Good, and recommended, but a bunch of it plays like it’s the masturbatory fantasy of one of the writers. Gee, I wonder which one.
This is not science fiction. I don’t know what fucking idiot thought it could be.

- 16:30 — Limbic resonance, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine
- 16:45 — No, it’s not in every living thing. So is this to be the main suspension of disbelief in this series?

s01e02 – 2015-06-05 – I Am Also a We ∞
Spoiler
- 2:00 — So the gay/transvestite theme is because one of The Wachowskis is one. I actually don’t like having this sort of thing pushed into the series, because it’s variously obnoxious, insulting or offensive for viewer-vicariousness and distracting to the story.

- 7:30 — Lion (Predation)
- 15:30 — That’s an interesting ashtray-container thing.
- 16:15 — He’d be on leave, because he was injured. As such, he wouldn’t need to be in uniform. Also, he would have interviewers on his heels. Not television-interviewers, but the same Homeland security guys who would like to know, say, how the two happened to show up at the same convenience store at the same time.
- 17:15 — Is it racist for me to say I somehow see the resemblance?

- 23:40 — Why burn who could be their supplier?
-
23:45 — Cyanoacrylate, Buttocks, Toilet seat.
- Super glue wouldn’t have stayed liquid and usable for long enough for her to sneak in then out. But funny story, and yet another example of bitter backbiting sabotaging women who want to feel in the right about anything.
- 24:00 — Asperger syndrome, Australians
- 27:00 — Iceland, Pianist, Winter, Spring, Suicide
- 34:00 — Bare-knuckle boxing

| 40:00 – Dem abs. |
- 7:00 — He lost his job, through no fault of his own. Then I started berating him, then beating him. I finally made him snap and hit me back. Then I was justified in poisoning him. Too bad I got caught and they blamed me. I was always in the right.

- 24:00 — I can’t remember what movie had an attempt like this, with his dad taking a bath and the son lowering a cable to strangle him from a window. Something about the dad making his son and daughter take a shit before eating.
2023-04-28 – I was going to continue watching this, but because it’s from “The Wachowskis”, which explains the cringe, I’m just going to let this die and be a vague memory.
