The writers certainly know how to abuse their audience.

The last bot Charlotte was going to have her core ball inserted is one of the most striking creations in a series that excels in its designs as well as its use of jaw-dropping architectural works. But it hit me that her core character was in fact so driven to create a utopia of stunning beauty, free from want and the…

Well it is getting better and the list is growing past the usual older, well established actors. There are quite a few (Gil Birmingham and Julia Jones from Wind River are my current favorites but also Martin Sensmeier, Adam Beach, Irene Bedard, Gary Farmer, Tantoo Cardinal, to name a few) used as rotating cast in…

It was. Then it was cancelled, along with all original scripted programming on Cinemax (which is owned by Time Warner). Then, they announced a S3 as an HBO Max exclusive.

Thank you for the actual review, opposed to the summary above.

First, North Korean, not South, but I suspect you’ll get more than a few people with that correction. Per Reddit, the Cernan football refers to him telling Ellen about throwing it on the moon, which is what inspired her to do the tank toss with Apollo 24. Also, Nixon’s portrait has been there all season.

I was promised Season 3 of Warrior.

Doom Patrol is the best thing on that list, followed by Harley Quinn, but they would be nuts after the success of Peacemaker to not let Gunn do whatever he wants, at least until something fails, so i doubt the Waller show is axed at this point.

Oh I’m fuming about the suspension of disbelief that is required for the audience to believe that a two-year mission to Mars keeps Oxy and amphetamines in an unlocked, unmonitored cabinet. Bullshit. That mission would have at minimum one doctor or nurse. Somebody would be dispensing the drugs and keeping track of the…

I can’t decide who is my favorite character: Willie Jack or Big.

The Hale bot was always a little off, her version of Dolores did not have an easy time adjusting to her surroundings and she took out stress by cutting into herself with her fingernails. All these perfect hosts she’s made she’s made as copies of herself, just like OG Dolores did to make herself a Hale. Therefore, I…

That ending theme was great. Kind of Giorgio Moroder-ish. 

Also - there are these insurance ads on TV here in England - that make me wonder, maybe what Charlotte Hale and all the suicidal hosts need is a nice trip to Brighton beach ....

Off-topic, but I commented last week that Tessa Thompson’s look during that whole waltz-in-the-streets scene - with the white dress, slicked-back immaculate pony-tail, and hoop earings - seemed like she was channeling a certain smooth operator from almost 4 decades ago. I went back to watch the music video and I was…

Pretty uneven episode, but damn, I will probably keep watching if only for Ramin Djawadi’s music. He just knocks it out of the park every time.

Was that a waste of Daniel Wu, or what?

Right? In 20 years of six-month missions, nobody on the Moon hooked up? You’d think NASA would have planned for this...

Good catch! That pesky AE-35 unit was the start of all their problems!

The tracking number of the “sprayer” crate is 1968-AE35, which is a fun “2001" in-jokey reference.

Based on many of the sports references between Gene and the security guy, this episode would seem to be set in late 2013. I had always assumed the Omaha story was set in present day, but it’s apparently only about three years after the events of Breaking Bad.

I loved the Dirty Dozen homage with Gene making rhymes…
