I didn’t see any indication that the robots had wiped out the entire human race. The story is deliberately small-scale. The setting is a specific, local, area, and we see no indication that the machines have eradicated things worldwide.

But expanding on that, I don’t think it’s specifically referring to “crocodile tears” but rather just that the term crocodile tears refers to the cold, selfish nature of crocodiles. If the title referred to crocodile tears, then Mia would have been faking feeling guilty or upset. Her tears at the end seemed real to…

Well said.

There is one concern that I found particularly disturbing. Real Nannette ordered a pizza to be delivered to Daly the night his mind got lost in the game and died from starvation. The delivery driver will remember the strange encounter with Daly who explicitly stated that he did not order a pizza. So the police will…

The happy ending surprised me too.

What the absolute fuck is going on in this thread.

hi Pops. Glad you made a second account, then starred yourself from your main account less than one minute later (amazing timing!) to ungrey it.

She shouldn’t have gotten away with it, even if there was something was to remind her of it. Every evil act was building a jenga tower that was destined to fall. If she got away with it, it would be like an orchestra abruptly ending before the crescendo. It would be surprising, but not fulfilling. It would be shock…

At its best, it doesn’t stretch believability too much

Based on your comment I’m not sure you did know that. You’re talking like this is a documentary. I’m glad you clarified.

This was an episode less reliant on the tech aspect and more about the blackness of the human soul! Mia’s actions are awful but inevitable once she decides she cannot have her life ruined by a past mistake. Very very dark but loved the performances from Andrea Riseborough and Kiran Sonia Sawar. Nice touch making a…

you know it’s a TV show right?

“at some point, it’s pretty much all magic you either go with or you don’t” to be fair that describes about 80% of how Star Trek’s technology is understood, so I thought them not explaining how Daley’s DNA tech works may have been a nod to Trek’s lack of description for how their tech works. Good call on him being a…

We have a running joke that Floki is actually It/Pennywise and he just discovered Derry. Now he’s luring the first Derry’s settlers to his land. Eventually he will go insane, become a cannibal, and begin evolving into It via dark magic. That’s why It use to say we all float down here and why Georgie was one of It’s…

I’ll just holler back across the abyss....a little (or a lot) of Rollo would definitely be a treat. And what would really make me happy would be some sort of callback for Travis Fimmel...a flashback or perhaps a ghostly visitation like they hinted at before, or similar to Aethelstan’s.

AV club is so sad now. Sometimes i come here to hear my echo.....echo...echo..

Helloooo!!! Is anybody out there? Or am I as alone as Floki in his newly discovered and desolate land?

And yes I realize saying that disconnected story lines don’t have any real connection is simultaneously redundant, poorly worded and embarrassing.

Okay, first it is undoubtedly Ice Land, the only place with a cold climate and an active volcano he possibly could have found - plus in the previews which you may not have if you’re watching screeners, he is back in Norway (how does he get there?” saying “This land is uninhabited and the gods have given it to us.” Or…

last season’s finale, before the hosting change - 382 comments. Season premiere, including this one - 6 comments. I love this show and have much to say about it, but I might as well shout it out my car window on the highway.
