Saw the first 2 eps of PLUR1BUS, and my mind is already broken from the implications (sp of course)

It must be difficult to write this show, given how many ingrained assumptions you would have to dispense with.

If Koumba was indeed taking sexual liberties with any and everyone he could, then that means he was having sex with every living child on Earth.

But then, there are no children left on Earth. The state of childhood is defined by lack of knowledge and lack of experience, neither of which exist anymore. The rabbit hole just keeps going.

even before shit went down, she was an alcoholic misanthrope who was barely hanging on.

I was impressed with her insight in countering some of the points Zosia and Laxmi were making at the luncheon.

Yep. If you're slow playing this into a multi-season show, she can't immediately know what to do

I haven't watched Ep. 3 yet but I think the pace at which she receives and interprets information in the first two episodes is logical for the character.

Finished the 3rd episode last night. I hope she doesn't continue this tirade bitch attitude much

Don’t really know how it’s gonna be 11 vs the world here or what angle they are taking but I’m in.

Also, wasn’t this the concept for a black mirror episode? The one w the computer village that took over dudes mind space and then when he was interviewed at the police station something like this was gonna go down or did?

I’m fuzzy on it but I felt I had seen this before by the end of plurbus

All shows I liked quite a bit. The Lincoln Lawyer is solid. Oh, The Sinner was good, too.

Watched all of Task and Reacher, but those are exactly what I am looking for

1. we don't bring our own snacks to the airport

response - uh yes we can - have you seen airport prices

2. we don't print off boarding passes - use your phone

response - as a somewhat frequent traveler (1) i've seen plenty of people not have their pass pulled up, brightness set. etc....and (2) my work requires that my phone has a max time to screen out at 1 min. So I'd rather hand them a piece of paper than incessantly tap my phone.

3. don't get to the airport too early

Response - I don't fully relax in air travel until the plane lifts off. Its no problem for me to sit in a terminal for 90 minutes before takeoff. Plenty of ways to entertain myself.

He's tremendous, and it's a very good cast.

Curious what the timeline will be between this season and season 6. I've read season 6 combines books 6 and 7 so it might take a bit longer to bring out.

The trailer looked pretty solid for S6. I know they can push those out before production wraps.

The books are great, too. They make for excellent source material, and the TV does them justice. And agree that Oldman is absolutely fantastic as Lamb, which is the really critical character to make the stories work.

If you're caught up on Season 5, the whole scene with the paint can, and the aftermath of it was just amazing television. So was the Stasi story scene. And the fart scene.

The paint can part was actually my least favorite part of the season, just felt a bit unnecessary to have him die from a 1 in a million Rube Goldberg type of scenario rather than something more realistic. I know it’s not a super-serious show in a lot of ways but it felt a bit too cartoon-y for me.

Shows that can take me one direction, and in the same episode drag me to the complete opposite direction, I love that stuff. The whole Stasi scene goes from super dark to the team taking his cue, and the back and forth.

And the two characters play it perfectly. Just the standing there in a daze. It was perfect.
