I agree the episode broke the pacing of the home stretch, but instead of being a backdoor pilot, it lay some important groundwork for future arcs - Kali and the other numbers and their powers, is Brenner alive?, amplification of 11's powers and her ‘Luke’s Dagobah’ detour in general.

While not exactly a Nikki-Paulo apologist, I think at the time it was almost self-aware. They’d had these anonymous people suddenly be treated like series regulars in a scene or two, ostensibly because they had the thought that “there’s dozens of folks wrecked on this island; why do we only focus on 8 of them?,”…

I thought the same thing about the punk gang looking like they came straight out of central casting. I still enjoyed the episode though. I’m assuming Kali will show up again in season 3. Unless they cut her because of the backlash. Honestly, I think it could be fun to see her and Eleven tracking down victims One…

But that’s the point. It’s not HW Bush who is necessarily to blame here (unless he’s fooling us all with his ‘dementia’), but his underlings.

Eh, not really. I haven’t seen anyone say his behavior is anything less than gross. His age isn’t the extenuating circumstance here, it’s the possibility of full-blown dementia.

Okay, so here is my take on this.

The statement they gave helps explain the behavior, but should not excuse it. After the first time it happened, there should’ve been someone around him who stops him when he starts his routine. They know where it’s going.

I actually really appreciate the difference in the joke. The last person was a theatre performer, and he used a theatrical magician in the joke. This lady is a novelist so he used the name of a novel. It’s a personal touch that really demonstrates the thought he puts into his groping.

I get those all the time. It truly is one of life’s little pleasures

Friendster?

That one time?!

I used to work in a school. I had a parent who always used talk-to-text for emails. My favorite day was when she asked what time her son’s “I eat pee” meeting was.

No... We can go lower, deeper... There is much more than this... Oh God! I’m so scared!

But enough about PornHub!

Are you fucking kidding me

Best stream-of-consciousness since that one time Faulkner gave dictation while drunk.

This does in some way humanize Christine McM to a degree that we don’t get in most Internet discourse. After seeing this I suspect I’d be inclined to empathize with her views more than I perhaps would otherwise.

Not only is this terrible as a thing to swipe in a desperate attempt to feed the content maw, seeing this elevated over the likes of Horsefellow or Stacy512 is like watching Pat Boone go gold with “Tutti Frutti.”

oh my god has it truly come to this
