I have a hunch that Nihar threw the bee so he could be co-champions with Jairam, who had TONS of pressure on him due to his older brother winning the bee a couple years ago.

It would be a bold move for which I would respect them immensely

Alicia invites the villains onto her surfboard as Strand looks on helplessly

I think Nick's disillusionment at the end was earned. Travis just ditched Nick and his family, and then the group destroyed yet another safe haven for no reason.

Aw, c'mon. It's no fun denying the depth and significance of stuff like this. I like getting to hear about how people find meaning and value in pop culture like That's So Raven. Much more interesting than the "blah blah, [slightly older show] is better, blah" drone of the comment board

I think I might be the only person on Earth who enjoys this show, but I've accepted that about myself

I'm really enjoying this season so far — the plot is building momentum and I like this cast + setting a lot more than the main series.

Yesss thank you for this peace of mind. I read a theory somewhere else that the people following Strand's boat will pick her up for information

100% agree with this, Alex was the reason I was excited for season 2 and they got rid of her in one episode

there's season 2 of The Leftovers (the seriousness, level of critical acclaim, and Golden Globe outcry probably merit the title of "prestige TV") where a co-leading family is black, but I can't think of much beyond that

There's on-set photos confirming that it was at least filmed. I doubt HBO would flush unaired reels down the drain, but then again, would it surprise me? No.

So Charlie was lying about his father dying right? Looking back after the needle reveal, it reeks of manipulative self-pity

Literally I NEED the asian girl to survive — Fear the Walking Dead doesn't have any competent characters yet and she's the only one who has popped up

To be fair, every single time she's accomplished anything it's been despite 5-10 white people desperately trying to stop her

I see it less as Morgan changing Carol and more like…it's impossible to feel right as a person when you're committing atrocities (necessary as they are by context) by just shutting off all empathy when it's inconvenient. I think her warrior persona is a state of being rather than her actual personality. It's just not…

See, I really appreciate that the writers are adding some more dimensions to Carol's character. It's impossible to feel whole as a person when you're committing atrocities (necessary as they are by context) by just shutting off all empathy when it's inconvenient. I think her "warrior" persona is a state of being…

I loved this episode. I felt legitimately sad when Carol + Maggie killed Paula and Michelle (interrogator) because this episode gave both of the victims an interior life and sense of history. I wanted Carol to hesitate/spare Paula, because I felt real empathy for her. So did Carol. And I think the episode showed that…

I would not complain if she just took Maggie's spot in the group

I agree about Michelle, the interrogator — she was as interesting as Paula, even though she only got a short scene devoted to her.
