If Billie’s jettison-the-weight-of-500-people-worth-of-stuff-out-the-back theory works the poop circle (as well as being orbited by those coffins) should be history. And none too soon!

Speaking of a question raised: What was up with Judd and that golf 👗?

Probably in his Penthouse Suite wanting for nothing. He only came to see 'Fudd' because he objected to the 10th class passengers (those Caca Papa, as Judd so inelegantly put it, watchers) hanging out in the 1st class hallway; and wanted them gone. I guess until all that illuminating started, he had no reason to show up. And considering that he and 'Fudd' mix together like oil-and-water; it’s probably a good thing. Items ordered (hope I didn't miss any) by Rav and Alan during their (almost lunch) with friends: Jackal Paws Cucumber Snow Wasp Tapenade Owls in a Blanket Tree Soup Mexican Drink (with a finger in it) Rabbit Nuggets If this is what it has come down to, except for maybe treating myself to a glass of water, I think 40 years from now I will be skipping lunch. The other items are pretty self-explanatory; but, I can't imagine what "Cucumber Snow" could be. Any ideas?

Well, at least fans know Maguire has 40 more years. Although considering how he died...all of them, obviously not happy ones.

Glad to see them break it up a bit...bring in some fresh blood. I've been thinking all along that with 5K souls on board, they have almost unlimited new faces to work into storylines, or to work storylines around.

So outlandish yesterday = so commonplace today. The thing is, in the US there are very few restrictions that limit what you can name a kid. So, parents can pretty much tag them with whatever pops into their head (you should see some of the names I left of the list for fear of being deleted). You know, speaking of things popping into a person's head, it’s kind of scary to think what an idiotic, clueless, egomaniac like Judd would name an offspring.

Believe what... (1) That the incident happened as described? (2) That someone named their kid "La-a"; pronounced "Ladasha."? We know parents (and not just celebrities) name their kids some weird stuff; otherwise we wouldn't have names such as: Abcde (didn't believe it either) Abstinence Audio Science (sounds like something Matt would have named the baby) Clitis Colon Danger Derfla (Alfred spelled backward for a girl) Dweezil Facebook Jermajesty Moon Unit Moxie Crimefighter: Phelony In comparison, Kayden is looking pretty good right about now.

Happened to run across this comment on a baby-name site: “My sister was an elementary teacher in St. Louis and was calling out names on the first day and came across "La-a" she said it just how it looks and a little girl stood up with much attitude and said, "It's Ladasha, you pronounce the dash!” Sometimes the real is more 😕 than the made up.

CC showed it as "Kayden". According to one of those baby-name sites: the meaning of the name Kayden is Fighter.

Such an extreme solution is funny coming from Karen...someone who bleeps out her own swear words.

I doubt if things have changed that much is 40 years. So, the First Space Baby would, no doubt, be worth a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Let's not forget the media/talk show circuit/books/line of clothes/endorsements/reality series/movie rights/etc. On the other hand, since he is in an incubator...had breathing problems...probably premature. I must admit that Iris' line about Judd "executive producing" the delivery was pretty funny...and Judd being in the delivery while surprising; was so Judd-like. As for Matt; he has no “filter”. So, nothing he says or does surprises me. Ever see a movie where someone is on a ledge threatening to jump? Well, Matt would be that person down in the crowd yelling: Come on, you know you wanna to do it!

Probably as a cautionary tale for all those who are always trying to get something for nothing. "NEP" is just another way of saying "the ones who didn't pay".

Makes sense; especially with the captain curling up and taking a nap at the end.

They had a 9-month air supply left. Why were they getting so lethargic? They were acting as if the air shortage had already kicked in.

Does an Alexa-like co-president really seem so strange? We are talking about 40 years from now. Think about it, even now you can't call any company/government office without an Alexa-type prompting you through whatever matter you called about. In fact, getting things taken care off without ever talking to a real live person has become so common that now it is something we take for granted. So, the idea that in 40 years there will be A.I. officials making decisions just doesn’t seem that farfetched. Also, not college students... Nerds. The new elite class. Today we'd call a young Judd-type a nerd...in 40 years we'd probably be calling someone like him Secretary of Commerce.

Yes, I can see him sending it to Dawes or Johnson. But, I can't see him sending it on a wing and a prayer hoping that someone would pick it up. (1) Wouldn’t Ashford be concern that the “someone” picking up his message could be a Marco coconspirator/henchmen/sympathizer? (2) Would Ashford leave the delivery of such crucial information to chance? Ashford died grinning and singing…the demeanor of a man who has gotten the last laugh. His was the face of a person who knows he pulled something off; and not the face of a person who was merely hoping….

Thanks. I watched the scene again. This time I saw "Message sent". Without knowing where to look, I may never have picked up on it. As for the recipient, I think you are right that he most likely sent it to Drummer. But, it also could have been: Naomi: Marco is her ex. She knows him best, how he operates, and may have a better idea of what he is planning. Holden (less likely): The Golden Boy who has a knack for overcoming odds-and-obstacles and succeeding, even under dire circumstances.

When three people are involved, and only two of them can legally marry, I can see all this “pomp and circumstance” on behalf of the third person. Otherwise, I don't see what a commitment ceremony results in.

The Captain has been voted out of his marriage by 2 to 1. Turns out I was wrong about how such a marriage works. I thought he had married both of them; but, I didn’t realize that both of them had also married each other. The Captain is being “trivorced”. Probably would make an interesting reality series. It’s all about status. To the passengers Billie is just a nondescript workerbee, doing whatever it is workerbees do…in other words, no one special. The Captain is a two-time hero who just saved them. 'Mr. Noodle's Brother' is a former astronaut who just helped save them. Even the, haven’t got a clue, bridge crew got more play…because the passengers see them as the ones whose skills during the crisis helped save them. Have you ever stood at a stage door to get an autograph? Well, no one ever rushes a stagehand.

"Evendumber" may as well be Judd's middle name. It’s exactly what you’d expect from him. I would say it's like having a two-year-old in charge...but I don’t want to insult two-year-olds. Buffalo’s Wild Wings.

It should be the ringtone for a number that you only give out to your creditors.

The rating on IMDb had gone down slightly since the premiere; but now it has ticked up a bit. Even though it's still low by all standards known to modern man; up is up. A lot about this show is gross AND cringeworthy; but a lot of the writing is really sharp AND funny. As for the characters, although I'd never belly up to the bar with any of them (except maybe Billie...then I'd make it a point not to make her laugh); they are just ridiculously enough over-the-top to be entertaining.

As far as you know.

Thanks. Was just wondering. Have you read the parable: "For Want of a Nail." Well, the captain was the nail. As for the ships, if everything is mostly automated, there could be thousands and thousands of trips without anything ever going wrong. Then that one fateful trip and POW! “S” happens. I guess you could think of like a commercial airplane where the odds of it crashing are estimated at one trip in millions of trips. But, that's where we first meet Captain Joe...outside doing whatever. Maybe it's part of a new age captain's skill set…commanding inside, tinkering outside?

(1) They should have sent Billie out to make the repair and let the kid take the bridge, or vice versa. (2) Can anyone explain what Karen and Frank could possibly see in each other/have in common? (3) Why Micky Dolenz’s skull? (4) All the tech folks below deck are so unattractive? Why? Jokes and Beer--who wouldn't. Even though he was trying with the kid tutor, I wouldn't hope for any kind of competency. I think "lucky" is about the best it's going to get with him.
