And 24 did that a number of times. The first time the bomb explodes in an unpopulated area of the Mojave Desert thanks to the sacrifice of a CTU agent. The second time was an edge case as an incoming missile with nuclear warheads was downed above the city with limited loss of life. Finally, there was a nuclear…

I would love for a line or two in the show disclosing this. It certainly sounds reasonable to me.

No she did not. The philosopher's stone is a truly ancient substance; it is literally the stuff of legends. But we live in the here and now and for many the first association anyone has with the Philosopher Stone is with Rowling's story.

And zeppelins! They were everywhere.

On the fate worse than death, it occurred to me that being tossed unprepared into the Speed Force could be pretty awful.

Maybe Barry did change the future outcome, just not in the way he hoped he would.

I prefer Shogun (or even Shogunate) World myself.

In the first episode (in the scene on the train inside the park) there is a guest who tells another guest that on his first visit he brought his family. On his next visit he confides that he went evil and had one of the greatest time of his life.

For the firearms in the park, I think it was the ammunition and the robot builds that determined whether a gunshot caused injury or not. After all, guns do not kill people, but the bullets can. Besides it is easier to program the programs to implement trauma when being struck by 'simunition' than it is to program…

I believe that Maeve already had consciousness by the time she boarded the train. Maeve was aware of what she was and how she was different from the humans. She understood that she could have agency and that her actions had consequences. But like many human beings, she was still a subject to a behavioral loop. So…

Logan was not depraved. He was a gamer and a playboy, which may not be productive pursuits but are not necessarily evil. Furthermore, it was rational for him to see the androids as nothing more than simulacrums… dolls if you will. What is more, Logan showed joy when he thought William had stopped being a schemer…

The humans dying at the hands of robots would disagree. But Ford did redeem his friendship with Arnold by taking the robot side, so there is that.

If memory serves, in an early episode Robert Ford calls back to this by noting that humans could detect the androids by shaking their hands.

I enjoyed the parallel paths betwixt Robert Ford and Arnold Weber's relationship and that of Logan and William. At the middle of the series Robert and Logan appeared to be outright bad guys. By the end of this year's run, Robert finds his measure of redemption and Logan is driven to despair and perhaps madness as he…

And yet Logan constantly reminded us that William was not all that he seemed.

And that joy should have turned to dismay when Armistice and Hector emptied their P-90s and then had to change magazines. I suppose we could not avoid the annoying trope of unlimited ammunition for automatic weapons.

Tune in next season and I hope we will all learn his and Elsie's fate.

And so it begins…

If memory serves, David Milch said he feared using 19th century profanity would make the characters sound like Yosemite Sam.

So for the Japanese robots area, was the logo SW: Samurai or Shoganate World?
