Yeah, I binge-watched the show last week and I don't have a lot of specific recollection of what happened in this episode. Maybe next week I'll re-watch ep 8 again and see if that works. Although, given that I've seen the whole season, I'm not sure how much I can comment on without revealing spoilers.

I don't know. I found the whole abduction sub plot to be just stupid on so many levels. From a tv watching standpoint, you have to figure there's no way they get found out/captured/turned this early in the series. The missus and I tagged this as a KGB loyalty test from the get go.

OK, that makes a lot more sense.

Truth be told, this episode almost felt like it belonged to a completely different show, a show that I would very much like to watch.

Probably also a shot at the American version of Red Dwarf.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I think you mean "Diggle is Oliver’s partner, not his sidekick"

Yeah, that seemed pretty silly, especially when he reaches into his empty quiver.

I like it. There's certainly potential for good stories,  but it's like the Winchesters have wandered into a similar, but different show.

I was hoping for a horiffic car crash as well, maybe with Avery bleeding out as he tried to call Scarlett and apologize.

I think it would be fun to see Rachel and Raylan get together, but I doubt it would set either of on anything close to "the right path".

I don't worry about it too much. The Carrie Bradshaw we saw on SATC was a pretty terrible person. It makes me feel better to think this nice, sweet Carrie will make better choices and therefore grow up to be a better version of herself.

It's the Earth-2 Carrie Bradshaw

Yeah, but Carroll is not just some yoyo who read a Poe anthology and a few Wikipedia pages and decided to kill people based on that. He's actually a lit professor who teaches classes on this stuff. You'd think he'd have a more interesting and knowledgeable take on this stuff.

I'd certainly like to see weekly reviews of this. Actual SF shows, as opposed to magical fantasy or monster hunting, are actually pretty rare.

Eh, I never had much use for those guys, to tell the truth. The ratio of actual funny stuff to bad, cringey weirdness that went nowhere is just too high.

Back in the late 80's when I was doing stand-up, one of my fellow comics used to do a whole bit about that incident with the bear eating the cocaine.

I stopped watching halfway though the Thanksgiving episode. UAN used to be a sweet, little gem, not always bringing enough funny, but with a lot of heart.
