First off, I have to point out the show is now an Emmy winner for its music, and it has the chance for more in the main ceremony on Sunday. I doubt it'll get any of them since Shogun is an Everything Everywhere All At Once level award monster (and everything I've ever wanted as a long time fan of the book), but this really does feel like a "the nomination is enough" situation for this kind of goofy sci-fi show. Every single reactor I've seen is firmly on Maximus' side from the start, that they're clearly just being fattened up until it's time to go in the wicker man. Cherian Dabis and Chris Parnell both perfectly nail the outwardly friendly vibe with an unmistakable sinister undercurrent, and just like that one subplot from The Sandman, it's lovely to see an acknowledgement that hack edgelord comedians should always be treated with immediate suspicion. And I love getting more of that delightful twist to the usual setup for these things, that the naive privileged character thrown into the dark harsh real world is also the one who's totally open about sex. And if Season 2 has Goosey going all Pleasantville on the Brotherhood, I'm all for it. The best thing I can say about that ending is I find the big reveal incredibly hard to watch despite not even having the parts that would hurt (at least to start with). After Cooper took last time off, the show very much makes up for it here, and I'm sure Walton was giddy about getting to do so much work without going through the makeup. The dog rule is unquestionably where I would draw the line; I've seen that Twilight Zone and I know how this ends. Glenn Fleshler is always a joy, and I was very happy to see he survives so we can get more of him and Walton bouncing off each other. And then there's the final big twist, which is a kind I really like where we have absolutely no idea what to make of it, but everything else about the show has been done so well that you feel perfectly comfortable that a good answer is coming and don't mind waiting for it, especially when there's so many more immediate concerns. What exactly is going on with Norm that's worth extending that payoff with just two episodes to go?

