  There’s no edge here, man. It’s mainstream now. This guy is turning into a bona fide folk hero.

  I honestly hope he’s never caught, but that’s not very realistic. The only real bright side to his inevitable capture is that we’ll know what name and face to put on the statues.

  Some will bring up the “slippery slope” as a reason for us to treat this guy within the legal system as we would any other killer. I would respond to this people that we’re already barrelling headlong down a greasy slope and have been for a long time now.

  Far from endangering is further, this guy has shown us an offramp.

  That would seem to be a pretty big leap out of character for Mariner. She only acts like she doesn’t have boundaries, but she actually sets pretty rigid limits on where she’s willing to go with people she considers close friends.

  I have this headcanon now that Boimler met his purple universe self once, and that’s why he started dying his hair.

  Wait a minute now, is he actively dying his beard as it grows in? That’s pretty weird, isn’t it? Did he lie in his own personal log about dying his hair, or does the hair dying occur at a follicular level?

  Reading these posts of yours is my favorite thing to do immediately after every new episode. Entertaining and informative as always!

  I was surprised that there was no reference to Boimler’s hair color in this episode. It has been such a non-issue that I almost wonder if there’s something in the show bible about conspicuously never mentioning it, beyond a single throwaway admission in Boimler’s personal log about dying it (LD s3e01).

  It could have been fun if there was some weird connection to the purple dimension, especially with how his facial hair has been a running subplot this season.

  There’s a trope out there that Gen Z has to do everythingbfor themselves because the older generations have failed them so thoroughly.
