It was also revenge for the stunt driver guy being rude to them.

Richard should have known that tactic wouldn't work. It's not about money for Belson anymore, it's about pride. Monica told him that way back in the first season. Can't remember the line exactly, but it was something akin to 'these people are billionaires, they don't care about money, they care about winning'.

I think that the argument the show is making is that success in the tech world turns everyone's into an asshole. It didn't take long for Dinesh to turn into one either.

Gavin's perception of Richard is more about his deep suspicion, mistrust of others and defensiveness than it is about Richard. Look at the way he turned against Barker. He is the kind of person who compulsively needs to be waging a war against someone and is incapable of seeing how this aspect of of his personality…

I have a sneaking suspicion that Belson is an older version of Big Head. When he said 'is this number correct' it felt like he was pointing to a random number and bluffing. I don't think he can actually code, he's more of a Steve Jobs, big picture kind of guy.

Loved Big Heads genuine pride about his students starting a successful tech company by ripping him off. I guess they really did learn something about the tech world from him.

He could have at least included Pirates of Silicon Valley

Whovian must be a believer in the fallacy of human progress. History does not naturally curve towards progressive, ethical or humane values. These things have to be fought for over and other again. It's more of a waxing and waning.

Bills identity, sexually or racially, has never been the focal point of any episode. You remind me of some of the homophobes I encountered growing up who would say they didn't have a problem with gay people so long as they were 'less in their faces about it'. You're not fooling anyone. It isn't the degree to which…

The fuckboy patrol is out in force in this comment section. You shitheads really got triggered by this episode didn't you?

ITT: People who don't understand the concept of speculative fiction.

They were the employees not the customers. The suits, the oxygen, the ship and everything else belonged to the mining corporation. The employees failed to meet performance quotas so they were executed and were being replaced.

Well, I think that one guy was in a relationship with one of them.

You really could not be more wrong about this. It's happening right now.

I'm sorry Whovian, you really have no idea. Walmart is too big not to meet the bare minimum of it's legal industrial obligations. The majority of exploitation and endangerment happens in smaller businesses. Walmart and similar large chains are great employers in comparison to the majority.

I'm assuming they did away with wrongful death lawsuits when companies countersued the government for loss of revenue under Trade Agreements not too different from the ones we currently have.

I'm assuming communism takes a stalinist direction again.

I have no strong feelings on this one way or the other!

I don't think there's anything wrong with bright orange. Gold also works, as evidenced by GOTG2.

I thought Nardole was a robot. Or is he a cyborg? I honestly remember nothing about his introductory episode.
