James Gunn is reacting to this, a wacky, light piece of news about a crazy lawsuit of the sort you used to see in small articles on page 9 of the local newspaper and that radio talk show hosts used to revel in making lame jokes about, in a totally normal and appropriate manner for the pre-social media era. The…

Yes, this is exactly what I was saying. Gloria isn't practiced at being alone. She's used to sleeping in bed with someone else.

David Thewlis' performance is probably one of the few things that's really pulling me in this season, but I have to agree that his weird non-sequitur speech about refugees and an economic apocalypse was completely bizarre and out of place. Vargas is a totally strange, otherworldly, pseudo-demonic villain, like Lorne…

Gloria not unmaking the other side of the bed doesn't show that she's practiced at being alone, it shows the exact opposite. When you're practiced at living alone, you just sleep in the middle of the bed, dude.

The Minnesota/North Dakota of Fargo (both the movie and the TV series) is a fantasy location, like the Shire or something. There's no point drawing any comparisons, geographically or culturally, with the real Minnesota. You should let it go.

It's funny, I never took the robotic enemies of the original run literally until the new season started calling attention to it. It always seemed to me like it was just a stylistic decision that allowed Tartakovski et al to sneak bad ass, gruesome violence into a children's cartoon where it wouldn't otherwise be…

I know the new season has already done a lot in terms of subverting the "robotic enemy" convention of the old show, but I still enjoyed the complete flipping of the convention on its ear when the bad guy that looked and moved like a robot was torn open and revealed to be a human being underneath.

It would be interesting if that issue got raised in this season, though. No one has ever pointed out how fundamentally selfish Jack's quest really is, or questioned why the hell anyone born in the post-Aku world would ever help him accomplish it.

There's nowhere to go. There's really nowhere to go…

Ian, you answer my question in the affirmative but then all you do is repeat your assertion that studies exist showing a causal link to violent behavior. I asked you whether it weighed this risk factor, which I do not deny exists, against the potential, and likely understudied and ephemeral, benefits that may arise…

Felix was not an unwilling participant. This was established and even directly stated by Maeve after Felix made the software updates she'd requested rather than deactivating her as Sylvester wanted and expected. It's true that he was terrified by Maeve's violence but I think he was sensitive, disillusioned, and felt…

I think it was mostly a wink to the terrible sequel to the film Westworld, Futureworld, which had a scene featuring samurai robots.

Do those behavioral studies weigh the risks of heightened aggression/antisocial behavior with the benefits of demonstrating trust in your children and encouraging freedom of thought by allowing them to explore media freely? No? Then maybe stop acting like your opinion on what age it's okay for your kid to watch The…

You're the internet tribunal of armchair parents, writing off anyone who doesn't share your (probably theoretical) parenting approach as bad. But sure, I'm the one acting like a jerk.

Wow, how responsible, your parents didn't trust you to distinguish between fantasy and reality when you were in god damn high school. Bunch of weirdly puritanical ideas about parenting up in this thread.

Wait, people are still talking about the William/Man in Black theory as "foreshadowed"? You wouldn't call it "revealed"?

Or the video was computer generated, and she's another AI but without a physical body. Or there's actually a robotic version of her somewhere else.

Huge smile on my face during that last ten minutes. Evil Anthony Hopkins is the best Anthony Hopkins.

All of the robots have an "inner life" when there isn't an audience, though. We've seen tons of scenes that are just robots interacting with other robots. The entire introductory sequence was a romance between two robots.

Actually, the idea that the robotics technology being developed at the park is going to be used to resurrect the dead got set up in the very first episode, when Ford mused to Bernard about how one day soon, "We may even resurrect the dead."
