  1. Credits say the voice of Honshu is F. Murray Abraham.
  2. When Sam was playing, production was paying her a lot of attention, so I guess the women who are left aren't really doing anything of consequence.
  3. Weird that Bizarro Superman is the only one who looks like a Bizarro. Our Clark went thru the portal, got his suit messed up, but still looks human, as does Bizarro Jonathan after coming to our universe. Are we to think that Kryptonians just look like Bizarros in that reality? They are aliens, after all.
  4. And yet he seemed to be the one wearing the most green.
  5. Totally agree with you on this point. I've always been a fan of sci-fi and superhero genres and I can see that the shows of the past were very different than what we get today. Original Star Trek and Next Gen put the plot and the situation first and the characters' stories were secondary. They were primarily about adventure, not relationships and feelings. Now shows like Disco and especially the CW's superhero shows have scene after scene with two characters in a room endlessly talking about themselves and their feelings. I'm cynical enough to think that the showrunners use these scenes to use up run time as cheaply as possible to reduce the production budget. So now I keep the remote handy and simply zip through those bits, and it doesn't seem to hurt the story at all.
  6. I think Daniel of the dislocated shoulder looks and sounds so much like comedian Albert Brooks, he could almost be his twin. Maryann makes me think a bit of Crazy Eyes Suzanne from Orange is the New Black when she acts up. So it's going to be a repeat of last season with the new twists and side games. Maybe I'll like it better this time, but I can't say I hated last time. Sucks that Jackson gets pulled from the game so soon. I can't imagine what he was thinking quitting medication under these conditions. Better get back on the drugs, buddy.
  7. Mother has to have the worst posture I've seen. When she's shown from the side, it's all I can think of. Pull in that pelvis and stop slouching! The Grandmother android is intriguing and I hope we get answers before the finale. I'm getting tired of all the unexplained mysteries and the seemingly magical happenings. It's been said that any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, but a giant snake that floats through the air better have a good explanation.
  8. We're talking NYC in 1960, home to model agencies and television production. Men were probably looking for Barbara Eden types and not so much leaning towards Imogene Coca.
  9. Ah, right. Forgot about that "dying on the grounds" bit. Thanks.
  10. The back story I'm most curious about concerns the character the show has apparently dropped. How does a biker get decapitated inside a mansion?
  11. Was Kovich's "three hour tour" remark a reference to Gilligan's Island? I wouldn't be surprised if that damn show is still being rerun in the future, or maybe it was rebooted as Gilligan's Planet. Wait, that was an actual cartoon.
  12. FYI Chrissy is Croc's sister-in-law, I guess his wife doesn't like camping. I had to laugh when the promo for next episode implied that Chrissy was going to turn into some holy terror because Croc was booted. That woman is completely lost by herself and has no clue how this game works.
  13. "...and a good time was had by all." This was kind of a downer especially since it seemed to me like the finale, but I see on IMDB there's one more show to go. Maybe Elsa will gain another superpower and fight off the infection. No wonder antibiotics were called "wonder drugs", almost any wound could prove fatal after the fact because of infection. Any immigrants who make it to Oregon will certainly have earned it. I don't know how many are left but it doesn't look good and they still have hard times ahead. Weird how they keep running across Natives who speaking amazingly good English where almost no White people are found. Are the showrunners afraid of offending people by having Natives speak broken English?
  14. I love how the movers stopped in their tracks at the mention of orgy lamps. So Midge thinks she can do her progressive act in a strip club? Maybe if they can get her in a G-string and pasties. Um, I'd be okay with that. Poor Abe, getting a job he loves but getting paid a pittance for it. I think he may have a tough choice to make in a future episode. I have to say, this time period (early 60s) is one of my favorites, when the culture started to loosen up but before it went dark with assassinations and riots. Everything seems so bright and colorful even when things aren't going that well. Kudos to wardrobe and set designers!
  15. Liberace was known for threatening legal action at anyone who even implied that he was gay, in print or otherwise. That's why many people thought the flamboyance was just an act. Being outed was a career- killer at that time. Shy Baldwin couldn't afford to have a blabbermouth like Midge around and by then she should have had enough experience to know where the line is.
  16. Why would they all be sitting alone in the Wonder Wheel? Those were two person seats. That ride operators gonna get fired if he doesn't pack 'em in. All those f bombs she was dropping in her set is the kind of thing that got you busted for obscenity in 1960, small club or no. I wouldn't be surprised to see cops sitting in for her next show.
  17. Everyone's waiting for Michael to say it first, she's the only one allowed to solve things. Maybe Saru can feed her a leading question, but that's it.
  18. I really couldn't care less if this show comes back but if it does I'll probably tune in despite all the quality issues raised by other posters, as I'm a fan of the sci-fi genre and time travel stories in particular. But I have to say the heavy-handed "white heteros bad/everyone else good" theme borders on offensive, although I've come to expect this from the CW. I just didn't expect it to be this blatant and crude.
  19. Elsa telling her mother she's an adult because she's 18 sounds like an error. I'm pretty sure the age of majority in the US was 21 back then. Of course, where they are now, there's no one to enforce that or any reason to. In the scene where Elsa and her mother are by the river bank washing herself, I found Elsa coming off as rather haughty and pretentious. I don't know if it was meant to be played that way but I suppose it tracks for a headstrong teenager who thinks she has it all figured out. I'm curious to see how this story loops back to the massacre scene at the start of ep 1.
  20. Are there people who don't pronounce the L in Tolkien? It's the second part I've never been sure about, pronouncing it either Tol-ken or Tol-key-en at various times. Now it's said to be Tol-keen, which I dunno if I like. Don't get me started on Dr. Seuss...
  21. I don't know who wrote that line, but Leota says "sequester" the clinic's vehicle when she should say "comandeer." Unless I'm the one who doesn't know what sequester means. Thank god Eagly's okay! And, yeah, wild raccoons ain't nothing to mess with.
  22. I agree, they want Eli gone so Jesse can inherit and invest in their project. Pretty sure I saw bloodstains on Eli's right arm before he passed out but nothing on his chest. He'll be fine, relatively.
  23. Power moves, making employees ( or servants) feel awkward and vulnerable. Does Alex appear to have been aged up since last season? She looked like a young teenage kid before and now looks about 20, to me anyway. Rowan Blanchard must have experienced a puberty spike since last year.
  24. Does anyone know the name of the tune playing during the montage of abandoned exercise equipment? It sounds so familiar but I can't place it and it's going to bug me for days.
