THRILLHO

I thought that it was a step back in the right direction. Loved Favourite and Killing of a Sacred Deer, and really liked The Lobster. Didn't care for Poor Things (though I loved the visuals/art styles) and hated Kinds of Kindness. As always (with the exception to Favourite), it's not for casual watchers, but for the most part, it's a lot less "weird" than his previous two.

Him telling the middle-aged maid to jump into the orgy was a step further into depravity. That's someone's mom's body. Maybe those are all former prostitutes he's sleeping with.

It's fricked up to us because he has many much more attractive options available. Morally, I don't really see the difference.

There's a VERY dark direction that the show could go on this topic, but I don't think that they will (and hope that they don't). Gilligan probably intended for these kind of moral questions to occur to viewers, but they're not necessarily the focus of the show. But significant moral disagreements between the remaining normies could lead to some interesting situations. What does the hive do if the normies attempt to kill each other?

Didn’t he seem to understand her video or was it translated or subtitled?

---

The video was shown out of focus when he was watching, but it looked like the hive did subtitle it for him. It's also possible that he picked up on random words. He knows based on both the video and their phone call (when she called him a bitch) that she's still normal. And he may have just known the word "twelve" and put together context clues that there are still 12 normies left. But I'm leaning towards subtitled.

A lot of talk about whether or not banging all of these chicks is rape or not (which is a reasonable ethical question). Not enough talk about your gamgam's consciousness being in that gorgeous 25 year old blonde.

Curious to see how Carol and Manousos communicate. I doubt that either will trust using translation software that the hive could be spying on (though Carol could just leave a message with Hamlin and ask if they're spying, Manousos may not be OK with it). Even if they wanted to use a translator, the hive is still avoiding Carol. They're probably going to have to do it the oldschool way with books, but that doesn't make for good TV (though if anyone can think of a good way to do it, Gilligan is the man).

he’s basically expiring salary at this point. I would not be surprised if it costs the pelicans missi or herb or similar just to get rid of him. If that’s the case hopefully dumars has sense enough just to waive him

:confused:

There was just a thread on this. IIRC, if we cut Zion right now, he's only guaranteed the rest of this season's salary. Unless Gayle wants to save short term money (probably) and there's a team that can eat most of his 2025/26 salary without sending similar salaries back (doubtful), then there's no reason to attach an asset to dump him.

I did not vote for this.

I don't understand your request, but I will do my absolute best to accommodate it.

Weak attempt to replace Pio’s GOAT annual Thanksgiving thread.

As has been mentioned, Pio hasn't posted since early January. Someone implied that he's dead. Thanksgiving is 3 hours away and he hasn't chimed in. Someone needed to do something.
