It is interesting that their debate on having children is so much more interesting than his gangster stuff.

The true test is whether he's better as a bench.

That's a big…maybe? I was wondering if they were the same diamonds Wolfgang stole in Sense8.

That font deserves an Emmy.

It was how the statement made sense to me. What Rowan meant to say, once said, is irrelevant. Death of the author.

Using easy, but non-threatening, generalizations about gender behavior for humor is extremely common in sitcoms.

Except, did the uncle make Wolfgang his enemy, or did Wolfgang make the uncle his enemy? I'd say it was much more the second than the first. And Wolfgang had his reasons, and the uncle was a bad guy, but Wolfgang started the chain of events in a way that Capheus and Lito did not start theirs.

It's also arguable that more than any of the others he went looking for trouble by stealing the diamonds. The others arguably got dragged into violence against their will but he seems to have been looking for a fight (even if he hoped it would just be him stealing better than others did).

Plus, arguably any other situation is an upgrade from hers, and so she's grateful to get her equivalent of yard time.

It's interesting that they keep having him call Noni "Mike", and it still casting a pall whenever he does it (since he doesn't bring the baggage with the name that Mom does). I'm hoping in Season Two we have some sort of catharsis between Noni & Mike where she accepts that he's still a part of her. Seems like exactly…

Yeah, I thought survival instinct would kick in sooner, actually. Seems like the kind of organization where at least a few guys would say: "Maybe the boss should have left this guy alone after all. Let's go away and find out how things turned out later."

Also, it seemed as if she & Cepheus were willing to take it from the main guy, but taking it from some goon was just too much. As I write this, I wonder if it's the equivalent of getting insulted by her father versus by her brother.

My theory on that is that when the whole world was sensates, it was difficult to kill because you'd feel the death. The non-sensate mutation both made it easier for non-sensates to kill sensates and the other way around.

And the lie Lito told fed perfectly into his opponent's homophobia.

Yeah I made the exact same mistake after glancing at the imdb. (Misidentifying Diego, not having blackout encounter with Gabriel.)

They were going after a suspect who for all they were told was a pimp who tried to pawn some stolen goods.

And his shoulder mysteriously burned before both.

Yeah, the Long Good Friday connection made me wonder if the shootout guys were some sort of revolutionaries or terrorists, something neither the cops nor the gangsters were prepared for.

With a possible extra touch of "we put you on this detail in order to ruin you, so it would make no sense to take you off of it as a punishment."

I really liked the scene with her boss. Everything she said was true, and everything he said was true. She's right that the system's slanted against her, but he's right that she should have known better. "This wouldn't be happening to a man." / "Yes it would, except he wouldn't get to say THAT."
