Howard_Casto:
Not sure where this tangent came from. They aren't a biker gang on the show, just a bunch of white trash. Regardless, my point was white supremacists as a villain is very fitting in our times considering their resurgence.

Oh Lordy.
Wasn’t trying to trigger pixel.

Just wanted to point out the white supremacist biker gang thing is boring.
Yes they don’t ride motorcycles but they look the part.
Though you could argue inbred rednecks which has also been done to death.
There are other more relevant groups to make the bad guys.

I’ll give it a few episodes but right now I don’t even care why squids fall from the sky or even intrigued by the weird old dude you uses a typewriter while getting a sponge bath.
Though good for him.
Living the dream I guess.

No politics and religion please. I don't care what side of the fence you're coming down on, it never ends well so please keep it elsewhere.

Some leeway when discussing a fiction show, but diving into real world P&R isn't allowed.

To stave off the rules-lawyering:

- nitrogen_widget's comment that white biker gangs is a boring plot point due to lack of relevance in current society is acceptable, it's a meta comment on the issue, and not a discussion on the merits of white biker gangs in real life.

- Howard's comment that white supremacists is a valid plot point due to current circumstances is acceptable, because whether you believe it's an issue or you don't, as was just proven in this thread, it is a current topic in our society, and so referring to its place in fiction is fine. Howard's comment was essentially a meta comment on the issue.

- Debating whether or not it's a real concern in real life is not acceptable. Take that somewhere else please.

Thanks!

Ok, Jeremy Irons' origin play has turned it around for me.
could of done without the blue cast member but, whatever.

This episode was much better than the first I think.
