  1. Oh, you are correct, it was renewed for 2 seasons (such short seasons), so this one and then one more. My bad, I got all boggled up because it was announced the same time Dark Matter was announced as canceled (which was a crime against entertainment).
  2. Sadly, this is the last season I am almost certain the actor was the voice heard when docking. Nope, he was NOT mentioned, Johnny never told Dutch(ess) about his brother until the episode where he was introduced in season 1.
  3. Or even worse, when he has to tell them basic, bedrock principles of sculpting. "Blend the wrinkles in so they dont look like just scratches " "make sure you make this bigger than you think it needs to be, remember that latex/foam/silicon shrinks" "that does not look anything like what the challenge is. The challenge is to make a mushroom man. You seem to be making a post-apocalyptic robot ghoul on a meth bender." Or even MORE simple like "red and blue make purple"..... Anyway, Walter was robbed (AGAIN).
  4. My nom de plume is #RawUnicornLubePartyBongo, look for my 16 volume series on Amazon, just $.99 this week!
  5. Hard to believe but it is looking more and more like its just going to be Norman and Melissa riding this thing all the way down...
  6. Im just thinking about how frustrating The Red Forest would have been for Olivia. Think about it, her entire life was the constant pursuit of The Red Forest. Talk about your loops!
  7. As long as she's living, Jennifer (like all of us) is always getting older. The final montage was not all the same time. Remember, in the original timeline, James Cole would have been a young kid in 2015, Ramse a young teen, Deacon too. Hannah a very young child, etc. Most likely, Jennifer ended up founding a performance art troupe called The Daughters ;p
  8. I loved the ending. For me (and perhaps a few of you too seeing as so many of you enjoy many of the same shows as me), it was such a refreshing, joyful experience for a show like this to finally have a MEGA HAPPY ENDING! Seriously, when was the last time a show like this had the heroes get such a giant win? Maybe last season of Legends of Tomorrow? Certainly not Walking Dead or Arrow or The Flash or The Magicians or hell even Orphan Black. All the genre shows these days are GLOOM! and DOOM! and MISERY! and just such a downer, there are a lot of genre shows that are losing audiences specifically (I think) because of all the MAXIMUM PAIN!!1! LoT made me feel happy, 12 Monkeys made me feel these soaring emotions, more than just "happy".....maybe Im a total weirdo (ok, I am a total weirdo) but the ending of 12 Monkeys sort of healed a little bit of hurt for me. I dont know, Im not expressing it well but for me, emotionally, 12 monkeys went somewhere surprising and healthy and for that I will always love this show.
  9. Mariah fully intended on Tilda taking over the club UNTIL Tilda called her "mother" and not "mommy" which clued Mariah that Tilda was up to something (which we found out was murder, THE family business). I don't think Luke see's himself that way (yet) even though that is exactly what he is now. Tilda I dont think is evil at all. I think her heart was broken (when she found out the truth of her conception) and then all the craziness (Bushmaster) broke her mind. From what I've read, that technique is accomplished by first putting on a thick coat of lipstick, then the poison. As long as you can avoid licking your lips, the cosmetic acts as a barrier. I loved this season, all the way. I loved Alfre Woodard's portrayal of Mariah, I thought it was awesome. I had trouble sometimes with the Jamaican patois but overall, I dug it (and gotdamn but I want to try some Bushmaster rum now! Rum is my favorite). I hope there is a season 3 if only to see Luke in another fine suit, damn that man is hot.
  10. I just think Matt is very bald and embarrassed about it. Personally, I think he would look handsomer if he would go on and shave his head but he obviously is not that brave. And what kind of shit season is this if we're spending SO MUCH TIME talking about this one's ear holes and that one's comb over??? Man this once great show is going out with a tired ass whimper!
  11. Dude, you just pointed the way to guaranteed ratings blast off! Or something blast off anyway.......hell, now all I can think of is Michonne and Carol (ooopsie, Daryl fall down go bye bye).........what were we talking about?
  12. Tupac was shot 5 times in 1994 and he survived (took a few more to put him down two years later) Well, if you have a healthy, sex positive outlook, there is no shame in being a Madam.
  13. I just found this potentially spoilery article from back in February, reading this and now I am just not excited abut this show. I mean they removed these THREE????
  14. Everyone complains endlessly about "whimsy" both the contestants and the audience. I agree, this particular challenge nobody really hit the mark as far as I am concerned but look, this season (which should have been titled "Coulda been a contender") has folks who have done whimsy, even scARY WHIMSY. Just look at this thing Graham made in his first season...
  15. She had them the first season just not as extreme (although I would still consider this to be extreme)...
  16. If they were the 1% of the 1%, it wouldn't matter if they had magic or not, they would have lives of ease. Think Jeff Bezos, a man who "earns" $52 MILLION A DAY. Amazon could disappear tomorrow and Bezos would still be ultramegadisgustingly rich. Same with any magician who had loads of non-magical money. Those that just had these fantastical lives built purely on magic with no real resources, well then yeah, they would be hurting. I reckon most of them though would have long ago fallen in love with the oldest magic in the world, piles of cold hard cash.
  17. Great episode, lush visuals, clever music, all good but let's talk about Teddy and Delores and what they did together on that bed that left Teddy utterly spent and sleeping. Was that two robots fucking or was that two newly sentient, former objects of depravity, non-human beings mutually consenting to a profound way of self expression? I mean, it was both, right and it really was different from when Meave and Hector shagged in the tent that time. When M & H did it, Maeve was just waking up, Hector was not awake at all, but with Delores and Teddy, things really are different. They represent utterly different archetypes than Hector and Meave in really important ways. Hector was the formerly good guy turned rogue while Teddy was the good guy made to die. Maeve apparently at one point had been a good woman made to die, she was remade into the Madam with a heart of gold and a boatload of moxie too. Somehow, possibly just repeated sloppy handling at the hands of bored techs between each of her lives, Maeve begins to gain consciousness. Delores though, she was almost a prototype, maybe she should be considered one so she has a long, complicated history, she was built to serve complicated and conflicting forces eventually though, she was made to be the damsel in distress, built for rape and death. We the audience expected to see Maeve and Hector fuck, nobody raised an eyebrow over that. We never really had to consider sex between Teddy and Delores, they were the ultimate doomed old timey couple, doomed to never consummate their love due to (usually but not always) MIB, it was just their story line, they did not get to have sex, not with each other, not ever. Delores, from what we saw last season was literally built to be a damsel in distress, she was built to be threatened, be raped, be murdered. Perhaps with other guests she was rescued by the ruffians but still, she wasnt built to have sweet sex with her boyfriend. Now this episode happens to be when they do have that. It's cool, really that some folks are getting hung up on the audacity of two robots fucking. I mean, you see this and it's weird, like two cars suddenly hugging each other. It really is sort of jarring, the idea that these inanimate objects are expressing themselves so intimately, all naked and Delores rocking her O face. You know, the people creating the show could have shown this passionate sharing of self expression some other way. It was important to show that they were really expressing themselves OUTSIDE of their established current imposed story line (Teddy born to die, Delores born to be brutalized) so how could you do that? Let's say you show that via the spontaneous creation of "art". Well, stay too close to the established story lines (Delores plays an original composition on the piano, Teddy tools a leather belt), you fail to show sufficient deviation from the line. Go too far (they jointly create a kinetic glass and human entrails sculpture) you risk most of the audience going huh? I know my argument is weak, I mean ultimately they chose to show them having sex and that was comfortably within tolerance of their story line, you could imagine along with them when they wistfully gazed off into the distance together last season, you knew "someday" for sure included sex. But in this context, it worked to show they are pretty far deviated from whatever story lines they used to have. They both, for the first time in their lives, CHOSE to have sex whichever way you look at it, that's a mighty fine way to share self expression. Delores though, is she broken? Is she running Ford's last story? Is it some bug in the code everywhere? All f the above maybe. TL;DR If you see Delores and Teddy as non-human people, they had sweet sex. If you see them as = a smart phone, they pointlessly pantomimed fucking.
  18. Well really, she was all "ew" due to his being cold as a corpse and probably bummed to since no heart beat would mean he couldnt get it up either so basically, Butch wanted to be cured and returned to warm blooded life.
  19. I really liked this episode. I think John Dorie talks cartoonishly weird (par for the course with this universe) but if I washed up at his door like that, I would go straight for him in a heartbeat.
  20. I dont know but they sure were pretty! Yes, that was a mega-herd! I found his final monologue very moving, I shed a tear and am not ashamed.
