the wizard

I love this show, but the second half of season 4 has fallen off course, pretty badly. Why did Hader let it turn it into some surreal, weird, metaphorical mess? It has totally lost its identity and it makes it even worse since it's the final few episodes. It's like the writers said, "whoops, we forgot all this psychological stuff for the characters in the last 3 seasons, better try to cram it all in there, quick!" The show has always had a good blend of the unexpected and unbelievable with the realistic and relatable, but this last half of the LAST season has taken a strange turn that nobody wanted. And the ending to this episode....oof. Hopefully the writers turn it around and come up with a satisfying final two episodes because it has been a great series. Shout out to NoHo Hank for carrying this season.

Last episode was so boring I decided to just keep pressing my fast forward button untill something happend but as you know nothing happens in that episode untill the end. I was not confused or miss anything in this episode because I decided to just not watch the last boring 2 hour long or whatever length it was episode.

I actually do not understand what the point of the last episode was its like people just want a buildup even if the buildup is staring at dry paint for 50 minutes they call it "art" a "masterpiece" what is going on with people.

This was a really good NORMAL barry episode just like the rest of the episodes. I just really hope it was a one time thing and people stop giving actual nonsense high rating.

This episode starts pretty slowly, and by slow I mean by Barry's standards of insanity happening on the screen. But the second half is pretty crazy and brings back the Barry craziness we've seen in the previous seasons.

And just because something crazy isn't happening every second, doesn't mean it's bad or it lacked entertainment. Barry listening to pastor podcasts to find a loophole in the religion to justify what he's about to do is really funny and one of the funniest parts of the season. When he goes to buy a gun and then turns back and there are just a bunch of giant bear dolls and kids' toys, it's just so genius and funny and shows that the creators really do think of everything and know how to pack so much in just 30 minutes and do visual storytelling and social commentary without overtly telling you or shoving it in your face.

As much as it's a relatively calmer and quieter episode, the last scene with Sally is just insane and shocking and the ending of the episode is a hell of a cliffhanger for the show. And that Sally scene once again shows how good of production team and the practical effects this show has and how real they make these scenes look. So kudos to the people behind all the practical effects of this show as a whole.

The story of this "8 Years Later" has been going decently so far and it's good to see other characters and what they've been doing these past couple of years, and they start a plotline for them now and it's interesting to see what it's gonna lead to in the next two final episodes.

Though this season has been great so far, I think now it's safe to say that season 3 of Barry was the best season of the show and I don't think this season is gonna beat it. I think I gave 5 episodes of season 3 a 10/10 and that season had banger after banger and the season was on a roll after episode 5 and it was just an amazing season of TV. But so far, I think only two episodes of this season have been deserving of a 10/10, and only if we're being really generous.

Not to say this season has been bad or anything, it's been great and most episodes have been a 9/10 so far. But I think they spoiled us with crazier and crazier episodes in season 3 back to back and topping the insanity of the previous episode, that kinda made you wonder how season 4 was going to top it, and so far, I feel like season 4 hasn't been as consistent and insane as season 3.

Anyway, this episode was pretty good and it's interesting to see where they're gonna go with the second plotline they established in this episode. The cliffhanger is great and something I didn't think would happen, but probably a lot of us wanted to see it in the last season's finale. But the fact that this cliffhanger happens in this episode and not the penultimate tells me that something extraordinarily goofy is gonna happen as usual to help Barry get out of the situation again. Unless the finale of the show isn't what we think it could be and they surprise us with another Barryless episode as a finale or something like the previous episode. Nonetheless, excited to see how they're gonna wrap up the story.

NoHo wasn't in the previous episode. Fuches wasn't, either. That's why it was Barry's Worst Episode Ever.

Luckily for viewers, they're both back for this episode. Both as funny and murderous as ever. So far so good.

Gene Cousineou also figures prominently, as full of self-centered schemes as ever. Also good.

Problem is Barry is still wandering around like he's on Xanax.

But worse. Way, way worse, is that the writers haven't figured out how to put a b4llet in Sally's head. Bargain Bin Meryl Streep is still pulling faces, desperately lunging for that Emmy, and boring the shytt ouf of us while doing do. Now she's got the boring kid in tow.

This show nosedived from about 10,000 feet and it looks like there will be no survivors.

Man i love all the seasons of this show you know but i still have no idea where this season is going as it's been a tad bit silly you know barry is caught by the big black guy which i was not w hopefully tonight's episode is able to follow lasts weeks pretty good although i like the short episodes i think that these last two episodes should at least be over 40 minutes because if these last two episodes are being the same length there's no way that they'll pack in the season finale and this episode was also pretty good and i'm wondering if they'll ever return to the original times when barry escaped probably not but i trust in bill hader to make an exciting finale - sincerlly johnny.
