wait, I thought that when white rednecks have drug problems it is considered a public health challenge. This isn't the urban crack epidemic we're talking about!

the "city" of Catlettsburg has 1,800 people. My hometown has 2,000 people and we have only two police cars (and a part time police force). Why do they need eight? And why are they concerned about their lives being at risk in such a small town?

I agree. Have you noticed that his voice was deeper in this episode?

“I fell in with a bunch of squatter types. Their leader was a drug-addled flautist and I watched his body get snapped in half on a choo-choo train.” I thought the word choice here sums up this show very well. Absurdism and pathos.

I thought the old car horn was actually well done. The first time I thought it was cute. Then the second time, ok. Then the third time I thought was pushing the joke a little far. The fourth time was annoying and the fifth time I realized "wait, they are holding up the parade, that's exactly what the car would be…

yeah I think it was the same reason that he didn't realise it had moved to avoid the mormon ship thing.

all that blacklight reminds me of Tron. I hope the actors didn't sunburned!

thanks!

I thought the time delay in the video call was a nice nod to reality as was the conversation about the asteroid acceleration. yay physics!

what did Mayakovsky shout when he woke up buried under the sawdust?

"you are just fancy scarf wrapped around idiot"

"take your balls out of your purse and drink"

a) is "jer-kay" an actual term? b) is doing a jer-kay in the office after hours to avoid "the wife and kids" an actual thing?

yeah interesting. It seems they are using for Mayakovsky's house too. Does he live in the real or the magical world?

yeah I agree. And mine was famous for being quite dysfunctional.

the guy who made the appalling sexist comment was strongly defended by British academia male and female (granted it did seem generational—but we both know that British academia is weighted heavily in the old/senile demographic). It is possible that as a white…

thank you!

yeah perhaps they manifest differently. I'm still surprised that the gun that was used to in the shooting that set off the London riots was "lost" by the police and no one really talks about it; or the pedophile ring set up by the rich and powerful.

yeah and interesting that Niska was in the heterosexual sex trade contrastingto her romantic orientation. I wonder if how a synth was treated before awakening affects their preferences and actions and personality after they awake. Sort of like Hester watching synths abused turns her into a sociopath.

in general yes. arrrrr matey! polly wants a cracker?
