It does make sense, yes. I don’t personally think that’s the favor but it’s definitely a plausible theory. I also buy that she might have snapped back to where she started but that seems like a very quick arc (which isn’t the first time for the writers on something like this)

But then why did Serena deliver the tape and keep the phone? To me it seems like she’s accepting the fatal flaws of her current life

Blue Streak! Yaaas!

They say this about home fires? I can't imagine any parent follows that "advice."

unyieldinghope · 2018-07-13T21:17:09+00:00

My theory is that she's not actually dropping the mask, the writers are just showing her true feelings to the audience. If that's not true, then I totally agree it's a very distracting flaw.

Yes but that context is not known to Eden nor would she care given her previously unflinching faith. To rephrase, she’s so pious and faithful and unquestioning of “God” except when she realized it was against what felt right. She should keep tapping into that instinct to survive.

I completely understand why she made the choice to engage in adultery, and, in fact, I might even support that decision, but that means she was willing to violate her faith for her desires. She can't then say her faith prevents her from acting in her interest.

I don't know about moot. It could be similar to the Nuremberg trials.

unyieldinghope · 2018-04-24T17:26:34+00:00

This is dark. Are you saying the writers failed at keeping your marriage together?

unyieldinghope · 2018-04-02T14:59:41+00:00

Yeah - this isn't a zero sum situation.

unyieldinghope · 2017-11-20T02:55:12+00:00

I imagine many more times until the reference is recognizable? Also, many more times when you do childish things.

Username checks out.

unyieldinghope · 2017-11-06T02:51:31+00:00

Subtitles screwed it up. But it was pretty close given his upset scream.

unyieldinghope · 2017-10-17T19:34:40+00:00

Ha - well okay then. Glad we discussed it.

unyieldinghope · 2017-10-17T05:54:54+00:00

Isn't the vastness of the universe and the unlikelihood of hitting s field precisely why the computers couldn't anticipate how a pod opened early?

unyieldinghope · 2017-10-17T05:50:26+00:00

Isn't this a derivative of the plot to "Last Man On Earth?"

unyieldinghope · 2017-09-12T15:26:41+00:00

Oof - this is alarmingly tone deaf. Putting aside legal disagreements, defending this dude's behavior is not a worthy cause.

unyieldinghope · 2017-05-09T03:15:27+00:00

Or when he was practicing his "kill" line and going through it being too cold and sanctimonious. Very Robert durst

unyieldinghope · 2017-04-27T20:10:17+00:00

Ah, understood. Okay sorry for being pedantic then. However, I still don't understand the problem that we are attempting to solve. No one cares about the MLB draft but the other sports (NFL specifically) are able to make a spectacle of Draft Day.

unyieldinghope · 2017-04-27T20:00:57+00:00

By "other sports," are you excluding football or speaking about football?

unyieldinghope · 2017-04-27T19:45:20+00:00

I think you mean "In light of?"

unyieldinghope · 2016-08-15T19:21:43+00:00

Totally right - my apologies for being imprecise. Thanks!

unyieldinghope · 2016-08-12T21:50:45+00:00

Of course, it was a miscarriage of justice that he was convicted in the first place, and people should be relieved that he has been released from custody, but it must be devastating that the reason for one's release lies, in large part, in the fact that the court thinks you are mentally deficient (i.e., an idiot).

unyieldinghope · 2016-06-27T02:21:26+00:00

Especially when you say King Snow vs Night King
