Yeah, they would be nuts to take action against Lip. If anyone halfway competent was involved they would just paint over it and move on. At absolute worst they would not renew his contract the next semester. It is almost like they are trying to get sued.

Thanks. I knew it was something like that, but couldn't remember the details.

I guess. I imagine they'll come up with an explanation, but it seems odd to recycle a plot point so quickly. Especially if the Gallaghers are not actually going to lose the house this time.

I thought they secured control of Gallagher Manor a season or two ago. Didn't a relative get title and then they threatened him into giving them a long term lease? So who is evicting them now?

Yeah, it was really strange and jarring. He gets into a committed relationship that appears to be working, he builds a relationship with her kid, and then just sort of walks out of their lives like it's no big deal. The entire fistfight/police station sequence was ridiculous.

This movie was… ok. It had amusing moments and Alison Brie was charming as always. But Jason Sudeikis is a pretty bad dramatic actor, and really couldn't pull off the full range of emotions his character was meant to go through. It was also one of those strange movies where the male lead is irresistible to women just…

If I made this list tomorrow, it would probably have ten completely different songs on it. But today my ten favorites are:

Yeah, if the ATCU in Agents of SHIELD were not [SPOILER], Jessica could get herself picked up by them quite easily. But it seems pretty clear that Agents of SHIELD does not really take place in the same universe as the Netflix shows. I don't think there has been a single mention of SHIELD or Hydra, which is fine by me.

This is where the strange bifurcation of the MCU comes into play. In light of what has happened in the movies and also Agents of SHIELD this would make a lot of sense. But that has not been presented here at all. This show has really only acknowledged the events of the first Avengers movie. There has been no…

Admittedly it is a bit silly to nitpick a superhero show's depiction of the legal system. This isn't a docudrama about life in U.S. prisons. But for whatever reason this particular plot point threw me.

Right, but she explained the plan to Jeri Hogarth. And while Jeri said it was a bad idea, she did not explain that it was an impossible plan to execute because she could not be sent to Supermax in that timeframe. Jessica may well not have known that, but Jeri certainly would.

I know this is a comic book show… but having a plan based around getting thrown into a Supermax prison by nightfall is really stupid. It is literally impossible to do so; no one goes to Supermax for pre-trial detention.

So Victor’s drawings predicted the future: Where does this second sight come from, and what’s to come of the drawings he’s still making?

FWIW, in the novel Hitler has been incapacitated for many years and Martin Bormann is the Fuhrer in 1962. It is Bormann's illness and death that sets off the power struggle, not Hitler's. The contenders include Reinhard Heydrich, who did not die in 1942 in this universe.

The whole thing with Fet blowing up the Red Hook subway station was jarring because a.) there are no subway stations in Red Hook and b.) the nearest station (Smith-9th) is an elevated line above ground.

One of the stranger decisions in this series is to frequently provide highly specific location information when they are almost never actually filming at that location or at a location which resembles it. Even shows that actually do film in New York usually do not flash specific addresses or neighborhood names on the…

I believe you're thinking of Reinhard Heydrich. He died in 1942 in the real world, but in the novel is alive years later and is a prominent political figure.

The novel features a pretty complex (though not necessarily altogether convincing) alternate history. The departure point is the assassination of FDR in 1933, with the idea being that the following, weaker American governments fail to engineer recovery from the Great Depression or adequately prepare for war. And then…

Apologies for misunderstanding. I think you're right that the only definitive proof we would get that Mr. Robot is real and others actually interact with him would be if Darlene or others talked about him. However it would be strongly suggestive in that direction if other characters interacted with both Elliot and Mr.…
