They reviewed & dismissed the pilot. Better than that reviewer.

Yes social anxiety disorder is his diagnosis. Plus he does a lot of self-medicating.

IImpotence is one of the consequences of chronic lead exposure.

Watching the guarded yet fraught glances between Faith & her friend as Faith asked about Gran was enough to cue the viewer that their relationship was important, close and under strain from the separation while Faith had been out of town for the show. Rachel is personally and professionally adept at feeling other…

Yes, if he sent his sister all the way to LA…well in the 1990s it had the biggest population of Koreans outside of Korea, as well as of course all the Salvadorean political refugees from the 1980s & a much larger black community than today as well as of course the many descendants of the Spanish settlers & many…

Yes, it's a real diagnosis, but a very broad general one, like "brain damage" or "arthritis." You can diagnose lead paint poisoning by taking a lead blood level,(which must have already been done for him)and if the level is very high as in acute exposure do chelation to bring it down. The point of the MRI would be…

Isn't it encephalopathy just a basket term, ie. the latin for "brain damage" & "toxic" just the best guess as to cause? Wish Doc had shared what areas were damaged, especially re the mood swings.

Fresh points! The reviewer mostly repeated his thesis from past weeks ad nauseum(the less Joe the better) and recapped.

I guess I hoped that viewers would pick up on the demographic "innate bias" as strongly as they picked up on the surveillance angle. And that the writers would overcome their innate biases to write at least one character who questioned/was aware of the homogeneity in contrast to the the U.S. & world of that decade.…

Sad that the next sep after heavy handed tokenism is "beyond race" back to the stereotyping, where Asians are shown without speaking in the classroom or at work but without sex lives and black people are the go-to for violence. Of course most actors take any part & rationalize it.

I've lived in Cambridge, and in many ways it's a small town(and gown). the cops not only would know a longtime Harvard professor especially one who lived practically on campus. He was much more likely to have Townie resentment of an elite corduroy jacketed "uppity" type combined with unconscious bias and the…

Weird, we just watched it this week, too & a 92 year old who hadn't heard of it figured out the "twist" as soon almost as soon as the voice of the gone girl started narrating her diary. And the policewoman brave enough to barge in during FBI questioning but too threatened to properly present an analysis of how gg got…

Yes, if only NPH had done that scene!

Synanon was way creepy, because it recruited/used drug addicts, had liberal cred like HomeBoy Industries has now, and centered on a giant building across from the "family" public beaches in Santa Monica.

clickbait in this age of tv gore

Thought I was a pretty cynical hate-watcher of The Bachelor/ettes until I saw the first two UnREALs! Knew about the editing, but now when the guy I find most adorable comes in with the hokey idea that the bachelorette should give him a haircut(he already had a cool one), I feel sick to my stomach because I know some…

Wasn't he a bragging but about to be fired IT guy?

He seems cold, arrogant, and better looking than the others they've cast as programmers. BAck then the advice for hyperventilation was blow into a paper bag. Taking complete control of someone like he did is not something an average person would do. The skill set didn't fit with his personality or his job, so maybe…

Could it be showing how impatient & destructive he was acting—physically as well as conceptually in not testing Sonaris?

The first two usually don't start that way. ALS often balance & coordination—falling all of a sudden. MS vision symptoms often. MD mostly is apparent by age 2 or 3 & affects the large muscles like the legs, rarely the shoulder girdle. It seemed impatient, pissed off and potentially self-injurious, like his digging…
