@akritenbrink It's a reference from Game of Thrones. To explain it without spoilers, there is a classic scene where a certain character says (amongst other things) "this pie is dry". I think from this episode on, A.ron started to use this expression to define emails / feedback that touch on things already talked about during the cast between him and Jim.
By the way this question reinforces the idea that there should be a Bald Move wiki or lore somewhere on this website. We started with the Bald Move dictionary and Bald Move rules threads, but there are so many references it's hard to get all of them.

Isn't it the opposite? It's when they discuss things early that had been earmarked for the feedback/mailbag. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Also, as a side note, maybe it's best not to discuss what happens in episode 2 (not the post/person I am quoting) in this thread. Things can get off the rails quickly and I'd hate to have something spoiled if someone was trying to stay "clean".
@KingKobra maybe it's both, same principle anyway. I just have memories that they employ the expression while reading the feedback, and realizing they talked about it already in their discussion.
@DaveyMac Agreed on the credit sequence. I have the feeling it will grow on me over time with the accumulated knowledge of what happens in the series. It also has a very ominous piano sequence in the middle.
It looks like everybody agrees on that actress' performance; is that because she was the less convincing of all the cast, or is there something more to it? I.e. she is an advanced robot, or puts up a facade on because she plays a different game, etc.
What I have read from "official" sources is that there are hosts, with the exception of the flies.
One cannot then make assumption about what they actually are, except for the proposition that they are not 'livestock' and therefore not hosts. ('Livestock' as defined in the WW lexicon.)
I have not seen a truthful proposition as to what they are, exactly.
(In Ep2, the "surgeons", who have found MRSA in the abdomen of Maeve, made the comment about cleanliness and said "No wonder we have a problem with flies.")
What an interesting coincidence that the lead milk bandit is played by Steven Ogg of GTA fame. Jim made the connection of the show being like GTA. And I just watched last season of Walking Dead on Netflix in preparation for the forthcoming season 7 premiere and listened to Watching Dead coverage of season six finale where Steven Ogg played a key villain "Savior" role whose mantra was "be real nice to the people with you because it might be their last day on earth." How meta.
