I don't consider myself thin-skinned, but this show is becoming quite edgy, even for my tastes.

Good thing that gay clone shit happened right at the end, otherwise I'd probably have needed a second fap break (first one was after the racist cop killed the innocent young black man just for fun).

I guess he's referring to the scene where the white supremacist supe(liberty) murdered Myron in front of his sister Valerie.

I know, just saying it wasn't a cop. That scene was fucked though, like his face, and he was still alive. Shit would suck.

There were two things I really disliked about this episode: the fake drama and deus ex machinas.

1: Fake lazers onto the crowd. Cheap trick, lazy writing. Daydream sequence to wipe out what would have been the most dramatic moment of the show.

2: Noir has the whole crew on the ropes and is about do end the series. Butcher wait until the last second to pull out some bs story that doesn't even make sense when you think about it. So in the end, we went through all the drama with Noir, the fire, the shooting, MM getting stabbed, all for nothing. It was just an excuse for "action".

I agree with the first part but I didn't think the second was as bad. as far as reasons for black noir to not murder them go that one was okay

I don't think butcher deciding to play a game of bluff with Gus can be described as deus ex machina. His original plan was to offer himself as a sacrifice and when his team didn't run he had to think of another plan, one that uses information set up in the previous 4 episodes to succeed.

Pretty great episode, especially after the previous week was pretty lame & slow. The scene when HL laser-eyes the crowd, wow. My GF doesn’t even watch the show, & I showed her the scene & she had the same reaction I did, holy shit.

It’s probably foreshadowing shit HL does later, & it’s not the first time the show has shown a hypothetical “dream sequence” either. Plus it was dope, so who gives a fuck, besides you I guess
