I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think they are not really doing that? I wanna say it's going to be no hiatus just episodes until the end, but I don't know where I'm getting that from, maybe just wishful thinking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It turns out to be really hard to find future tv schedules online! At least, I can't find it, beyond the episode that is on next week.

Ok, I just read that next week is the mid season finale

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, -t! That makes sense because the week after that is Thanksgiving.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

"We have a group chat now."

Which does lead me to wonder what the rest of the Janets are doing, the ones who were locked out of the Judge's chambers. They're all being so patient in the face of being marbleized that it feels a bit "Look over here, that's right" to me.

(That the Clubs over the doors were a practical effect is a thing of glee.)

And Disco Janet. I want to know all about the circumstances under which Disco Janet was deemed the perfect fit for a situation. But I am okay not getting an answer to that question, because we are blessed to have her.

I have to think about the Janets some more. Our Janet and Manifesto Janet have been rebooted a whole bunch so they're more complex, but presumably most Janets have not. That they were able to choose to oppose the Judge seems like a big deal.

Also, a great mass of Janets is a delight and I want to watch them some more

Maybe it's like a download? Our Janet says "Here is what I have learned after being rebooted 827 times!"; Manifesto Janet (I like that, btw) says "I have also been rebooted 'like 40 billion times'; here is this book written by this dummy and the other dummy, and I would rather cuddle kittens than admit this, but they make a good point *eyeroll*"

All the Other Janets: "Whoa, this is a lot! Let us all talk about it - okay, we are agreed, this is forked up. What are we going to do about it?"

Yeah, that makes sense. They can move the zapper thing between voids, so sharing information seems pretty natural.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yep. The important thing was "We have a group text."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yep. The important thing was "We have a group text."

And, of course, "I mostly send GIFs of otters!"
