Hotel Reverie

Dreadfully awful and got worse as it went a long.

I think the premise was great, the execution was terrible. There would be zero people in the world who would want to see that movie and I feel the "classic" just was poorly done - supposed to be a Casablanca type movie but came across as a bad "doesn't think seem like an old timely movie?" that was awful. It felt forced.

Also the lead actress was not a good actress and couldnt pull that part off - some of her scenes in the old movie were cringeworthy.

I think the premise was great. I would have liked to have seen it done differently. And don't get me wrong, I support LBGTQ 100%, this just was just not good.

Just my opinion. I'm good with teh downvotes

I know a lot of people are calling this episode unwatchable or skipping it entirely, but Hotel Reverie did something to me that I honestly can’t explain and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

It gave me a feeling I haven’t had since Hang the DJ or San Junipero… but maybe even more bittersweet. This wasn’t just another love story it felt like a dream I somehow stumbled into. One of those vivid dreams where, when you wake up, you lie there with your eyes closed, wishing you could go back… even though you know you can’t. The world moves on, but you remember. And the memory hurts, but in a beautiful way.

There’s this one line Kimmy said “Don’t worry, it’ll reset to the scorpion scene. She won’t remember a thing.” That shattered me. It made me think about how love, time, and memory can all exist in such fragile little bubbles and how sometimes, the person you loved doesn’t even know it ever happened.

I know people are saying the acting was off but honestly? That awkwardness is what made it work for me. It gave the episode this weird, uncomfortable realism, like a vintage romance trapped in a digital space. It was awkward, but still intimate like watching something that wasn’t supposed to be perfect, but wasn’t trying to be. It kept me hooked in that quiet, aching way.

I found comfort in this episode even in the sadness. I felt connected, in awe, melancholy, full of reverie… all at once. It gave me a kind of emotional ache that I almost want to hold onto, because feeling something that deeply even from fiction reminds me I’m alive.

Hotel Reverie wasn’t just an episode to me. It was a feeling. And I wish I could replay it in my heart like it was the first time over and over again.

I just truly wonder if anyone else felt this way as well with this episode.

Did people not like this episode? I just finished watching it and checked out some reviews, but the majority of the feedback doesn’t seem too positive. I really liked it personally. What did you think ?

I am sitting here writing this through tears, that broke my heart in fucking two.
