The jokes in the acronyms: V = virus, M = machine.

She could have given Peter the order to kill her, had him refuse and have Walter shoot her before anyone noticed he found that gun lying around.

@avclub-089627fe2e24173090e1bb5dbf215092:disqus because the observers are stupid and pointless and should have been left unexplored.  Until now, nothing they've done has had any lasting importance that couldn't have been acheived by a poorly timed coffee break and a life preserver.

So who were these people counting on to kill her at the last possible second when they let her jet off in a helicopter with her boyfriend to look for the guy who needed her alive for his evil plan to succeed?

Oh, that was the joke. Robert came out with Wallace, said his name, and everything stoped for a seconds while people looked at the cameras in silence.  I didn't even realize he said a different name than usual, so I was completely confused. Good job, Office, I guess.

@avclub-cb3a1f7e970abd661e560f13793f9987:disqus Now I'm imagining an office where instead of ever showing him speak, Robert would call people into his office anytime things grew heated, and they would walk out smilling a few minutes later.

My theory, this isn't even the current future.  In the original jump forward, it implied that the device was a collaborative effort by many Walters over many timelines, each new Walter adjusting it to fix new problems that arise in the timeline and sending it back in time for Peter to activate.  This may be the…

Did the internet do something to change this, or is that just how you mark time?

It is not about whether you think she got too much money, or if you think she should have lost the case.  A lot of people are arguing that she never should have been able to bring the case to court.  I think if you walk into a restaurant completely healthy and walk out with disfigured genitals, you have the right to…

I like to imagine, that in the second season, they are too afraid to reopen it because they think that the dinosaurs have learned to use bombs.  More likely, the portal moved to a new location so they have to rebuild the entire facility.  Even more likely, given the quality of the writting so far, they have to rebuild…

I thought they only had the one, and were planning on bringing more back later.

Meh, I'd be doing that all day long if I was living in dinosaur times, just like the oregon trail.  Jim's face directly afterword was the best part, I don't think he showed half as much rage to anything else that happened, even when his son was getting beaten by a bar full of mercenaries, as he did in response to the…

It took me a couple reads as well.  "She hasn't had anything eating up her time like…", is how that phrase would usually go.  She had a lot of time to learn how to swim is what @avclub-12424fc9df6acac0b24c955f29a981a8:disqus is getting at.

Calling BS on the terrorist angle.  They don't use any kind of blocking to stop your phone from working, they don't even look at it to make sure it's off.  They just ask you to do it.  These are not the actions of someone trying to prevent terrorism.  You could keep the phone turned on in your pocket and no one would…

This is the first time I commented since the revolution.  I just wanted to let you know, that when it comes to poorly considered user names, it could be a lot worse.  Now back to hiding my shame.

Wasn't supposed to be Troy's Birthday episode though? 14 days from the Rowboat cop one.

Well, she was a receptionist a year or two ago and was still in her mid to late 30s. She could still be in panic mode, making as much money as possible to make up for lost time.
