This is Sopranos not understanding Nintendo controls levels of petty nerd poo poo but could a DVD just keep playing the same part of Ferris Bueller over and over like that

The same as almost every other thing in this season;

Like when Jodie Foster explains that ham can remain unspoiled for days to show that the other cop is a negligent father who didn't make sandwiches for his kid because he didn't know that.

yes like that lol

I'm hearing the audio to the final episode now as my other half watches it. I'm starting to think that Jodie Foster is not very good at acting. Is it possible a bad script can make a good actor bad?

Partially. She’s also surrounded by amateurs for the most part so she’s giving what she’s getting.

"I did a perfect print job, grown men were coming up to me and saying with tears in their eyes, 'Sir, it was a perfect print job.' What they're trying to do to your favorite printer (ME!) is a disgrace."
Maybe if you know the consistency of mayonnaise when it gets left out for 3 days and the smell of wet clothes rotting in a washing machine it's because you're a lazy slob? I don't know any of those things because I'm an adult who doesn't leave a ham sandwich out for that long, I clean up my messes

"Mmm yes this is the distinct smell of urine in a 2 liter bottle that got knocked over" *everybody stares* "...I know this because I'm a good parent"

Wrath, hate, pain, and death!

they could've done so much with the setting, indigenous stories, or themes but decided to do nothing. Dyatlov pass, inuit mythos, ecological concerns, all ignored for pointless spookies. Powerful storytelling.

Captain Danvers probably has sandwich forensics on her dating profile under hobbies.

Warning possible matches that she knows a lot about people if they order mustard and mayo on their Italian sub.

A lot of the discourse around this season versus the first season reminds me of when MGS2 first came out and people insisted they hated the game because the plot was stupid and bad or whatever and it definitely had nothing to do with the fact that you couldn't play as some alpha dude bro for most the game and instead the main character was some dweeb very obviously making fun of the types of people who desperately wanted to have their alpha dude bro Mary sue be the main character.

Nah, the show is just dumb for making that a possibility at all

The show could easily have maintained a message about how native communities are being destroyed without having the stakes be a successful miracle cure to human disease

okay but if you do that then you can't very vaguely imply that the scientists might've unearthed some lovecraftian horror. you gotta pick your battles dude.
