Lost in Space: Eulogy (2018)
I'm enjoying this show so far...
...but in this episode, I just want to know what Naoko said to Dom! Anyone out there who can translate the Japanese? "Naoko: {SPEAKS IN JAPANESE}" is such a bogus caption. We've seen her speaking English; obviously she's trash-talking Dom somehow.
The X Files: Born Again (1994)
Annoying oversight *MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
Overall, this episode was so-so. Not my least favorite, but not stellar enough for me to remember it over 10 years later.
There was one thing that, as a person with a degree in psychology, really annoys me when I hear it. During the interview with Michelle's psychiatrist, a condition is described in which one's emotions are so profound that the psyche creates other personalities in order to contain them. Mulder then asked, "Oh, like schizophrenia?" No, Mulder. Schizophrenia is when a person's SENSES report things that are not there, like phantom smells or sounds or, in extreme cases like in A Beautiful Mind, whole people. He has an advanced psychology degree; he should have known this.
The condition described in that meeting is extremely rare, very difficult to verify, and is called multiple personality disorder. Geez, even the writers of The Exorcist (which came out what, 20 years before this episode?) knew the difference between the two disorders. Sloppy pop psychology on the writers' part, here.
