I mean, with Pluribus too, it's just such a different show with how much of a slow burn.

I think it is really perfectly suited because that's just the question that it's addressing the whole time.

And I think that the difference here is just there are a lot of things that are happening at once.

And we do see this kind of, this question of over free will and if humanity can be trusted with itself across the whole series.

I mean, that's kind of just the whole point of Pluribus

them just trying to be like, war never changes.

Like if humans are always just going to come back to the same thing.

I will say with this episode, seeing it like visualized like this and having that be really top of mind, it did make me a little bit nervous.

And I don't know, maybe it's just like being a little bit triggered from like Westworld and the way that Westworld ended up having this.

Lisa Joy was the one that directed this one so I think that like Westworld was still a little bit top of mind too because that was just that became to be a lot over time but the whole matter of free will so I hope it's not like too much of where this is going with the whole automated man thing but it does feel like it

I think as you were saying, too, I mean, I think just leaning into the comedy a bit like helps, too, because it is it is so over the top, like having this moment where John Kreese's head is being stapled in with by a guy that's wearing this like ridiculous Caesar costume.

Like, yeah, it's all very over the top in that sense.

So you get this in a very quick and very fallout way.

So it does it does work to me overall.

I really like this scene a lot.

You know, this fallout is so much about just these different duos.

And there's always some pairing.

This was one that I really enjoyed from season one.

So it's fun to see them back in this very different situation where, I mean, Thaddeus is cool now.

Yeah.
