They could have taken an episode to explain it if it was that particularly complicated, instead of all the forgettable one-offs that have been in this season.

I don't care for the show much. Telling a story about terrible people I want to see fail. Like a significantly less funny and entitled It's Always Sunny. But it is fascinating and disturbing how it and Dunham are a lightning rod for some terrible human behaviour, especially in a site where I felt people would be above…

Or sexy, sexy Wildlings.

I think you're falsely comparing to Fringe, because AH is not following a parallel path at all imo. AH has almost half of the episodes to do what Fringe did in 20, in terms of delivering a satisfying season with overarching plot elements. And weaving them into the story, or not having them at all, was never a Fringe…

I think that world building for AH is not comparable to Fringe, at least how you're going with it. The world building of Fringe in the later seasons added on to what came before. The amber was a way to stop those anomalies on the other side, which were caused by Walter crossing the other universe, something hinted at…

Yes, it seemed that direction or Keely himself watched an old TNG episode the night before

Sounds like a fun idea. I'm bothered at how the production order for the last three episodes came out, as intended surprisingly. The last two episodes, 11 and 12, could have been in the middle of the season and made little difference. We're in the final stretch, AH should be giving us way more plot

"I'm comfortable without know what's beyond The Wall, or where the city is for now. If this was say, in the middle of season 2, I'd be less comfortable with that"

and then there's that wall, which is weird because they were at a pretty shitty part of town already. How bad can it be over there? Are they like Star Trek "sanctuaries"? Is it actually keeping anybody in or out? sigh

I think a B is fair. It was solid, even though the ending was particularly contrived. What particularly got to me though was that this is the penultimate episode of the season, if not series, and still no additional plot momentum.

Actually even more annoying, the show has forgotten that Pam was training to be a field agent. Last season they were slowly bringing her out to the field, but yeah that seems all gone now in favor of whatever this is.

I'm kind of surprised that the Chrome victim's house was so penetrable by just a regular dude. Last episode they mentioned a 10% rise in kidnappings or something, and in a city where police "are losing the battle", but whatever

Finally they've started to use Stahl somewhat effectively. She's actually doing detective stuff, instead of just victim counseling and being the in-house IT department.

Being aware and still running through the motions feels like the writers having their cake and eating it too. They get to pull all this crap and still get lauded for it due to a couple lines of self-awareness five episodes in.

I've HATED what they've done to Pam this season, that's now almost half done. They've turned her into this useless cokefiend of a character that now suffers from excessive male-gaze. Yes the writers pointed it out in this episode, but having almost five episodes of terribly useless Pam to get to this point has not…

A problem that I have with their use of the mother is having her as this idealized character for Ted. And giving her so little screentime takes away from seeing her as a fleshed out character in her own right

After that scene of him screaming while being molded by the machines, I really half expected the Fringe theme to start playing

If I had to choose with how half-baked the show turned out to even a kind of LO: 2048, yeah that would at least be something with a well defined model.

I can only assume its Westeros

Can someone explain to me why Proctor killed Jason Hood. Sure he was having sex with his niece, was he just really uptight about that sort of thing, jealous,?
