As a proud recipient of a justice-of-the-peace wedding without rings, the first five minutes were very familiar: out-of-wedlock kids, the occasional wedding dress, the county employee behind glass. Except our ceremony wasn’t performed by a judge but a girl with her name on her necklace, the license cost $75 instead of…

I don’t find this show *that* confusing, but the standard HBO “previously on” recaps being reduced to a dialogue-less montage is a real middle finger to the audience.

Legally, a person cannot be compelled to testify against his or her spouse. Therefore Kim is proposing marriage because she is all in, in spite of everything.

I am floored.

Simulacron-3, I’m guessing, didn’t have a bullet freeze motion so that the hero could casually pluck it.

Complete with an older French guy as villain in part 2!

This was the most competent ripoff of The Matrix in 21 years.

BOOOO to the Benioff and Weiss cameo. I appreciate that HBO decided they weren’t notable enough to be recognizable without a dragon.

Uber But For Criminals is almost too good of a writer’s idea.

The scariest movie ever made, if you were afraid of skeletons at 5 years old like me.

All darkness and echos in the indoor shots there.

Ants on ice cream, feasting on the remains...cool photography for the sake of cool photography is one of the great things about this show.

Yeah, that works for a fairly fresh article. But if the article is more than five hours old or so, you can’t see comments in Firefox. Chrome seems to work, but Chrome, bleh.

Maybe next they can fix things so I can actually see the comments in Firefox if the article is more than four hours old.

Somehow I read the novelized version as a kid. Everyone ends up sucked into the black hole. Yep.

If level 4/5 self-driving cars ever become a real thing that many people have, the self-driving software is going to eventually be subscription-based. It is inevitable. Maybe the manufacturer won’t remove it from the car while it is in motion...or rather won’t do it again after it happens once with tragic…
