Herb’s diagnosis [spoiler]
I’m dubious about the decision to depict bipolar disorder on the podcast. Herb’s main symptoms seem to be that he’s disoriented and mistakes his memories of movies for real life, so wouldn’t Alzheimer’s or Dementia be a much more logical choice?
I do love the idea of him and his grandson being stranded in space without their meds. There is the potential for some super interesting drama there, but overall I’m apprehensive. It’s very easy to imagine how a writer might handle this poorly
That being said… I’m mostly just happy to have new dungeons and daddies in my podcast feed
