I have a feeling that GGB is here because someone in casting watched Mozart in the Jungle and decided Arthur had a touch of Rodrigo to his personality. Otherwise, this makes no sense whatsoever. The actress who played Miranda was phenomenal, I loved this episode to bits. Anyone feeling the anxiety as the main characters don't think of putting on a mask or even tying a shirt on their faces, even in freaking Malaysia where everyone is already doing that due to a world-ending virus? Sure, let's duct tape our air vents and continue to walk around bare faced for no reason at all...

Lol, but I did feel bad for him, she was lying to him and wanted to get back together for shady reasons.

Hee, I had a very strange moment during that scene, as I sat at our dinner table, eating our healthy dinner, with my husband. I don't think the issue is what he was doing but that she was unhappy with that and with him, and apparently was not actually interested in the whole eating healthy thing he'd started. Also, it seems like she didn't like the show they were watching. We only watch shows we both like, it's totally different 😅

Husband said it would be great for me, who constantly lose my phone if I can have it fly back to me heh. But I can see the biggest use being using it for the photo/video functions as a drone - drone selfies, drone event videos, all with your phone. This could be huge.

I'm surprised at how much I loved this little series, it was so nice! I agree with everyone who thinks that the Jolene thing was very trope-y, they should make up for that by giving us a spinnoff with Jolene as the main character, she seemed really compelling to me.

Maybe it's bigger on the inside?

a. I think Helm was an alpha female, no? The one who makes the feelies... b. Nope. Also, if they were so flexi on gender preference, where was the guy on guy sex? c. No, and in the last episode, when CJack is talking to Bernie he almost tells us! "You made Betas for your pleasures, gammas to serve you, and Deltas to..." and then doesn't finish his sentence! So maybe in season 2 we'll find out... Bernard was right that John doesn't take responsibility for anything... But a lot of what happened has me scratching my head. Why was Frannie being reconditioned? And why is she the one with the rod in the end? Why did the Epislons stop attacking when Indra was turned off from the network? Was it controlling them during their revolution? I'm also a little baffled by John's reasoning besides the usual "I'm pissed so I'll just stir up some shit" that seems to be his default since getting to New London. Also, did anyone catch this moment: I think the Goya's 3rd of may painting had appeared earlier in the show (maybe in Mustafa's mini-art museum?). After reading more about it, it seems to be interpreted as showing the horrors of war, no matter the cause. But I'm still a bit confused about what the show is really trying to say... what is the message?

Well, When Calls the Heart, the other silly show I've been binging did this EXACT SAME STORYLINE. A cook, who is actually a doctor, but is traumatized by the death of his wife... I also like her! She had me at "I don't do awkward"

The scene where they set the fire had me laughing out loud, it was so dumb. If only Lexie had set the fire, without the other 2 kids around, then maybe. The three of them out of the blue? No, that wasn't built up to AT ALL.

Hee, I'm so biased towards him that when people say they've expressed racist sentiments, my whole brain goes, WHAT?? PACEY IS NOT RACIST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? She could have cut out the hand flipping people off... it's not like the photo was well framed to begin with, so not much of a difference. This episode had me agreeing with Izzy and Mia: I really hate Elena. What she did to Pearl was so vicious... I hope Pacey divorces her. And that Izzy goes to live with him. The Keds thing was absurd, I really hate it when people bring up the argument "if you want to live in this house, you have to do everything a say". Children don't have a choice in that, and it DOESN'T mean they can't have any kind of decision making or personality. They get to be individuals. It was petty. She is a terrible mom to Izzy. They provide for her physically, but look up the experiment with the fuzzy mom and the monkey to see how important having your mother's love is - more important than almost anything else. Pearl may have had it hard in her upbriging, and Mia is messed up in several ways but she always loved her child. Although it seems like Pacey loves her, he doesn't actually protect her from Elena, so it's not enough. If he did, maybe she wouldn't feel so alone.

I absolutely loved this show, I thought it was like an Indian teenaged Jane the virgin. Team Paxtom here, I thought Ben was really cruel to her early in the season, and I didn't feel like he really managed to make up for it later. Loved the therapist, the cousin, the plotlines, the jokes, the heart. I really hope Corona doesn't ruin this one.

