"De Fans"?

I thought he gave Norman the side-eye, but I take it you mean he was alluding to Norma herself.

So edible!

Twist: It's Jan Brady.

He thinks Monroe is loafsome.

We're totally racist AND xenophobic, aren't we?

I guess you've gotten some good direction. I credit the key grip.

The show could do with stricter editing, too: Even within the same scene, the one where Irisa and the Deputy get romantic, there are two tones in quick succession. When she goes to kiss him back, she grabs his whole head and attacks him, which I associate with facile romantic comedies, but then we get the sidebooby…

Say this world has no magic in it (fair assumption). If she kills someone and nothing happens, that's anticlimactic. So she'll have to kill someone and then, by happenstance, something seemingly miraculous happens right after, and so she develops a following and unites blah blah blah.

And the elevator works?

Right: If not this particular ambassador, someone *else* would have catalyzed a war; we can assume that the economic temptation to do so is just too great for E-Rep to resist it.

Speaking of aliens, was the torturer trying to pass as another race? I thought we would be getting a reveal that his eyes were, after all, really blue.

How do you guys feel about the casual reveal at the end that the ambassador was released immediately, and that the arrest (unbeknownst to Amanda and Nolan) was merely for appearances' sake? It's cynical and realistic and therefore appropriate to this world, or a reset and copout? If she'd gone to prison, we would have…

I had the thought that the ambassador's polyandry was a way to introduce the possibility of Nolan, Amanda, and Kenya figuring out some sort of arrangement. At the very least, despite how easy it could have been to go that route, the show seems to have mostly avoided any sort of Madonna/whore division (I'm basing this…

I hope the Georgia President turns the tables on him somehow, which might be easy enough given how disgruntled his own men probably are. The best use of the Monroe character might be as liaison between the all-powerful Georgia President, who will have turned despot, and our Rebels. [I guess Tom Neville does this…

I want them to leave the atmosphere, mine the asteroid belt, and roam through space as a von Neumann swarm.

If she calls someone "Bub" next episode, it's settled!

I guess it's safe enough for Lily to get the hots for Robin when there's other people around; I'm thinking maybe the showrunners thought it would be too much if it's just the two of them.

*meaningful cough*

And the healing uses up calories or nutrients or something, right? Over the course of those ten weeks she would have been *eating*.
