Gave up on the plausibility on this show when way back on Apollo 24 Deke Slayton tossed away their LM along with the SPS, complete with its own engine and fuel, causing a new crisis in having to get reeled in by that first hail mary pass involving a bottle of gas over the moon. Still scream at the TV once in a while…

Thanks for that YouTube line, man!

Very cogent comments, CogentComment!

Reminds me a little of someone I know who is not long for this world, sadly. Talented, funny, and has such a bright light you can’t help but be drawn to, but so very troubled due to compounding trauma, brought on by some of the individuals in their life. It’s sad and unfair, and brings on a pervading sense of…

“Oh my God, you killed Karen”, and the Stevens boys still walk their respective planets. As ever, CogentComment, Alex and others have covered most of my reactions. I see some of you didn’t care whether Karen lived or died, but hers was one of the stories I wanted to see next season. I was looking forward to her being…

Thanks for providing great review instead of just the AV Club’s episode play-by-play.

Let’s start with the season as a whole: Meh.

The bombing was well founded but it was horribly executed because they only showed the surface level of the collapse of the oil/gas industry. They actually needed to show it instead of talk about it for the bombing to make sense.

As one born in 1967, I think this article sells short how big Olivia was in the early 70s. “I Honestly Love You” and “Have You Never Been Mellow” made her a huge success is the States. While that success may have “led to” her casting in Grease, she was cast in Grease because she was already a bankable star, not a…

I think it was one of the best shows on TV before this season and the main reason it is now just a very good show is how they handled Danny. He’s my main problem. Before that there were soapy elements, but people rarely went out of their way to do dumb things like putting him on Helios’ mission for the sake of the…

Plus, you still need petrochemicals for lubricants, plastic, and a host of other materials and fluids.

Very, very well said.

Thank you for the actual review, opposed to the summary above.

Sadly, I probably won’t get to it until Sunday. Headed out of town to see people and do things like it’s 2019 baby! (Except now 100% outdoors with 100% more N95 masks)

Thank you. I’m confused at the A rating here. Vulture liked the episode, too. Their review gave it 4/5 stars. I don’t understand either. The only solid plotline was Aleida’s, and like you pointed out it could have been much tighter. I did like her interaction with her husband (is he an ex at this point? I think he…

I think when the president is your boss and is trying to fuck you, then that level of coercion is sort of hard to even imagine for us average folk. that doesn’t remove Lewinksy’s autonomy like everyone tries to argue, it just recognizes that the consent in their relationship isn’t so black and white.

What a bizarre interpretation of this movie. I watched it over the weekend, and all I saw was a young woman who felt invisible and unspecial, and made a stupid mistake which led to a series of poor decisions. She was genuinely annoying and unlikable, but there was nothing presented about “white entitlement” or…

Your comment had more of a review than the actual review, which is basically 98% plot summary without anything substantive to say about the episode. 

Oh thank god somebody said it.

Yeah, get the family affairs sorted out now while everyone’s lucid; you’ll get the best plan without feeling ghoulish about it if someone finds themselves in declining health. Feels like a responsible, practical exercise to be handled and set aside rather than a negotiation.
