If I recall the plan was to wrap up the dust-bowl story after one more season, then flash forward for two seasons of a carnie-setting in say, 1960, then flash forward again for a two season finish in modern times. Some same-actors the whole way through - some recast. Still, gimick aside, I’m sure it would have…

I’m about sold on Harvey’s suggestion below that it’s Maeve’s daughter in Charlotte’s body. It checks all the boxes and comes with the additional perk of being leverage over Maeve. Of course if it plays out this way, the kid would be doomed. The show seems hell-bent on pitting Delores and Maeve against one another.

Way at the end of all the comments here, I do want to mention that even though I’m enjoying this show, it has always seemed a stretch to pit Maeve against Delores. The two strongest characters on the show - once the revolution began - were kept apart due to plot back-flips. They crossed paths - what? - twice? And said…

Not bad. It might jive with her reaction to the pedo with the puppy.

Good catch. Delores would crawl into bed to comfort a fragile Clementine. She would not do that for William (I don’t think). I agree Teddy would be confusing. It’s a fun parlor game. It could be that Charlotte Hale’s soul is actually in there - at war with Charlotte Hale the copy/host - trapped in a kind of hell the…

- said your mom.

Harry Nilsson poured his guts into the songs so much so that I wish Popeye could make a stage musical comeback - with the same music!

Clementine. Thanks. I was trying to remember her name. I put Clementine above Armistice. Delores didn’t have much to do with Armistice in seasons 1 & 2 ... unless by scanning all the files, Delores knows everyone intimately now ... so maybe she would trust Armistice as a partner and confidant. “I own you now” suggests…

Yeah, “Who is Charlotte” is a good mini-mystery to keep stringing along for awhile. I too dismissed Teddy. He put a bullet through his head-ball, didn’t he? Next I thought maybe it was her father, the elder Mr. Abernathy, but IDK. Could be ol’Ed Harris. Delores didn’t really have a relationship with Armistice, so I…

We had golems on Hunters, a golem on The Magicians. Now a golem here. Golems, golems, golems! Golems to the left of me, golems to the right of me! I can’t get away from golems!

Everything’s coming up golems these days. Golems are trending.

I adjusted my sense of disbelief to accept that people in this version of the future just bond and get really lovey in a hurry. They’re huggers, these future people. I’ll grant them this weirdness.

Maybe this crew in season 2 will be completely amoral and murder-happy. Picard, emboldened with his new body, can start tossing around the F-Word. Could be fun.

That got a laugh out of me too. The clothes! Classic goofball Trek.

I was hoping it would have been Geordi at Data’s death bed. They could have phoned him up. Geordi and Data always seemed to be better friends.

Robbie is so good in this movie. The way Harley ticks off psychoanalytical commentary from time to time just floored me. The physical comedy, my god. Coming out of paralysis on the couch ... roller skate stomp-kicks ... yes, the love for the egg sandwich. There’s this one second bit she does with her eyes (I wish I…

It has a Hondo vibe for sure. One of the cards Ahsoka could play later on if she has to.

Really interesting take on action transitioning from good to crap over a decade. The transition period for me was when The Rock and Con-Air came out. I was a movie theater manager back then and I fucking hated both those movies - and we couldn’t drop them; they kept doing gangbusters business. Face Off might have been…

Tonight would also be The Magicians’ 5th and final musical episode. They’ve blown up since Season One’s classroom single scene (Shake it Off) to Season Two’s Eliot-needs-gumption number from Les Miz. Season Three’s quest season culminated in a full episode of songs that finished with a near-perfect Under Pressure.…

C’mon DC Universe, let’s see some of that sweet corporate-copycat action.
