Apparently the writing of that particular episode didn’t work the way David would like- like they couldn’t find the “problem” in TV writing terms. 

Also in retrospect “maybe the dingo ate your baby” was a pretty dark joke. And it turned out that it probably *was* a dingo that ate the kid. Wildlife attacks because of habitat loss were becoming more of an issue and for Australian politicians going after the mother was easier

Yeah- it depends on what the relationship was like around then. Were they definitely separated or did she get more distance when she met Styles? Even if she wanted out, waiting until someone else better comes along is a coward’s move. It also depends what the deal is with the fact they got engaged but never married-…

The ridiculous thing was that it was clear why it happened. (1) Her arc was more interesting, which he didn’t have a ton of control over but (2) She and Renee O’Connor actually made it seem like they were best friends so the storylines were more compelling, the guy who played Iolus was a lot of fun but Sorbo was never…

I mean the people in Florida, Texas and many states with a coastline will be suffering along with more natural disasters like forest fires. But they just don’t seem to want to put 2 and 2 together and understand that these things are happening to them because climate change is real and serious. Hell, you’d think at…

The background is seriously weird. It’s like a prom background for photos- but not a good one, one where a bunch of 16 year olds couldn’t decide on the theme for months and then one of them had to do it last minute

Yeah- they probably could have done something about her impulsivity and selfishness being due to the fact her dad’s the devil since he also demonstrates some impulsivity and selfishness. But her personality traits and flaws weren’t consistent enough and they never really confronted the flaws of the character they…

OK, that could have been clearer. Honestly I think some of the episodes without the big name actors are better than the ones with them? Like I liked the one about the businessman and then the follow up about the mermaid and fishermen dealing with the oil spill he caused

How did you only watch the KMT one? It’s not the first episode and it’s actually pretty far down the list. Why skip to her episode?

I think the alt-right and skinheads don’t always get along, so good luck buddy

It seems very common in groups that are conspiracy theory oriented. In the documentary about Flat Earthers, two of the more successful Flat Earther figures complained about people saying they were actors from the government. The one for the lady seemed to be very vehement in the way only dudes attracted to a lady can…

I mean growing up and getting him some noise cancelling headphones aren’t necessarily contradictory- he already knows they have sex. Him understanding that his parents are going to go have sex and that he’s probably going to want to do something loud with headphones for a while and not try to open the bedroom door…

Sometimes there’s info he edits out bc it’s not helpful/doesn’t read well/tells you too much about their identity. Or the email is like “bobwoodward@yahoo.com” so it’s kind of obvious what gender they are. Though someone could always be NB and have any kind of name

I mean it’s a little once you develop emotionally, but like you also want to cover your ears? Sound dampening tiles sound like a great idea for many bedrooms meant to hold double beds. Imagine if you never knew if your in-laws were still “active at 80"?

And I’d say hearing your parents have sex is profoundly more gross than hearing strangers or even friends/siblings having sex (hopefully not siblings having sex with each other!). Plus teens often benefit from being talked to like adults and talking out their feelings. I didn’t think Dan’s advice was too helpful…

Yeah also bored lonely teens often equal stupid. What’s he going to do out there? And if they tell him in an angry way then he’s going to be stewing the whole time or like complaining on tiktok

Or buy the kid some soundproof headphones, make sure he has the things he’d usually ask about, and give a heads up that you’ll be “upstairs”. Still less spontaneous and fun but it’s something

I wonder if the son just being there makes it harder to relax even if they don’t know he’s going to hear. Because what if son burns popcorn while he’s down there or his chromebook stops working and the teacher’s trying to contact you or the son’s downstairs chatting with a pedophile while you’re having sex. I can…

I mean part of the struggle of being a teenager is learning about that. Seeing your parents’ flaws and needs is scary enough with having to think about them naked. And when you’re a teen, you think about literally everyone else naked. I think maybe a mid-way approach of sitting down with the teen and saying “Normally…

Yeah I don’t understand why her body and the box wouldn’t still be in the Void? Like, other stuff doesn’t fall out of the Void. It barely makes sense why it wasn’t vacuuming other stuff up as it traveled between the duplicate Earth and actual Earth. And yes it’s absolutely wild Nick was able to just travel through…
