Well I mean if they can't survive the radiation on the Ark, they die. But yeah, way too fast for that "massive improvement" compared to the grounders etc

tryna give TMS a bad name

She must have said "thanks but" at least five times.

Okay so then they should have said "highly trained and could be dangerous we don't know depends on what she's wearing and also has she had access to bomb materials? Maybe? Uhh let's just say dangerous."

How are they supposed to know she wasn't handed a gun when she was handed the key to her cuffs by a rogue agent who knocked out and tased the agents escorting her? What? And why would you assume that anyone who found her would have a SWAT team in tow? In their minds she's built bombs and leveled Grand Central Station,…

And because Jimmy wished he'd said it.

I think I'd say the writers who named the episode didn't know the difference, and the actors/director/someone along the way just figured out which one they really meant.

I think you're picturing this wrong. Not that there's a good way to picture it (with Abigail Breslin and two golf frat bros).

YOU GUISE. Chanel #2's house is the one across the street from mine! It's ginormous. I guess Oprah wanted to buy it at some point? She didn't tho. A few times a month they tell us we're not allowed to park on the street because of that house. Grumble grumble.

The most hard-hitting moments of the episode for me:

Barbara and Jim have to get together again at some point, right? To birth Batgirl? They better not do any sperm-stealing shenanigans.

I had thought they established that she was bipolar in the first season and not medicating properly, and figured this was part of an intense manic episode brought to extremes by her time being abducted by a serial killer. It's also possible I entirely made that up.

(All true, except that the term "miscegenation" was more commonly used to refer to interracial coupling that offended the sensibilities of the colonizer, rather than the rape of those colonized. "Anti-miscegenation laws," for example, were put in place to keep black and white people from marrying, not to keep…

No, thank you.

"Somewhat trained and dangerous" probably doesn't have that same ring.

Oh I thought she did that to telegraph a fake clue. I don't actually remember what was under there, though…

I'm pretty sure all one cannibals are also a murderer.

I thought the idea was more of the other way around— if they have an adult Batman in the show, it will seem even more knockoffy.

I agree that missionary trips are a terrible force of colonization but that wasn't what I was disagreeing with you about and I don't think we should call it any sort of "rape"—save that for rape.

I would agree, but they framed it decently enough with the idea that she has to go back through those 9 months to figure it out. So that now you've got stakes clearly outlined, a ticking clock, and a narrative reason why we would see those two parts together. If they had just left it at her waking up in the blast and…
