Very unlikely that Guy from Québec would put up a Canadian flag on his side of the room. It would be the Québec fleur-de-lys.

Seems really stupid to send a mortal human to repair the Loom when you've got two Asgardian gods standing right there. Loki took a beating from the Hulk way back when, so we know he's pretty resistant. Of course, Victor getting shredded will serve to explain the many variants that will be seeded throughout the multiverse when the Loom resets or coalesces or whatever it'll do after the blow-up. Hot chocolate from a machine is no way as good as they made it look. Bleh...

In the last shot of Iris in the cab, we see a KYAL building in the distance so if the cult still exists and Iris is there maybe a sequel is possible.

Those were 50s cars judging by the huge fins on one of them. I had to rewind because I wasn't sure what I'd seen until they got into the sketch and I understood the setting. I still don't get why it's set in the past, though. I found it neither funny nor relatable. Just an excuse for Heidi to try out a "gal Friday" character, I guess. She looked great as the Seven-of-Nine type character in the sci-fi sketch, though. Look out, Jeri Ryan!

I should think after you've snuffed out billions of lives over the years, you develop a pretty thick skin. If they're now more self-aware, they'll be in for a bad time when they think back about their past actions.

I don't buy their reactions to seeing the branches being pruned. Wasn't that the TVA's job before? They should be used to lives fading out of existence.

I noticed that, too. At one of the competitions, when he got the signal to start running, it looked like his legs were weighted down with lead, the way he was clomping along. That poor kid is just too bottom heavy. I swear he's got the wrong build for a male: wide hips, heavy thighs, and narrow shoulders.

If you're still "taping" shows on a VCR, I'd say pretty bad.

What the hell is Brandon the Content Creator doing out in the jungle? Or out in the real world, for the matter? And so much crying and whining from so many people. Does anyone know when Australian Survivor is coming back? I really need a palate cleanser.

So I'm thinking a lot of French people will be "practicing their ing-GLISH" whenever Daryl is around or there's a lot of dialogue in a scene. That's gonna feel awkward after a while. Of course the zombaby turns out to be Laurent who's, let me guess, special blood just might hold the secret of a cure. Hmmm, seems familiar...

Is there a reason why the faces of the waiteress and the doctor were drawn in a different style? Were they meant to represent the actual voice actors?

As soon as they mentioned bringing the "golden child" cross country to save humanity, I immediately thought of "The Last of Us" and that this show is trying to piggyback on the other's success. Eh, whatever. As long as Daryl was getting a free bath, they couldn't have thrown in a haircut? Really sick of the stringy hair. I'd even settle for a manbun. The change of venue is welcome and of course the scenery promises to be gorgeous, so hurrah for that! And so clever that a history of gun control means that they're reduced to medieval weapons and flintlocks. Still, French military weapons must still be available so we'll probably be seeing some of those eventually. I'll be looking forward to see what the story is with the new acid zombies. Must be all that rich French food going rancid once they turn.

Wow, flashback to my teen years in the 70s! The actor playing young Brownie really nailed it. Could his dialogue have been looped in by the adult actor? The voice and accent seemed too perfect at times.

I was trying to think who Graham Greene reminded me of in this episode and I settled on Yemana (Jack Soo) from Barney Miller. Something about the voice and line delivery, I guess. Not sure where they shot episode two what with Bear walking across a desert or salt flat under a blazing sun and then the rest of the episode looking like every show filmed in rainy British Columbia.

So if Gizmo is part vampire hunter and part vampire, is he going to turn into Blade? I want to see a Wesley Snipes cameo.

That hotel room may not have been the most expensive but it still struck me as out of the price range for a chess hustler. It would have been more believable for them to hole up in a pay-by-the-hour fleabag hotel, but I don't know if such a thing exists in downtown Toronto.

I still think the actor playing Kirk reminds me too much of Jim Carrey to accept him in the role, especially in his reactions at the beginning of this episode. Any moment I expect an "All righty, then!" to come out of his mouth. They do seem to be focussing a lot on La'an with this episode and somewhat in the first one of the season. Let's get back to the main cast ASAP. So far, it feels like the new season hasn't really started yet.

Despite this episode being basically a courtroom drama, this felt as close to classic Trek ( and I include both TOS and TNG) as I 've seen in many years. Also, glad to see Pike cut down his hair mountain a bit. I forget, does La'an Noonian-Singh carry any of the superior genes from Khan or is she just a relative?

These last two episodes about a werewolf and a demon were more Tales From the Crypt than what I expect from Black Mirror. Where's the tech angle? Still, I did enjoy the dark comedy of this one.

I don't find it believable that a ship that size could move like that. It doesn't look right. It would be like an aircraft carrier dodging torpedoes by swerving like a speedboat. A more realistic space battle would be like the one between Kirk and Khan in "The Wrath of Khan."

I got the feeling Lois was hinting that Superman could somehow crank the generators at superspeed if necessary. Maybe I just read too many comics where Superman used to perform these kind of stunts. Poor Jordan, developing X-ray vision while at a hospital. Not the best place for that to happen.

I guess she was...Scared Straight.

To my mind, it would have been more believable if the Speedsters had been overwhelming the team at the moment that Eddie was forced to recall them.

We already had the show Yam Yam described. It was called I Love Lucy.

I keep expecting Eddie to exhibit speed powers since he got hit with lightning and chemicals, so are we going to see a Negative Flash before this is over? I mean, someone has to be faster than "the fastest man alive" one more time, it's just tradition. I wonder if Tom Cavanaugh will pop in one last time before the show ends?
