- 2:30 —
68339AE358 - 3:30 — That’s a lot of information for a short string.
- 9:30 — Ugh, this is really out of order because the partner is alive, and maybe not even converted.
- 9:45 — I think I recognize that actor, but I’m not sure.. maybe it’s just because her jaw/mouth/teeth structures remind me of an actor in The Matrix – (1999 movie).

- 18:00 — Oh wow, they let a women die. It must be serious.
- 23:00 — I’ve seen whatever that show is, but I can’t recall it offhand.
- 25:00 — So they’re rubbing up against one another on their way out. Shouldn’t they be immediately contained and scrubbed and tested again? Hell, shouldn’t all of them be in biohazard suits right now?
- 27:45 — I vaguely recognize that “you need to come with me” guy, but his hair doesn’t match what I vaguely remember.

- 35:45 — “Tolerance” is a negative concept. I still can’t comprehend how people could be that terrible..
- 37:00 — Oh, it’s a Marxist conference.
