ottoDbusdriver February 24, 2020 Share February 24, 2020 That was pretty bad. The whole waste of time tracking down the beeping sound was ridiculous. And way too much time was focused on Judd and his issues. Plus, it was just creepy with Judd and Matt in the delivery room -- WTF ? Apparently none of the engineering staff read the manual to know what that beeping sound was. So how come the ship's air systems didn't need to be re-calibrated after 4 people died. With the baby being born, the Avenue 5 is down 3 people, so it shouldn't need to be re-calibrated at all. Did the writers not think of that ? Yes, illuminating the orbiting ring of shit, that will solve everything. And what was deal with the Alexa-like co-president ? That was incredibly stupid. And why did the White House in Buffalo appear to be run by college students ? 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106609-s01e06-was-it-your-ears/#findComment-5959297

Joimiaroxeu February 24, 2020 Share February 24, 2020 (edited) Karen couldn't shut her Karen mouth. Isn't that like the default setting for Karens? 😉 One shot to the soft spot and that baby's down for the count. Two presidents. This is a dystopian comedy apparently. 🙄 Since more people on the ship would affect the rate of oxygen depletion it would seem they'd want to limit how many more babies are born. Not sure if there'd be a legal way to do that though. So the 500 people thing is going to be a running plot point?

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.

And why did the White House in Buffalo appear to be run by college students ? I took it as a nod to Idiocracy. I can totally relate to being driven crazy trying to figure out where a beeping sound is coming from. I had a similar experience not too long ago with a phone alert for voicemail. I was going crazy thinking either the microwave oven or one of the smoke detectors was doing it. Or even my cable box. There were some good parts here. I chuckled at Karen cutting off Iris every time during the baby speech. And everyone's reaction to the name they finally picked. At the end of the day, though, I'm surprised the show was renewed. Probably based on the star power behind it more than anything else. Looks like only one more episode for this season.

Not sure if serious. 🤔 Unless I missed a plot point about there being 500 stowaways on the ship, I think all the passengers are entitled to expect to keep living until the voyage is over. That comes with the cost of the ticket, no? However, I can see some people considering themselves more important and more worthy than those 500 slobs who might need to be jettisoned or whatever. Basic elitism. (The silly sci-fi movie "2012" depicts this mentality rather well, IMO. I've occasionally wondered if the people behind this show got some ideas from that movie.) 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106609-s01e06-was-it-your-ears/#findComment-5960906

They showed the main characters really weary so I think it's fair to say the entire ship was deprived. I liked the No Flouncing rule, quiet talking, etc. It's all just so silly. The comedian always trying to tell a joke about shoehorns keeps cracking me up. The extra six months of travel was due to the additional 500 lottery winners so I figured that's where it came from.

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.
