I thought the “If Shy hadn’t called, you would be married right now” line was a good one, because it says everything there is to say.

But I think this is the end of Darlene’s anarchist, revolutionary spirit.

I realized that my last comment ignored the skeeviness of the Laurie/Jon relationship...even though it is definitely skeevy.

Oddly enough, bar-Manhattan really felt like V to me.

I agree. Superweird pickup in a bar. Presumably a dinner. And the next thing you know they’re picking out corpses in the morgue.

This isn’t important for the show to address, but it’s fun to wonder if everyone in China, or Russia, or Syria, or Venezuela would have gotten the same amount of money that everyone in Connecticut did? And do all of the homeless people in Connecticut have ecoin wallets?

Another thing is that we don’t really know how big this redistribution was.

I was thinking that the whole time too, since cellphones really have ruined a bunch of old movie cliches.

Speaking of the score, I’m surprised that the big Mr. Robot theme from Season 1 hasn’t really returned. There were maybe hints of it last week (or maybe during the dialogueless ep) but I was expecting a full-on reprise at some point before the end.

I think the Robinhood hack shows that Elliot and Darlene still have a pretty simplistic view of how the world works.

Yeah, I’m not sure that Elliott would actually care, or at least he’d be able to process it. But I think it would wreck Darlene (even more).

In the middle of the very long airport montage I was asking myself “Is Esmail really doing this?” but the missed connection made it all worthwhile.

I’m not convinced that the MCU versions of these characters can be anything other than incredibly bland.

Okay, that is fair.

Jenny Slater, and yeah, she’s got the look.

This is a totally unfair comparison, but I always worry that shows will go the Star Trek Voyager route, and will wait until there are 3 minutes left to tie up 7 years of stories. (disclaimer: Voyager is a bad show)

It’s definitely not explicit, and I am 100% just inferring. But the comics are pretty explicit about the preferences and affairs of everyone except Veidt. All we really get is Rorschach wondering if Veidt is gay.

Since we aren’t actually shown anyone, I’m still leaving it open to the possibility that it could be anyone. Maybe it actually is the FBI, with Dom leading the charge? Or maybe it’s Dom with the Irish gangsters, saying that they’re the FBI? Who knows.

...and thinking about it just a bit more, I guess I don’t like the idea of female-Jon-clone because of his talk with Laurie about how each individual human is a thermodynamic miracle.

That’s definitely a possibility. The question is where does Mrs. Crookshanks come from?
