fuzzybluemonkeysStarted with Uncle Simon, which I've seen, but there were other episodes I definitely hadn't seen before, and others where I think I saw them? But feel weirdly unsure about it, so maybe I only saw them once a long time ago or something.
I noticed a trend with Uncle Simon and A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain where I didn't entirely get why the woman was stuck at the end. Like I know societal expectations/opportunities were different back then, and in Uncle Simon it was an abusive relationship, so those can be hard to leave (plus she kind of accidentally on purpose killed him not knowing he had uploaded his abusive personality into a robot, so there might be some guilt there). But then in A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain, they set the woman up as the abuser, so why would she stick around to raise her now be-toddlered husband? The brother-in-law repeatedly throws the fact that she was in a chorus line around like it's an insult, but that requires dancing skills, so she's not without resources if she doesn't want to be a mother (which she clearly didn't). Plus bro-in-law spent the entire episode railing against how selfish and terrible she is, like why would you now want to inflict her on a child?
Today's episodes also included You Drive aka The Tell-Tale Car that [literally and punnily] drives you to confess.
