Testing, 1, 2, 3.

Incredibly thankful for this miracle, and to have shared a small role in the miraculous fan movement that brought it to pass. What an absolutely amazing fandom. Like no other.

Does not compute. April Fools? Is this calendar working?

People address her as "Riley Blue" because that's her stage name, not because of her hair. The people who call her that are those who have met her in the context of her being a DJ. But yeah, the "what's with the hair" was about Puck copying her look.

Here's something. Yes, most of our protagonist cluster (minus Wolfgang and plus Amanita) have now had their first in-person meeting offscreen. However, this has happened while they're all on blockers 24/7 to protect themselves from the effects of Wolfgang being tortured, with each member clearly getting on blockers as…

It looks like a one-time heroin relapse, triggered by his father's death, from here. Aside from this moment of weakness, his withdrawal symptoms seem to have been managed very well, thanks to his expert-level support system (Kala & Riley), but this relapse functions as a significant setback for his recovery process.

Yes, the resonance between Will's disorientation from the drugs and Capheus's disorientation from the riot looks like it overwhelmed any other connections from being able to break through.

Yes, exactly, that seems to be the most likely of the above hypotheses at the moment. Thanks for restating it more clearly and directly.

It was a statuette of Ganesh. With a card that read: "Caution: Easily Broken." Perhaps there's something nefarious inside, that would be revealed if/when it breaks. Or perhaps it's a veiled threat, either against the religious institutions being targeted by the corporate interests, or against Kala herself, a…

Pretty sure this is the first time we actually see Nomi's dad, although he was mentioned once in the first season, when Nomi told Lito how her dad hated that she played with dolls, and made her go to swim lessons in hopes that she would receive the masculine conditioning in the boys locker room that he did when he was…

It probably also helps when one of those individuals is a highly trained, well-educated pharmaceutical chemist and another is an experienced and discerning consumer of street drugs who has doubtless shepherded many friends and acquaintances through the process of withdrawal.

Had to rewind and rewatch maybe 3 or 4 times, but eventually got a decent handle on the backroom power dynamics at BPO that led to this situation, yeah.

Puck explains that he was on blockers when they first met at the lab, so they couldn't connect at that point, so he went to the show while not on blockers in order to connect with her in hopes of future happy-fun-times.

And they explain why they chose to take that risk. By that point, rumors are probably spreading about a cluster ballsy enough to take on BPO, probably at least partly due to Riley's successful trust-building with Hoy, and word spreading through the Archipelago. The idea that BPO might not be so invincible is beginning…

Hoy mentioned that sensates generally don't go to big pre-announced public events like that unless they're on blockers, for purposes of self-preservation. One imagines that a last-minute "stealth" show announced through Periscope might seem safer, and invite greater risk-taking behavior from cautious sensates who…

Liking the change. Once comments are successfully loaded and the comment window is maximized, it seems to function far more smoothly and reliably on this iPad than this site ever has before. Much smoother scrolling. A bit laggy actually typing and posting, but worth the trade-off. Much nicer comment reading…

Maybe they're doing voice searches. "OK Google, how do you spell…"

This was the season finale, so it's all wrapped up for you. Unwrap and enjoy at your leisure; Merry Christmas and happy binging!

Loved Ken & Todd exchanging helpless shrugs as their respective groups parted ways.

Headcanon: The differences in Dirk Gently's demeanor/personality/behaviors between this TV series and the books are the result of repeated "feedings" on him by the Rowdy 3.
