Everything in this episode felt so strangely off that I went back and watched the first few episodes of the first season. Mindy is an entirely different character between then and now. She seems like a caricature of season 1 Mindy now. It sucks because the show is still funny (usually).

Bugle fingers is my favorite thing I've seen in any show this fall season. It's made the last 10 years of January Jones being cold and monotone worth it.

I'm late to this party but I predict the head of the anti-inhuman initiative is Brett Dalton.

It's a metaphor? Like the folly of humans is to think they can control everything. The fly is Delores?

I know it's early but 175 comments so far. Westworld has 550. Last season episode 2 ended with 2000. I'm interested to see if the ratings plunged or people are picking Westworld on Sundays and Walking Dead on Mondays.

Color palette!

I thought too until he grabbed her. If he is her husband and he grabbed her like that, then I am opposed to this marriage and this show. But I like it so I hope that's not the case.

Hahahaha. I thought that through 40% of the episode.

Disagree. But also, how do you or I know? She's done ballads before. I don't think I've ever for a second seen her stripped down as she always seems to be "performing". But what if "performing" is her stripped down, like that is what she is deep inside (really into whatever weird shit she is doing). I don't think…

Gimmicks:

• A unitard
• Climbing on top of a piano

Oh yeah, she lost it. When I read the Scandal one I imagine Josh Alston throwing a chair in anger and then sobbing on the floor. For Sonia's review, it feels like she was playing Russian Roulette between paragraphs.

I'll leave it here for posterity. http://www.avclub.com/tvclu…

So Zack Handlen also reviews BSG, which I think has a similar world-building premise to this show, and he adores it. I see no evidence that he has problems with WD's genre or premise. Evidence suggests he understands the premise of this show but is frustrated at the execution.

At the beginning, he had a lot of pluck. He was compelling bc he was already relatively "uncivilized". Now I guess it's his loyalty? Or our loyalty to his former self? Or our loyalty to his loyalty? Blurgh.

Top 3 Moments of Reviewers Losing Their Minds:

Was she walking next to Dot in this episode of 99? I was so confused about which show I was watching I didn't hear the first minute of dialogue.

So I don't really understand the comparison to the Leftovers because they are very different (Leftovers season 2 rocked my world). I'm finding myself comparing this more to Mad Men as period pieces.

Hahaha. The movie has a co-head writer that is female but I can see myself running to IMDB trying desperately to make my point so that means yours is probably better.

I think taking an original film and giving it a new prespective is really interesting. I was watching the original Ghostbusters this weekend and Bill Murray creeped all over Sigourney Weaver. That misogyny made it hard to connect with the film as an adult (even though I loved it as a kid). Having women re-interpret an…

I was sitting there crying and screaming "CPR! It's been a few seconds. Try CPR!" It was frustrating.
