    I think a lot of the stuff in the finale was set up by conversations and plot points from previous episodes, but even then, some of it felt a little sudden given what had happened in the episode right before that. There is some great stuff in that finale, though, and it's stuff I definitely didn't expect to see coming in to the show, even with a decent idea of what Aziz Ansari likes to talk about.

    But yeah, Mornings and Old People were two pretty goddamned great episodes.

    Some of the stuff in the finale was a little clunky
    Like the privileged nature of "solving all my problems by moving to another continent" was weird to me

    And also that Dev said he's going to "pasta-making school"

    Like, bro do you mean culinary school?

    I don't think Italy has entire schools about pasta

    If it was for the audience's benefit, that's a real weird lack of faith that people would get it

    I approve of this thread title.

    Limitless is absurdly good, also it has Colin Salmon *swoon*

    I DIDNT KNOW WATLER STEEL AKA OLIVER QUEENS STEP DAD WAS THE BADASS TEAM LEADER FROM RESIDENT EVIL

    sorry about caps but after much self reflection, i stand by them as they relay my emotional state at learning this particular tidbit.

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    This X-Files episode about a corporate AI gaining sentience is adorable.

    Early-90s computer predictions are hilarious 100% of the time

    Or the video game character that became self aware and started murdering people in some VR simulation.

    And then they have to confront her in the game while trying to stop her.

    Super early XFiles has them driving through the super huge mountains in Iowa and I couldn't stop laughing. I mean I know it's hard when everything is filmed in Canada but just find a corn field or some pigs on some flat land and you are like 90% of the way to an accurate representation.

    He wrote Neuromancer on a typewriter.

    Of course, considering the man's prose style is maybe the best of anyone alive today, I wouldn't be inclined to resent it if he claimed that computers were 'a kind of advanced toaster oven' powered by 'the bitter disappointment of children'.

    it's weird, since they filmed a few episodes when they finished filming season four to get out ahead of this a little

    I imagine they think, at this point, its audience is going to be there for it whenever it airs, so they can play with their schedule a bit???

    it does suck that they're holding season 4 back from netflix for so long, there are some episodes from last season I definitely want to watch again

    As good as New in Town, or should I temper my expectations.

    I was but Ms Chilla said she'd seen it coming for like a whole season. So I must have just missed some subtext.

    Thats interesting, because i didnt interpret it that way. I guess it makes sense that is what they ment, but having several platonic, non romantic opposite and same sex friends that are intimate with me and each other, well i didn't read it as love.

    I saw it as a thank you kiss.

    If I can squeeze it in i will watch the season again.

    Nah i understand, my BFF's family does similar stuff with their kids and it was unusual for a while.

    These friends grew up in same type of environment and i was surprised that it was more common than i thought. I'm use to it now.

    We are all very close though. that's important to note.
