Evil: How to Build a ChatBot
July 20, 2024 5:23 PM - Season 4, Episode 9 - Subscribe

A priest, a skeptic, and a psychiatrist (who is also a skeptic) walk into an utterly bonkers TV show. And this TV show asks: What do the words Jesus, pillow, and Michael Bay have in common?

*The Holy Three (thank you, Shepherd) find themselves assessing a grief chatbot--which to me personally, sounds HORRIBLE--that has been going demonic with the usual Latin word salad and apparently the words "Jesus," "pillow," and "Michael Bay" in an alarming amount.

*Okay, the Father Ignatius/Monsignor Korecki unrequited love just makes me so sad. You could have had so many romantic autumn lunches!!!

*Sheryl's gambit is temporarily successful..until it isn't. The Manager is dead, Leland's come out on top (also, harsh assessment of Kristen as the Whore of Babylon, but when you put it all together...), and I hope she bought a whole bunch of those knifeproof dresses, is all I'm sayng.

*The Holy Three use the griefbot as part of their assessment to varying results. Speaking of which ---

*Shoutout to Katja Herbers' playing the absolute cringiest most embarrassing moment of those filthy Hot Priest chats to a tee. I honestly legit felt the character wanting to the earth to open up and swallow her.

*Karima's back! I love Karima!

*Y'all, my precious smol bean Ben Shakir is Going Through It so hard this episode; my boy is wearing a tinfoil beanie and sleeping like a burrito on a 7-11 griddle. He's wearing a fedora. A FEDORA, that's how dire this is. I don't know where this storyline is going but Ben must be protected at all costs.

*Uh, raise your hand if you kind of forgot about the mysterious and dead Julia? That whole thing legit creeped me out and made me sad for David.

*Firing your ethics department would be hilarious if it weren't so possible.

And Sheryl goes right back to pissing me off. Leland isn't the specific problem Sheryl. YOU WORK FOR EVIL. Getting equality in the evil hierarchy....missing the forest for the trees. (massages temples)

Yeah, Sheryl can stage a coup all she wants but at the end of the day, it's a male-led hierarchy not too dissimilar from the male-led hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

dun dun DUN

It's not even about it being a male based hierarchy. It's that it's EVIL. Even if she achieves equality there, she's still contributing to the organization that's goal is to enthrone the antichrist, which endangers both her daughter and Lexis (not to mention you know everyone on the planet). Like she had a moment where I thought she was rounding the corner, but she's still too fixated on specifics (like thwarting Leland and breaking the glass ceiling) and somehow continuing to miss the big picture here.

God bless Karima for getting spicy autocomplete out there to the legions, LEGIONS of Evil viewers.
