In the John Cena video he says they can't pick apples off of trees because that "harms the tree", but aren't there literally millions of species of plant that literally evolved tasty fruit to attract animals to eat them to distribute seeds? I'd think the Plurbs would have some botanists and biologists in their collective that know this, and I'd argue if a plant literally evolves a berry that's like "hey eat my berries!" they consenting to have you eat their berries.

Should couldn't they all just eat berry smoothies?

Again I gotta stop watching this as a serious SciFi show.

I've been absolutely loving how polarizing this show is.

Honestly I think it's going to reignite the prestige TV struggle sessions. UlyssesT may make a comeback to make a bunch of condescending posts with way too many emojis.

Jerk aside, I do find the discussion of the show more interesting than the show itself. I think the show itself is kind of mid but it sparks some interesting discussion if nothing else.

I'm licking my pen, ready to sign my UlyT apology form. Who knows, S2 of plurb may not come for a year or so, if at all, by which time I doubt I'll br able to muster the enthusiasm :/

lol funny, all the plurbposting here had me thinking about UT and what he'd say bout it.oddly my gut says like he'd be ambivalent about it so it wouldn't generate one of those really chefs-kiss rants i miss about him

His hate boner for Breaker Bad was too strong, there is no way he could resist the urge to shit on Gilligan's latest creation. The guy's entire lodestar was that overproduced cynical TV was the nexus of all modern society's woes.

For me the thing that annoyed me about him was he never seemed to talk about anything BUT his hot takes on media. Real shit would be happening in the world and yet hours upon hours of his waking life were spent having conniptions about fucking Game of Thrones.

Motherfucker I'll take the world's biggest GoT nerd who does legit activism against the genocide in Palestine over the world's greatest Crusader against media with problematic themes.
