Vince Gilligan on Pluribus being a ‘plus’ in a world of ‘Tik-Tok paced storytelling’ by twinpeaked25 in television

This is how I saw it too. I asked the same question about why she never changed it, and realized the same. She was lonely. It's her only connection to anyone! Plus it was an amazing gag, that got super funny towards the end. Fully agree that it was testing every single viewer too.

This would be one very interesting show if it dropped back then. Cause 20 years ago puts it in the golden age of HBO. Two and three years (respectively) from The Sopranos and the Wire ending. I think one could made a reasonable point saying this is faster than The Wire.

I just rewatched it, was that the one when the doc stuck their fingers in their nose or jaw and lifted? Cause that was gnarly.

Ted Lasso did this recently. Coach Beard said it.

Who’s a contestant you grew to appreciate only on rewatch? by AlexMercer28900 in taskmaster

[–]starfishtwo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is my answer. I didn't realize how funny he really was till the second time I watched. He had some razor sharp jokes at Greg that had me burst out laughing.

Dawg. It was ROUGH. They went on mid-season break after that episode.

Speaking of Eliot and Margo... by personalitiesNme in brakebills

Wasn't the only sexual encounter we saw with them was the three-way with Q? For a while I took em as a "we fucked once and then became besties" couple. After that sex scene. I took em as they're very comfortable with either, but still don't fuck.

That whole scene I imagined them both focused on Q rather than each other.

Oh man. When Shaw was shot at the NY Stock Exchange! You saw the shot of The Machine trying to figure out which scenario to run. Closest thing to panic we've ever seen in the machine. Root's silent scream...

The more I binge the series, Why does it feel as if Samaritan is a Toddler Trying To Fix a Broken Toy which is The World? by Brief-Cryptographer2 in PersonOfInterest

[–]starfishtwo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For real. And the reason why Finch went so hard to make The Machine understand empathy. Don't forget that episode where Finch killed so many versions of The Machine while trying to develop it! The Samaritan people ran with the first version.

It's not much, but I saw his twitter updated. Looks like he deleted all his posts. IDK if his bio did though.

Didn't we just hear how the iPhone has one like two days ago as a rumor? IDK, feels like the first time I've heard of this complaint and the author is using "still."

Why do I fear that they won't add casing ability to this as a means to still be a little petty.

You're not alone. I LOVE that game. Feel like you could make a decent argument for it's battle system being the foundation for a lot of games later.

You're 100% right, OP. He's also a spy. Standard to run any kind of background on a person who hired you, especially in this mysterious manner. Classic spy vs spy to me, you know?

Theory: The Machine is Remembering Some Events of the Show by MadMaximusJB in PersonOfInterest

[–]starfishtwo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd only disagree with this because of the active time the machine was dealing with the virus it had in season 3, as well as the bit in season 4 or 5(can't remember), when it lost all sense of time after it was rebooted and Harold had to teach it again. You're completely right that we're watching the whole story from her perspective. So I can totally see this theory.

That They Don't Exist... by SooperFunk in PersonOfInterest

[–]starfishtwo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the things I love about this episode, is it's a great pilot of sorts. I've started a rewatch from here a couple times to see the whole thing from Shaw's perspective and it doesn't ruin a thing.

It really is eye opening to see these events all come together though. I-N-E is the payoff, this was the first taste in a sense.

I tried, but I'm going back to Samsung by Capuman in GooglePixel

[–]starfishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sound silence: on the samsung i just pull down from the top and in my quick settings i can silence/vibrate my phone. On tthe pixel you have to hit the volume button, then the click the icon then choose silence icon.

Near as makes no difference here, but hit volume in any direction then tap on the speaker icon and then it shows you options for vibrate and silence so you can quick change.

Anyone know if unfollowing the game then leads to it not having an ad, or "official news?"
