I loved Carter's "I don't think that we have the same goal"
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

I am exceedingly annoyed with this idea that any human being would be able to fight the impulse to breathe in liquid. For Stark to stand there and say "just breathe in the liquid" is stupid and pretentious.
awwww! How sweet is Carter and the toe shoes!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Yeah, there were a couple Carter as hero moments. Breathing in the liquid (not gonna happen) and the present at the end. Awwww.
I kinda love that it was Jo and not Fargo dreaming. Another sweet moment.

But that's the part of Stark's character that I love.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You'd have to breathe it in, if you were in it long enough. That's what drowning is - the need to breathe overcomes the knowledge that there's no air out there.
(Spoken as a person with a damn good reason for her fear of deep water.)
Maybe Stark just wanted him to relax. And possibly just get on with it.
Anybody else notice Stark tempting Allison to evil there at the end? "Now we don't have to stop."

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I should have clarified. Calmly breathing in the liquid wasn't going to happen. I was taking for granted the breathing in at the drowning stage.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm not allowed to nitpick the science, right?
This episode, I just let the science flow past me. I'm still not sure what was causing the rising levels of the blahblahsticene (the chemical that was paralyzing and killing people).
But I didn't care because I thought the characterization this ep was spot on. So much better than last week's!

Wait, I missed that. The Zorro dream was Jo's? I guess it had to be since she was weakened and Fargo wasn't, right (and the pay scale thing)?
TOTALLY didn't pick up on that.
I could so be a Jo/Fargo shipper, but, then, she really does plug into a huge attraction type of mine, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Nah, Austin, I was agreeing with you. I just forgot to, you know, say that.

TOTALLY didn't pick up on that.
There was an exchange with Fargo, Jo & Stark that made it pretty clear, ending with Jo being very embarrassed. Totally worth a rewatch, Frank.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Dr. Suenos. Heh.
OK, the whole point where people were having conflict because of shared dreams didn't make a lick of sense (even handwaving that they all immediately knew what happened). But my irritation with that dissipated with the goofy Zorro sequence-- that's the right level of lunacy, much more inspired than the Richard Simmons stuff.
