  1. What about Liberation Day? The tariffs are generating so much money for the American people. What about following through on the campaign promise to finally release the Epstein files and expose those scumbags Clinton and Gates? That’s a major accomplishment. What about getting Erika Kirk back on the market so JD Vance can get a partner with a more suitable fabric color? What about getting the economy to record highs and ending the affordability hoax?
  2. Their recent movie All of You also had nudity. I think it’s a misconception that Apple prohibits this, but no one is doing it to the extent that 2000-2015 HBO did it.
  3. There was a topless girl in the Breaking Bad pilot and, to my knowledge, Gilligan did not light himself on fire.
  4. If only we could guess what the black stuff is hiding.
  5. Where did the premise say anything about selling out your autonomy? I would interpret it as you are putting in the same amount of work from home that you would in the office, and that your professional autonomy is essentially equal. With regards to the 5 hours you are supposedly saving by not getting ready for work and commuting each day, I think it’s a fairly big assumption that most people would fill that time with productive personal activities. Some people would, especially those with demanding schedules who struggle to balance family commitments and personal interests and are highly motivated to make both work. But I think a lot of people would simply sleep more or waste time doomscrolling their phones. Meanwhile, the extra $120k could easily cover time saving expenses like a landscaping service, housekeeper, meal prep, etc.
  6. It’s probably the couch thing. It’s well known that JD Vance likes to have sex with couches, and that oddity might be okay because lots of people have weird kinks, but most of those couches were less than 8 years old, which even Megyn Kelly would agree is a bridge too far.
  7. I would prefer he commit seppuku.
  8. For as nice as Carol’s house is, having her fridge pushed up against a wall is not ideal. Have fun opening the left side door. I know they built the house for the show and there probably wasn’t a lot of thought put into the kitchen layout, but come on.
  9. Same. I apparently have different TV tastes from some of the posters here. I spent too much time pausing and consulting Google maps and looking at photos and other random shit from the checkpoints on his route. Enjoyed watching Carol finally take some time to fuck around.
  10. I wish she would ask them: -where did the genetic code for the virus originate? who or what created it? -what is their end game? Pretty basic big picture questions that might help her understand what type of adversary she is up against.
  11. Interesting to read these takes. I’m definitely team Carol. Maybe she’s a bit of a bitch but the situation kinda calls for it. I like her bitchiness. There are other shows where I can’t stand a main character that other viewers seem fine with and that usually ruins the show for me, so I get it.
  12. Based on the ratio of dead people (~1 billion) to remaining live people (~7 billion), the average corpse would feed 7 people for how long? Assume average body weight of 180 lbs and ignore for a second the corpse has a lot of water weight, that’s 25.7 lbs of tissue per living human. Perhaps they are supplementing it with other dead animals or another nutrition source because that wouldn’t last very long. And then what happens? Start sacrificing the critically ill?
  13. Sort of disagree. I think this is the expected pace of this show, which will gradually set the stage for this bizarro dystopian world, and the viewer gets to contemplate the problem through Carol’s eyes. The story advances by revealing small bits of information about the conflict, rather than major action sequences. Last episode, we learned that they cannot lie and their condition is likely reversible. This episode, we learned that they are willing to withdraw for either emotional reasons or their own safety, and that they most likely consume the dead. I think that’s the expectation for the average episode.
  14. It will be hilarious if CA has updated maps for 2026 and TX does not.
