It’s going to be an interesting debate moving forward - on one hand, you don’t want to exploit people’s suffering for drama, but it’s not exactly respectful to create a whole fictional universe that ignores hundreds of thousands of people dying in 2020 or 2021 (which is essentially what we did with the flu pandemic). 

Weirdly, ever since I read a review of that Anne Hathaway movie about the lockdown, something has been poking at my brain. That was the first place I’d really encountered the sentiment that we (as a culture, through our artwork, even the mediocre kind) should be trying to ignore the pandemic until we can forget about…

Dog poop is full of pathogens and parasites and needs to be picked up immediately in order to protect ground and surface water resources. 

Interestingly, the car crash was only revealed in the promo for next week’s episode, rather than within this episode itself. (So those catching up on “Birth Mother” on Hulu won’t even see it.) I think that’s why it felt so different than the home invader reveal, which was actually built into the episode as a proper…

He’s often very funny (his Cancer joke in “Ironic” slays me every time), but his performance style is one of open contempt for anyone who’s paying attention to him.

The idea that a security system only checks facial scans for wanted criminals but let’s anyone else through, just seems like another one of those Agile things where we’ll get some something up and running first ( we already have a database of wanted criminals to check data with, let’s just get it up and running with…

Yes. I think this was implied

Look, they’re just trying to prevent Braavosi assassins from finding out where Moff Gideon is.

That twist makes no sense at all. If anything, it should have made him more interested in probing Rosemary’s pistils.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

You’re describing third-person, not first-person. When you look up, do you think “I need to tilt my head backward” or do you think “I need to tilt my face upward”?

Where is this from? Pretty close to how I imagined them, though I had them as more browny/orange and a little shorter and fatter. 

He matters enough to me that I would be content keeping him in my life even if it’s just as a friend. My question is should I tell him how I feel and risk losing him altogether or do I let him be happy with his girlfriend and not tell him that I fell hard for him? I know he might not reciprocate my feelings. That’s…

The fireworks factory is Ahsoka.

Nah, it’s a great idea. There’s a pandemic, he’s not touring, and the two have worked well together in the past. It’s not rocket problems.

Pete and Cazzie probably made out during Schindler’s List......

YUP. I’m not clutching my pearls at the idea of poor little froggy babies, but it was just tonally...weird. Like they set up the importance of the eggs, then he’s popping them like pez and there’s...no tension to it, and tension’s kinda necessary for tragedy and comedy.

I definitely could imagine Larry David taking it on, though

Was gonna write that the writer of this was probably to young to appreciate the Rocky Horror Picture Show and then it occurred to me that she may be to young to appreciate Tenacious D!

So on top of everything else, he hit his kids...
