"You have a unibrow that you tend to regularly"

So wow, "Beholder" turned out to be a really good ep with a surprising, and heartbreaking twist.

Some of the highlights:

• Dorian answering Kennex's phone and the resulting conversation - "She holo-blocked you. Perhaps you're boring." Ha!

• Stahl actually had something to do in this episode! Another, bigger glimpse into the world of the Chromes. But there's still a lot of backstory we're missing. Why does she so resent being a Chrome? Becoming a cop was obviously a rebellion of sorts.

• Rudy as a child model? LOL!

• Favorite lines, all courtesy of Dorian:
"Let's replace your robotic leg with a tree stump. Or a shovel."
"You chew with your mouth open, you lie about putting gel in your hair and you snore."
That last one killed me - what's he doing talking to Kennex's smart bed, eh?? Oh the can of worms that just opened up! LOL!

• I actually felt really sorry for the bad guy (who I will always remember from SPN's episode Monster Movie). I never saw that twist coming with the girl. Brilliant.

• That was such an odd end scene with Kennex, like it was just kind of tacked on at the last minute. I was hoping that Dorian would walk up and they'd go get that drink together.

So next week is the season (series?) finale already. Previews look really good. I don't want it to end, though! Still a bad sign that there's been no word on renewal. :-(

What did you guys think of Beholder?

I think I'm still in serious denial mode. I complete erased the fact that next week is already the last episode from my mind.

Usually it's rather hard for me to feel bad for the antagonist of the week, but that twist was sooo sad :(

The last scene was really weird and I don't think Minka and Karl have a lot of chemistry tbh.

I like that we got more back story for the Chromes, but what about the wall??? I know that apparently short seasons are the new thing, but this show really could have done with at least 3 more episodes. Now it'll be even worse when it won't get renewed. How about that, Fox: I'd sacrifice Hawaii Five-0 and Supernatural for at least one more season of Almost Human. That sounds like a deal, doesn't it? Ignoring the fact that none of them air on Fox...

I know, right? :-( I’m going to be so sad if it’s the very last ep ever.

That was absolutely brilliant writing. That was probably one of my favorite moments of the entire series.

The problem is, the scenes they do have together are always so short. They’re rarely out in the field together. So it’s hard to build up any chemistry, you know?

I agree! They suddenly introduced like, four major plot points and now we’re going to be left hanging. Maybe permenantly, unfortunately!

Oh, I would so dump SPN at this point for more Almost Human. Honestly, FOX should dump The Following. I’d sacrifice that in a heartbeat. AH actually did better in the ratings this week than The Following.

True! There should be something like a car ride with Dorian vs. a car ride with Valerie :D

That's awesome news. I mean, I enjoy The Following, but I'm not very attached to it. More AH would be much better!
