No, still one more. 

[Zio]

There really was a lot to take in this week.

 

There is this horrible little niggly feeling in the back of my head that it's going to go the way of Lost and just end up being a load of shit made up as the writers go along, but I'm hoping and praying I'll be wrong because I'm absolutely loving it so far. I'm very intrigued about the final episode, not to mention extremely pissed off that I have a big work event I need to attend next Friday so I'll have to wait to watch it.

[Timmo]

Jesus, what an amazing episode. Considering it was a bridge episode, that was some of the best tension-building I've ever seen.

[Harsin]

Helly is clearly…

…at that Friends of Lumon event that Patricial Arquette was meant to meet the board at.

Terrible. Butter on it? Unmelted butter?! Jesus.

[Harsin]

I think the thing I’m looking forward to most is

 

Spoiler

Mark’s Innie surfacing and at an event with Rickon who they all think is some kind of wise guru instead of a colossal doofus.

 

[Gotters]

I agree that the waffle looked appalling - squishy on the outside, doughy and cold. Very poor.

 

Brilliant episode though, the 45m flew by so quickly as it built a real sense of foreboding.

 

I so hope they stick some sort of landing for this, it feels so far brilliantly conceived and structured. Nothing has quite intrigued and hooked me this much in a long time.

Can't really see them all, but they're supposed to be Kiers Nine Virtues, seen in a painting being wielded against the Four Tempers

 

As for the Four Tempers

Well, it’s her surname.

[Capwn]

At some point there is going to be an origin episode, or even season, that shows the foundation of Lumen. With someone playing the founder. 

[Vemsie]

I keep repeating myself but this is just brilliant. I never knew I needed

John Turturo painting the shit out of his canvas with Aces of Spades

blasting though the speakers in my life but I'm glad it happened.

[Gotters]

People on reddit are definitely noticing stuff in this I'm missing, I'll spoiler for those that want to avoid

 

the card that he stole from O&D

Spoiler

showed how to attack somebody, which is what he did to Milchick, was it 'programming' them thru suggestion ?

the data on their screens that they sort into buckets

 

Spoiler

the lettering on the buckets corresponds to the 4 tempers

 

There was a big Q&A last week on twitter with the cast, it was mentioned that the script was in development with Ben Stiller's company for 5y after they first received it, and multiple times the actors said the writer has answers to all the questions they asked - which has me hopeful this isn't being written on the hoof.

 

Finally I told my other half last week that I'd smashed the walking target I'd set myself for Q1 walking the dog, she ordered me a finger trap as a surprise reward from Amazon. 

[MrHendo]

I can’t see how we get anywhere near all the answers we want out of the last episode.

Spoiler

I want more back story on Petey, what happened to him to pull him out.

More back story on Cobel.

Will we see Burt again? 
What’s with the testing floor?

Did the wife actually die? And regardless of the answer, what did they do to get her?

Is Cobel after some kind of similar thing for her mother? Was she working on the inside?

What work do they actually do?

 

There’s probably a ton more but I’d be surprised if they manage to fit even half of everyone’s questions into one episode.

I just hope they stick the landing, set the next series up while still having a solid conclusion to the series.

[JohnC]

Second season now confirmed.

[Arn X Treme]

That makes me think we'll get more questions than answers tomorrow then

[JohnC]

Well, that was tense.

[jon_cybernet]

As the finale episode finished I suddenly realised I’d been holding my breath for the last two minutes. Holy. Fucking. Shit. 
 

I think I’m gonna get myself severed for 8 months so I can watch S2 tomorrow. 

[Colonel Panic]

Yeah, holy fucking shit. 

[Capwn]

That finale felt like it was 15-20mins. 

[MrHendo]

Bravo! That was really something.

[scottcr]

oooft!  That was ace

[Timmo]

What an amazing show.

[Grobbelboy]

As much as I’m looking forward to Better Cal Saul I really don’t see anything topping this this year. The best thing on Apple TV+ by far. 

[Spartan]

Absolute masterclass. Jesus, the tension was cranked up to 11. 

[Harsin]

So good.
