I couldn’t believe the contrived extortion plot. Wouldn’t it illegal, and if the guy sues he would have no case since his brother was burglar who broke into Larry’s property, robbed him, and tried to get away. It was all his fault. Larry honestly could plead ignorance on the fence (he acted like he truly didn’t know).

Colorblindness making camouflage less effective is absolutely a real thing. Of course, me and Brother Dawn are screwed whenever someone tries to make something stand out by using red and green to “contrast” at the same value and saturation.

On the one hand, it’s looked like a recording at the time because things were fading in and out. On the other, Lewis Pirenne said they put Seldon in a coffin of how own design and making which sure sounds like it was actually a disguised escape pod.

The bit with Hari was glitching in and out so I just assumed it’s a hologram not the living Hari?

However, this decision does explain why the ship Gaal landed upon was locked against her, which thoroughly discredits my thesis from last week’s review.

I don’t think that part is meant to be taken literally - my thought was that it was just a manifestation of the fact that the Mastermind was not, in fact, the real Elliot.

Yeah it seems like “change your month/year” money rather than “change your life” money. And that’s making a lot of very generous assumptions that probably don’t hold.

Money is not just money. Currency has value because it has backing. Whoever the issuer is (usually countries) are credible and stable. When you see a country go to shit for whatever reason (corruption, war, economic collapse, etc), its currency value tanks. If a country can’t function, it can’t back its currency. It’s

Not sure if I’d call it a big mistake, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing him. Turning Jian-Yang into Colonel Kurtz worked for me, too, but even if they had him in shadow in the back of that scene, I would’ve been satisfied. Hell, maybe he didn’t even want to do it.

Not bringing in T.J. Miller at the end was a big mistake. Erlich was such a brilliant character who was a huge part of the show’s greatness; it never fully recovered from his departure.

Dinesh was always good for a comic moment but I think out of all of them I am going to miss Gilfoyle most of all. The deadpan stare/delivery and his utmost belief he was the smartest and most righteous person in the room at any given moment made him a standout from the start.

I think the flash forward documentary does a good job of softening the blow. These guys becoming billionaires would go against the spirit of the show, but nobody wants to see these characters living in the gutter either. Flash forward shows that they’ll have to swallow their pride, but they’ll be alright.

Might just be me but felt it was super obvious that Jian Yang was going to be revealed as Erlich in the jungle. I mean earlier in the episode they have a scene where Jian Yang finds out Erlich is rich and takes off.

It doesn’t. It’s been estimated several times over that if you redistributed all of the world’s money which is guessed at $241 Trillion, every human being gets $51,000 at best. Great if you’re in dire, penniless, poverty, but for a middle class American, it’ll just mostly go into paying off whatever debts you owe, and

So it’s only me that hated the reveal that his dad was sexually abusing him? Felt like a cliché.

It could be, I suppose, that the father knew his daughter’s character better than we do, and that he thought there had been no assault, but out of duty to protect his daughter could not come out and say so.

How on Earth was the cheapest ticket you found for a Tigers game THIS YEAR sitting at $100? Did you ask some guy on the street?

They can’t get rid of interleague play. There are 30 teams, 15 in each league. Without interleague play, one team would have to sit home every single weekend. Meaning they would have to either cut the schedule to 150-ish games or extend the season by weeks.

The Big Moral Issue: Bran is very cryptic from the point where he gets to the previous 3ER. After crossing the wall back to the ‘south’ he doesn’t say anything that makes too much sense, and creeps people out by making comments about things he could only know if he was seemingly omniscient. While the books will flesh

In a second. The situations are not even remotely comparable; the Cubs are the #1 team in a major media market, #2 or #3 in the country depending on how you count it (the Cubs never threatened, at least not recently, to leave Chicago, but would love to get away from that horrible Wrigley if they could). The Packers
