Hazel, I’m definitely “suck my dick and choke on it.”

Yeah, this sounds way less than exciting. I’d rather just jerk off. Eeeesh.

I carry a USB battery that (1) can do fast-charging, and (2) has an enormous capacity so I never ever worry about it running out (I can get 15 full charges out of mine). I haven’t plugged into an airport power outlet in years.

If living in the United States is “so bad,” why not go to another place to live? Ana Alvarez, who was substituting at the school, asked the student, according to a handwritten statement from her.

Typical from the people who say “lefftenant.”

Or he is from the UK.  I have noticed, and it has been pointed out, that in the UK it’s very common to call it the ness.

“I just want to point something out: If you follow the rules, ‘ness’ implies that the SNES is pronounced ‘sness,’ 3DS is pronounced ‘three deess,’ and N64 is ‘nuh-sixty-four.’”

I think you are an outlier. I also don’t remember anyone referring to it as either the NES or Ness back in the day. It seems like in the late 80's and up until SNES was released most people just called it Nintendo. I honestly don’t remember many people referring to them as NES/Super NES/SNES until after the year 2000. 

Counterpoint: It’s been called N.E.S. in English since forever, Ars Technica had an article that pretty much cements that. One game vs. a shitload of precedent, the precedent wins. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/08/n-e-s-vs-ness-nintendo-complicates-the-pronunciation-debate/

Counterpoint 2: Additionally, I refuse…

It’s not a “plot hole” inherently but the sudden appearance of the only one of the sidekicks *not* to be invited was an extreme narrative convenience in an annoying way.

And then stop again.

It hits you at the end of the fourth episode. You have to get that far before giving up.

That’s about my takeaway, as well. The resolution of the whole BPO storyline did feel like several seasons’ worth of plot crammed into a single episode—which is most likely exactly what it was—so I can’t fault any of the review’s criticisms on that score. But still, all the emotional highs of one last reunion with the…

I’ll echo what Rowan says. If you get to the fourth episode and still think so, it’s not for you.

I take the opposite tack: for whatever weird plotting the show threw in, I got to hang out with my sensates one more time, had more musical sequences (the train party!), a final orgy, Nomi’s mom on space brownies, happy endings galore, and I generally ended up a misty mess as the credits rolled. This left me happy and…

Try to make it to the fourth episode.

eh, his reaction to learning the truth about Bernard left me feeling a little more murky about what kind of guy he really is, but I do hope he gets a heel/turn at some point to save Bernard and betray Delos. He already seemed to be heading that direction right before the big bernie reveal.

The hosts are programmed to die. Remember the scene with Delores and the Conferados where she shoots them, but has the tech bring them back?

Nice to see that they realized we have one of the best actors alive and given the opportunity lets use him to further the story.

Christ! Disappear aweady, bros.
