My best friend lost her 21 year old son in August of 2019. She has made this exact observation several times.

Yeah, I need Debris back, too. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be disappointed in the way Manifest ends, but I will watch it to see if they prove me wrong (some weird sci-fi type phenomenon would be a good way to end it, I think.) But, if I had to choose, I’d rather see more Debris.

During the Korean War.

I’m pretty sure Eugene’s anxiousness and upset were an act. I mean, the Commonwealth people don’t know he made it through the Savior shit. And, he clearly lied to them (amidst a lot of truth) when he told them that he lied to Stephanie about there being a settlement so she would find him more appealing. That indicates…

It would be really weird if he were dead and it was never mentioned because Marissa isn’t his only connection to the show. Never mind that Diane knew him, he’s well-known in that universe and everyone knows who he is, so it should be a big deal.

It’s like nobody watched The Americans.

I think just the masks worked for the whisperers because they also never bathed. I think they also wore the masks not for the zombies, but so people observing the herd wouldn’t know they were alive.

It actually really annoys me when they use rifles that have single shot fire and auto or three round burst options on the auto or burst to kill zombies. Auto and burst are used for covering fire, primarily. They aren’t meant for the type of shooting you need to do to kill zombies (head shots) and they aren’t terribly…

I think the Wackner story line would have really failed if it weren’t for Mandy Patinkin. He just made it work. And you can’t help but like him.

I’m worried that Eli Gold is dead. Marissa, when she was talking to Wackner while barricaded in the storage room, kept saying, “was” when referring to him. I hope he isn’t dead in the show, because I love Alan Cumming and it was one of his best characters, but it seems weird Marissa would talk about him in past tense…

Also, the Kurt who we met on The Good Wife would never have been OK with Trump 0r anything that happened related to him. Believe it or not, there are Republicans/conservatives who were against that stuff, they just happen to be either in the minority or not loud enough. The biggest differences that Kurt and Diane had…

They lost me when they started painting “purple zones” and somehow giving tickets and towing cars and the city went along with it by keeping the people’s cars if they didn’t pay the fines. I also don’t understand how a lawyer gets thrown into a cage in someone’s basement and her firm isn’t going to the police about…

His being on the property is only trespassing, though, and since he didn’t even pick the lock to get there, it’s no more than a fine, assuming the owners want to press it. His running from a police officer is shady, but not illegal and he should have never been arrested. Sure, it makes sense to stop him and ask him…

I’m thinking--based on her inability to choose any colors that aren’t indistinguishable shades of beige--that she’s going to take the pill and turn into one of those creepy things, because she doesn’t actually seem to have any talent. Not for interior designing, anway.

Also, as far as treating people with mild symptoms, our healthcare system is currently overwhelmed by all the unvaccinated people (including children) who are currently coming down with the delta variant, so keeping them from dying is a bit more of a priority for them.

A drug that is very safe for humans when using the human version of it at human doses is not dangerous. A drug that is meant for animals, mixed with things that are not approved or tested for humans, and is sold in doses for animals that are much, much larger than humans *is* dangerous for humans to take.

But, it’s not like there isn’t an easily available, free vaccine they can take to either keep them from getting covid or make their symptoms way more likely to be minor if they do get it. This isn’t, “Nothing is working for me, so I’m resorting to animal medicine” or even, “I can’t afford what would work, so I’m…

A lot of the drugs that are the same for humans and animals started in humans, though. Like, my dog and I take the same drug for hypothyroidism. She has to take it differently (dogs metabolize it differently, so I can take it just once a day, but she has to take half the dose twice a day) but that medication wasn’t…

As someone who has been around here for a long time but is still in the grays, I find that there are plenty of people around here who will star my comments if they find them to be a useful addition to the conversation. I applaud those people, some of whom actually wade through the grays to find me.

When I was in the Air Force Security Forces, part of my job was, obviously, to protect planes. Part of our deadly force training was that we were allowed to use deadly force to protect resources vital to the defense of the US. Whether the person was armed or not. So, if someone went running towards a fighter jet with…