Ah that explains things somewhat. Also apparently there was way more of their dramatic almost-wedding that we didn't get to see: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/03/9531926/giannina-damian-wedding-dress-love-is-blind-scenes-cut

OMG, yes, I came here just to talk about that. She was totally shaken, and I would've been as well. WTF? What the hell was he doing? Trying to see how much of a pushover she would be? The guy had the gall to be actually surprised when she said that they were not going to see each other again.

Pretty sure she said *she* was bouncing to the next dick, as per the Beyonce lyrics she quoted, "Who the fuck do you think I is? You ain't married to no average bitch, boy You can watch my fat ass twist, boy As I bounce to the next dick, boy" Or did I miss something? Hah @ridethemaverick, Jynx!

Yes, I think she still wishes she had been attracted to him, hence the tears. If it's really true that she only goes after the wrong guys, some serious investment in therapy might be more helpful than going on a reality show... she seems lonely.

I'm not clear on how this made any sense (or maybe it didn't) in this particular instance, but I think they were not going to work out in the long run. We've got a "The Way we Were" situation where Jamie is all "people are more important than their principles" and Callie is pretty much in the "People ARE their principles" side of the argument. Also, I think Gael is a much better fit for where she is in her life right now. I find them cute together. I'm still giddy that Dennis and Davia are FINALLY a thing. I wish the scene had been a bit longer, but I guess there wasn't much to say after he confessed to loving her, being advised to not trust his feelings, and immediately saying "I think that's BS". Short, to the point, and very much earned. Well done show. Dear Marianna, if you are going to sleep with your boss, can you maybe not do it at your workplace? I mean, I get it, look at him, and he's all sweet and your bf is into your roomate, but at least find another location... I doubt Isabella actually slept with Raj and am not looking forward to how that's gonna playout... whatever. I like Alice and her new love interest. Can they get rid of Sumi and Lindsay? They're really annoying.

It's so weird that those things didn't make it into the episodes... it would've been good tv. The getting freaky thing: the permanent video camera might have been a deterrent, lol.

I find it a little off putting how much he's into her despite: 1) all the red flags that he's definetly second choice, 2) How not interesting or charming she is. I'm really confused as to why he's so into her. She had earned some points with me when she shot down Barnett's bs speech, but then she lost them all as she continues to pine after him. I think part of the reason she hasn't dumped Mark yet is so she can stay in the hotel and be around Barnett... it's really not a good look. I FF scenes with Kelly and her guy, they're really boring.

Yes, but for my own viewing pleasure, these two should get together already! Hee, this latest obstacle to their romance actually makes plot sense, so I guess we're probably gonna have to wait until season 3. But I like these two so much! Isabella bugs me a LOT, she's been there like a week and is very much on purpose flirting with Raj. I mean if you're a good person who suddenly finds themselves crushing on your new roomate's bf you do make an effort to either uncrush or find new living arrangements. She seems to making an effort to put herself between him and Mariana instead... the only good think about this, is that I really like Mariana with her boss, so there's a higher likelihood of that happening now. The engagement ring plot was such a cliché, saw the resolution coming a mile away.

Either that or we have a situation like Leo in Humans, where he was perhaps at death's door and got turned into a cyborg as a last resort....

Well played show. Well played. Loved the twist, looking forward to where it goes next.

Wait, this has not been made clear in the books or show? It seems pretty obvious to me that any coup of that scale requires military backing. Now the military may be divided, but they certainly had to have some serious pretty high up support to get to where they are.

I totally agree. Just came back to this forum to see if hindsight and new opinions could make me wanna watch the show again. Nope, still bitter. Was there no one to tell him this was a terrible idea? Geez... And btw, I find it ironic that he decided to kill a character in order to write the better story lines he wants to write, but did so with a terrible story line that only makes sense if you squint and wave away a bunch of inconsistencies. Sure, that'll make us confident ya know what ya doing Rob.

Yeah, I wasn't actually the kind of fan that had memorized this... I watched it over a decade ago, didn't remember the speech. But I guess for those who did it was a big spoiler.

So I just realized that the episode title is a reference to this scene: Way to rub it in RT
