I think he was insulting Broyles and the other Natives, especially given the racism evoked by an incredibly pale colonizer in a suit sneering at a very dark skinned "native" subordinate.

Thank you, Ms. Robinson, for throwing yourself on the YA grenades so that I don't have to.  Though I'll take a look at anything you find worthwhile as more than a fun diversion.  :)

Since that's the likely fate of every single character on this show, that hardly counts as a prediction.  :)

A few years ago, the Williams College Museum of Art had an exhibition of painters beloved by, and that influenced the art of, Adolf Hitler, as well as a few of the future Fuhrer's own works.  It actually was bland, sentimental kitsch, and my first thought in seeing Kinkade's work here (and this is the first I have

If we're pairing their names, surely Tyronvia is the obvious choice.

So, Eugene's cells are so transparent he's basically invisible, and he's spent his whole life pretty much completely cut off from everyone else?  That's a powerful metaphor for isolation.  Or it would be, if the premise of the episode wasn't egregiously stupid.

a middling episode
I have liked this show, and its plot, far more than most up to now, but I agree that this was a disappointment. This filler time could have been used better.
