The first 2-3 seasons are great. And that's because it's excellent characters in an unusual situation with just a splash of mystery/paranormal. The end of the show sucks, because they wrote it like they knew where it was leading, but they didn't. The big reveals are very unsatisfying. Would have been better if they just ended it with no answers and let it develop organically instead of shoe-horning a "this is what it was all leading to" ending into it.

Just rewatch the last season. That'll cure you.

I feel compelled to point out that "back door man" was already a common expression in blues lyrics.

"I am gonna get you so many lizards!" Whenever my wife has already done a chore/task I was intending to do.

This isn't the most substantive of your comments in this chain, but I think it deserves some attention. It's perfectly worded and it's a concept more people need to embrace: you don't have to speak in absolutes and it's okay to express the limits of your knowledge.

Plus, it's a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.

What if some moistened bing lobbed a scimitar at me?

Yeah that's how I feel about ads targeting children (even when the products are intended for children): they are not yet equipped to look at the ads critically and recognize when they're being manipulated.

Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn't hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.

You must mean plane-et.

Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven't gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it's tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it's bad at math. I really don't understand enough to wrap my head around why we can't seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.
