Was it to show how pompous, tedious, and self-important Whiterose is, and her need to let everyone know she knows more than them? She did it with Elliot by being oblique, witholding info, limiting access & time. In male powerbroker drag, she must suffer by "wasting" time to achieve her goals (tho it's painful for

By "spoiler" do you mean "foreshadowing" "hintt," or "clue?" Or did you you use "spoiler" because you think it was a bad thing, and spoiled the plot of Season 2 & ruined it for anyone who hasn't seen Season 2?

You know what he said was more like "No evidence he's a fresh, original or thought-provoking satirist who is respectful to women like Stewart & Colbert" or "those jokes weren't funny in the 1960s when they were first told."

It's geography not diversity.

Because it is perfectly symmetrical like artificial created cleavage, but without the 3-D bowling bowl effect of the most often seen implants. 2D, not 3D.

Great timing, Corn Pone! And no matter what tone of voice you say it in, it's funny!
But of course irl, white guys are the victims(affirmative action, political correctness, lack of respect, illegal immigrants taking their jobs, etc. etc.) and tragically cannot enjoy the privileges they still have for fear of losing

The reviewer is confusing fashion with sexuality.

Yes, they are works of art, or at least a high fashion spread, very posed, all cheekbones & costumes decorated with blood. Their speeches are usually ponderous, pretentious and stilted, time fillers between attacks.

But wasn't Elliot's lingering look at the popcorn machine where Darlene hid the gun a major foreshadowing that Eliot or Mr. Robot wi;; be using it? Remember Mr. robot waving a gun around before?

Great example! How can a professional dancer, let alone dance critic, not remember the particular bodies & abilities in such a popular routine, even if they don't remember the faces & names? I would totally believe the "senior moment" defense if he fumbled hesitated or couldn't come up with a name, but not this.

The typecasting the show always did "sexy long-haired, girl spunky girl, untrained adorable kid who miraculously picks up technique in six weeks", etc etc. was scripted for dummies, but it's also what/how Nigel thought & expressed himself. This season is the best in breaking through some of that & the least smirkingly

He has a particular blind spot in patronizing, condescending and stereotyping along racial and gender lines in addition to dance genre dance snobbery .His commercialism seems to have motivated him to try to learn a little about currently popular/lucrative dance styles, but not much or enough.

"More's the pity" sounds like a Nigelism. They are all three repetitious from week to week as well as within each episode, but at least the others let someone else script a few of their run-on reiterations. Nigel always ad-libs his "re-iterations."

But the synths don't grow up, so she always had the appearance of a grown up women even when Leo was a child. Why David Elster choose to make extremely attractive multi-ethnic sentient synths rather than Veras might tell us something about his motives & values, or at least his aesthetic preferences.

But since her mother was a bitter angry cruel woman who had no love for her only daughter & never reconciled with or forgave her,wouldn't she be the last person to give her good advice about how to mother a teenage daughter?

Yes, so moving and yet so puzzling—how/why does one sentient synth develop compassion and trust in unworthy humans and a true humility very different from synth programmed subservience while lacking the uglier human emotions like vengeance, tribalism, scorn, arrogance, prejudice, etc? Were his experiences so different

But this ignores the whole point that the sentient synths could have all the ugly, vicious, genocidal human emotions and motivations in simple or complex form as well as the tender ones. If they have the capacity to pray for faith and feel despair, how could they not have the capacity to feel temptation, jealousy,

Because pop astronomy that's recently been in the news struck the reviewer as sciencey enough and less trouble than learning about AI or the singularity or science fiction and he had been shot down on emotional analysis & was supposed to do more than a simple recap?

Yes,A.V. Club should bring in a new reviewer who hasn't seen the British version to watch the AMC version only & write reviews for each episode based on seeing what was broadcast on AMC. They can retitle these as British version reviews.

Yes. A.V Club is paying him to watch the British version only. The reviewer has never once reviewed the AMC episode—-maybe one reason his focus & reactions have been so skewed from the beginning. Not just a plot detail fail, but a theme, focus, and perspective fail.
