Ilovepie

I love to hate him. I think this actor is doing a fantastic job of being so sinister and yet polite. It's creepy in the best way! And Patricia Arquette is killing it. I can't read what her rage induced response was when Mark stopped her car. Was she going to tell him the truth? Did she take the deal Helena offered but she cares about Mark and is frustrated because she can't tell him now? I love it all - I am here for her batshit crazy!

I do wonder who she was apologizing to? Did this get out into the news? I feel like how this was taken the "the real world" hasn't been shown. Judging by the negativity surrounding severance in the outie world in general I would think this would be incendiary. It also begs the question of why the outies seem unaware of what happened with "Helena" - like do they follow news of the company they work at???? You would think something like this would make national news and they would be aware of who Helena Eagan is and what happened with her.

That is true too! I guess your brain would not be able to compute that the baby you birthed grows into an exact replica of your friend from twenty years ago, but you would think that it would be something she has pondered, especially since she named "Alice" after her friend..... It's doubly crazy that neither Kat nor Del recognized her but Jacob immediately knew who she was.....

I think that's how this show goes since playing the banker ultimately comes down to luck. After all,

THIS. It seriously drives me crazy that Del never recognized Alice. Like major plot hole, but I guess with this show you just have to accept that it is bananas.....

Me too. She tries to act like she is fun and nice but she is cold and humorless and has RBF. And she cannot control her face when she is up for elimination and the person playing the banker is losing! She looked downright gleeful every time poor Rock opened a high value case. She is terrible at strategy and gameplay. Parvati may be as phony as a two-dollar bill, but she sells being a caring person pretty successfully. I don't know her from Survivor, but she was a decent Traitor. I would have sent that southern chick whose name I can't remember back to her stand when she came over to dictate to Parvati and Phillip who should be split up. Like no, it's not your choice! I would have immediately split up her and whoever she was standing next to. She can go too - I don't like her at all. I'm bummed Rock went - he was pretty funny in the after show with Rob and what a cool funny sweet Papa! At this point, I am rooting for David, Lete, Parvati and Philip.

I felt like he didn't fully know - he was figuring it out on the fly.

Their Innies found out, but other than Mark who I presume his Outie was told by sister what he said when the Innie was awake at that party, do the rest of them know? We can't assume anything, and that video was sus as hell. Sure Mark would have motivation to return for his wife - both his Innie and Outie. But it's possible it was just a weird night for Irv when his Outie woke up in front of a strange man's house so he would just go to work like normal; Dylan only has his OTC closet experience still so it was just a normal day for his Outie, and we don't know what goes on with Hilly. I think it's a toss-up who is in charge of her. I think at this point there are pros and cons to both arguments. All this to say that basically other than maybe Helly the Outies still may not know what is happening at Lumon. That video was perfection! Keanu Reeves, flying Kier, the montage of last season and Dylans look after the Claymation elevator kiss, the list of "perks": bobbing for pineapples anyone? Loved it! I literally just started watching this show last week. We binged the first season over the last few days and moved straight into this episode. I am so glad - it would have been torture waiting that long after "SHE'S ALIIIIIIVEEEE!" 😂 I can't wait to see where this is going.

Is it a Philly thing to encourage violence against innocent people? I didn't like people (including the bus driver whose job it is to deliver him to his correct stop!) cheering Jacob getting kicked off the bus in an unsafe neighborhood. It reminded me of my other least favorite episode this season when the whole school thought a parent beating up Gregory was entertainment. Yes Jacob can be a lot, but he's always nice and pleasant. Why couldn't the bus driver just tell him he needed to concentrate and to have a seat? I didn't find any of this funny. I am kind of loving Ava's thing with the tech guy. He seems to have her figured out. It's nice to see her flustered. I loved Janine's face to the camera when they were in her classroom.

I really enjoyed this series, especially compared to the last few D+ Star Wars shows. It was refreshing to have something completely different tonally - the last few have felt kind of stale. The uniqueness of this alone makes it worthwhile for me. The only thing I found disappointing was that it felt like too much was crammed into this episode, and too much was left unresolved with Jod. The reveal that he was raised by a Jedi who was killed seemed was just crammed in and anti-climactic. And what happened to him after "the real good guys" showed up? Did he die? Did he escape? I would love a second season, but I'm not sure Disney is willing to invest in these streaming shows more than one season unless they have the prestige of Andor or the popularity of a Mandalorian (and marketing opportunities, let's be honest). While I think this one was better received than Acolyte, I doubt it's done well enough to warrant another season. Bummer.

Felt the same. I knew it was them, but having never watched the show, that's about all I knew. I didn't find most of this funny at all, with the exception of Mr. Johnson and Danny Divito arguing over the garden. And finding him caught in his own trap covered by the urine soaked pelts was funny. I don't know, but this season isn't really doing it for me. Too many unbelievable plots and guest stars.

I like this theory! It's like the Empire hid their Fort Knox and then when everything went sideways nobody told them - kind of like they have been in a Bomb Shelter since the 1950's and the apocalypse didn't actually happen......

Sydnee (that spelling - what!?!!) is so extra and not in a fun way. She is seriously annoying and she is not as cute as she thinks she is. How exactly do you go from homeless in LA to graduating from Columbia? And how did she think she was the team leader? She wouldn't have even made it to the pyramid without her teammates hauling her ass over those rocks. She didn't *actually* have the million dollar case until her teammate suggested they switch the cases around which wasn't even her idea! She can go anytime. I've never seen Survivor Australia so I had no clue who he is, but I'm glad David survived. His teammate that went home might be the dumbest reality contestant ever. Ignoring the high value cases even though BOTH teammates said they were all higher than the open cases? Ignoring the odds even though everyone (except Sydnee) said take the $200,000 deal? Opening the $1 case?!??? Hilarious! Boston Rob mocking him so hard on the after show was well deserved. I like Lete. I feel like "I'm not your Auntie" lady is gonna grate eventually. If Joe was still married to Sofia Vergara I would have loved for her to be the banker.... I do think this episode was too long, but I love shows like this, so I'm in.

I wonder if we are going to find out Jod's backstory at all. A force sensitive - how did learn to harness the Force? I love that he had zero problem killing the head pirate at first opportunity, yet he hasn't actually done anything other than threatening and yelling at the kids. I guess we'll see just how bad he is. I didn't like Ahsoka or Acolyte, but I do like that Star Wars is exploring these people who use the force outside the Sith/Jedi construct. Like how many people can actually use the force and are out there using it on their own? That was A LOT of credits!!!! Somebody is gonna fix SM33 right?????

I totally agree!
