This is the kinja I’m here for.

It’s not something I had ever contemplated until the last few minutes of last night’s episode.  Holy shit this show is good.

He doesn’t try, he does.  It’s the end of the episode, and she relents.  Then a few episodes later her tries to pull the same move and she forcibly stops him.

Damn, beat me to it.  That’s my understanding as well.

My understanding is that the current timeline of BCS is 2004, so Saul’s actually a little over four years from catching up with Walt and Jesse in late 2008/early 2009.

The one that stands out to me—but didn’t used to until it was explicitly stated to me this way—is that Walt rapes his wife in the pilot episode. Then he tries to again two or three episodes later (after he’s murdered Ocho Loco, which I will call him forever because of Lalo). From pretty much jump street Walt was…

This was, in fact, the reason.  The last act really only works uninterrupted, and it’s like 16+ mins long.

Certainly thinking at this point that Kim is the cartel’s lawyer in the BB/Cinnabon Gene timeline.

The one about the Mandela effect. I don’t know why it didn’t land for me like his others did, but it didn’t.

The mechanical heart was the giveaway—Jean Luc always thought of himself as not quite human after that, so this is just another step.

Go fuck yourself. There’s no one model for a “real Trekkie.”

Patrick Stewart was in the writer’s room for this show.  The entire time.  He’s a producer.

But only one was good.  It killed his perfect batting average.

Well, when I first floated this theory I was just kinda shooting from the hip and joking, but now I think I’ve half-talked myself into it.  That said, I can’t figure out how the mind transfer would fit into a Lore plan.  The rest of it--get an advanced race to wipe out all organic life--seems like a pretty standard…

Oh shit! They’re dropping hints now:

Also, props on the Alton Brown joke.  Failed to comment on that.

Totally how I feel.

You make many brilliant points. Thank you for replying.

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel about all the negativity about this show. I couldn’t get into Discovery, but I just figured it wasn’t for me. I couldnt’ get into Enterprise either, and only revisited Voyager years after. Hell, the majority or TNG episodes are poor to mediocre at best—-it’s just the two dozen or so…

This is a fair point, but it’s why I said I “mostly just thought of Lore’s ‘end’ as a plothole”— I always thought it was a lame conclusion for one Star Trek’s best villains. And if that was an artistic choice for the end of the character’s arc, fine, but it always struck me as the writers leaving themselves an out if…
