According to the premise from its Wikipedia article, it does indeed take place in the 70s

That makes sense. While Gensis may be the most powerful force in the universe, when he's occupying Jesse and using him as a medium, his power can only be transmitted through that human means. On the flip side, it makes us wonder if Donny considered makeshift earplugs. Always been the dramatic one, though, that guy.

Quincannon's family is just as insane as he is, I would've been shitting my pants in that gondola lift with that snowstorm going on well before the cable snapped.

Miles pouring the spoiled milk was kind of a neat but probably coincidental contrast to Jesse considerately rinsing the cup of water he gave Eugene before filling it

I've honestly been wondering the same thing; but going off of this tweet and my limited understanding of production time, I'm going to go with a no.

-What are you even getting at? I said that as a general statement about how you keep spouting things as true as if you've already seen the entire show.

Or we go by my theory, which is the ugliest guy did it!

Pretty darn excited for this, mainly because there's only one show airing right now that I'm actively watching and because I just rewatched Walton Goggin's performance in The Hateful Eight again last night!

-Well, then it's a shame you're forthrightly spouting things out like you already know everything that happens and why, isn't it?

Maybe you're seeing it much differently from me because you seem to have a background in the comics (just judging by that Jody namedrop, who I have no idea is), but up until the very final moments of the episode, to me it felt like he was feeding on that faulty childhood epiphany of "holy shit, God exists because I…

They were both in Warcraft too, maybe their idea of a good date is auditioning for the same project.

I get that, but someone's actions "becoming more and more out of character" is still a perfectly human thing to happen. I'm open to the development of his possession having a supernatural effect on his behavior (that's probably the only development that would redeem him as an altruistic protagonist for me-not that…

Well, he has used the term "best friend" a couple of times already and again in this episode if I'm remembering correctly. And sure, that may just be him talking buddy-buddy because he's mooching off everyone there, but Tulip's call-out of him not really knowing anything about Jesse to be his best friend seemed to…

Yeah, I considered that. That's why I redacted my statement of being "rather terrified of Jesse" to just "plain realizing that he's not a guy you should be trying to make your best friend just because he's got a good heart or something." Though, as the reviewer kind of touches on as well, Cassidy's callous vampire…

I wouldn't say that. The ending was entirely about his regret. Him shaking off Eugene's disappearance in the beginning was the opposite. As for the middle parts of the episode, that's more contentious since you could argue none of his friends' attempts to make him return to his normal self fazing him at all was…

Geez, dude sent a kid straight to hell and didn't feel an ounce of regret right after the fact; he's way past the point of redemption of being the dependable moral center that is the protagonist of any such show IMO.
I have no idea how Cassidy is so defensive of him; if I saw that shit play out in front of my eyes,…

-One of the best cold opens/lead-ins to the opening title I've seen of late. I love that even after the opening sequence, that shit was still going on-even introducing Cassidy into the fray; most shows would've just cut to the typical comedic shot of them sitting and taking a much needed breather surrounded by a pile…

IIRC Beric and Thoros because they sold Gendry

Reckon it's getting brownie points up to a 4 for being a death associated with the revelation, not being the actual representation of the revelation.

I felt like this episode was particularly weak; it seemed like they just made another conflict out of nothing. I'd think that any computer scientist really would know about the concept of abstraction, wouldn't they?
