    - They do a wonderful job of showing that Logan is like a better version of her dad. - David Feb 4, 13:02 4

        I really think ASP thought Melissa was to busy. -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 13:26 2
        
        If so, you gotta get that answer. - Will Hunting Feb 4, 13:39 1
        
        yep. it sucks they wouldn't at least contact her. -- nm - b. Feb 4, 14:47
      - Could not afford her. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 13:02 1

    - the next disruption is when cars all go driverless - tons of waste eliminated with route planning, more efficient cars, etc. -- nm - colin Feb 4, 14:05 4
      - you too, Uber drivers - mr. plow Feb 4, 14:11 3
        
        Not really - they will either own a driver-less car and rent it out through Uber when they're not using it, or they won't own a car and won't have to - Roger More Feb 4, 14:20

        I don't care how it ends. I want to know why/how it got to that point -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 4, 13:08 2
        
        They are aware of that and they are gradually telling us. It is a form of storytelling that I respect. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 13:12
        
        wanted. I don't care anymore about the show -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 4, 13:09
