I suspect the reviewer here has spent more time thinking about the logistics of the alternate reality mechanism of this show than the writers have.

You can watch the entire thing and still not know what it is about. I think if you ask the writers to say what it is about in a sentence they would come up empty. It is not even clear by the final stretch of the second season (I have yet to watch the finale) what the point of the alternate reality setting is in a show…

My two favorite bands of the 1990s! Wait, are you me commenting from a parallel universe?

It is an amazing album and I think qualifies as "great art." All the reviews at the time agreed. So not sure about the shade thrown at the band or its last album in this piece. Apparently there is a backlash out there I was unaware of? Oh well. I'm very much looking forward to some new music from them.

Your point about "post-apocalyptic politics" is well taken, though I just think they could have gotten at some of that without it being so unbearably miserable.

I can't even count how many times I said "fuck this show" during that episode. There was nothing entertaining about that at all. The violence is the definition of gratuitous and solidifies that the writers of the show (and maybe the original comic too?) have nothing to say.

I'm not sure how it got a C- either. He's being charitable. It's really an F. There is nothing left for this show to do but to ramp up the brutality and misery for the main characters. Any revenge that Rick and the team ultimately get just isn't worth waiting for.

What is confusing is that Whiterose and the Dark Army want the plant under wraps, or at least in control of E Corp, while Elliott would want it exposed if it had something to do with killing his father, right? Whatever it is, it is not a simple power plant if it could somehow lead to WW III according to Price.

So the whole plot of this show turns on the Washington Township plant? Who saw that coming? And what the hell is in there?

I keep wondering about the random bit of dialogue in last week's opening scene where Mobley mentions some other location of that coffee shop. It is going to turn out that he just went to the wrong one or something.

Right! Also probably why Krista is visiting. She turned Elliott in after the d-bag begged her to.

Maybe I missed something obvious, but do we know why Elliott is in jail?
