Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had a wild season 2 finale that changed everything, and then it was canceled. I was so excited to see where it was going.

It seems to me that Rick’s ‘failure’ to make the decision for Beth ensured that both Beths are equally valid since no one, including him, knows which one isn’t ‘real,’ and I think that was the best way to handle the whole thing? I mean, I feel like he actually did something objectively Good there, even if it came from

It bothers me that you’re calling her Morty’s dream girl. Jessica is Morty’s dream girl. But that whole relationship was real, which was the point—and the opportunity for cruelty.

This is your regular reminder that Summer is the best. Thank you for your time.

Really not a fan of how this episode lets Kara off the hook for keeping Lena in the dark for far, far longer than she should have.

The Witness and Fract OSC.

But you didn’t argue that immortality is bad because of boredom. You argued that it’s bad because you can get cancer and break a hip. The context for this conversation is literal heaven; I think it’s a given that we’re talking about a form of immortality that also prevents the possibility of disease and personal injury

Where do you imagine I’ve disagreed with that? I’ve said in multiple comments that I’m all for people having the ability to end their own existence, especially in cases where that existence is a nightmare. My problem is just with the assumption that a life spanning hundreds of thousands of years would necessarily get

“yes there’s too much to experience in a human lifetime but we’re not talking about that here. We’re talking about infinity.”

The cessation of your existence is a right that all creatures should have, but I fail to see how the lack of possibility of an end renders everything pointless. Does life gain poignancy and meaning from its involuntary brevity? Sure, but that doesn’t mean that life immortal would be meaningless. Not all meaning is

Do you really believe that in thousands of years you wouldn’t find anything new that you wanted to do or experience, especially assuming that as your life continues human civilization keeps developing in unforeseen ways and creating new art both in forms you already know and enjoy and in forms you cannot even imagine?

“It is eternity without the possibility of an end that would get boring.”

“Having infinite time and access will make you try out new things, but I don’t see people really changing their interests in any huge way”

I’m always seeing this idea that eternity would get boring, and I just don’t get it. As long as human civilization keeps rolling, there’s always new material for the book club. There’s always a new Netflix series to binge. There’s always new film and music and videogames; always an ever-evolving marketplace of ideas;

If this movie sucks ... it’s not because it walks back TLJ ... It’ll be because TLJ walked back TFA and TFA sucked to begin with.

Some people are saying you’re thinking too hard about this or some bs, but I too was distracted and annoyed by the cameo of those two characters. No, I didn’t know their names, but I immediately recognized them from the Cantina scene in A New Hope. Like a good Star Wars fan. Like I was supposed to. Took half a star

Cowards.

So does this show have anything to offer anymore beyond genre parodies?

I don’t really care enough to get into it, but I feel the need to see the following opinion expressed somewhere:

This was not a good episode. It was boring and not funny. The show can do far, far better than this. I cannot understand where an A- is coming from. I know it’s lame to quibble over grades, but I’m feeling

This Lena plot is a brilliant way to turn our years-long fan frustration at Kara’s refusal to reveal her identity to Lena into on-screen comeuppance. I’m really impressed by its conception.
