Half this episode was good. The other half was awful, made all the more awful by the death of Nora, an admittedly useless character, but still… And Zach lives! I kept wishing that Nora would grab Zach and throw the little shit at his mom and run. Hopefully, Zach will be transformed into a vampire and quickly have his…

I thought T2 wrapped up the franchise quite nicely, actually. I don't see the point of another Terminator film after the second one. And, given the sequels, no one making them seems to have been able to come up with a good reason to make them either. Except, of course, for greed and creative bankruptcy…

Jesus Christ. That's just so… so… Fuck you, Zack Snyder.

For Chrissake, let's all just let it die already…

Well, Carson is proof positive that you're right. I guess we can't judge someone's lack of intelligence by saying "he ain't no brain surgeon" anymore. But can we still say "he ain't no rocket scientist"?

Also, he was filmed giving what looked like a sermon to a church in which he goes on about how evolution is made up, climate change a hoax, and the universe is something like ten thousand years old. Watching him spew the dumbest nonsense I've ever heard come out of the mouth of a brain surgeon will almost certainly…

it just sounds like a bunch of stoned college kids talking about "ancient aliens" or something similarly dopey.

And the Chariots of the Gods bullshit was too on the nose. Dan O'Bannon at least had the decency to be discrete about it. (And, yeah, O'Bannon was big into the whole ancient astronauts thing.)

I felt the same way about the Space Jockey. Then Scott decided that they were giant albino humanoids. We went from Lovecraftian horror to Chariots of the Gods bullshit.

I've got a bad feeling about this…

And Zack nowhere to be seen this episode. He was not missed…

So can anyone explain to me why the military allowed Norrie, who has dormant alien lifeforce inside her, to join the Army?

In the process, he blots out all memories of the Lucas prequels and
manages to approximate that general feeling the original films provoked.

Nobody does the banality of evil better than Mr. Robot.

I'm not at all surprised by this announcement. The quality of this season's Under the Dome has improved markedly over seasons 1 and 2. Unfortunately, I don't think anybody watches this show for the quality of the writing. They hate-watch it because of it's nonsensical plots and cringe-inducing dialogue. When I saw…

I know that Roseanne had some not very nice things to say about Chuck Lorre, even going so far as defending Charlie Sheen. Apparently they've been feuding for like twenty years, even before, according to Roseanne, she fired him from her show. And, I thought Lorre's misogyny was obvious and common knowledge, he even…

Yes, I agree with the general thrust of what you're saying. I stopped watching this show around season four, then started watching it again this year, mostly in re-runs. At this point, I watch it with a degree of morbid fascination. I guess, in that sense, it can be considered "entertaining." That and listening to the…

They didn't need to jettison anyone. They added Bernadette and Amy, which despite your protestations below actually did give the show a desperately needed shot in the arm.

During the shootout with Zach's mom, I was praying that he'd somehow get caught in the crossfire or, at the very least, that he'd be dumb enough to jump in front of a bullet meant for his mom. The writer's really missed a golden opportunity to put this little shit out of our misery…

Presumably we’ll spend a few episodes—maybe the rest of this mini-season—trying to reunite Madison and Travis, right?
