I'm still enthusiastic about this show's maximalist "throw everything at the wall and see what's interesting" approach to plot development, but giving David psychic powers feels like maybe a loose thread too far to me, like are you really... [more]

Seriously, why go through all of this kludgy stuff? Just use DuckDuckGo, it works just as well or better for 95% of your web searches and it's set up so you can add !g to the end of your query and it redirects you to Google with the same query.... [more]
