Craft Cocktail

Maybe I dozed off, but I thought Morgan and Grace went to the helicopter to get ammo and fuel (Al told them that the MRAP would run on aviation fuel). How did they do this, what container did they use, and how on earth did they transport that much fuel back to the MRAP? By the way, I read that MRAPs get about 6 mpg, but maybe with all the deserted diesel trucks and helicopters littering the countryside, fuel is abundant!

I vaguely remember that there was a piece of sheet metal, attached to the gym building, banging loudly in the wind, and one of the characters saying that's what was keeping them there. But as for all your other comments, I feel your pain!

I know I badmouthed the first part of this double feature, but in this second part I am actually intrigued by the idea of alien intervention in the 1950's, which gave the US world-dominating technology but also came with a cost via the "treaty." This idea of shared alien technology (going all the way back to the Egyptian pyramids) has been batted around for a while, but I don't believe it was ever linked to deaths of political figures and celebrities, as in this show. Who knows what other famous deaths or disappearances will become part of this story? Maybe RFK or Jimmy Hoffa, but I still believe that Sonny Bono skied into a tree. RIP, Sonny!

I agree, but Asshat Entitled Son would have said, "How dare you interrupt me when I'm talking?", and Stephanie would have ended up in the clink along with Eugene. I will be praying for a major comeuppance for this little snot; the tap on his face from Eugene does not qualify!

"These black pills (not pretzels) are making me thirsty!!!"

Boy, in the last 20 minutes the plot anvils starting falling out of the sky like frogs in a Biblical plague. In addition to what others have discussed, bad cops went on a rampage and brutally killed innocent people, only to be taken out by their fellow officers. The writers may have thought this was icing on the cake to make the final biting commentary on society, but I think it trivialized the whole issue of police brutality. But even within the confines of the storyline, this new addition to the plot didn't make a lot of sense. So the Chemist roots out the bad cops by searching their disciplinary records, then gets (or forces?) them to take the black pill. Since they are not "talented" at what they do, they don't ascend to greatness, and instead become even worse cops, i.e., murderous pale people. I know it's best not to dig too deeply into shows like this that Stop Making Sense. Could it be that this whole story has been an exercise in self-parody? See, the writers know that slinging dreck on the wall and seeing what sticks is enough to sell a series or a franchise. And it's not necessary to take a black pill if your lack of talent is not an obstacle. So maybe this was a brilliant tour de force, but we the audience are not "talented" enough to realize it!

Thanks for bringing this up. I also wondered how Jamie could have known the details of the interactions of all the characters with one another, even though she wasn't personally there most of the time, and in some cases couldn't have been told by Dani either. This is all the more true of the whole Viola history. How did Jamie learn the entire back story of the house? She was one of the few characters who didn't "dream hop," so she couldn't have acquired this knowledge from other characters' memories. Maybe Dani knew it after Viola inhabited her, and she told Jamie. This was the main problem I saw with Jamie being the narrator.
