Trivia
You can indeed call Murray Bauman's (Brett Gelman) revealed phone number (618-625-8313). It's a real number that leads to a very real fake answering machine message, where the character yells at you for calling.

Goofs
When the Mind Flayer's ooze descended into the sewers, a large bone was too large to fit through the sewer grate. However, just prior when the ooze flowed through the hospital door's lower vent & under the door, the same bone wouldn't have fit through those narrow gaps either.

Quotes
Dustin Henderson: Holy shit - you're a nerd!
Erica Sinclair: Come again?
Dustin Henderson: You... are... a... nerd!
Erica Sinclair: Okay, you better take that back, nerd!
Dustin Henderson: Can't put the truth back in the box.
Erica Sinclair: But it's not the truth.
Dustin Henderson: Let's examine the facts, shall we? Fact one: you're a math whiz, apparently...
Erica Sinclair: That was a pretty straightforward equation.
Dustin Henderson: Fact two: you're a political junkie...
Erica Sinclair: Just because I don't agree with communism as an ideology...
Dustin Henderson: [holding up her backpack] Fact number three: you LOVE 'My Little Pony.'
Erica Sinclair: And what does 'My Little Pony' have to do with this?
Dustin Henderson: Let's recall the ponies' latest adventure, shall we? The evil centaur team and Tyrek turns Applejack into a dragon at Midnight Castle, and Megan and the other ponies have to use Moochik's magic to defeat his rainbow of darkness, saving them from a lifetime of enslavement. All the pink in the world can't disguise the irrefutable fact that centaurs and castles and dragons and magic are all standard nerd tropes. Ergo, 'My Little Pony' is nerdy, ergo, you, Erica, are a nerd.
Erica Sinclair: And how do YOU know so much about 'My Little Pony?'
Dustin Henderson: Because, I'm a nerd.
[finishes shutting off the fan]
Dustin Henderson: Let's go... Nerd.

I haven't rolled my eyes this much in a long time

A very brilliantly written and directed show is sliding into stupidity and cliche right before our eyes. I really don't get this unsubstantiated appreciation of season 3 because of a general ST fandom. I love this show too, at least I did until season 3 began but, let's be honest, it just became impossible to ignore all this illogical stuff happening. Most people here mentioned them, so there is no need to repeat. After watching episode 4, I felt like the show is coming back again but, no, these last two episodes took away that charm again. I don't know how the season ends yet but, I hope I will have some better things to say.

And seriously, what is that Russian terminator nonsense? Or in general, - and I keep saying this since the very first episode of the season - what is all that nonsense about Russians?
