About 1/3 through Ready Player One, and I hope it gets as good as it's supposed to be cuz so far I'm not really feeling it. So much of the world and technology seems like a poorly-thought-out ripoff of other things, and much like the contest within, the book seems to think 80s culture has some inherent value worth…

Are we still allowed to like this show? I feel like it's gotten a lot of backlash.

Generally haven't watched those, but I'm hoping "Man in the High Castle" is good. I like that kind of alt-history stuff.

And introducing Sunita Mani as Chelsea Peretti.

About as fair as letting which content is okay to produce be dictated by how the lowest common denominator reacts to it.

Yeah, this is basically them trying to keep people aware of it by tying it to a mostly-obsolete content delivery system. Which sounds about right for NPR.

Exactly.

Or: "OMG I MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND CONVINCED MYSELF IT WAS ONE THING DESPITE IT CLEARLY BEING THE OTHER"

(McCown hides under Sean O'Neal's lifeless robo-corpse in hopes of avoiding the bitter end.)

I was honestly surprised everyone thought he was supposed to have died there. As I was watching it I thought "oh, George Melton's gonna fall on him and protect him with his corpse", and that seemed to be happening, but it was shot in such a way that I wasn't sure what they were trying to convey. So yeah, the fact…

(This all comes off as more critical than I intended. If Homeland is going to continue down the path of insanity, I'm totally on board.)

This episode really felt like Homeland itself going off its meds. I actually really liked the idea of Carrie using her bipolarity as a tool, which could've made for a really compelling bottle episode, "The Weekend" but with a different red head. But to have it descend into yet another hallucination about an ex-lover…

I'm actually kind of impressed to learn that they didn't bring this character back in some later-season episode. That's one obscure reference they haven't brought out of obscurity to shit on… yet.

Interesting — Roku is how I watched it, and this thread is the first time I've ever heard about the show having ads. I was wondering how Yahoo expected to make money if they neither charged for subscription NOR showed ads.

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

See I've always heard it as "car hole", but maybe I'm wrong.

I wanna market myself as a Professional Dupe for those "real people" commercials. I promise I will believe whatever you tell me and be super surprised by your reveal.

It was fun in an bad-at-it-but-still-addictive sort of way. Gorgeous too. But there not being any sort of single-player kills it for me. I'm not super interested in just playing online multiplayer battles over and over again.

Is there where sexting is.
