Excellent point. Lester had to cut her off a couple of times.

Yeah I thought it was weird when Linda told Molly that leaving early was her idea.

The new Lester/Martin Freeman looks so much better. It must be a combination of things: his complexion, haircut and bearing, I guess?

Yes "mal" means bad. Malevolent as you say, or malware, etc.

Mushroom stamp?

Also the characterization of the bully was great. He was kind of stupid and I knew he'd have a shitty home life. The kids take his bullying as if it's just expected and how things work. Then they hang out with him because he's cool (?) and does stuff like blowing up garbage cans and laughs at the principle.

Kate jumped back into the fray quickly. Disappointed but not that surprised that the Julian Assange guy turns out to be a mercenary traitor working with the pro-government secrecy Chinese.

Wow what a powerful episode. Brought me back to my youth. The mom and science teacher were great. I wonder what Louie's "message" was and hope he responds to questions about the episode. There were the different reactions of the mother, the father, the teacher, principle, the counselor and even the drug dealer who…

Thanks, I knew I recognized him from somewhere.

Yeah I thought it established it was fun and a way for kids to connect, but also it was kind of mindless, transgressive rebellion like blowing up the restroom garbage can.

Good point. I forgot Cameron listed things he wants computers to do. And there's Joe's telling Gordon that it "isn't the thing, but the thing that gets you to the thing,"

Yeah maybe they'll go more into her backstory and how she became so good at coding in a field which is mostly male. Same with Gordon's wife.

Yeah the bathroom scene had me laughing when Selina was pulling random shit out of Gary's bag like a magnifying glass.

Stereotypes can still express an outlook. When Joe says the goal is four times as fast at half the price, Cameron complains that they're making the same old crap to sell, like a microwave. I'm wondering the same about the "mystery" of the show whether it will turn out just be a bunch of cliches and the same old…

Carmeron is sort of expressing my outlook as a viewer. Joe is "just" a salesman, same as Don Draper was just a salesman. And Cameron doesn't want their product to be "just" another "microwave" or whatever commodity. What is the writers' and showrunners' endgame? Will the product be something new or merely twice as…

I was wondering the same thing. He mentioned Compaq and Columbia Data as example of companies who were able to beat IBM legally and survive, right?

Probably like genetically modified seeds as people are saying below. The season opener had Rachel saying that Dyad had successfully lobbied the Supreme Court over something but I can't remember if Rachel specified what it was about or if she did.

Reading through the OP's past comments I really don't know what he's getting at. He lives in the U.S. near Canada.

Thanks for the info. Time magazine's June 6th issue (last week's) has a Transgender cover story arguing it has hit a tiping point. I haven't read it yet but will now take a look.
