S2E42 - A certain amount of root

S4E17: Karma S4E18: Skip

This is not a star trek podcast. Justen forgets our favorite Telepath. A coughing break was edited out for your convenience.

Karma: 2010 Retro Finch, Digital Vigilante--the Harold version of a rampage. Therapist Listening Posture.

S2E43 - That's not how any of this works

S4E19: Search & Destroy S4E20: Terra Incognita

Search & Destroy: Jude and Justen connect over South Bay vibes. This tech ceo is a scarily prescient character sketch. Jude has serious complaints about the realism of the technology... in a show about AGIs. The writer of this episode clearly knows nothing about software development. Hand stuff.

S2E44 - Welcome to the Machine

S4E21: Asylum S4E22: YHWH

Asylum: Pneumatic tubes! Elias is classy during revenge, Martine dies a classless but perfect death. We doubt that Harold doesn't know what a pneumatic tube canister looks like. root's scene on the ledge is inteeeeense. If the bad guys don't have Fusco's kid he's functionally invincible.

S2E45 - A Polyester Bowling Shirt

S5E01: BSOD S5E02: SNAFU

BSOD: Team Machine is on the run, and we've split the party! This is a high stakes, high tension episode. Fusco may have crossed the threshold where knowing about the Machine might finally be safer. Remember PS3 supercomputers? A diversion into linguistics.

SNAFU: We get a Freaky Friday! Somehow it works! We continue to stan Amy Acker.

S2E47 - Waiting Impatiently for the Great Filter

S5E5: Shotseeker S5E6: A More Perfect Union S5E7: QSO

But first some B5 news.

Shotseeker: Yay Elias is not dead! John's love language is avenging your death. The only thing believable about this technology is that NYC would spend a staggering amount of money on it. This episode really doesn't work in the context of its airing time.
