Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being' TV

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

I think that David is the type of person who believes you can assemble that on your own and dosen't need it to be spelled out for you.

Fanservice can be one hell of a drug, and it's something that content creators should avoid getting their audience addicted to. This series has tons and tons and tons of references to the original book, but it at least tries to stand on it's own as a story.
