But then THOR… be saaad (FIFY)

I loved that he sat down to watch the stable boys with her! Trevor is EOH: Equal Opportunity Horny.

Maybe on TV they can!

Maybe we can get a ghost photography episode, where at least Jay can see their pictures.

I believe in her ability to swim back! But holding that weapon the whole way? Uh…

Well… he and Allison have now defended Patty to Kevin the exact same way at the exact same time. He is not totally unaligned to her.

I have unexpectedly found all five seasons of NewsRadio on Amazon Prime!

I did think she was too conveniently available, but she had another partner in season two, didn’t she? I am fairly confident Ellen dared Congress to impeach her and hasn’t resigned as president. I’m not sure I’d want to be Presidential Girlfriend, either. But it’s a wonderful scene to see them finally meet openly and honestly and free of a sense of shame (on Ellen’s part).

I hope they moved the Hey Look at Me Over Here hand gun and tire iron before they left Danny in exile.

I rewatched the end, to see Ellen’s speech and the North Korean again. Margot gets very thoughtful during her speech. I think she is inspired by Ellen’s bravery, and her unwillingness to let fear of secrets affect future actions. This was an episode about letting/not letting other people take the fall for you. SPECULATION: I am certain the Russian delegation is confident they control Margot. If Margot spills the beans, comes forward, they lose that control. I don’t believe Margot will let Aleida take the fall for anything Margot has done. The show has always pointed out how smart Margot is. I think she’ll find some version of win-win. I think Danny will clear Nick’s name somehow, too.

Loved the episode! Yay, Ellen! I was so proud of her refusal to sign a bill she didn’t like and her refusing to be blackmailed by secrets. I found Dev’s speech about what would have happened if the British colonists gave up early and went home a little tone deaf/oblivious. Not surprised that Dev would be tone deaf but not sure if the show writers thought they were inspiring the audience, too. European and British colonists giving up early and going home was not a terrible possible outcome, historically speaking. The whole speech bugged me.

Well, to Deb it’s just business and Ava probably works very hard to suppress it/is in denial.

They think that the stated reason for the Jamestown catastrophe was a hoax. That the Tracy/Gordon Heroic Act is a cover story for something. I sort of lost the thread on the specifics.

There’s a Ghosts exhibit outside the San Diego Comic-Con! It’s “Pete’s Friend Zone,” and it is set up like a summer camp with little games (like archery) and has a tent you can lounge in. I walked by on my way to the trolley from work but didn’t go inside.

Maybe that’s what attracted Nandor to the family.

Nando turned him, probably? Made him a vampire?

Yes. And it totally supported Allison’s point that no one ever paid attention to her feelings or her pain. Even then Five was still laser focused on Viktor and missed every single Allison Is Acting Out signal.

Someone in my watch group thought maybe the resonance from Fei clinking her champagne flute on Christopher disrupted his ability to hold it together. Side Note: Just because your robot mother is broken/powered off doesn’t mean she is dead forever.

Speaking of which… I remember watching Pathfinder land on giant screens at the county fair. I wondered if those scenes with the white tents was real footage from such an event.

I’d be happy watching them as friends/mentors even if they never explicitly collaborate. Deb knows The Business but Ava knows The Town (Hollywood).

I had made that exact same assumption.

The fact that Lumon was founded in 1866 and the smile wall pictures in the Perpetuity Gallery seemed to be all(?)mostly(?) African-American faces gave me some real Get Out vibes. Do we think Mr. Milchik’s smile is in that gallery?

I wouldn’t dare presume to call this a good analysis but: Everything Lumon is blue or green. However… Helly’s hair, Gemma’s last dress, the fire extinguisher, the book cover, and half of The Wellness Candle are red. Mark’s pajamas in the opening credits are red. Petey’S robe is red/blue stripes. Dylan used a red strap to tie the door shut. These are all symbols of “outside.” Outside the box thinking, life outside, breaking out. The candle is red and green. Poor Gemma is only half something outside. It is an interesting theory above that she might not have an Outie. Petey never really broke away from Lumon either.

Could Christopher be the name they gave to some alien tech? Like some flying R2D2 equivalent?

I had the exact same thought. Also… what was with all The Martian references? Just some tribute to a writer’s favorite movie or something? “Work the problem,” “It’s not the worst idea,” one of the six seats was for a botanist (“anybody can grow plants on Mars”)…
