Without an audience of straight men, straight women, gay women, trans women, genderfluid, etc etc etc......RPDR would still be using the Vaseline filter ten seasons in on Logo (if it were still even on TV at this point). 

But your point still stands.

I think that’s why the Akecheta episode was so lauded....they finally had a straightforward narrative about a character that you could care about. At least for one episode.

We saw Emily’s dead body stacked up on a pile of corpses at the end of the episode and the director of the episode said that up until the post-credits sequence, Emily and William were humans. 

As soon as Stubbs said something along the lines of, “Did you know I was hired by Ford himself? It’s been so long ago, I can’t really remember it,” I knew he was a host. The exact same thing was said about Bernard in S1 (and I think Stubbs might have been the one to say it, or it might have been Elsie).

Emily doesn’t have to be alive to run the fidelity test we saw in the post-credit scene. Emily’s DNA and brain scans were also harvested, the same as William’s. When Dolores was testing the potential Bernard for fidelity, it was taking place inside the Cradle. I assumed this was just a copy of Emily testing the copy…

I know.....I think it’s just wishful thinking on my part that Dany doesn’t make it to the end because I’m not a fan of her character (at least at this point in the narrative).

So Emilia Clarke was one of the first main characters to finish filming, she has no idea what happens in the finale.....does that mean Dany’s dead before the final episode?

I got the same vibe from Yuhua’s look, I also felt it was a callback to when they accused her of not being willing to “ugly up” her drag during the challenge that put her in the bottom two.

See, I was Team Asia for the first half of the season. But somewhere along the halfway point, I started picking up on elements of her personality that felt really disingenuous (I felt the same way about Kameron the whole season). After the saboteur challenge, and the way Asia behaved toward Cracker, it just felt like…

But fuck Cracker’s drag, right? Everyone keeps talking about how lovely and gracious and inspirational Asia is when all she did on Cracker’s last episode was show how immensely jealous of her she was (her inner saboteur says “it’s Cracker’s season”, but then on stage Asia says the cruelest thing she can think of about…

(Finale Spoiler Alert) I thought the same thing, re: Asia. “Yes, I murdered a bunch of butterflies while trying to rip off Sasha Velour’s final lip sync, but I’m also an incredibly empathetic and endearing queen.” 

The impression I got regarding the Kameron beef is that it goes well beyond introversion. That, in fact, Kameron was intentionally “introverted” and pursued that particular edit to justify her standoffishness, as well as to make herself look more sympathetic. That in other situations, Kameron has no problem dropping…

I hope not. I mean, it’s a good theory until you get to the Maeve part. I want Maeve to be Maeve. And besides, Maeve is in the trailer for next week. She is still whole enough to be repaired.

They added all that exposition after test viewings. Evidently, the movie originally ended with the son gouging his own eyes out (foreshadowed multiple times throughout the film), and all the chanting and whatnot, but none of that narration.

But would you be able to do the things you do in GTA5 to an AI that looks and behaves exactly like another human being?

I think you’re right. I think he wanted to see if Bernard had gone off the deep end like Dolores.

Seriously. Look back on season 1, 2, and 3 and you see much leveler playing field. Everybody looked a shade busted, which was why it was so amazing when someone really turned it out.

I’ve had chronic GI issues since at least my early 20s, and after many tests and scopes and whatnot over the years, my diagnosis continues to be just plain old IBS. I started taking a multi-vitamin everyday starting early this year, and I can tell a perceptible improvement in my overall wellness in the last few…

I have literally no idea what my genetic predisposition is when it comes to menopause. None of the women on my Mom’s side of the family kept their reproductive organs long enough to find out what natural menopause looked like, and all of the women on my Dad’s side of the family are too prissy to talk about it.
