    That's easy. They stop in the same hotel where the men shave their faces and the women shave their legs and underarms. 

    I love that place!

    As foot antidepressants; why wouldn't they be available. I would think they would just be sitting there at the pharmacist's.

    When Elton is given autonomy in a scene, we're left wondering things like "If he doesn't know what 'ass' means, does he know what 'fireworks' means?"

    He knows what the word 'ass' means; he apparently doesn't know the term 'haul ass.' I find it slightly unbelieveable that in a zombie apocalypse, the term 'haul ass' has gone out of fashion, but who knows? Show is still stupid.

  3. That was a terrible episode. They did so many things wrong, it's hard to believe they are supposed to be secret agents. And I guess Mac was right - Daisy and You Yo really were stupid leaving that room. Yo Yo pretty much immediately got taken over.

    It feels like they took a three to four episode story and dragged it out over 12 episodes. This was basically just filler, with the death of a side character to give it some gravitas.

    So far, this season is a dud.

    That's ... amazing. The issue isn't Kelly's concern that Ed would have poor judgment because he has feelings for her. It's *that Ed has feelings for his XO* and that might result in poor judgment. If anyone should transfer, it should be Ed. 

    Possibly, but captains don't transfer because of failed relationships, first officers and junior officers do. A first officer is much more expendible than a captain on a starship.

    Wasn't the Union desperately hurting for captains though? You would think they would have offered Kelly her own command by this point.

    Overall, I enjoyed the episode, despite it being Moclan heavy again, and the continuations over how backwards they are.

    The Moclans never really made sense to me. There are 'only' males and males can procreate with each other, but there are females as well? Can they procreate with each other? If not, why do the females even exists, in an evolutionary sense?

    It would seem to me that if one sex can procreate with other members of that sex, there is no evolutionary need for the other sex.

    Was there more gender parity on Moclus in the past and then something happened? It really needs to be explained, because as of now, it makes no sense.

    You know what else doesn't make sense? Two Union officers managed to basically take out an entire squad of Moclans with absolutely no trouble at all. That was a tad ridiculous.

    The use of Dolly, however, was awesome.

    Like, for example, a woman buys cheap crappy cheeseburgers from a fast food chain for her and her sons. That chain doesent treat its animals humanely (does eating any meat land you Bad Place points?), has a high carbon footprint, and its CEO is a jerk who wont let his workers unionize and he has cheated on his wife with hookers at company business trips for twenty years.

    That seems like an oddly ... specific example?

    Wow, must rewatch now that I realize that political subtlety.

    It wasn't exactly subtle. "What kind of place doesn't take regugees?" Aparently the Good Place, as if they had know who the group was, they would have sent them directly to the Bad Place. I don't think they were making the political point they thought they were.

    Overall, it was pretty good. I wonder if we ever are going to see the actual Good Place?

    My least favorite episode to date. Mean-spirited, no humor, an ham-handed reference to a current controversy AND we lost a good character.  This is the first time I kept looking at the clock to see how long it had left. 

    Agreed. No B plot meant a very long and boring episode, at least to me. And it was a bit of a bummer when Halston Sage left the show (for whatever reason). I find her, by far, the hottest member of the cast (and the second most interesting).

    It's interesting to me the way the Orville swings by crew members' home planets so they can deal with personal issues. On Earth I can't see any work group doing that or even their employees expecting them to.

    So true. They mentioned several times in this episode how the Orville is a military vessel. Not too many military vessels take side trips to make sure one of the crew doesn't get 20% weaker or for the third officer to take a pee.

    Then again, maybe they just didn't have anything to do and the Captain gets wide, WIDE latitude on where the ship goes.

    On a second watch, it's clever to see the Duncan family's racism being subtly cued by James using the "Bortus ate my homework" excuse.  Yes, James, Moclans are just animals.  You little shit.

    I don't know. Moclans can ACTUALLY eat homework. I would think it would be a running source of amusement (and certainly is for the 'evolved' crew).

    (My holodeck/simulator issues go back decades, I'll admit, but how is Gordon leaning on the bar, exactly?  Isn't that just light?  Shouldn't he fall flat on his side?  Very distracting.)

    I think in TNG, they explained it by a combination of force fields and holograms. But, YMMV.

    Perry pays Lois less than he pays Clark? WHAT? WHAT?

    Isn't Lois Lane a multiple award-winning journalist? And Perry is paying her 21 cents LESS per dollar than Clark?

    Lois should be looking for another job.

  12. The latest episode was total nonsense. They took the only two relationships that were any good and basically destroyed them. 

    Talk about a 180 turn on Annie's character and Leroy's for that matter. Thank God this show has been cancelled.

    What hot garbage.

