And poor Holly. Though, I'm going to convince myself that she survived but with a changed personality, disappeared, took on a new identity and the name of "Charlie".

I'm glad that storyline is over. It was very clever, but I can't say I liked watching Jo and Henry be all evil.
And stupid. The surrounding world and all information about it in the siimulation was under the programmers' control, so why be so obvious and out-of-character in trying to keep the Astraeus crew from doing things they logically would?
Also, why would Jo put on the big seduction act for Carter when they were both supposed to be computer-generated NPCs? Were the glitches and memory problems because Senator Wen's cohorts were running subplots for their own entertainment apart from the stuff that interacted with the real people?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wouldn't put it past them! How could they resist?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

None of the NPCs know who the other NPCs are, just to be on the alert for suspicious behavior. So as soon as Carter started acting differently, NPC!Jo went on the offensive. Presumably if the programmers had been able to watch, they could have stopped her from being SO over the top.

If nothing else, once I watched Senator Kervorkian pull the plug on Holly I'd have made sure nothing extra beyond the planned scenario was running in my area of responsibility!

I'm sad for Fargo. Glad for the rest. Sad there was no actual mission to Titan!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someone posted a gif on Tumblr of the rose and cupcake that Bolin brought Korra, and it got me thinking.
Disclaimer: I am bummed that this series--which is so friggin stellar in most other ways--is so very heteronormative.
Disclaimer having been disclaimed, if they're going to do some sort of romantic arc for Korra, how awesome would it be if the love interest wasn't Mako. I vote "very awesome"
Disclaimer 2: Obviously, the awesomeness would be contingent on how it was handled in the narrative, but they've proven themselves to be pretty solid, narrative-wise, IMO

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
As Jo was walking Fargo out for some privacy, I began to get all weepy.
I love how fast this whole story has played out (I'm not finished watching yet, just taking a break to be verklempt), and while there's still repercussions to be dealt with down the line, I love that they aren't milking storylines. Thank you, Show.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They didn't know who was on the Astreus (sp?) and who wasn't???
But even if Jo suspected Carter, why did she let him leave with Fargo? At least Evil!Henry got that right (or tried to).
