“Well, I can’t speak for Ford, but I don’t give a fuck how you die. As long as I get to watch.”

Or if Maeve becomes her daughter’s kidnapper/traumatizer in this iteration. It’s the loss of her daughter that started her toward enlightenment (becoming a cornerstone so powerful that even after techs deleted it, she killed herself) so maybe this will propel her onward to a new goal. Or towards nihilism. Who knows.

The real problem is going to be: Maeve can make the daughter remember her..but in doing so, she is also going to be making her remember all the thousands of times she was brutally murdered.

Nah, screw that. The vast majority of the world lives in utter poverty and you and I make hundred times more than they do and we can still not enjoy our jobs. Just because somebody makes more than you do, doesn’t mean that they can’t be unhappy with their job or work environment.

And let’s not forget that “non-profit” doesn’t mean that the organization is run by monks who have taken vows of poverty to rescue puppies. It only means that the organization doesn’t distribute profits to investors. There are many non-profits with officers who pocket millions of dollars in compensation. Like the CEO…

Ironically, everyone but the members of Radiohead and TLC.

What, she used “less” when she should have used “fewer”?

“Can’t you... say something to them?”

I liked the meeting of Clementines. That was so sad. Interweaving it with Sakura’s story.

ShogunWorld having the same narrative loops and characters is one of those things that’s caught me completely off-guard, but totally makes sense. It was great.

Are you being purposely obtuse?

No, I think that’s completely wrong, though. They want to be 100 percent certain that they can’t be accused of violating employment law, if possible, and so they put the decision about what information to consider in the hands of their search firm (at least that’s the story, and I think it’s reasonable). If they start…

So you’re saying they should have hired the outside firm to do the background check and kept the illegal checks in-house?

I mean, I agree with you, but I get the decision Syfy’s end given the nature of their deal - they only make money on the linear broadcast of the show (i.e., people tuning in Wednesdays at 9). That’s a bad deal in today’s market. Of course, the bigger question is why anyone would sign that kind of deal, but I guess,…

I really hope they find a new home for the series. It’s the best damn scifi show on TV right now. Looking at the details of Alcon’s deal with Syfy, I do understand Syfy’s position, though. A first-run only deal is terrible for a modern TV network.

Audiences fucking love when people make movies like that. Look at A Quiet Place— same delayed gratification formula.

Hollywood just doesn’t do it because they think you need wall to wall explosions all the time to get people into seats. The problem really is that Hollywood has mostly ceded the possibility of making…

I’ll go see this. I liked Predators too, I’m always a bit confused why that movie got shit on so hard. Coming off the AvP franchise, Predators was damn near Schindler’s List.

Is this a Def Leppard reference? Women hate Def Leppard?

No, I feel bad for them. They grew up in a culture of ignorance enforced by their society, like many/most of the people in the area I come from. Around here, lots of people think that only stupid people need to go to school; anyone who is smart can drive a truck, do landscaping, work in a mine or farm, etc... This is…

Yeah, see though, the show positioned him as not quite as narcissistic as we originally thought. He just knew what Arnold didn’t, the hosts weren’t ready yet. I can buy arguments either way though. I’m coming at it purely from the angle of actually giving closure to at least one of the many threads in this sprawling…