    Superman and Supergirl are in their own universe (Earth-38), and Supergirl's got her hands full trying to keep three Kryptonian Worldkillers from wiping out her Earth's population at the moment.  No word on why Superman is MIA on Earth-38, either -- that's been bugging Supergirl viewers ever since the Worldkillers storyline started this season.

     

    If Barry took a quick jaunt to Earth-38 via Cisco, Supergirl could fly over, destroy all of the satellites and be home within 30 minutes. It's not like it would take her long to fly around and destroy the satellites using her heat vision.

    Barry's plan worked.  He saved the ARGUS staff, followed DeVoe through his portal, and destroyed the satellite.  THEN.....he just stood there on the street letting DeVoe talk about how smart he was for 5 minutes before DeVoe finally just left.  I was yelling at the screen for Barry to whisk DeVoe away to a cell in STAR labs.  Why didn't Barry do something--anything?!?!?  This made no sense at all.  Barry had him; he HAD him.....but then he did nothing.  WHY?

    Preach, brother. Why didn't Barry go into Flashtime and take Devoe to the Pipeline? Or snap his neck? Or quick-punch him in the balls 100 times so that when Barry left Flashtime, Devoe would be incapacitated? Why didn't he do ANYTHING?

    I thought the dog infected her. The rain no longer infects people and Rasmus was ok until that infected soldier kissed his forehead. Rasmus is immune but they lingered on the blood on his forehead so i think that the virus interacted with his unique biology and he became infectious without becoming sick. 

    Personally I think Rasmus is so annoying they should just sacrifice him for the greater good and get a cure.

    My guess Beatrice didn't die from the virus. When Rasmus went to take some morphine it was all gone all of a sudden. There was some there the day before.  Plus her body didn't have the same look to it as the virus victims - no junk coming out of her mouth.  Rasmus most likely was infected by the dog, because it was mentioned the dog was sick or when he gave himself the shot was when he was actually infected.  

     

    But what exactly are they going to do now? They are in a small area, and no way to treat or keep Rasmus from infecting others. 

    I hope the only solution they come up with is to kill Rasmus. Maybe twice.

    Just to clear this up I never blame YoYo or gave her hate for it I actually believe what YoYo did was the right decision

     

    not sure trying to save Coulson should be the top priority right now either though 

     

    starting to look like Daisy going to the alien ship might have consequences since House of Kasius has her now

    One thing is certain - Daisy will always make stupid emotional decisions that get her or someone else in trouble.

     

    Wait. That could be said for EVERY character. How are they super spied again? What spy organization doesn't sanction killing people?

    They're the same people who excuse Fitz for what he did. Elena is held to a different standard because she isn't Fitz, or even Deke (who was excused for his actions). The whole fight with Daisy seemed pretty contrived as a means of bringing forth a new conflict to move away from the prior schism that they have no real interest in delving into because it would make Fitz look bad (and Mack's own dressing down of Fitz was pretty tame, all things considered).

    People seem to be ignoring that Fitz saved the world by operating on Daisy, or at least the city with thousands of people above them. If he didn't do what he did, the fear dimension would have consumed them all.

    I think we have two groups of characters. One group is willing to make the hard choices and do things that need to be done, consequences be damned. The other group is content to live in fantasy land and allow the world to go to hell in order to remain morally pure (whatever the hell that means).

    Daisy is insane if she thinks that Ruby wasn't. She was a wild dog that needed to be put down. She LITTERALLY just murdered her boyfriend less than three feet from where Daisy was standing not 30 seconds before? Yo Yo would have been an idiot if she DIDN'T kill Ruby.

    Are the choices of group one perfect? Of course not. Those choices led to death and ... well, apparently absolutely no complications for Daisy less than one episode later. Regardless, they are not easy or popular choices, but someone has to make them. Just standing there while people die because you refuse to kill is not a moral choice, it's abetting mass murder.

  18. Wow, another episode where Barry and the team loses because they are morons.

    DaVoe is trying to steal something. THIS time we'll stop him! *DaVoe kicks their asses and leaves.*

    DaVoe is trying to steal something else! THIS time we'll stop him! *DaVoe kicks their asses and leaves.*

    Rinse. Repeat.

    Not to mention that desecrating your mom's grave, no matter how good you think your reason, is totally a dick move. I'm pretty sure Jiaying would not consent to any of this considering she hated Coulson and SHIELD. 

    It is indeed a dick move. But as for her consent, who cares? Daisy's mom was going to kill dozens of people, had killed in the past and attempted to kill Daisy herself. If I was Daisy, I'd piss on her grave right after I dug her up.

    Also, I don't think Daisy is digging up her mom, per se, she is looking for either a piece of her or a chemical that is part of her.
