Yeah I’m definitely not considering how this effects his choice of taking the fouls, just the expected point values of the fouls.

All of this is assuming that when Harden hunts for a foul on a three-pointer, his mental math works this way. He obviously understand the value of the foul, but I kind of doubt he processes it in terms of each attempt getting incrementally more valuable. It strikes me as more likely that he’ll be thrilled with the…

“I’ve been wondering from the first episode why everyone in the afterlife seems to instantly accept that they’re dead, particularly since we know that the memories of how they died are sometimes wiped.”

Probably has something to do with the fact that they were living life on second, then flashed into some weird…

I’m not sure that will matter in the long run on the strategy for drawing fouls. It does more than create an estimate number of points, it also adds a foul to a defender, arguably creating “better looks” from a more gunshy defender.

No because his expected point values will go down. Assuming his first shot is slightly worse than his average (87.9% last year), we’ll say his first shot average is around 83% (As Kyle said his first shot would tend to be 4-5% worse than his second shot). So now his expected value for one shot is:

.83 * 3 = 2.49 (as in…

Eleanor’s final test to save humanity will be letting Chidi and Simone be together already by recognizing Tahani’s her true soulmate.

I think the crunch was his biting the actual glass. Pretty sure I saw him spit out some clear glass right afterwards.

I’ve just realized who Brent reminds me of, and why I suddenly have full faith in the show in making this guy fun to have around for a while.

I was sifting through Amazon Prime last night and decided to put the game on right before this happened. I literally thought he might be dead.

Chekhov’s Disco Janet has been introduced. They HAVE to pay off Disco Janet now.

Apart from Simone’s coma hypothesis, Jason’s immediate move to kill Derek (with Mindy’s glint-eyed encouragement) raises once more the thought that the test for the four initial humans has never really ended. Which would be bad news for Jason.

I find Empire carpet's jingle worse, but this could be a regional thing. 

Absolutely. I mean, Jason doesn’t hesitate at all to “kill” someone. Elenor intentionally tries to impede a Chidi and Simone reunion. Everyone is regressing and I think that’s going to be important.

Of course this is all still test for the original Four as much as a new experiment. The last season finale has shown us that John was there to test Tahani and Simone was there to get to Chidi. Both were widely successful.

With all due respect judge, keep it in your robe.

Stonehenge was a sex thing got me pretty good. I love that pure light elephant

Dead eyes, eat hearts, can’t lose!

Yet another superb life decision from a young man whose lifespan is probably now measured in days.

I don’t care how many boxes of alcohol wipes you go through, if it’s something that’s been in someone else’s ear, it’s not going anywhere near mine.
