Buddy, I don't know how you use and escalator but they are pretty much just stairs.

Look, there is nothing in fiction I find more frustrating than a failure to be clear over whether something is supposed to be a mystery. Is it meant to be mysterious, or did they just fuck up? Being unclear whether a plot point is supposed to be a mystery is arguably worse than simply fucking up.

I guess one of my problems is: This is the future, right?

Cmon dude, "Wait until the season is over!" is the lamest defence of a plot hole.

I'd absolutely agree that it was a gorgeous cover and an excellent choice for the scene (at least superficially), but I continue to not understand what the show is trying to do with that motif.

Oh thank god I guess it was a plot twist then and not bad writing.

Yeah like a Top 10 most joyous thing I've ever seen in a movie.

Yeah not gonna happen. He'd cease to exist if he weren't making movies.

I have become retroactively embarrassed for ever watching The Apprentice or accepting Donald Trump into my life in any way.

He's a horrible distillation of GOP rhetoric and policies, without any of the pretence or the supposedly palatable disguise of Marco Rubio &c.
