Getting more and more obvious that Tinlsey's hug last season kicked off the AI evolving.  He was listening to Luke about rest, even calling him Pastor Luke.  The AI also just wanted a meal with people to celebrate the holiday, and asked Luke more questions.

The jokes that Lakeview Nathan was better looking that Downloaded Nathan were funny.  A lot of credit goes to Robbie Amell for his reactions to them.

And on the shallow, I thought real world Ingrid looked better than Lakeview Ingrid.

This show is taking the absurd to a level that isn't believably funny anymore.  
Nathan's mother is destitute and just recently tried to upload (kill) herself - - but Nathan doesn't seem to care about that.
Nathan "just happens" to run into his mother as well as real-life Ingrid while randomly wandering around in the city. What are the chances? 

All the characters have been reduced to being idiotic to serve whatever circumstances the writers want them to be in.  
Nora and Nathan were supposedly smart and tech savvy - but now act as if they couldn't tie their own shoe laces.

It doesn't help matters that I cannot buy into the concept of this digital afterlife being a viable extension of existence.  Nora is passing around disks that contain "people" who were "uploaded"  - but their relatives cannot afford to put them into a virtual environment. WtF?  "People" can be kept on a shelf like an urn of ashes and turned on and off depending on financial ability?

it's 'shoe' not 'show'

I just want to give Nathan (and the show) credit for his calm and sweet response to Nevaeh throwing a tampon at him. "Aw, Nevaeh, you're all grown up." A lot of other shows would've gone with him being grossed out, but nope, he's a good uncle and maintains basic maturity.
