growing tired of pluribus. vince gilligan shows are good when they’re about mysterious things in process. like watching the setup for a con unfold over weeks without knowing what it’s actually building to. that’s why the first episode of pluribus was pretty good. bunch of saul goodman aliens

Preview of news program with title "who should be fed chair?"

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair
