The "and now here are some random ladies out of nowhere to fondle you while I go do something else" bit right at the end of their meeting left me wondering exactly who those ladies were and what their deal was. Slave owners seem like exactly the kind of people who wouldn't even notice that those women were, well,…

There are a lot of Sparrows out there too, with weapons and a very good knowledge of the city. I'm guessing the Tyrell army wouldn't find the city a very safe place, no matter how well provisioned they are.

She did her best to sell it to them as a good idea, but deep down it's really not one, or at least not one for them.

This is basically the same starting point as Robocop though, isn't it.

This was kind of anticlimactic, to be honest. "Where do those newborn extras come from?" "Their parents bring them to casting calls!"

The interesting thing is that just like habaneros and scotch bonnets most of those super hot chillies have really interesting/wonderful flavors in them. You'd have a hard time telling it if you bit into one - they're strong enough that you'd have a hard time telling it from smelling them. But when put in sauce or…

That cat was an experiment! If Rudy had killed it that would have been years down the drain - and it was only two months away from vivisection too!

I'm torn because on the one hand making Jordan a villain would probably limit his future MCU roles in a way that a heroic character wouldn't.

I don't know that I'd go that far, actually. The land mass of the earth
is big, yeah, but populations tend to be pretty tightly clustered so,
e.g., 'destroying Russia' wouldn't mean blanketing the landmass of it.
And knocking out all the medium-and-up cities combined with high levels
of fallout and the nuclear…

He was too busy going into his own laboratory at the company where he works and getting the chip they needed.

There was a fair bit of radiation damage as a result of not evacuating though. That was the bit we didn't really know about at the time.

It sounded from what they were saying like "redirecting" it in this case mostly amounted to "briefly knocking a satellite out of alignment" rather than actually having any real control over where you're aiming the thing (because in that case, I dunno, sending it underwater in the nearest lake would probably work…

I hope they either (1) just totally abandon the idea that he was there for five years and keep adding on more and more flashbacks as if he'd been there for decades, without ever mentioning that the timeline is starting to look a bit cramped*, or (2) just make the flashbacks back to things they already filmed in season…

And even if they were really massive ones, the country as a whole wouldn't be particularly fucked except inasmuch as everyone would freak out/all sorts of economic disasters would result/etc. There would be some fallout raising overall cancer rates a bit for whatever parts were downwind of it, the area probably…

"Disarming" doesn't even need to take that long if you're in an emergency situation either. Doing it in a responsible way that doesn't involve breaking useful things or wasting fissile material or whatever can take a while, especially if it involves lengthy documentation and all the other things we want when doing it…

It would fundamentally change the world the United States by shattering the reassuring hope belief that the destruction of August 1945 will not be repeated couldn't happen to Americans.

The thing about the Machine that makes it seem an awful lot better than Samaritan seems directly linked to its experience - especially the extended early parts where Finch tried to teach it a more ethical perspective than just "pursue these [bad people don't hurt good people] goals". The Machine has demonstrated a…

It does seem relevant that the Machine had to learn (slowly) the complexities in the good people/bad people thing over time, even though we only see that happening in flashbacks. The immediate classification of people that way that it looks like it's resorting to looks exactly the way Samaritan tends to do things.

I liked that the problem the Machine had early on was that it couldn't make sense of chronology or the extent to which that affected the context for what was happening at that point.