Very well said, how you describe: they’re doing such a good job propelling the story forward whilst slowly unraveling the mysteries. More or less shared reaction to Lucy’s very forward proposition, albeit I said, “Whoa! Slow down, girl, you don’t have to hit the gas like that.” Likewise, shared thing of needing to process how the sex education is apparently so bad that even Mace fucking Windu would balk and say, “What are these motherfuckers telling people!?” The vault shown feels like The Wicker Man, Rosemary’s Baby, and Sunset Boulevard all wrapped up in Pleasantville tissue paper with pink ribbons on it. It is a great reversal in this episode how Lucy (or was it, Goosey?) and Maximus switching places with their perspectives with this vault. You speak true of how Lucy sees the vault and it’s the comforts of home, hence her missing the big red flag of they are only in the vault via falling into a trippy-trap as I recall you like to call it from time to time. Maximus, by contrast, is used to the overly dour and serious brotherhood, and is put off by the excessive cheerfulness, which would unnerve me as well. And as they both get exposed to certain things, how they reverse. I mean, it is nice to see Maximus enjoy some comforts, even if you smell the rottenness in the state of Denmark. You mention the comfy slippers being a good hook. If they tried to ply me with bagna càuda, they’d probably have some success as that would be a most compelling reason to stay. I would note how unlikely it is that they had my preferred brand of beer, noting, “Impressive. Still. I bet they don’t have any Old Style around these parts.” In terms of lore, it feels like the show is doing its own thing, or at least I am told that fans got pissy about the chalkboard and that the timeline is “bullshit”; they’d probably love the people who yelled about Ki-Adi-Mundi’s age. Knew you would not appreciate that one scene when Lucy sneaks into the west wing, and that you didn’t need the one specific part. As to you potentially reaching, I mean, I’d rather not think about whatever fuckery they’re doing with the women. Even with the reticence to get into the specifics, it does not sound much of a reach that you reached, certainly tame compared to Michael Jordan stretching his arm to reach the hoop to make the game winning play. How you say the show places us in the viewpoint of Lucy and Maximus. I feel like I’m more placed in the viewpoint of the Ghoul. That speaks to loving Walton in the role. It also speaks to how blackened and cold and dead my heart and soul are. Speaking of: Seeing Walton in the opening makes me REALLY want him to be the host of several Rod Serling revivals. Love the growing Kubrickian meets Chayefsky satire/condemnation of the Ghoul’s plotline of the past. Sidenote, the flashbacks feel like they’re done similar to the Shenanigans by Mike Flanagan, hence I would imagine why you’ve been loving them as you have. You and me both on being so plucked if in the Ghoul’s place, Barb just tells him the big party is going to be at their house that night. I LOATHE when people do that, and my family does it all the time, and I keep sounding like Richard Burton, saying, “I wish you’d tell me about things sometimes. I wish you’d stop springing things on me all the time.” I’m also on his and your side on how annoyed he is that he keeps having to put up with the one assclown who keeps saying, “Hi. Bud Askins, Southern California overseer. Damn glad to meet ya.” Loved how you got sick of the guy fast. In his house, by the way, tis a damn fine poster. Also, a reference to a real movie, one that is very apropos to the show. I’m serious, look it up. Barb does exhibit some fantastic acting whilst her character is feeling very Laureen Hobbs, or at least I’m getting strong Laureen Hobbs vibes from her. She raises alarm bells when mentioning the good vaults, and you can tell the Ghoul picked up on that. I’m on the Ghoul’s and your side of being appalled of the no dogs in the vault rule. I’m a cat person who has a mild phobia of dogs, and even I’M saying that’s bullshit. You fight for Rocco, Jess. Love how you noted the supply and demand circle before Charlie talked about it. If this show reveals that fluoridation was the reason for the bombs being dropped, I’m going to piss myself laughing. In the Ghoul’s present day, it is nice how he squares his debt to Lucy by taking the blame for the Burke and Hare shopping mall. Great to see Glenn Fleshler. I also got an appreciative laugh, (and I’m probably one of the very few people under at least forty who had this response) when it’s revealed that the fat cat in the white suit that calls himself president is named Sorrel Booker. I ultimately pointed to the screen, saying, “Good touch.” The goons clearly felt lucky, and the Ghoul made short work of them. Fantastic new wrinkle of the Ghoul knowing Moldaver long ago. As to why Moldaver is not ghouly, I don’t know, and it appears neither does the Ghoul, though I’m sure he’d be very interested in the answer to that question. Regardless, a good hook to leave us on with only two episodes left this season, and a lovely reaction to see before getting to said two episodes. I have been very much enjoying sharing this show with you, Jess, thank you for the lovely reaction.

In terms of just being happy about the nominations, that’s me with Walton for this, and in terms of shows, Ripley and True Detective. And probably other stuff that I’m forgetting right now. That was also the case with David Thewlis as Varga, though I BADLY wanted the win there. Still upset that Mary Elizabeth Winstead got snubbed for Fargo, as have Jennifer Jason Leigh and Sam Spruell for this last season of Fargo. The whole vibe of the place is such that you half expect Britt Ekland to be dancing naked in the next room to tempt our heroes. Good comparison to The Sandman. That big reveal at the end was painful to watch. As mentioned, I’m a cat person with a mild phobia of dogs, and even I’D draw the line on the no dogs rule. Just because I don’t like dogs does NOT mean I’m going to keep others from having their dogs in the vaults. Sidenote, shared thing of having seen The Twilight Zone, though I feel old how every time I say something recalls or feels Twilight Zone, I hear everyone else say Black Mirror, such as the Dot and Bubble episode of Doctor Who, which was pure Twilight Zone, the 73 Yards episode too. Loved the energy between Walton and Glenn. Shared thing of having no idea where this is going to go, and I don’t know having not seen it yet, yet there is the trust and confidence that the revelations will be handled well, even with delaying more of Norm’s plot, which you did mention how it feels like when a member of the protagonist triangle is absent, it gets balanced out with more Norm. Nonetheless, as of this point, yeah, there is the feeling of you don’t mind waiting to see how it all plays out.

It definitely feels deliberate that they cast a black actress as Barb, even with it never coming up in dialogue. It's just there in front of you making the point of how much anyone could be sucked into this scheme no matter how much their personal experience might tell them better, and you really do get the argument she's making.
