So, I just spent the past week-and-a-half watching the entirety of this this amazing show. I avoided this thread until now to avoid spoilers, but now that I'm caught up-- Thoughts!

) the best, and the one joke I never got tired of was her constantly just appearing in increasingly outlandish costumes.

Senerio posted:Congratulations to Peter Collier for getting out of the show early enough to be able to now be Tony Award Winning. Fun fact: fellow Hamilton cast member and Tony nominee Chris Jackson was also in this show! He played a security guard in the episode with the Asian acrobat thief.

Some multiple times Yeah, but Law and Order was on the air for like a thousand years and had eleventy different spinoffs. If you were an actor of any sort in New York, it would've been hard not to appear on it at some point.

I love this weird, awesome show and I'm sad I discovered it so late. There's a different experience with bingeing a show vs taking it in over time, letting the characters and plotlines and themes percolate in your head. As fun as it was to binge, this is one crazy train I wouldn't have minded riding for the full trip. Or at least from season 2 onward.

I Am Satisfied.  John, Machine 1.0. Welcome, Machine 2.0. You have a lot to learn, but your predecessor seems to have left you some good instructions to start with. Time to get to work.

One thing I was kind of hoping to happen-- if Samaritan had a backup copy then obviously it had a place it intended to upload it to after the storm had passed. I was expecting a bunch of Samaritan agents standing around, watching a screen with baited breath, waiting for their god to return, only to be greeted by the Machine UI and a hearty  LOL, YOU THOUGHT. HERE'S SOME IRRELEVANT NUMBERS, LOSERS, GO MAKE YOURSELVES USEFUL.

Man, this show was so good. I'm sad all over again that I found it so late in its life. I'm also sad that Leon never showed up again. I assume it's because the actor got another job. Can anybody tell me what show stole him from us? Was it any good? I hope it was at least decent.

If he got some form of satisfaction from the show (and he definitely seemed to), I don't see what the big deal is. So what if some things are worse sped up? Some things are better. If YouTube has taught me anything, it's that some really dull songs actually sound amazing when played at 1.25 or 1.5x speed. Some even work at 2x.

Toxic masculinity is the thing that ruined Reese's life. He straight up says that he hosed up his own life because he couldn't open his big stupid mouth and actually say feelings stuff to the woman he desperately loved and would've died for.

It was literally "just say your feelings and I'll wait for you." There was no choice involved; he could've done his duty as a soldier and then gone home and banged his hot girlfriend and had a fairly happy life, but instead he clammed up and said nothing, his girl found someone else, and he got a job working out his feelings through government-sponsored murder. Like, he literally says this in the show. It's never framed as a choice between girlfriend and country; it's framed as Reese being too emotionally constipated to be honest with her, and spending the rest of his life dealing with the fallout.

Again; he was not making her wait. It was a choice. She was willing. All he had to do was ask, and he didn't. It was his choice, and he made the wrong one. When you say he chose correctly, you are literally contradicting not only Reese himself, but his entire arc in the show. The definition of toxic masculinity is essentially: Men are soldiers. Men don't have feelings. Men fight and kill and sacrifice because it's their duty. Men must bear all burdens and they must do it alone. Reese's entire loving character arc is unlearning that and realising that he can have feelings and attachments, he can depend on others, he is allowed to want happiness for himself. I have no idea how you could watch the show and miss that.
