But it wouldn't be official, which is exactly what Philip was proposing.

Weird. I always assumed it meant celebration.

I think you absolutely nailed it. I for one didn't give a shit about any of the hosts' journeys and I think my favorite scene was Deloris getting gutted to reveal her inner gears. I don't care if something is expressing emotions if I know it's programmed to do exactly that. I understand why other people would feel

Yeah, I guessed that in the first episode. Then I guessed that he was based on Ford's old partner Arnold, but what I didn't see coming was that Bernard is essentially a clone, not just a robot built with the same personality. Because now I guess we're supposed to believe that not a single other person has ever seen or

I actually think this is one of the very few times HBO used nudity appropriately. It wasn't really overtly sexual, it's just what the human body looks like. Which is actually kinda beautiful, and it's sort of a shame that we associate nudity with sex so much.

Five months too late, but healthy stable individuals committed suicide for a greater good all the time throughout history. It's only recently in our current culture where suicide is portrayed as an act of instability. I mean, look at the Samurai caste, which this episode referenced so conveniently.

You're right, it did get ugly. And that's unfortunate.

In fairness, she didn't outright state that but she implied it. She also took issue with Gladys's cremation because she's from a culture (again, the reviewer is as American as apple pie) the reveres cremation. She somehow thought the show was trying to say all cremation was a negative thing.

It's the AV Club. You expect detailed and knowledgeable reviews here? This reviewer doesn't even know what The Great Disappointment was and thought the first episode opener was just some wacky one-off event tale of a woman expecting to be raptured.

Australian is one of the easiest accents to fake, like Indian or Cockney.

IUDs are notoriously unreliable. My sister got pregnant with an IUD inserted.

She's not from India. She's from New York and of East Indian heritage. She took issue with the show for having so many white people in it. She also referred to a painting of Job as "Jesus or some other biblical figure." She didn't have the cultural knowledge or education to review the show and it was embarrassing.

Because it seems like it would be awfully unpleasant.

I gotta admit, if I'd ever commit murder suicide by way of nuke, I'm going out naked.

That's how an Australian accent works. You put r's where there are no r's and take away the r's that are there.

I find that forced way of speaking common in British actors trying to do American accents. A lot of them sound like what black comedians think white men sound like.

I don't think it was pre-departure. The accident was three years previous, right when the Garveys moved to Jardin.

No, it's a French word regardless so fiancée=female, fiancé=male.

I understand what you mean by meeting fellow black people, but this film is more about the fetishization of the black (particularly male) body and experience by the tone-deaf politically left elite. It's blacksploitation meets Stepford Wives.

Three months too late, but it's not a film about how black people are treated in America, but how black people are frequently treated by the genteel left. It's a satire on pandering romantic racism. Sort of like what would happen at a party thrown by the entire staff of the AV Club and one black guy shows up. Each and
