Captain Fake has two spouses. Doesn’t that mean both of his spouses also can have another spouse? Then that other spouse can also have another spouse; and so on and so forth. If that’s the case, they must need scorecards to keep up with who-what-when-where. Also, divorces must be as fascinating as heck. And, let’s not even think about kids!

If only. If only. Probably would make their wait, if not more enjoyable, at least less stressful. I probably should have phrased that: According to the article “Marijuana also does very well.” 😎 I had never heard of the term before either. But, I guess using a code name sounds way better than saying: Hey, Max, that ball-busting “B” at table three wants to talk to you. Because as we all know, there are eyes, ears, and phones everywhere. And, of course, no place of business would want that kind of thing to go viral.

Dead would be better than having Captain Fake wake up next to his wife Karen and finding out that it had all been a dream. I did a search for plants that grow well using a hydroponics system. I was surprised; I thought it would be a vegetables-only list. But, it turns out that in addition to vegetables, a variety of flowers, fruits, and herbs do great using this system. Marijuana also does very well. So, I say; using hydroponics sounds like the way to go to me; especially since we already know they will be making water. And, I'm willing to bet that this food would taste a lot better than "lightly seasoned mattress".

Yes, you are right; they were. Iris and Matt updated Judd on the situation. Forgot all about it; so had to re-look. (not an exact quote): Iris: We are already 18% self-sufficient. We turn our waste fluids into drinking water and our garden grows basic fungi. Matt: It's incredibly bland, but filling. It's like eating a lightly seasoned mattress. What Iris said next is extremely funny, but unrepeatable here.

If there is a shortage of food, then every place becomes a place to grow food--especially common areas. We could start with that yoga area, since no one is going to be worried about losing weight for the time being. Also, a lot of food can be grown vertically. As for a supply ship having to deliver X-amount of food every seven days...that's a present day stat. With 40 years worth of technical advances, who knows…. For example, once upon a time milk had to be refrigerated and was delivered every day. Now, milk keeps on the shelf darn near forever. Couple other things: (1) You have to factor in some belt-tightening. (2) Estimated food wasted aboard a cruise ship: 30%. (That's folks who are paying...can only imagine what it is for folks who are eating on the "G's" dime.

He is not a captain and doesn't know jack; so yes he really would be surprised. Also, it is not as if he interviewed or hired anyone or has any idea what anyone does (would be doing if they were real), Joe, the captain, definitely would have known the crew was bogus. Did you see the movie, "The Martian" (2015) starring Matt Damon? Well, considering there are 5000(?) people aboard Avenue 5, there should be more than enough "fertilizing material" for growing food. Plus, Avenue 5's is set 40 years ahead of what we know about food storage/prep/production. So, running out of food may be a non-issue for them. Of course, I'm not ruling out "Soylent Green".

Doesn’t have to be anything amiss when it comes to what he did or did not write re: "Veep". Writers aren’t any different than producers, directors, actors, etc. in that they all wish they carried the “Midas” gene. But, alas, they do not; so can’t expect everything they touch to turn to gold.

So far I’m reminded of: Galaxy Quest Psych Community Fawlty Towers Especially Psych and Community...Two shows that were very long on cheekiness and very short on doing things by-the-book; the way other shows of their genre were doing them.

Funny/stupid/hoot is a good enough description of how I’m starting to feel about the show. Can’t really put my finger on what’s the attraction is for me; but, there just enough “something about it” (maybe it’s the “send-ups”) that makes me want to come back and give it another go. Also, there have been some scenes/lines that made 😊 and 😃.

Thought that was Mr. Noodle, or at least Mr. Noodle's brother. I'd take her over that ball-breaking-“B” of a wife any day. Not high praise by any means; but at least she isn't the most unlikable person among the cast. Finally dawn on me what's wrong with this show. So far, there isn’t a likable person among them. I think that the reason the show doesn’t draw you in is that you can’t care about anyone on it…their predicament, or what’s going to happen to any of them. In fact, there isn’t one among them you wouldn’t do your best to avoid if you caught a glimpse of them coming down the hallway. I’m asking… Is there anyone you’ve met so far that you’d want for a mate, spouse, BFF, role model, or sitting your dog? I think not. Every show, in order to engage fans, must have someone(s) they can identify with/care about/root for. Anyway, that’s my take.

Was watching the news yesterday and it made me think of this show, and I had to☺️. They were doing a segment on the weather (from don’t remember where) but, the delay in the feed was so long that it became awkward...twice. Poor reporter (you know they always send out some rookie to be blown about in ugly weather); here he was standing there trying to play it cool, even though it was obvious he was "uncomfortable" (and probably a little peeved too). I guess the person whose job it was to let the reporter know when he was live had an extended brain f-rt…twice.

Don't watch too many sitcoms so don't really have examples likethat to draw on. But, was thinking more in terms of a “Claire” (Modern Family) type. Claire is three-times the "I'd like to speak to your manager" sort that Karen is. Yet, Claire is likable, a pleasure to see in action, and not at all unlikable. Don't consider it an actor-problem; consider it a writer-problem.

Such folks, while annoying, are also useful. They are like a dog with a bone when something goes off-beam...and won’t let go until something get done. Not a bad trait to have. But, the writers have made her unlikeable…that’s what needs to be remedied. Maybe it would play better if the crew had someone on their team whose verbal audacity matched her own. Also, having that stereotypical, spineless “yes dear” of a husband doesn’t help. If what I saw in S1 is all the writers have her bring to the table, then I agree; I don't want to see her.

Thought the Captain's voice/credentials reveal was a nice (didn't see that coming!) twist. Til then, it seemed like your usual run-of-the-mill, central-casting-loaded, cookie-cutter-comedy. Never seen Borheimer in anything before; but liked him. He has a certain EveryGuyNess quality about him that women seem to find endearing and men nonthreatening. I call it the Jacob Kowalski Effect.

Let's hope. Forewarned is forearmed. Really looking forward to Marco “meeting his Waterloo". Maybe I’m misreading him, but I’m picking up “Dictator” rather than “Liberator” vibes. As for Ashford; he died with his boots on.

Yeah. Never quite trusted him, but liked him nevertheless. Question? At the end was he Recording? Broadcasting? Transmitting? If so, to who whom...for what purpose?

First saw Pedro Pascal in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)"; before that had never heard of him either. (Guess I'm one of the three people on the planet who have not seen "Game of Thrones".)

Makes for interesting Board discussions--provided there is another season, of course. Otherwise, I agree.

Right you are. No doubt “paying the bills” speaks volumes. Read one well-known Broadway actor's bio (he also dabbles in movie/and occasionally TV) where he talked about showing up in less than stellar roles/pictures. He said that whenever he was between shows and funds got iffy he'd call up his agent and say: "get me something". Suspect we’ll not find any of those somethings on his resume.

Same here. First watch the entire episode--then went back and rewatched the first half.

Didn't catch the "Old Cat Lady" as the "Missing Finger Girl. Thanks.

Probably more to do with frequency it was broadcasting on. Think what was picked up by the hearing aid was the pulse; not the sound. You know, like how other equipment can pick up a "silent alarm". (I probably got the usage of "frequency" and "pulse" out of whack; but maybe someone will get the idea and come aboard and explain.)
