A place to squee, flail, post thinky thoughts, and otherwise generally react to tonight's episode. I'll be watching it on Netflix here tomorrow, but in the meantime, have at it!

Yeah, this show continues to be pretty heteronormative except around the margins, unfortunately. I'm not totally clear on how Derek has anything to contribute to Janet's people-making at all. But maybe there's going to be a storyline involving all of Janet's creations, and whatever moral status they possess? Comparing and contrasting ordinary humans with blank slates, perhaps?

Although I'm still not sure where Derek -- who was created as a rebound fling, had most of his brain yanked out when Janet got sick of him, was given to Mindy as a sex toy, and has since been rebooted thousands of times -- would factor into that. He's... a pretty weird piece to have on the board.

The moral status of Janet's creations is a really good question! I do hope they get there.

Derek's his only broad narrative purpose so far seems to be "making Jason jealous," which, ehhh. But it's coming with a lot of funny moments, so that's nice.
