I assumed she was chosen partly because she looks like a young Gaby Hoffmann.

". . . for Shea to feel hurt that she can't have a baby is a bit melodramatic."

Saw that too, and it was pretty great (as expected of anything helmed by the ineffable Matt Mercer). They're a surprisingly cohesive group, considering they weren't all friends beforehand. I just hope Hardwick doesn't ruin everything with his stupid, gimmicky humor.

Behold Sable, the anti-Emma. Definitely hoping to see more of her next season. She can be Norma/n's only friend!

Holy shit, how creepy were all those extended shots of Norma's glued-open eyes? I couldn't watch the screen. That's some messed up shit.

AoD not remembered as fondly as ED2? That's pretty subjective. Maybe among the more rabid and horror-purist segments of the fandom, but certainly not universally.

Yeah, I get that people on the internet do that kind of stuff all the time and it can be really stupid. But in UserGoogol's defense, and at the risk of throwing one more generalization into this growing pile, let me point out that there's a wide experience/generational gap between old and young trans women that often…

That's the point: she appears to have an outdated and narrow view of the wide spectrum of trans experiences. See my response to Citric.

Then take it from someone who is actually a trans woman: many (but not all) of us start out feeling some level of sexual pleasure from wearing women's clothing. It's new, it's exciting, it helps us realize our actual selves and thus feel sexy. The novelty and pleasure fade as it becomes a normal, everyday thing. That…

In my opinion, no. It took me about 5 episodes to get onboard this crazy, silly, wonderful mess.

As someone who has spent her fair share of time in games, I found all the gaming bits in this episode ultra cringe-y. Agoraphobic 300 lb super hacker / gamer / internet personality who binges on Mt Dew and Cheetos and waxes tyrannic to customer service reps? Really, writers? Scraping the bottom of the stereotype…

This is network TV and the show seems dead set on playing up Mr. Ex so I'm sure this was a one-off gag from the brains more than an indication of sexual preference.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Terrible depiction of teen culture it may be, but I actually find the teens and their consistently precocious dialogue very refreshing.
