My mother also died from MS after many years of deterioration.  The effects of the disease vary so wildly that people often are unaware of how bad it can be.  

I’m torn between it being premature ejaculation (“I almost got your shirt off that time!”) and him having some kind of sex-related panic attacks because his subconscious still holds the memory of the first time he had (messed-up incestual) sex.

This episode was absolute garbage and single-handedly ruined the show for me.  I’m out.

But what of the existential point of view of the prospective antecedent? The pragmatic consequences of the problem are not the only thing that matters.

I think this issue is quite a bit more complex than you let on. You would have a very hard time convincing me that every morning I am a mere copy of the person who went to sleep the previous night (although there was a period in my life when I was horrified by that thought and had difficulty sleeping as a result). I

Yeah, the thing about the hats being brain scanners is so damned silly it actually made me laugh.

I am getting tired of the show talking about robot clones as immortality without engaging in the clone identity problem. If I die and am rebuilt perfectly, that is not immortality as far as I am concerned. Look up the teletransportation paradox in philosophy. (While you’re at it, look up the problem of the philosophic

Because she stopped being a character and became just the single-minded leader of a pack of murderbots. Maybe now that she’s on her own she’ll become interesting again.

I agree with every criticism of this review: the vapidness of the characters, the fruitlessness of the multiple timeline audience mindfucking, the rarity of Emily’s now-lost sane voice, and the meaninglessness of anti-platitudes moaning about the darkness inside. In a way, while I’m fine with a grade of B+ for this

I hope not. TLoU was best on Hard with Listen Mode off. It made you engage with the game systems more closely and carefully. While I’m generally for accessibility options that allow less skilled players to experience games, I think that this game in particular loses something very important when it’s dialed down to an

I love that the next episode is named “Intransigence.” Right now, that just seems like the perfect title.

I really like how Naomi noticeably sounds more like a Belter now that she’s been spending time among her people. That’s such a believable detail.

It drove me nuts how casually Alex jogged that grenade over to the... coal disposal bin, was it?  She was just so slow about it, and the grenade’s fuse went on for so long.  How did that get out of the editing room?

I don’t think Naomi is Drummer’s XO. She’s the Chief Engineer, and Cortez is the First Officer. It sounds like he outranks her.

The Roci crew agreed to the documentary not just for some cash to make a living (being paid is their excuse for joining the expedition to the ring) but more specifically in exchange for the funds needed to make their legal case to keep the ship.

The ring’s field didn’t shred organic matter. It just caused the ship and its pilot to come to a sudden stop, which his body was very much unable to survive.

When would they have? The episode was so overstuffed as it is. Honestly, the relationship between Caitlin and Killer Frost is the most I cared about anything this whole season, but there was just no room for that here.  I would have gladly given up so much of what they prioritized instead, though.

I wondered if she might be, but not enough to bother rewinding to check. More importantly, I’m getting really tired of the idea that everything in the world is on a wi-fi network so she can hack it.

And I suppose resurrecting Sakura would disrupt that programmed lie of the story between her and Akane.  Fair enough.  But the other stuff...  I just want to go back to last week’s episode where interesting things were accomplished while maintaining internal consistency instead of this week’s version of Westworld

I get that she didn’t really know what she was doing yet when the ninja was trying to kill her, but, when the shogun’s captain came to town with his army after the ninja attack, Maeve could have just spoken her commands. She didn’t need to use her budding wi-fi voodoo; their ears weren’t sealed.
