"I'm here to save you from crazy old man Johnson, Drummer!"
"I don't need saving." *blam*

Awesome. I've read like 10 different interviews about this but somehow never saw this angle. I spose she wouldn't want to create the impression she'd hesitated TOO much about it.

Perhaps, but I think they only interacted early on? By the end I just assumed he had been granted free reign of the place intentionally, but you may be right.

I felt like there was no way it was protomolecule though just based on his instant characterization. Unless it was playing the "even adoring fathers who are now completely shellshocked and broken can be evil scientists" angle, which just would've come off as cheap :)

To be honest, while I did rate episodes when I first joined AVC, I don't even notice the user grade anymore. It's all about the comments! It's definitely screwy you can still log in without FB but you can't make a new account, I've never seen that bullshit on any site, but yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.

Just because one group has assholes, doesn't mean another doesn't too.

The Cara Gee "walk to sickbay" is right up there with the Aubrey Plaza "feelin' good dance" among clips I'm going to be watching once a day for the next week or two.

I don't remember if I heard about The Expanse from The 100 or just the general sci fi atmosphere. I do know I started watching The 100 because there wasn't any real sci fi on at the time and I needed a substitute to scratch the itch. This season I realized I didn't need a substitute that mostly revolves around…

With Naomi, I think there's a mix of basic psychological projection there (I'm feeling guilty hiding shit from you so now I'm sure there's some sinister motive for you not telling me shit), but also the pragmatic fact that she has to decide how to handle the Torpedo of Evil, which she can't do without knowing the…

I pretty much only came to the board this week to agree with all the "holy shit, Drummer" threads.

I think everyone in this thread can agree that the following groups are primarily composed of garbage people:
1) Belters
2) Inners
3) Fans of Marvel comics
4) Out of context-ers
5) Underdeveloped infants on the internet
6) People who call other people underdeveloped infants on the internet
7) People who make lists about who…

Those other things had clear and immediate motivations for drastic action in the show, though. This is one of the very few places I feel like the progression from event to event is a little underdeveloped on TV - rational people who've worked together for mutual benefit don't just go "you and I are DONE" the moment…

I was expecting a punchline where the partners had some other reason for rejecting Bow, but I guess this storyline was probably too serious for that anyway. The punchline being that Hannah's name is Susan or whatever was pretty great instead.

With the Americans returning to triumphant cries of "yay Keri Russell isn't hiding behind laundry anymore!" this felt like a direct criticism haha. Something about those Ker(r)y/is. Personally I'm pretty oblivious to that and wish people would stop whining about it (in comments - the satire in the show this week was…

I too could use more of the guy. But come on, Ms. Ray-Harris: it's Andy Daly, Holiday Hannah, AND Keiko O'Brien.

Faced with this overwhelming evidence, I, the honorable Judgeodast, hereby find it to be proof that she lives in a sitcom.

The workplace is a cartoon; I'm not bothered by realism there at this point, it's just a bonus if it's actually present. Definitely agreed with the Bow problems regarding the earlier children though. I suppose the partner decision is more subjective so there's more leeway for the pregnancy prejudices to make…

There's a broader issue, which is that the number one criteria in MANY jobs, beyond general competence, is reliability; pregnancy is viewed as making women inherently unreliable. Whether it's child care or any other need of the Johnsons or their workplaces, the more pregnancy around, the less flexibility they have.

I don't think ordering can explain the nanny being invisible all but once per season. I'm ready to give this one a C just for the blatantly plot-serving nature of her reappearance.

Your false promises will have no welcome here!
