Seriously, I fast forwarded through all of it in Part 1 and was on my phone for it in Part 2. 

Have you never been in a swimming pool? Because it sounds like you haven’t. 

Why would they need to do that?  The characters are all teenagers at this point. 

Humans are definitely naturally buoyant. Sinking is hard unless you’re sucking water into your lungs. 

Weights. Otherwise, she’d just float awkwardly to the top every time they lowered her into that tank. Humans are buoyant. 

I’m wildly curious as to why this incredibly generic-sounding movie ever got made. Like, what was is that attracted attention?

Isn’t it the weighted bathingsuit she wore so she’d sink in the sensory deprivation tank? From Season 1?

And that magically transforms Dylan Farrow into a man?

Matters to who? 

They are talking about Dylan Farrow, a daughter, not Soon-Yi.

I did really miss the whole, “Old money Atreides-Corrinos sniff at the nouveau riche Harkonnens” elements from the book. It was funny and another layer of political realism. 

Ok this makes me happy. I really hope we get the scene where Margot and Hasimir use their secret language to razz on the Harkonnens’ vulgarity and general tackiness. 

I drink alcohol. But the amount we hide about the “bad outcomes” is embarrassing. Like, it’s a big driver of breast cancer, but I bet people slap pink ribbons on wine bottles.  

One interesting elements to Prohibition is it kind of worked. Alcohol use in America dropped significantly and never went back to pre-Prohibition levels.

That’s too bad. I liked the dynamic of Leaphorn as the more secular man working with Chee. 

Yes, I think he stood in as the body double and they blended her de-aged face with his.

Yeah, clearly. But it’s been a one-note problem for two seasons and they haven’t done anything interesting with it.

Even more baffling…

It’s weird to switch characterization so much though. Like, Chee struggles a lot as a traditionalist who is also trying to do a non-traditional job in choosing to be a cop, whereas Leaphorn is the more assimilated character (though his wife is very traditional). It sounds like the flipped that. I wonder why?

The PBS casting was good but they changed the story completely and not in a way that improved it, I think. I don’t know why you’d adapt a mystery novel and not follow the mystery plot…
