I still cannot believe they expected us to be swooning while Carmy goes on the most boring romcom plotline of all time. 

I screamed after my viewing today because I too had no idea and the moment it ends is in the midst of the second act momentum crescendoing into third

I was waiting for him to blow the door open and wake up IG-12's guns the entire sequence.

I am an all time Katee Sackhoff stan and have wanted her to have her own show since the BSG days. I still think this season is a lumpy mess.

Coerced labor is historically effective and continues to be so today. The large groups of essentially indentured servants harvesting the crops of California and building the Middle Eastern mega cities are proof of that. Let alone the origin of the railways of the American West.

The first three perhaps, but it has been firing since episode 4 and this one may be the series crescendo. 

The episode implies heavily that Vader wants Obi-Wan to get away. They show Vader looking at the droid dragging Obi-Wan away while the stormtroopers are yelling about not being able to see anything. It would have been trivial to use force powers to destroy the droid and put out the fire, but Vader almost wants the…

They almost certainly have a high fidelity recording of him reading through a tone and sound dictionary as well as the rights to train machine learning models on it for future synthesis. Presumably in exchange for a giant bag of money they handed over to Jones. 

I don’t know how to say this gently. You’re not the only person who watched or read Prisoner of Azkaban. The reason no one brings it up though is that the pattern you mentioned is one of the oldest tropes in time travel science fiction and most of us here saw in other creative works long before we encountered the…

Almost every highly traffic part of Seoul is papered with pictures of families looking for people who went missing. I see them next to subway escalators, taped to bus stands, flyered on to light poles. We forget this because of the miracle that is Korea’s level of development today, but the country experiences…

I hadn’t thought of this, but this makes perfect sense. Even in modern day Korea, someone as beautiful as Jamie Chung would get dinged on the marriage market if she had no family tree. 

When I realized this was primarily a BBC show with HBO distribution, I lowered my expectations accordingly. They really needed HBO tentpole money to do this story justice.  

This will likely end up being Johnson’s single greatest business decision. I can’t believe it’s going for 15 million. There are loss making software companies with one customer that get bigger investment checks than that.

I am five years late to this comment section but I have to stand up for Amantha and this comment. 

I am nearly decade late in this response and I don’t know whether the AVClub sends out reply notifications anymore.

WE ALL KNEW!

And that Will’s response was “it’s better if she sees it herself (showing!) instead of telling her”

I just watched this episode now, but yes in this hypothetical if Syd has sex with David who has memory loss of something that fundamentally changes their relationship, then David isn’t capable of fully consenting to sex.
