I enjoyed this movie, but literally LOLed at your infinite loop afterlife. 🙌

Are we supposed to root for her when she's being awful? Granted that's the majority of the show, but I was more hoping she'd grow up than rooting for her.

I'm not sure she wasn't effective as much as the big business system of perpetual growth is unsustainable. Selling vintage clothes on eBay, turning a profit & moving to your own website with your own mailing list is a great success story. I'm totally on board for watching a show about running that business.

"Oh & cocaine! For my sinuses, of course."

I particularly hate the way Frank "growing a pair" seems to require him being mean/rude to everyone he interacts with. Childan has done nothing but help Frank over & over again. Why is it out of the question for Frank to act civilly toward him?

I was wondering about that. I find Kido's character very compelling & well acted, but I'm sure I wouldn't register a bad accent. Looking at the actor's credits, it seems like casting directors frequently just book for "Asian male".

It felt totally out of place, particularly with the high stakes pacing of the episode. Took me out of the show as I found myself wondering why the scene hadn't been scrapped or at least edited severely.

Somehow I don't think "Mallard Murder" would have been nearly as popular as "Duck Hunt", even if it came in the free bundle.

Just started watching, so apologies for the insanely late reply, but YES! It's so small-minded to assume that someone who is a career waiter has a meaningless life. He goes home with zero stress & a pocket full of cash. If he has even one remotely interesting hobby he's miles ahead of Wellick, whose life is defined by…

Just discovered Black Mirror now so this is probably pointless to reply, but had to comment on "That's My Dog". I re-watch Six Feet Under every few years (one of my all time favorite shows) & I always skip that episode. Once was enough.

The brutal violence of this episode made me consider jumping ship & just shutting it off halfway through. New communities would keep me watching though.

Ruling by fear & brutalizing your crew doesn't make sense as any kind of long term strategy. Negan is constantly surrounded by people with weapons. Mutiny could happen at any moment by any one of them with a quick bullet or two.

I do too. I don't find the post-apocalyptic genre hopeless at all. The world as we knew it has come to an end, but that's exactly what interests me - if we hit the reset button today, what kind of world would we build?

My biggest complaint with this season is how quickly rattled everyone got jumping right to confessing when the cops have nothing substantial against them.

Robert may have been a prick, but it's ludicrous to expect a grandfather to fork over $5000/month to support his grandson forever. The fact that Danny and Eve both had the nerve to ask for more money on top of what they've already been given shows exactly how they think - somebody else should always pick up the tab…

Bill Burr has a funny bit on how old guys like this being exposed as racist just lived too long. If he'd died earlier, his views wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.

I teared up several times this season, but this was the first time I let it all go & it was not pretty. Tragic to watch a kind soul be snuffed out in such a senseless way. Even more poignant by the "villain" being Gerber Bayley who will surely be ruined by this incident & another victim of the broken system we keep…

Are we sure he did steal money from the cash register as a teenager? We saw him as a child keep $8 from a con man that had just bilked his father out of $10. He lost respect for his father & essentially stole 2 cartons of cigarettes from the store inventory. The books would show the register was out $10 - which is…

I don't think it's ambiguous at all. He let them take the body away, making sure that Jimmy missed his chance to say a final goodbye to their mother.

It would be nice to see Bob's philosophy as a counter to Rick instead of Morgan's totally impractical pacifism. I think Bob still understood you may need to do terrible things for the safety of the group, but cautioned about losing too much of your humanity & not being able to come back from that when the world got…
