    They actually dropped in one episode that Bernard had been there for 8 years.

    "as an increasingly probable certainty in weeks prior"

    Yeah, Logan is a dick, but William is casting his real, live sister aside out of an obsession with a robot he met a few days ago……

    "My flight back to Earth leaves in a few hours, so we need to get this done." - Charlotte, during the finale, probably…..

    I agree. This was her first "crisis".

    Do you mean Elizabeth herself? She has actually said IRL how fond she was of Churchill. So I assume they had a good relationship in general.

    Yeah, that's a pretty good point. I like your idea that we're being treated like culturally literate viewers though. I'll take it!!!!

    You beat me to it! I feel like there's like this small pool of people they are limited to pick from for these royal dramas. Clarie Foy was also Anne Boylen and Helen Mirren did BOTH Elizabeth's.

    After watching her as Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall I decided I would watch anything she was in just for her. She's great.

    This made me think of how crazy it would be if Westworld were just one big Matrix prequel.

    I was very intrigued by the invoking of the religious themes as well. Fingers crossed for robot Messiah.

    Poe's Law brah.

    "Satire has to be clever."

    I mean…lets just use "abhimaan". If we can put "schadenfreude" in an ENGLISH dictionary then I don't see what's stopping us.

    Milliennials have second hand nostalgia, so we have fond memories of time periods we never actually lived through.

    The show has gone out of it's way to telegraph to us that LF knows or at least suspects.
