Just got caught up on the back half of season three. Episode four was definitely pretty up there, especially once it got around to the ending, but there was a point where I sat back and made little mouths with my hands and went "exposition exposition". Oh well, still really good.
Five was also pretty good, though the best part of it for me was listening to the way people talked about the roaches, because it hit that right blend of appealing to morality while being utterly disgusting.
Six I was kind of bummed out about, because at the start it seemed like it might be a very low-tech episode, and I kind of prefer those. Not that the more speculative ones haven't also been good, but my favorite out of all of them remains the first season's first episode, and that one takes basically zero bullshit technology. And then a ton of people are just...kinda stupid. Like, okay, the bees are coming after the politician guy. Why can't he just get on a plane and outrun them? Or, even better, go somewhere where the bees aren't. This is just the UK, so why not...fly to France? Or fucking New Zealand if you want to really get away.
And then Twitter (they try not to say it, but they call it "tweets" so it's Twitter) is just fine with letting this continue to happen instead of blocking the hashtag? I know they let shithole nazis post on there but I think if you phoned them up like "this hashtag is literally going to kill people" they would shut that shit (or at least that specific hashtag) down. And how are the bees accessing tweets anyway? Couldn't Twitter block them, or cram garbage data into the system?
Also why did the fucking idiot cop post a tweet to his account with his public identity using information that was only obtained through evidence? Jesus christ dude.
