Chaos Theory

Rewatching show because I am bored and need something on my tv while I work. I am still on season 2 but the show is actually pretty decent except for the dumb boring Futz/Olivia stuff. I mean Fitz is the definition of boring white dude. Everyone else during the first two seasons is at least interesting except for the President of The United States who is supposed to be the love of Olivia’s life. Hey maybe her kink is milktoast white guys. Not kink shaming. My favorite to characters are Mellie and Quinn. Good downward spirals are entertaining and Quinn going from innocent pawn to something actually dangerous is at least fascinating to watch. Mellie trying to protect her marriage when she knows her husband doesn’t love her but neither of them can leave is perfectly tragic. I remember this show going off the rails pretty hard but it was actually pretty entertaining until it did.

The cube and orb story was hilariously stupid like a lot of the two races at war being transported together on the Enter….Cerritos. Boilmer and his beard still obsessed with the alternate version of himself. I do like that everyone knows he has that pad and it’s not really a thing. Everyone is just fascinated that it is just a little different. Olly is a slightly more chaotic version of what Mariner was in season one and this episode was a good way to show that although Mariner will always be attracted to chaos she has grown a lot and isn’t the one who ends up in the brig. I am very much going to miss this show. I was initially worried way back at the pilot that it would suffer from alot of things animated series suffer from most notably the lack of cohesive stories and forward momentum from the lower deckers. You know a guy like Boilmer obsessed with ranking up being an ensign forever would have annoyed me. But Lower Decks has allowed all the characters to grow in substantial ways. This is one of the few animated series I actually think could have gone on longer.

I might have said this before but my UO is the first season of any show is never really a good litmus for the show. It is the second season that determines what the show is going to be and if it has the potential to be a long running show or just a flash in the pan.

My guess is the rifts are being started by someone on Star Base 80. Boilmer's mustache watch continues. He is the ultimate star trek fan living in the star trek universe. But Mariner has been happier as of late as well.

You mean that manly hunk smell? It’s a wonder that he could smell Jill coming but then she must smell also. The combination of smells is their love.

The religious types who don’t celebrate holidays tend to view children as “soldiers of god” and therefore they are had solely to boost ranks but like any soldier individually is not really appreciated. These are the mothers who bring their five year olds to anti abortion rallies but wont buy them a birthday president. It is sad. Kids devoid of personality because it is bred out of them from a young age. You see this in most if not all Jill’s kids and what little personality they do have is mean and nasty. But that apparently does glorify god for some reason.

Tendi is back and T'Lyn is comforted to have her back. We continue the mustache watch for Boimler. If this becomes a running gag of the season I am going to really enjoy it. Hi Jennifer. Billup's and his needlessly complicated assumed named, Ransome and Boilmer and their Admiral hunt was fun. Mariner and Jennifer were fun and something that needed to be cleared up and the idea that they had never officially broken up and needed to was part of Marniner's growth as a person and a leader. Having those difficult conversations is something Mariner season 1 wouldn't have been able to do. Plus having Jennifer get reassigned is a good way to write off the character and avoid the "what happened to Jennifer" discussions. Glumpus

If a show could be post terrible anc awesome at the same time that show would be Slasher. Love the anthology format. Mystery Horror is my fun genre ie I try not to overthink it too much. I just kinda enjoy the ride. Got through the first two stories and they both told entertaining stories. Liked the first better than the second so I am just hoping the third isn’t just terrible terrible.

Actually this was just a quick and easy way to get Tendi back on the Cerritos without burning bridges with the Orions.

I am hoping the show does the alternate reality in many forms thing because it has a lot of potential. Mariner is only a failure as a leader because she went completely the other direction. Instead of being charmingly insubordinate she went full on dictator. I am kinda annoyed we didn't get a sex joke from Billips because King Billips HAD SEX. Could have been a throw away line Billups "How was it?" King Billups "Ehh..." Billups nods and they go back to work. I am looking forward to more alternate universe. The story could quite frankly go all the way back to the pilot and the first decision Boilmer made by not turning in Mariner. What if that act forwarded his career all the way to Captain in a short period of time. Making him the unique mix of hated and incompetent. These alternate universes could be a good way for each of the lower deckers to see what their life would have been if they chose different.

I work from home half the week. The cleaning guys who come to my apartment every other week happen to come in on a day I am home. So it is just me and a couple of guys who clean my bathroom and my kitchen. It is all very lustfull is all I can say. We are living in a gig economy. If Dave and/or Jill really wanted to make money there are a million ways to do it. Neither of them want to. Begging and get rich quick schemes are the life that chose.

Also I don’t think David really wants Jill to see how other wives live. Just think about what she might see in a well kept well maintained house with a husband who brings in a steady income. No good can come of it.

Well David is kind right. If Jill is going to clean anyones decrepit old shack it is going to be his. Plus maybe cook a meal and make him feel like a man so they can pour their love into each other and maybe make another baby they could both ignore.

You have to admire the grift. It really is too bad she’s not allowed to work outside the home. So many jobs she would be qualified for. So many low activity high grift jobs she could do. She could be the wolf of cultland. Heck she should drop this pipe dream of being on reality tv and just start her own cult.

I am curious about Jill’s SHIPPING policy. It was years ago but I sold a bunch of books/DVDs over Amazon and it often meant shipping within 24 hours of purchase. Does Jill do that? With all her grifting for Jebus and free trips with David what happens if something sells when she is away, busy or just angry at the world for not appreciating how holy she is? someone needs to take the hit and buy something when Jill is noticeably not around.
