I agree—any annoyance I had at the exposition-heavy nature of the episode was more than washed away by the connections made between what had been disparate puzzle pieces until last night.

If you ever get curious about the music the kids are listening to when I yell at them to get off my lawn and get jobs and lecture them about "uphill both ways" and the political cunning of Goldwater, Sky Ferreira cowrote a fantastic jam with Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) called "Everything is Embarrassing."

My soul is basically protomolecule and can withstand even the vacuum of space… but yeah, when he pushed Naomi into the airlock—and said they weren't done yet—a passing bit of rain got inside my house and landed near one of my eyes.
