Yeah, that quote breaks my heart. There's resignation in every letter.

Entertainment is something I can understand - not because it's right, but because depraved individuals derive that pure distillation of pleasure from things like this. We know this as a fact. They don't question it, really: it feels good; it's hot; she had it coming. These people are easy to understand, if impossible…

"wanted her reaction as a girl - not as an actress" to justify a rape scene with actual physical coercion and no consent

I think you have a lot of wishful thinking and interpretations that are not necessarily wrong, but not outright supported by the material such that they are the only conceivable interpretation available. You've also misconstrued several of my arguments, but not intentionally, and I rambled so I understand.

God damn it how did I miss that one

Yeah, her figuring out the problem of going to Mars was just a delicious moment of subverting - and thus delaying - the moment when Cartman should realize that she's just a normal girl. Of course, he won't, and will blame her for tricking him into thinking she's smart and funny. It'd actually be downright hilarious if…

This annoying binary of "Reviewer passes for this week/We need a different reviewer" is why I can't really get behind your otherwise appreciative and thoughtful comment.

Yes, this is the season where they set everyone up as terrible and hopefully deliver Monkey's Paw ironically-fitting levels of retribution. A self-deprecating reset would be a hilarious capper to an unfocused and pretty sporadically funny season.

What a dull episode, and the Not-so-Dutch troll guy came out of left field and somehow still managed to not be a twist. There is no lesson to be learned except perhaps "there is always a bigger troll" - but they already had Garrison to fill that role and instead have sidelined him to be a sort of soft target for…

No it had a lantern in it, which was obviously placed there by Arnold so Maeve would kick it over and burn to death in a glorious and decadent orgasmic self-immolation!!!111!one!!

Yeah, we've sort of reached the tipping point where the sheer number of clues now might begin to count against the "twist". William straight up talked about "the game" at the end of this episode - and sure enough, he's true to MiB form by holding some unwilling confederate at knifepoint, telling him he's going to help…

The gulf in quality between this and a couple of the most recent episodes (Maeve's delivery and charisma notwithstanding) makes your vacillation more than understandable. Tonight's was confident with its characters, deliberate with its pacing, and pleasingly grandiose in cinematic presentation. It felt to me the most…

"…and then my suspicions were confirmed when I did, and nobody noticed."

Pretty hard to believe with Bernard being Head-Of-Basically-All-Robots-Constantly, the commonplace phrase "Freeze all motor functions" never once disabled him. Maeve just dropped it casually and he was putty in her hands.

She's also developing a "fucking while dying" fetish, which admittedly is out-of-reach for us non-hosts - but I'll try anything once!

How weird is it that we're watching a show where fan theories are being confirmed left and right, instead of Lost where Lindelof had to contort himself and his narrative just to duck them and leave everything ambiguous?

That picture was Logan's sister.
