I mean, I don’t really care about anyone who owns a Dodge. They get what they deserve as far as I’m concerned, but you have to admit it is pretty shitty (though certainly not illegal) for a company to advertise they’re making something special with the baseline intent of it being special and then turn around and not…

Perfect example. I feel so bad for kids born to stupid parents. 

I let my daughter steer my car into the driveway with my feet firmly in control of the go and stop. That’s pretty damn different. I don’t care how well you think you can train a kid: if they’re not capable of even remembering that experience in long term then how the hell are you going to let them gas the car. 

A _three year old_? Tell me you’re not a parent without telling me you’re not a parent.

We’ll never know his intent now, since the cops killed him, but I think everyone can agree that if you’re carrying a gun on you, you’ve gotta be super fucking careful with how you behave with an officer. There’s being right and then there’s being dead. Even if he had no intention of firing on the officer, all of his…

It seems completely unreasonable in this day and age with airplanes that essentially fly themselves and cars that drive themselves, that trains could ever conceivably crash. They are on tracks, for Christ’s sake and we have a system to know exactly where each of them are at any given point. If one malfunctions, the…

Probably found getting enough qualified engineers to move to Texas (even Austin) was a hard sell. Palo Alto is spitting distance from Stanford. Musk can suck them right out of the university, milk them for a few years before they burnout, and vow never to work in tech again. 

Oh do shut up. Aziz cornered a girl for sexual favor and you’re going to quote him about using a fucking word. 

What are you on about? Movies establish “rules” or internal logic all the time.

Touch grass dude. I love Akira and anime but holy shit what are you talking about. 

That’s what you got? I thought it was about how everyone’s too damn ready to throw away their entire damn self for some fame and money. And too many opportunities to do it. 

“There’s also the larger matter of genre movies trying to bear the weight—constantly—of complex, traumatic, contemporary issues that often get mistaken, or wrongly prioritized, over the efficiency of thoughtful, measured, one-foot-in-front-of-the-other storytelling.”

No one here is upset that the end was “sad”. Of course that was inevitable in a show that meditates on the human condition. What were annoyed by are meandering and pointless story, lack of any relatable characters and tons of huge plot holes and loose ends that seem to not only have no feasible resolution, but…

I actually got this sense from Tessa Thompson. She was monologuing something and her face read something like “pretend you’re reading the voice over for an Audi commercial.” Of course her monologue was meandering and amounted to nothing. 

Even the outliers go extinct. She says something to the effect of “they may last weeks, months, even years, but they’ll die out eventually.”

Nothing optimistic about the end. It’s a conceit that nothing ever changes. If we are ending up in a place where we started, then we’re tacitly acknowledging that the “beginning” wasn’t actually a beginning. We just happened to pop into the story at the start of a cycle.

But hey, we wanna know if they deserve to live ok?

Helicopter. 

Could not agree more. The episode was aimless, literally no reveals or turns felt earned at all and the series seems to be completely pointless.

Like… without a doubt
