And then they clean out their savings account, and your parents can move in with you since you gave them the inroad to this!

Old people are the ideal target for phone scammers. Even with no background information and a thick accent, scammers can often separate older people from their money over the course of a brief phone call.

Out of the millions of people with these things, the hackers always want to hack into the elderly’s and the people with nothing else going on.

This is interesting. As far as man-on-man rape goes, I think you are probably correct. I think, however, in scenarios of woman-on-man rape the victim is almost never believed- if they even come forward at all.

Scientology.

I think it may be a combination of homophobia plus there being at least one child victim, but the results end up being odd, especially given the economics incentives. Reshooting House of Cards is a pretty big deal.

Yikes. I...might have to rethink whether I need Netflix in my life. I knew they hadn’t done anything about him, but I didn’t realize how committed they were to protecting him. And...why? He can’t be that important...

Or possibly a descendant of Bradley Cooper?

Oh come on, I don’t get the Daisy hate now. She has been a regularly engaging character since mid season 2, and has contributed the right amount to the show (except maybe the Lincoln storyline, which I admit was boring, mostly because Lincoln was boring). Her part on the show feels much more defined now that her…

“I don’t half-hit people.”

My favorite bit was Mac skewering the “How hard did you hit him?” trope. I never even thought of it as much of a cliche until that scene. His look and delivery on “As hard as I could” were priceless.

Someone else made a really good guess- it was Black Bolt. Daisy isn’t powerful enough to shatter the world, but Black Bolt is, and he exists, even though nobody watched that show.

Wait, what? How did I miss this?

I love that Mack responded to “let’s split up” by invoking the Brother Rule.

He also referenced the framework with:

She also snapped at Mac about how she “figured it out using magic”,

And yeah, the Earth we saw in this episode might have just been the Earth in the latter half of IW Part 1.

“I’m a biologist, but sure, I can invent time travel. Just give me a minute.”

Mack’s reactions are perfectly in-character. He hates aliens and supernatural and superpowers and stuff, so suddenly being thrown into a space station, much less in the future, without warning after all the bullshit of Seasons 3 and 4 he had to go through finally broke his meter past the “I’m done with this shit”…

The only slightly odd note is Mack...
