hallways and try to outwit each other with the different rooms. Gi-hun's story gets off to a killer start, as he chases Dae-ho right to a cliff only to see Clarice Starling is at the door. After decompressing a bit I went back and watched this whole sequence to see if it played fair, and it feels like it does even if the identical hairstyle is a bit of a stretch. Lee Jung-jae shows he can be quite terrifying when he wants, and never lets up even with very few lines, letting us see everything he's thinking with just his eyes. You know Nam-gyu, if a guy cares about you so little he can never get your name right, maybe he was never worth caring about in return? Just a thought. But my inclination to give him any sympathy has been at zero for a while, and now I'm just eager for him to find out, as a certain guy I know would put it, just how much trouble can come from something with lifeless eyes, dead eyes, like a doll's eyes. And Myung-gi has basically no hope of crawling off the shitlist either, but I'll get to that. I've been fortunate enough to never have a serious foot injury in 40 years, so I can't say I quite understand exactly what Jun-hee is going through, but that's what acting is for, plus some hideously believable makeup. I'm not so wild on her having the baby now, especially since I'd never once gotten the impression she was in the last few days of it and figured she was second trimester at most. And now we're stuck with a CGI demon baby for presumably the rest of the four episodes after this, though I do like to imagine In-ho responding with "Fuckfuckfuck what the hell do we do about this, my whole brain is crying." They're probably in for some "Keep the chicken quiet before you have to smother it" stuff back at the sleeping room. Which brings us to Hyun-ju, and I imagine this has stirred up quite the controversy (not helped by her being played by a cis man in the first place), but much like Cinta in Andor, I'm more okay with it than I usually would be just because this is specifically the kind of story where no one should be safe, and odds are we're losing everyone we care about by the end. And she gets the chance to go down swinging through the whole thing, so that I like to think her last thought is "If it has to end, at least I go out like this, being Batman." Myung-gi now has a solid chance of getting his throat slit by Jun-hee in the night, and I had one of my biggest moments of solidarity with you ever there. I'll also take this opportunity to recommend The Glory, where Park Sung-hoon really shows his range outside this role as a smug rich prick you can't wait to see get his comeuppance, and in the meantime he's just fun to watch. I was also surprisingly sad to see the witch lady go, just because she's unexpectedly funny here and I was looking forward to seeing more of her gradually losing any dignity. Most of all her being so confident about the exit, and then backing out of the room like Shaun checking if there are zombies past the fence. And I have to imagine 100 is going to have a bit harder time now with him having shown how ready he is to backstab anyone. Even if there are no witnesses, people have to notice how few of his allies made it out, right? As soon as they start asking where In-ho is, I guess. But then there's the very end, which couldn't be more depressing if Young-sik's last words were "Take her to the moon for me." It has to be deliberate that in the course of refusing to kill his mother, he goes after another mother, and thank you for not feeling the need to spell that out in dialogue. Bit of suspension of disbelief that seeing Renesmee Cullen wouldn't just make him stab faster, but we work with what we have, and I'm sure none of us suspected this is where Chekhov's hair knife was going. He's always been the closest thing to Gi-hun as we first knew him, and it's another case where you have to question what you would do in such an extreme situation, and always just end up on being grateful you don't have to. I may well end up declaring this the show's best episode, and even if the rest of the season goes downhill, I'm glad we got it, as painful as it is for everyone (it probably doesn't surprise you that you're far from the only reactor openly weeping at it).

These people could have used Moon Taylor. Alas, with this show: No mercy. Had the thought of this being like the Matrix sequels where the second one gets stuck having to play slow until the real fun begins. Seeing how good the payoff has been here thus far, I’m willing to be a bit kinder to the second season. True, no cuts to the boat. The In-ho scenes, I imagine are setting up the inevitable payoff, maybe. This was a hell of a Kubrickian set. That scene in The Silence of the Lambs is one of the best examples of the bait-and-switch with the cross-cutting. If we didn’t have the identical hairstyles, we wouldn’t have the fun comment from Jess about it. There was ever a point when Nam-gyu had sympathy? Regardless, the fun of seeing the moment when he decides that he’ll never put on a life jacket again is quite strong. Probably inevitable that we both made a shout out to that scene. I recall you were allowing some benefit of the doubt with the crypto fucker, which, well, that’s not happening anymore. More on that in a sec. Never broken anything. My dad broke his ankle real bad. Never healed, and yeah, the look of Jun-hee’s fracture is rather similar, bringing memories back. I do have a bit of gout which flared up in my foot last year. Could barely move, so I felt the pain. Similar bit of confusion on the pregnancy timeline. I can see a community agreement with In-ho’s response. The chicken thing, I say, “Oh, JESUS, don’t even joke about that!!!”, (Damn good reference to be fair.) though that’s not the part of the finale that got me or my brother the worst. Reminds me that I was afraid of in Agatha All Along that for her to snap out of the Scarlet Witch hex that they were going to do an homage to that, and I was going to NOT be ok with that. (Whilst appreciating the homage.) If there has been any controversy of Hyun-ju’s death, I’ve yet to hear of it. I noted the Cinta comparison too, thinking what you said of everyone is equally in danger in this show. You went into the season knowing that the odds were high that it would happen. At the very least, Hyun-ju had one hell of a last episode, going out swinging. And now I’m sadder reading the excellent pairing of Hyun-ju with Kevin’s swan song as vengeance, the night, Batman. Nicely done. The solidarity is strong with this one, and the throat slitting is the wonderful image. It would have been nice to see shaman lady devolve more. She did have the strong Shaun energy at that one part. Jeong-dae would be likely to dry up his ally pool after this, assuming everyone’s not distracted by what happened to In-ho. And then there’s the scene about as sad as the Bing-Bong of it all, good touch. Good note on the symbolism with the mothers not being spelled out. See we have a bit of a shared group assessment on the Renésmée of it all. The MST3K guys put it best when they said that Jack-Jack from The Incredibles looked less digital. No, not where I thought Chekov’s hairpin was going. I thought it would go into Jeeong-dae. The whole thing, as I said, got to me so bad. Which is why I avoided watching this episode on my mom’s birthday when these all dropped. Badly as I handled it, I still think I could have handled it worse. Still went to the fridge half saying to myself, “It’s fine. Everything’s going to be fine.”, before grabbing a beer which I knocked back, which helped me sleep. Yong-sik is Gi-hun as he was, and he is the audience Rorschach. It’s up there, if not best episode, top three easy. I don’t doubt that other reactors are weeping at this one, though I haven’t seen any other reactions to this season yet, despite youtube shoving the videos onto the recommendations with the thumbnails that I have to keep looking away from before the brain registers what I’m seeing. And since there’s the shared weeping that you say, reiterating my opening comments of fuck the people giving Jess shit for the emotional investments.

I don't think I've ever been as attached to a character before as I have with Hyun-ju. She was without a doubt my favorite of the entire show. It will be really difficult to get over her death 💔
