This "things not being real" has the added benefit of being able to explain away huge plot holes. For example, wasn't it the DoD who put the Andys in charge? Why would they allow Fargo and his Insurrectionists (good name for a band!) to take over? Oh, wait! It's not real! See how convenient that is?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

DoD probably not that big on allowing AIs to stay in control by brainwashing people either. I'm sure at least a few people in the Pentagon still live in the 1950s when the threat of robot takeovers were a known risk.

I saw Zane lying on the couch next to Allison, so I think it's clear they have the whole Atreus crew.
It's basically the Matrix, I guess.
... I admit I kind of bought the Jack/Jo relationship, and I loved Jo saying, "I fell in love: I didn't do anything wrong." It was, however painful, all very grownup.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yes, indeed.
The question remains is do they have the rest of the principle cast in their shared reality?

He totally was. I wonder how much more one gets paid for an episode in which one plays a series of clones?

Caught up on "Being Human". I like the new ghost - Hal, Tom and whatshername make a good team. And I like the new villains. Bureaucrats acting for our own good, somewhere between Le Carre and Yes Minister. So though I agree with ita ! in not loving the whole time twisting plot, I think the next season (if there is one) is promising. Also, even though I was not fond of the overall plot, there were tons of good bits. "Hal is not a living being".
Also, at the end, was the man in gray just Mwah hahing before making the girl vanish in a puff of smoke? Or was he just making sure she understood all the way to her toes that she had to keep quiet. If the former, then he is less interesting, being unnecessarily sadistic by tormenting his victim mentally before killing or imprisoning her. If the latter then he is a more interesting villain - not crazy, sincerely convinced he is doing what needs to be done, doing it as humanely as possible, but still doing wrong.
