Do sharks even have skeletons?

I kind of agree here, but in the context that just as the message to men is to relentlessly pursue because it’s romantic, women are heavily instructed not to ever directly say “no” because the “male ego is fragile so he must be let down easy”. Ending concern for male ego is indeed one part of it.

If it’s any consolation, in season 2 Ansari becomes highly irritating.

wai-whu.. Hollywood is concerned about optics?

I liked the episode, but the quick-draw vignettes did lead to some of the most psychologically implausible moments I’ve seen in Black Mirror. Like, as soon as they said that guy’s wife could literally live inside his brain I was like OH GOD NO without needing months/years to elapse for me to know why all that…

Unless maybe Luke still needs some “Crazy Yoda”, in the way that he needed to see Artoo’s replay of Leia’s’s original message.

As well as Yoda, who in the afterlife wished to project the geriatric onset of practical-effects-muppet syndrome, typified by adorably kicky-legs during moments of joy.

My interpretation was that his MakerBot was some sort of highly controlled CRISPR he owns unlicensed, and that the DNA code is also digital fingerprint that can maybe pull some other existing digital brain scan in their ‘Verse, sort of like how San Junipero post-deceased residents work.

I think he burned alive, and remained burning alive for about five minutes until the dev environment began to autodelete.

As much as I hoped he’d die, didn’t he have that communication device that can send text messages and order pizzas? I assumed, unfortunately, he can just dial 911.

Any such collection that does not acknowledge the “interrogator droid” seems pretty half ass:

Post-Weinstein Hollywood is going to be a weird place for Tarantino. He may really need this.

The Federation would simply whip up a Genesis torpedo, maybe two for good measure, and fire it at that super-duper advanced Death Star planet they had in Star Wars VII.

They are now reporting that the laptop was actually her own, not his,which makes this less ethically clear cut. Whether she sold it to him with the spyware still on it intentionally is the question.

Oh yea, I forgot about that soon-to-come advancement. I wonder why it didn’t work out.

Shoutout to “The Groovy Gang” from Venture Brothers, a disturbing shadow-version spin on the 70's gang, in which Velma is a Valerie Solanas and Daphne is Patty Hearst.

It just occurs to me that the haircut was chosen precisely because it was already widely adopted. This is like when, during the Russian Revolution, a minority of radicals named themselves “bolsheviks”, literally “the greater” or “majority” to make themselves seem inevitable. Spencer did not go for the obviously…

Clearly no dreadlocks or ponytails going on with this bunch obviously, but these just look like basic 40's haircuts, right? The neo-nazi haircuts look different to me.

That would explain everything. What made it so excruciating was the pacing- like listening to a rambling person going on and on and on when you assumed you were just going to get one lightly comedic situation and then Coco. 21 minutes, the three act structure, that must have been it.

If I have a complaint about Lorca, it isn’t that there can’t be a compromised captain, it’s that he’s *uninterestingly* compromised in such an extreme way that it’s leading to ludicrous plot and characterization.
