  1. Death by Lightning. What a profoundly sad show. By all accounts, Garfield was a salt of the earth type much like Lincoln. A worthy, if reluctant heir to his legacy.Ā

    I think Offerman should win an Emmy. Betty Gilpin should get nominated.Ā 
    Ā 
    Shannon, Whigham, and Bradley Whitford are just so steady and competent that they really didn’t stick out. Kind of like a good offensive line.Ā 

    Wife and I watched this the last 3 nights.

    Talk about a really well done interesting story about an assassination we had no idea about…

    We both commented… wait Garfield was assassinated so close to Lincoln?!?

    Sent both of down the rabbit hole of their stories.

    The acting was really solid!

  2. While I’m sure Diabete is having fun banging out models on Air Force One, he must understand his mother is part of the hive mind. He was at the lunch in Bilbao. He heard Carol’s point about the shared consciousness.Ā 
    Ā 
    Ick dude.Ā 

    SMH.

    Whatever, line me up Ana de armas, Sydney Sweeney, Liz Hurley, Haley berry and the entire Dallas cowboys cheerleaders team on Marine One…

  3. Through Episode 1.
    My best guess.
    Spoiler

    The alien hive mind needs 100% participation to accomplish their mission.
    I can’t work out yet why Carol and the other 11 didn’t catch the virus, but some people were immune to Covid, the Spanish Flu and other worldwide viruses. Nature is funny.
    I also can’t work out why the virus killed humans including Helen in some numbers. If the aliens are trying to Borg the Earth, is killing so many humans effective?Ā 
    Ā 
    Interesting show to think about.Ā

    I think the deaths are often a combination of poor timing.

    Like Helen, I think her death was because she fell backwards and hit her head really hard.

    I’d imagine there were a lot of casualties because of accidents they couldn’t control during the take over. Additional casualties when the military response.

    I mean if Carol’s tantrum killed 11million the first time, I’d imagine a 4 month take over would have some high death rates

    So when she was flying over to meet everyone, I joked to my wife that I’d be flying in a B2 stealth or F14 or some badass jet!!! Not a dang regular plane….

    She said that’s dumb.

    Then we see Diabate (sp?) roll in on Air Force One and I just laughed so damn loud, my wife said of course someone actually did that.

  5. This is a good show. I smoked a bowl and watched the first episode and took a nap. Talk about some crazy dreams.Ā 
    I’m not sure if they will stick with her being a total asshole for the whole show, that might get old, but I’m definitely in.Ā 

    I think that’s the point of her character.

    She can’t be happy. So some love-in take over that basically is saying be happy, is gonna drive her to end their take-over.

    I think…
  6. I'm guessing that due to the military doing something and trying to fight the takeover, a bunch of the administration were being flown somewhere and crashed. Maybe tied to all of those aircraft she saw flying that night.

    I thought the contrails were an allusion to their drastic measures to seed the rest of the population

  7. As a finale, it was a meh finale.

    As the season end that has to have a 2nd season, it was a solid episode.

    It really was the Wendy is actually the monster you should fear.

    Plant alien was meh.

    And damnit you can’t leave me hanging with Squidbillie!!!!

  8. Sorry, poorly worded on my part should have read ā€œdid Kirsh advise Boyā€¦ā€.
    Ā 
    Said more plainly, does Boy know that Arthur is dead? Ā 

    Doh, yeah now I read it that way!

    Lmao, I don’t think he did. He was playing his trap very close to the vest
  9. I can’t recall, did Kirsh advise that Arthur was unalived? Ā If not, my guess is he thinks they’ll round Arthur back up (he knows he didn’t get on the boat) and ā€œimplantā€ him. Ā That gives him a smart person and he can also see how implanted Arthur interacts with Dame. Ā 
    Ā 

    He saw the boys carrying Arthur away with a face hugger attached and assisted them in getting past security
