Ummm...you're nuts. It was the best episode so far, by far. laughed the entire time.

It's good that your type was uncomfortable. You're exactly who the show-makers were aiming to "offend. Your "offense" is part of the joke.

You can't say it was funny, which it was, because it is OFFENSIVE or...something.. lol

Your stick-up-the-ass, SJW reaction is what's cringy and ever so predictable. I said in my first comment above that the usual commenters would be screaming "cultural appropriation" in reaction to the hilarious Indian disguise scene. It's sad you have no sense of humor and live to be offended.

Oh please...seriously, lighten up and enjoy life a little. I haven't seen an Indian/Sikh/whatever scene like this in maybe my whole entire, long life. All this crap about what the show-makers are saying, that that's "all India is about," is in your head and nowhere else.

I'm an American of German descent. Ever since I was a little kid i have seen stereotypical/humorous/comical representations of German Nazi behavior and stupidity during WW II, and I have laughed my ass off. I went to a Lutheran church and parochial school here in the U.S. as a kid and was frequently called a "Kraut" because of it. I laughed along with the name-callers and no one made a big deal out of it.

But by all means enjoy your delicious opportunity to be offended.

I don't know what shows/movies/production company series you watch, but I haven't seen an Indian Siekh/Punjabi bit like this in...forever. What are you talking about?

It was funny as hell and I give gmmtv great credit for their willingness to go there.

I'm not Indian and I don't speak on anyone's behalf but my own. The Indian Sikh moments were funny as hell and part of the humor comes from the fact that Gmmtv was willing to go there despite the predictable reaction of the SJW crowd.

Actually, has ANYONE here claimed to be speaking on behalf of the Indian people? Or are you sort of warning people to shut up pre-emptively. Just asking, of course, with all due sincerity and respect.

The shipper/fujoshis (is there a male equivalent name of "fujoshi?) are hysterically funny, an obvious parody. Anybody who whines about their presence in the story needs to get a life and a sense of humor and take the broom stick out of their ass.

This episode was 100% better than the last. Nearly laughed my ass off. If the hilarious bit with the Indian Siekh disguises had been done here in the U.S., the SJW, PC-psycho crowd would be going nuts about disrespect, cultural appropriation, stereotypes, etc. and how deeply offended they are. When in reality the Siekh bit was hysterically funny.

But wait...I haven't read comments yet...perhaps the SJWs ARE out in force! Let's see, shall we...?

Duean's screech-voice when he's annoyed is way funny. I love his character. He's such an idiot but fully confident of his awesomeness. And he IS kind of awesome, actually.

Pi gets cuter and cuter as he begins to catch on to Mork's feelings for him. Great episode.

Perhaps, beginning with the final beach scene, the best, sweetest, most uplifting ending possible to one of the worst special-episode/reunion/sequels in BL history. Which is, unfortunately, saying a lot.

Terrible script, hated those statement/insert thingies, terrible direction, nothing really happened, both characters were made into super-annoying versions of their former selves, the chemistry they had in the first two MIRs is gone or severely damaged, etc. This was just...awful. I say that as someone with great affection for both seasons of MIR the series. Boom is one of my favorite BL actors. So freaking cute/sexy in such a quiet/unassuming way. I hope they gave him a really big paycheck. The real star of this disaster were Boom's legs. :D

I really enjoyed MIR the series. I've watched just one episode of this follow-up and so far pretty disappointed. I adore Tee and I'm good with Fuse, but the chemistry they had in MIR seems strained or kind of absent here. Do people who are in love and consider themselves a couple really meet after a long separation and act toward each other like these two did? Where's the desperate, loving hug upon meeting? Where's the kissing? We basically get some awkward flirtations and a weirdly asexual double-bath, followed by a stupid mannequin-kiss in the sunset. I mean, you could actually see them leaning in together while keeping their torsos apart and the camera panning to make sure we didn't see any actual lip-on-lip contact.

After TWO seasons of MIR and a couple of years to mature, these actors aren't comfortable enough with each other or committed enough to their characters and story to actually show some passion and affection? The director should be shot.

In the first two seasons of MIR Tee always exhibited this quiet reserve which I found intriguing. It seemed he was often deeply thinking/considering whatever situation he was in...he never acted rashly (well, except for that first season/first episode boinking of Fuse, lol) and after that incident seemed deeply aware of and considerate of whatever Fuse or anyone else was feeling. Now in this first episode that same reserve just comes off to me as indifference or even slight annoyance.

Those graphic inserts on a blank screen of thoughts that Fuse and Tee are supposedly having are so telling...the director apparently chose to add those because there is no way to tell from the actors' interactions that any of those thoughts are being had. Maybe this will get better, I certainly hope so, but this first episode is a real downer.

Looked to me as if at the very end the prince and Long Yang rode off together into the night on that horse. So score one for the gay boys! Also, when Prince Yu and the evil bride were beginning to go for the sex action, it seemed to me that the Prince was either passed out or was extremely indifferent, to the point of laying there with his eyes closed like a dead man.

I don't really get the need for these strange, sex-less, antiseptic historical BLs to exist, but since they do exist regardless of what I think about it, I went ahead and gave this a 7. I enjoyed the gorgeous sets, costumes, makeup and hairstyles just as a visual (except for that one princess hairdo that looked like a dried-up wasp nest drooping to one side), and Prince Yu and his "Long" Yang were handsome and adorable. Plus, when all was said and done, the ending was as it should be. :D

Those palace women are some hard-core bitches, man.

Oh, and I've no idea how Long Yang managed to endure endless whipping, branding and othertortures for days on end without ever losing the ability to stand upright in his chains. ;D

Oh and also, why do so many Asian characters leave their clothes on to go swimming in places they should be skinny-dipping?

No one's perfect. :D

Progress! You've realized that you are impossibly delusional.

Did you want to go ahead and ask me for my phone number?

Thanks for the links! I think I will hold off on watching the vids til after the series is complete. Don't want my experience of the story to be effected by whatever is in those promos. But then again...you sure have gotten me curious. :D I like "different" in general. "Different" is the spice in life.

I'm with those who say YT is at least bisexual. His love for XZ is crystal-clear. He's simply unable/unwilling to experience the discomfort that would come from being openly in a relationship with a dude. So in a sad way, it was actually honest of him to refuse XZ, even though he loved him. What I didn't like, of course, was that he very well knew of his GAY feelings for XZ but also wanted to keep playing the homophobic straight guy role where other people were concerned. Which is fine, because in the end he is unworthy of XZ's affections anyway, and XB came along to bring all the milk to XZ's yard, or something like that. :)

That scene was beautiful in a way, but also ugly in that it showed YT as willing to throw XZ a little candy kiss now and then to keep stringing him along. He knew exactly what he was doing. And then to turn his back and so coldly walk away...that was cruel and unnecessary. So I loved when XB came to the rescue and demanded that YT treat XZ with respect. I can't remember XB's exact line, something like "he may not love me yet, but he is mine!" but it moved me deeply. YT's retort, something about being a "homo" showed YT's true colors and they weren't pretty.

I agree that YT is bisexual, definitely leaning gay at least where XZ is concerned. It was clear in the tenderness with which he treated XZ even while palling around at school, that XZ was the one he loved. We never saw that kind of easy, natural affection with that horrible girlfriend of his.

I don't know...I get the bittersweet elements were strong, but to me by the end XZ was totally on board with XB, even though he would always treasure his memories of YT as his first love. And that's fine, there's no need to pretend you didn't love others before finding the one you love for good. So I thought the ending was lovely and on the sweet side of semi-sweet.

8.5 from me. Love the actors and their acting!
