All in. I had a few doubts early on that I think I articulated in the main forum somewhere, but the theme seems more broad now that just "hey y'all, AI might be scary."

I was getting bored with it for a few episodes but seeing Carol finally crack was a decent payoff. And what’s his names journey from Paraguay (?) was pretty great.

Different strokes and all that, but my wife and I have been riveted the entire time.

Vince Gilligan seems to love long scenes of people working. Carol Sturka, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.

slight spoiler: i had no idea there was no road connecting Colombia to Panama!

^^^^^^^^^^^
I also had no idea.

I'm amazed Carol hadn't asked them to update the answering machine message at some point.

I've read the Wiki on the Darrien Gap a few times and figured that was going to be a part of that episode. Pretty wild that we dug a fucking canal between the two countries but it's still unpassable on car and pretty likely to kill you on foot.

hit its stride by the end of the season for sure

looking fwd to season 2 in three years

I don't know how I feel about it. I was captivated enough, sure, but a tad underwhelmed by it. More of a me problem, having expectations after BCS. I didn't know anything about Pluribus before hand, though.

Not Crap, WF:4.

Loved it. Explicitly featuring the Darién Gap seems like a real clear hint that there is some topical allegory going on.

I really like slow and subtle things, though.
