Yeah, history isn’t at all full of Jobs/Wozniak-like pairs in the tech-space.

Oh, I believe there once was a Mr. Wilford though. 

If Melanie is stuck picking 400 people to repopulate society, I don’t think the metrics she described could called eugenics. It’s not any different than the choice Clark faced on the 100 a couple seasons ago, and no one compared her with a Nazi scientist.

Right, so theoretically, killing Kane wouldn’t fit into the trope, because they certainly didn’t intend to kill off the character when this whole thing started two years ago.

So are HBO Go and HBO Now, I’m not sure I follow your point?

Sure, when it’s the big company and we’re the end users, it’s always a toss up on who is screwing us. But two times in a row? I’m now blaming Roku  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your implication is that they forgot or just didn’t get to Roku in time, but the reports are that Roku played hardball in the negotiations, to the determine of their customers. Same thing happened IIRC with CBS and the Super Bowl in HDR 4K. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, I start blaming Roku. 

Listen, I’m as pissed about Single Parents as the next guy, but stop blaming ABC because people weren’t watching. Viewership of SP dropped 25% this season from numbers that weren’t that good in the first place. 

I’m curious what show that was? Jamie’s abuse in the first season is as core to this show as any event outside of Claire’s first trip through the stones.

Which is what happened (Well, not the hanging, but still). 

No, completely fair; I just didn't remember that at all. 

Using it -- even OVER using it -- is one thing, but to say that she LIKES it is something completely different. And pretty damn insulting. 

it added in an extra sexual assault for Claire

Oh c’mon. Disagree with her thought process that it was a too common occurrence of the time, but to accuse her of liking writing it is just ridiculous.

Frustrated by the choices or not, the sexual violence has been visited equally on the male characters (Fergus and Jamie’s rapes) as the females. 

Yeah, I think I misunderstood/misheard that conversation. 

Thank you. I misunderstood that conversation.

So, there’s another time traveler around. And he sucks. He doesn’t do anything to help Claire, so I hope the show addresses that when he inevitably returns.

So, legitimately, why are you still watching? In five seasons, this is the fifth rape of a major character -- all directly pulled from the source material. It’s obvious whether you agree with the author or not, it’s not something she is going to shy away from in her storytelling. So, what are you still doing watching?
