Holy shit, that was painfully beautiful.

Kino’s speech building up to his crescendo was amazing

And then

Luthen goes and gives his painful speech.

God damn I was ready to book a fight to Yavin 4

[Captainant 27680]

Huh I just realized there's like 10 folks we've seen on screen so far that were also in Chernobyl: Stellan Skarsgård, Robert Emms, Adrian Rawlins, Alex Ferns, Ron Cook, Kieran O’Brien, Lucy Russell, Josef Davies, Alex Blake, Jimmy Walker + a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes overlaps, including Casting Director Nina Gold.

I wonder if Skarsgard could pull off looking 15 years younger for a a Luthen prequel detailing how he decided to rebel. Just take my fucking money if that’s announced.

They could just have this vampire guy play the younger version, who I just learned today is Skarsgard’s son IRL.

Like how Kino's fate (did he ultimately jump or not) seems to be left up in the air.  And yea Luthen should have shot that dude, he is going to get caught, killed (Syril step on up bro) but sell out Luthen before he does. 

 

I bet Luthen tries to kill Deedra and Syril saves her bringing him back into the story.

[Radical Larry 28645]

Thanks for your sacrifice, new guy.

Taking a stab. But dude from barbarian movie also his son. Yea?

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

They could have ended it at the point where they all swam off and it would have been the best episode so far, but they were like, but wait! There's more!

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

The way this show is able to keep your attention and wrench up the tension with very little action is masterful. It reminds me of early seasons of GOT.

Copy pasta from Reddit of THE speech: 

"...and what do you sacrifice?"

"Calm. Kindness, kinship, love. I've given up all chance at inner peace, I've made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago from which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my—my eagerness to fight, has set me on a path from which there's no escape. I yearned to be a savior for injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.

"What is my—what is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burned my decency for someone else's future! I burned my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see! Now, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude... so, what do I sacrifice? Everything!

"Just stay with me, Lonnie. I need all the heroes I can get."

The writing on this show is so superb. And Kino better make a return appearance. F'ing tragic that he couldn't leave. Anyone else get a chuckle that when Kino was talking to the other levels, he was doing it in a Snoke sounding voice?

Fun fact, Davo is the brother of Stephen Dillane, Stannis Baratheon from Game of Thrones.

Nah he's dead and needs to stay dead. He's done his part. 

Will of the force this is...

[F250 28785]

One Way Out! One Way Out! One Way Out!

[Buzzrock 14926]

That makes the most sense and could lead to a really good next episode. The whole prison riots and tries to escape. 

Also: nailed it

I’m going to miss Luthen after he gets gutted by an Inquisitor in S1 finale or S2 premiere.

The ridiculousness would almost be justified by the lulz if they had Kino surrender and be sent to the bio-experimentation facility where he was morphed into Snoke (and Snoke’s subsequent clones).

Bingo, surely this could've been mentioned by Kino or maybe there might be some life rafts of some sort?

Ha yeah.

One of the happiest coincidences of this series is that they were shooting in the U.K. during Covid, so they basically had access to every great London stage actor who didn't have anything else to do; so they filled out every single role with an A++++ actor.

[Levi 2586]

Someone mentioned that Kino knew he wasn’t going to survive/escape since he saw the facility on the flight in and the guards mentioning the whole facility is hydro there at the end. It also adds to his big speech there at the end and why he struggled initially.

I mean if I saw that, I wouldn’t assume it was completely “un-esapable”. People have to get there some way, always means there’s a way back.

Never really though about it this way:

Also, in the picking nits just for fun vein: it seemed awfully easy to turn off a hydroelectric system that takes months to restart.

That’s Bill Skarsgard in Barbarian. Pennywise. Brother of Alex Skarsgard. Son of Stellan Skarsgard.

Also brother of Viktor, Sam and Gustav Skarsgard. All small time actors

oh shyt he was pennywise,thats right.... and just saw new Wick trailer.. i see he's a villian of something on it.

 

I freakin love Skarsgards ... 

[MissingInAction 25109]

The scene of all the prisoners escaping by water as if baptized and reborn a rebellion was just fucking brilliant.

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

So we know for sure Kino is not returning this season.    Serkis seemed to imply that hes had no conversations about the character surviving or done.

 

so we could still see him return in season 2.... or maybe his arc was designed to end with saying, "I cant swim"

"Armed revolution" was literally the "thesis" of the original trilogy.

Maybe it is designed and managed by the same fuckers who designed and managed the Austin Water system during the Icepocalypse.

At a facility like that they probably have some sort of compressed gas. Just gotta stab some tubing into their belly and turn it on. Flex seal the hole and your good to go.

Yeah. Kino Loy. 

[billfromlaketravis 11519]

Kino not dying onscreen is significant, as Star Wars seems to be pretty heavy handed with that shit. Also a pretty significant actor to not give a definitive ending.
 

He has unlimited food and water until the ISB shows up to investigate/stage some bullshit.

So... maybe more dumb questions so forgive me. 

 

Did we already know that ginger was a double agent? 

 

And did Dedra make him when he made his suggestion?
