      It’s weird – I think the McD’s theme in the last episode was right at the edge of being without taste. This show owes so much to its set/prop/costume design staff that it’s OK to show off how much their work was inspired by the aesthetics of those early-80’s McDonnalds restaurants. For an old like me, seeing those overhead menu boards again genuinely felt like a treat. Bloviating about how good the apple pies are was really pushing it, though.

        I feel like that was the joke though. Before 92, the apple pies were deep fried, and they were waaaay better than the version they serve nowadays. Since they’re in the deep fried era, I kinda took it as a dig at current mcd’s.

      I took this as commentary not advertising.

      I thought Mobius’ enthusiasm for the hot apple pies was consistent with his adoring better-living-through-chemistry lime pie or machine made hot chocolate in the TVA.

      He’s been stuck in the limited palate options of the TVA, his memory of a richer, real-life stripped from him. Of course 80s McDonald’s is a taste sensation.
