no one is good at small talk everyone lets only do big talk from now on

ask people what their favorite dinosaurs are
do they believe artificial intelligence could ever replace humanity
if they were a tree, what kind of tree would they be

If NBC actually publicized John Cho being a main character on Go On they could have salvaged its ratings.

Hella disappointed. Moments where I should have, and ordinarily would have, been emotionally involved and compromised I wasn’t because even though the scenes themselves were arguably very good (“I’m scared.”) are fucked over by the larger context of messy story telling.
