They were never going to kill Ray off.

I wish they had waited till the season ended before the announced this.

Now we know Ray will survive.

I thought this was the last season, was that ever confirmed? I thought it was so didn't know what to expect. Agreed with Coulson, they should have kept that under wraps.

So did I.

Now that's why with the tension ramping up this season that announcement kind of kills that momentum for me.

Been renewed for another season.

F**k it, that takes a lot of suspense out of it but still great news, it's top of my must watch TV at this stage.

That person was a girl with a large scar on her head.
Didn't the sister Bridget fall from a building after a suicide attempt... or am I way off and really stretching??

Sure what would they call the show if he wasn’t in it?

The adventures of Ter, Bunch, Daryl and Mad Mick!!

The high horse brigade

Mick needs to die, should've died a season or two ago, his character has run its course.

I feel the opposite, I'm hoping for a Mick spin off

I feel he's like Gemma Teller in SOA, he's stayed too long, would make for a better show if his death were to be a season finale.

Agent Coulson

The tension built again this week yet with the announcement of the renewal that final shot means nothing they killed the drama.

Sound, I thought it was out tomorrow. Really enjoyed that episode, brilliant season but yupp the reveal has definitely delivered a blow.

Clareman

Great episode and end to it to setup to the final episode but the renewal means you know Ray is safe whereas he's probably the 1 that's in most trouble

Best and getting better!!!

3 episodes left according to IMDB, but then again I don't trust IMDB as much as I used to.

Slydice

Just caught up. That was some ending. Script writers really earning their wages this year. I'm rarely guessing what's coming up.

For the overall story, I.. I dunno. Are they all just gonna end up permanently hospitalised from being hit in the head too much?

Wiki also says 3 episodes:

Agent Coulson

A great use of Dirty Dancing in this weeks episode.


The Donovan's are going to war!

LionelNashe

Mickey's body language and accent are class.

Slydice

Again, I'm nowhere near guessing where the writers are going. Getting so tense.

ollaetta

Didn't like her at the start but I enjoyed the Sandy auld wan character in this season. She's a female Mickey and every bit as off the wall. Her letching of Darryl is pure creep though.

Agent Coulson

This week was the claim episode before next weeks finale.


The start of closing off this seasons stories this week and Rick Astley perfectly placed.

Slydice

That was the calm!? :eek:

I was just like.. 'this is surreal' in parts because of where it was going.

THEN like I was shocked at how shocked I was during Smittys scene. I just didn't see him even doing that. Like how did that enter his mind as the way to do it.

He went straight for murder and not trying to knock yer man out with a blow to the head.. which also could've easily have killed him

and then:

when they panned back into the car :eek:

Zero-Cool

Not sure if it's a different showrunner, writers or what but this season is absolute quality, brilliant penultimate episode.

Mc Love

Some aggression from Ray!

Agent Coulson

A great closure to a great season.


The opening 10 minutes were great all the Donovan's doing what comes second nature to them while Smitty was a deer in headlights.


To be honest that ending was also shot as a series finale I think.


I would have been very happy for that to have been the ending to the series.

Mc Love

Is it out already?

Agent Coulson

It’s on the showtime streaming app.

Mc Love

Amazing thanks AC

Unbelievable opening scene

Will it be though? I'd be happy with it to be the ending too tbh.

I don't believe Winslow would have hanged herself so am i right in thinking it was Lena that did it?

No it's been renewed.

Zero-Cool

Brilliant brilliant season. Agreed Coulson, I'd be happy if it had ended like that.

Amazingfun

I enjoyed this season a lot, glad they ratched it up again. Have no clue what next season holds, just pray it doesn't involve morphing Ray into an always blubbering "reformed" type.

Slydice

Damn, that was surreal at the end!

Slydice

Me thinks someone on the script team saw this or already knew similar to it:
https://medium.com/drmstream/snow-was-general-all-over-ireland-the-last-paragraph-of-joyces-the-dead-48b08b4c3b1f

First, take away the adverbs:

• softly
• softly
• thickly
• slowly
• faintly
• faintly

Then the adjectives:

• dark
• mutinous
• Shannon
• lonely
• crooked
• little
• barren
• last

Now, read it again, without the adverbs and the adjectives:

Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling upon the Bog of Allen and, further westwards, falling into the waves. It was falling too upon every part of the churchyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay drifted on the crosses and headstones, on the spears of the gate, on the thorns. His soul swooned as he heard the snow falling through the universe and falling, like the descent of their end, upon all the living and the dead.

Joyce doesn’t take life away from Gabriel, just the protection of his self-delusions. After this night, Gabriel will have to live life knowingly in the shadow of the dead.

Ray killed her for her part in causing Bridget to be kidnapped and left Lena do Vinny with the ol' hop out the window on a rope trick for killing her (ex)girlfriend.

The high horse brigade

Great season but should've finished there tbh

Clareman

Great episode to finish the whole show, everything in a nice bow and happy families, I might give next season a miss because I can't remember a show that doesn't go downhill after a finish like that, I can see Alan Aldo having a far bigger input into next season

Tipsy McSwagger

The show completely jumped the shark with the opening to the final episode. Bridget serving sandwiches and then chopping off heads was retarded. ‘Oh but that’s there nature, they’re Donovan’s’, bull****. The season was fairly stupid but entertaining. Mickey and Bunchie are on the run but nobody from law enforcement checks out Terrys gym was ridiculous. Jesus the keystone cops would have caught those 2 in a few days.

Amazingfun

lol, there was a lot of "willing disbelief" required to really enjoy this season, but the way it was done this season wasn't too much of an ask. Jon Voight's presence alone makes me forgive them almost anything.....almost.

cena

What a season. May even be the best season so far.

There weren't enough cops to go around, most of them were buried in Aunt Sandy's garden.

I and my wife may never have laughed harder than when Bridget emerged from the kitchen offering sandwiches.

Your right she's Tony Starks F.R.I.D.A.Y.

Agent Coulson

Of to a decent start some funny lines.

Mostly laying the story lines for the season.

Unearthly

Good episode

I definitely think Mick is dead now. They teased the idea of another escape but even though he's a great character, his character arc has come to an end

Agent Coulson

I think they will tease it

he is alive

for a couple of episodes or maybe the whole season but I think you are right

he is dead this time

.

Agent Coulson

Episode 2.

Lol

Of course he is alive.
