Pivot Front Door! Perfect representation of Cory’s character.

Cory in space? I cannot fathom how UBA believes that would increase viewership.

Clement gets the message that absolutely no one wants to listen to his cassette tape.

The smoking gun is no more. I wasted time reading about the Detroit River’s depth (53 ft at its deepest!) and speed. Pointless with no prints. Taunt episode including the reprise of Raylan, a table, and a gun for a possible showdown.

What a surprising lovely painful episode. Seeing Maximus in his youth as he is visited by a “star person” and knowing how all this plays out leading to his isolation and mental health treatments. Grandma Mable! Fixico already destined to be a medicine man and in the present day we know he now faces his own demise. Maximus’ friends dismiss his visitation so will Bear’s friends do the same? Is the future already set to repeat this story or will Bear’s friends accept him? Is this one of the points in the episode? A haunting powerful story that will linger in my thoughts.

Rappelling hooks and rope should be on every rangers/ security. Train more on rope skills and tactical movement and less on search and battering rams. Although their search methods need help as well. Who is training these groups? Meanwhile, Juliette has mad leaping and landing skills.

Glloria cries “I have to go back!” If only the Oceanic Six could help. Such a long gap between shift changes for the nursery. But nice pacing for unraveling a few mysteries while adding more questions.

It only the steam containment chamber had a release valve, perhaps a button to push every 108 minutes.

Fascinating first episode. I was distracted pondering “why no elevators?” until we see the dismal generator for the entire silo!

Kendall and Fikret echoing Logan and Colin brought a painful quiet sense of loneliness, isolation, and loss as the last beat of a heart pounding episode. Kendall seeking self- justification by verbalizing his need to blame others, to wash his hands of responsibility by muttering to his driver, who cannot respond, is Kendall only speaking in an echo chamber.

The pairing of the magic show and a father’s tears with Wiley’s theatre and the man’s tears was perfect.

There’s hatch! Thanks Damon Lindelof. What was the acronym? Hidden Access Tactical Camouflage Hideout. Hee.

George and Martha host a party.

It’s not the real estate, but the stock values that is Mattson’s concern. Mattson understands that this announcement will drive up the stock price, raising the valuation above his offer. If Kendall had failed in the presentation, no matter, but as Mattson watched the positive tweet response he knew the valuation would rise. This would void his current purchase proposal as the board would expect a higher purchase proposal. This is part of Kendall and Roman’s “let’s tank the deal” plan prior to the presentation. (Mattson originally said he wanted Waystar for the massive data/content library for his streaming service GoJo. His current motivations have changed.) Caveat: Literature major here who only passed Calculus by crying to the professor. All my phaux business knowledge is thanks to hours of television.

It may just be a win for the day, but seeing Kendall floating face up with a fleeting smile as opposed to floating face down in Italy, brought tears to my eyes. Kendall writing the number 1 in the sand to declare he is the “number one boy” while Roman plays and replays his father’s altered words was poignant and beautifully edited.
