Yep. He must have some type of power that manipulates the digital world and can pull objects from it into our reality. And somehow he is able to create a bridge between realities with an object - in this case, a sword.

If one were to isolate the argument to age only, then your view is actually quite ageist. However, I see your patriarchy point, and it's a valid one, of course.

Because then later showing she is with a man is the way the writers are clarifying that she's bisexual. Not sure what you're not getting.

Yes he did. A VERY nice ass.

Actually, at a rate of a new iphone model every two years, in 2075, you'd be up to an iphone 36.

Sooooo, Ethan tells Kate that he'll take her to see what is really outside the walls for herself, to prove it to her, but (conveniently) that there's no time for that right now. GOOD GOD, THE WRITING ON THIS SHOW IS RIDICULOUS.

When she said that line about, (and I'm paraphrasing here…) "We had to put up with some 'reckonings,' but…." I almost laughed out loud. That hand-waving line was supposed to absolve her character? Puhlease….

"What would it be like for a straight woman to be cared for so personally by a fit male synth?"

Here's my problem with red velvet: It's paired 99% of the time with cream cheese frosting. In my humble opinion, cheese has no business being anywhere near a dessert item !!!! I want my damn red velvet paired with BUTTERCREAM frosting. It's rare to find a red velvet cake or cupcake with buttercream frosting, but when…

They don't have access to 2095 technology. They were all frozen closer to 2014, including the scientist, teacher, nurse and the original sheriff. The 2095 tech is all decaying behind the giant wall.

The surveillance and executions seem like they would cause a revolt even though they are supposedly designed to prevent such a thing.

They want the kids to have some normalcy and parent figures to guide them but they don't want the adults to know anything because they know they will go mad or revolt.

Well there is definitely no way humans can evolve naturally in just 2000 years. His genetic manipulation must be the writer's hand waving explanation for what happened. But even THAT is bad science. You aren't going to alter a mammalian species like that in just 2000 years even with genetic manipulation.

Maybe that scene with the sheriff being called happened in 2014 and the 4028 office is a mock-up. Ethan got taken and we see a flashback of his wife deciding to hunt for him. And the sheriff phone call from the scientist is a flashback as well and Ethan is still in hibernation after just having been taken.

Mike, have you thought about Ativan or Klonopin? It might help just a tad. Ask your PCP.

No. That was a flashback scene, I suspect. And so was the scene with the cop screwing around under the hood of the car. Ethan was taken first and then his family went looking for him. The scenes with Ethan trying to call home and call work took place after he was unfrozen. And the family went looking for him right…

Hey, here's a crazy idea. GROW THE HELL UP, or change the channel.

Pretty much the most ridiculous of reviews. This was probably one of the best episodes of the series so far; an absolutely solid A. Perhaps you were watching some other show?

They try to explain away the whole "they can just talk to her whenever they want by getting in her head" thing by the quick conversation that the brothers have about being under strict orders (I figure by either Bonnie or Elena) not to open the coffin, to protect Elena from anyone who might want the cure. But really,…

You should absolutely watch The Originals. Not sure what show the other responders were watching, but it's excellent. And it is currently firing on all cylinders, as the saying goes around here.
