That's a good point about the cast interacting with physical challenges. They've come a long way from the zombie in the well catastrophe.

I guess the point was: They knew that, due to budget constraints, they had some shitty Characters-Off-to-the-Side episodes coming up and they wanted to keep the overarcing tension going for the viewers. With a gimmick. Which…sucks.

Also — SHE'S NOT A WOLF. Ok? Is that stupid business finally done? ED to add, Not saying to you in particular, Much Loved.

When I realized the person throwing the water bottle was Enid, all I thought was "Oh great, Glenn's not gonna make it back to Alexandria this episode."

I did notice her grabbing her bag while Jessica was carrying her out and wondered what was up with that. But by the time the elevator scene happened I had forgotten about it. That was well done.

I agree. I like how you have to connect dots yourself, like with the picture in Luke's medicine cabinet.

I did too. I thought the pilot was slightly stilted, but this one was perfect.

I don't really get the hatred here. I guess you guys really love those phony PSAs. I'm sorry.

News does not have to equal "personal crusade of journalist."

That would be "trawling", then.

Is this recent? I had no idea.

Oh — sorry!

That line in the review made me think the reviewer doesn't read enough about PC culture to understand this season.

The consent forms, the tiptoeing around the use of the "r-word" and misinterpreting what they were saying about that. That's just two things.

How could this reviewer have interpreted those consent forms so wrongly? The idea of universities getting to the point of requiring men to get consent forms from women before they do anything sexual with them is a really old joke, isn't it?

I'm sure half the people laughing at this episode will still be FBing people heartwarming, righteous "PSA"s that are really sponsored content for some PC product or other. We tend to only notice this stuff when it's coming from the political side we dislike.

Actually isn't "Does she know?" exactly what Deckard yells after that scene?

Yeah, it's ok to be impassioned about distinguishing truth and reality from sentimentality and manipulation. They made that pretty clear with Kyle's character in the first couple of episodes of this season.

It does. Or it would. Good cops don't discriminate between people worth saving and people not worth saving. Hank and Lou have been depicted as good cops.

I thought it was a little heavy-handed. A little shoe-horned into the dialogue. Tbh, I didn't think the Ed and Peggy scenes were up this show's usual standard, dialogue-wise. I didn't think either of them would say things that were so theme-revealing.
