...it’s hard to know where the character’s perspective ends, and the show’s perspective begins. Because for Rick to be that recognizably selfish is one thing... but for the show to pretend it’s undercutting that perspective even as it not-so-secretly endorses it (by having Rick always be right, and always be…

I think you and mikefoo both hit parts of it. I think mikefoo’s right that this is an example of Rick’s arrested development and refusing to make a choice.

That said...I think this let him give Beth both options. And I think that also reflects on his own internal conflicts. For whatever reason, Rick was an absentee…

He’s got this kind of arrested development thing going on, where he can use his genius and technology to avoid the difficult choices, conversations and consequences that are part of being an adult. This is just yet another example of that, where someone who's really struggling comes to him with a difficult choice…

I still find the whole premise comical that apparently everyone who attended the parks was secretly a rapist, and all they needed were the walls of society to get thinner so then they could do their long awaited raping.

Yup turns out Rehoboam’s one weakness is that he had never heard of a firewall.

My favourite was when Serac’s top super badass guy showed up with his Garotte it turned out his fatal flaw was that his spine was made out of pudding.

Season 3 didn’t even memorable sequences like the absolutely sensational scenes in season 2 about the James Delos host mentally collpasing over decades (though see James in season 3 was both completely unnecessary and kind of lovely).

Well, that was terrible.

Season did a terrible job incorporating old characters with the exception of Hector. The rest just showed up . . . and disappeared.

Serac was just a dime-store villain. What a fucking dull character. What a waste of screen time. Likewise the Caleb character is 100% meh. Never any investment in his choices, fate, etc.

This season just fell flat. Most everyone here in the comments enjoyed the production, I mean there is nothing like HBO production dollars. But it swung for themes far better fleshed with the Matrix series or any number of cerebral dystopian films reaching back to the 70s

“Inelegant” was the perfect word for it.

The “issue” with The Last Jedi wasn’t ignoring The Force Awakens, but being saddled with the laziness of Awakens. Abrams had no idea for a trilogy, he barely had an idea for that one movie (and that idea was just do A New Hope again, but flashier effects). His storytelling approach has always just been throw shit at…

I mean, this would be fine except for the fact that The Last Jedi is a much better film than The Force Awakens.

At least TLJ said “yes, and” to TFA. Luke felt guilt after Ben turned and left everything behind? That’s from TFA. Rey being a nobody and her bloodline not mattering? Maz says as much in TFA. I disagree with her whole assessment of the situation, and argue that’s exactly what TROS did but on a larger, more artless…

I’ve just watched the first five episodes of this, and am broad agreement with the review. It feels like it handles the dramatic bits far better than the humorous ones; episode 5 is wonderful, and there’s some real pathos in the subplot with the testers, but some of the bits which are supposed to obviously be purely…

Ashly Burch in a live action TV show! Good for her.

because it had done and experienced everything.

Amy’s Golden Lentil. That and the Mushroom Bisque, which I also ordered from Amazon (all of these cans were perfect) are my two favs. I highly recommend trying it if you see the brand in the store.

the moment where he says they might want to see the inspection records for the tunnel with the cut duct...he put just the right spin of “I am definitely firing you in 10 minutes, but I need you to keep working for 9" on it :D
