In earlier episodes, I got the impression that her daughter had a genuinely rebellious streak in her; and that maybe she saw her mother as a shitty Pelosi-an image of the hated status quo, regardless of her politics. That impression has softened in her last few appearances, but given the kid’s approximate age, I still…

Glad someone mentioned this one. It really is incredible. May have been too recent a release to make the cut. Same with Deadstream.

Right, agreed - I certainly don’t need my horror/fantasy/sci-fi movies to be super logical or realistic overall (I love Star Wars despite its fiery explosions in the vacuum of space and a world where they have faster-than-light travel and fully AI robots, but seemingly no internet or cell phones.)
