Agree. That was indeed silly as well. And those Federal marshals didn’t have the excuse of a distracting riot/building invasion going on! I do like to think that Simone might have been kept a bit more effectively if she had been, say, on the top floor of the USA’s equivalent national security establishment, and not…

True...and what a convincing argument he offered! If they aren’t convinced by the cherry-on-top “but whatever,” time to demonize them, amirite?

He’s your President too. Suffer. ;)

So to summarize your position, “I want television to depict racism, but am strongly racist about who I want to be hired to create it.”

Winner: hawkstwelve. -100 wokeness points for Noisy Pip. [I hope this elicits a four-paragraph response, supporting the multiple previous posts to the extent that she doesn’t care what anyone thinks or whether they agree.]

They explicitly told the hacker guy to edit the footage together to make things look bad. I can’t believe, even in a universe where he’s been established as an incompetent coward, he wouldn’t think to edit around any footage of American operatives on the ground in Russia while putting that together.

It’s a fair point…

Seems like you’re doing recaps instead of reviews now.

“I can’t imagine how he would get passed over for an Emmy nomination again if he submits this episode.”

It seems increasingly wrong for this show to consider submitting as a comedy again, based on the content of this season overall—but I don’t imagine it would successfully compete in the drama categories.

Ford seems to have built Bernard differently, and monkeyed with programming at multiple levels. I can accept there’s some reason his nature might not be immediately evident to the various authorities he is dealing with, although I do hope they make the effort of an on-screen explanation.

“Kill all of the misbehaving hosts, shut them down forever.”

A narrative in which audiences experience no emotional engagement with the successes of the protagonist is not a successful one. Fiction deepens feeling. If it doesn’t deepen feeling, it’s not fiction.

I don’t think the fans would abandon the show if there were less of the driving beat-up old cars and shooting automatic rifles. There would still be lots of stabbing, fire, and probably some horses, like in the comics.

“Driving My Life Away” really made me miss the Camaro. Phil is paying the karmic price for getting rid of it. NEVER get rid of your third gen F-body.

I know this show hasn’t been particularly realistic since season 1, if ever, but...the National Security Advisor can’t snatch someone from Russia without putting together a team of off-the-books US-based illegals, spearheaded by a mentally ill, inactivated CIA officer? No one who’d had a psychotic break like that, let…

He said reading it was nosey, stupid. Unless you think that’s what promoting this rag looks like. Failed attempt to walk that back.

How are these “incoherent” or “nonsense”? I see that you don’t agree with them, but it doesn’t appear you had any trouble understanding them; I certainly didn’t; the unanimity of the left’s response suggests they didn’t either. Who are these people who can’t understand the Tweets?

Okay, Walking Dead. You’ve done plot-important-but-otherwise-unexplained helicopters before. I didn’t like it then. I like it less now. WHO WAS OPERATING A HELICOPTER ON A SCHEDULE TO PICK UP TRASH WOMAN?! What changed that she has abandoned any knowledge of whatever’s going on there to join a local (?)settlement? If…

Her character isn’t so appealing. She lets her marital bitterness at her husband’s career come to the fore at literally life-or-death moments.

This show is definitely not VERY SERIOUS. The one kid is wisecracking through imminent death on an alien world like a long-term, hardened astronaut, and not like, you know, a kid. And the robot has any capability required by the plot. And the planet has multiple radically different climate-driven environments directly…

SPOILERS, ALBEIT FROM FIRST EPISODE:




The robot is an alien that responds only to the kid’s feelings, and has any capability the plot requires. This is a huge eyeroll from a sci-fi perspective, and also marginalizes the supposed 11-year-old boy genius as soon as it’s brought in.
