Prediction Corner: Huck is the CRM mole, hence her going off on her own and the call reporting their progress in to the CRM. Earlier on I would have assumed it was too obvious and a fakeout but they’ve since showed they’re all in on the obviousness. 

For those who missed the initial orders Shing Yin managed to work things out with Threadless to not screw themselves over financially so it’s back to being available.

Amusingly the quasi-canon of the books uses the Augment Virus to answer why those Trill look different (the same reason different era Klingons have ridges or not) 

As a non-American I can understand Poll Watchers but Poll Challengers is such a baffling and disturbing notion - especially the fact that it *doesn’t* count as voter suppression when, yeah, obviously that’s the entire point.

Oh boy that starting voice over - that was probably the most painful thing about this show yet.

Trill, the humanoids, have spots (except the ridged TNG variant). Adira is human with a Trill, the symbiont, joined with them.

There are non-binary individuals who still use she/her pronouns so the character being referred to as such does not mean that they aren’t non-binary.

It wouldn’t have been a bad episode if not a finale. Not great, but not bad. As one though it is pretty disappointing. 

Kirkman states TWD takes place in a universe where zombies were never part of pop-culture. Hence not being the common term and people not going for headshots from the start. I do still roll my eyes though. 

Ah the return of The Walking Dead trope I hate the most - it’s a death sentence if they bite us but it is perfectly safe to punch them repeatedly in the face with our bare hands.

The hack spams the hackers discord, youtube, and website - finding the idiot online isn’t the hard part.

Google: Stadia, it’s great for streaming!
Hutchinson: Not if I have anything to say about it! Better cough up a licensing fee or a shame if anything happened to your streams.... 

I suppose they could just be going with an ‘exploring trauma’ situation with Detmer (since they ruled out concussion) but it definitely feels like something more is up. Perhaps Control or perhaps something came along for a ride from the wormhole (certainly not our first ‘wormhole aliens’ after all).

Yeah unless it turns out Robert is twins swapping places he felt like completely different characters across the episodes. 

“One day, I’m gonna die. That’s all there is to it. Hey, it’s too bad, but I’ve got to make room. I’m using a lot of oxygen and such—I think it’s good use of oxygen myself, but of course, I’m a little prejudiced on the matter.” - James Randi

Chickpeas I can see maybe happening and ‘hot new trends on staples’ because that can literally mean anything and thus means nothing. The rest I doubt.

Honestly you *should* be teaching your kids how to deal with major disappointments and this is a great way to start given that, in terms of life, it’s minor but it’s going to feel major to them.

How do you react? How do you find ways to cope? What do you do instead? These are skills to learn instead of having a…

Indomie is amazing.

Tried their mi goreng chips the other night - not as satisfying as the noodles but the flavor profile works.

Yeah this is getting pretty bleak (in terms of quality, the tone does nothing at all). Maybe not as bad as Fear the Walking Dead’s early seasons but pretty dire. An episode devoted to someone’s backstory that doesn’t actually give the backstory, the big bad being the obvious big bad and no nuance or subtlety, and…

Definitely a hard disagree here. I guess how ones takes the finale depends on how one feels about the Dani and Jamie relationship. It always worked for me so this was a really strong end even after the previous episode sapped momentum.
