I am glad someone else noticed the evil-cosmopolitain-Jew trope that was used pretty liberally in this pilot. Left a really bad taste in my mouth.

"Unbiased" LoL

Meh. You could just as easily say painting or film is a waste of time. People seem to be so baffled by things that have no obvious utility, despite the fact that the things that have no obvious utility are precisely what make life interesting.

Um…Red Letter Media actually liked TFA.

Or we've been telling the exact same stories for several millenia now and we've just decided to be honest about it?

Remember when all the fans of the OS were yelling and screaming about how TNG didn't "look" or "feel" like "true" Star Trek?

"statist"

"accuse Assad of using sarin gas."

"BS Anti-Russia propaganda."

So tired of it you came all the way down into the comments to tell us.

Um no. There's been just as many "ethnic" goodies as there have been baddies, and the big bad this season is White AF.

Assange even deried the Afghan translators lives he put in danger. When one of his associates brought it up he was basically like "fuck em!"

"They are about providing a space absent bigotry."

And every statistical measurement we have.

In literally everywhere else but America the word "neoliberal" connotes a strong belief in limited government, free markets and capitalism.

Biggest question for me: How is Carrie authorized to be doing ANY of this?!

Oh yeah. They are defintely staging this for several seasons. And depending on your interpretation, the titular "man" is revealed.

The Banality of Neutra-Heroes

I think people need to adjust their expectations before coming into this. This was marketed as more of an action, espionage thriller with an alt-history backdrop and there is a lot more going on here than that (although those elements are also present). Frankly, I am glad they didn't just settle for that.
