When Dev was on his firing spree, he let the whole finance department go, something slightly important for a big company. Is he going to drive the company into the ground, forcing Kelly to do what her mom did?

God willing we will not be made to care or even think about Helios' org chart for the rest of the season.

Surely Big Love acting impulsively after being called a fascist and a boring old man won't lead to some kind of space disaster where Kelly is in danger, forcing absolutely stoned out of their gourds Ed and Svetlana to save her. Surely.

Some thoughts & prayers: - Dev's coup mirrors the Soviet one, including Helios' Gorbachev stepping down and not choosing to fight till the end. - Aleida is going to Mars and so is probably Margo. A reunion between them is just too juicy for the writers to pass up and there is no other way to make it happen except on Mars. Chekhov's PTSD is gonna come into play somehow when Aleida sees her again. Margo will advise on the Soviet asteroid capture project. - Dev doing the Ol' Musky maneuver at Helios is gonna bite everyone in the rear end. I think Kelly, Aleida and Margo all made a deal with a devil and are going to regret it. Kelly doesn't have a controlling majority of stocks without Dev. She can't get rid of him. - Helios and the Soviets are each going to go for their own asteroid capture projects and gently caress each other up. The season will end with Martians having developed their own common identity and being tired of fighting Earth's conflicts and having successfully negotiated their independence. They will be in a position to become extremely wealthy and financially independent from earth through the asteroid mining project. - The Martian life that Kelly/Aleida find will cause a revolution in bioscience and some Martian research based on its biochemistry will produce a youth serum. Ed will be healed and makes it to S6 and the movie. Also, why did Bill have such a large share of Helios? IIRC he was just a regular employee? Did I forget something?

in Season 3 I was making predictions while discussing the show with some friends and came up with the absolute stupidest thing I could think of as a joke, and then it turned out there actually was a guy crammed into the North Korean space probe, so I am trying to tap into the oracular powers again and imagine the stupidest thing they could possibly do I am going to predict that Margo ends the season in charge of Roscosmos

Just gonna have to sit through a bunch of Dev to get there, and it might end up feeling a little silly unless they do a better job showing the scale of the exploited labor class first instead of it being these fours guys who bunk together, and the additional five-ish people they see in the bar.

mcmagic posted:Does this show think viewers are actually rooting for the fake Elon? Again the usual caveat about giving these writers any benefit of the doubt, but: It would seem like Kelly is gearing up to pull some kind of Ed here to make her own Mars life hunter-seeker robots with blackjack and hookers and gently caress YOU NASA, and Aleida is aggressively pushing her traumas into the back of her head so it'd make perfect sense that they'd team up with Big Love to create this season's massive space disaster movie story-line. Or Ed's Parkinson's will, or the two will converge somehow, etc., but it'd be super-dramatic either way!

Kelly leaving NASA was weird, her project was delayed because funding for all space projects was in danger of being canceled. Instead of accepting that she decided that potential alien life should be in the hands of a private corporation.

Yeah, but I think Helios was already one of the largest companies on the planet by then, providing fuel for a substantial chunk of humanity's energy needs. How does a flight director with a compensation package in the range of a couple $100k comes to own a significant share of a multi trillion dollar company?

Thoughts - It's a choice to give the coup leader a Ukrainian name if I understand correctly - The black market storyline is better than "HVAC repairman guy starts a union" which we were expecting - What is with the terrible dialogue writing on this show all of a sudden. I hate when people do that thing where a line of dialogue contains a list of things and they deliver it in a staccato, bulleted-subclauses way that no human being does, like: "They said the attack threatens our values. Our freedoms. Our very way of life." People don't do that in actual human speech, they don't talk in punctuated sentences. Also the other rig guy on the way down to the planet last episode was like "I can see Sojourner out there in the distance". WTF, you couldn't think of a better or more realistic way to word that? Even so, the actor couldn't come up with a more natural way to deliver it? - I liked that "the Russian way" is to treat everything as an opportunity for profit and exploitation, and this is the timeline where the USSR never ended. Nothing is free - Whatever writer keeps putting "step foot" into scripts needs to get an egg to the back of the head. Jesus christ - gently caress you show if you are trying to make us treat the analogue of the Twitter takeover as a good thing. Obviously the ominous look that Aleida and Karen share means we're supposed to not like the direction all this is going but I don't quite trust the show to make Dev end the season screaming noiselessly into the void of space Data Graham fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Nov 27, 2023 |

First two seasons were so good. Then 3rd was considerably worse but watchable due to momentum. This season is terrible. The quality of the acting, dialogue, script, storylines, directing, everything is totally on par with soap opera stuff like This is Us or whatever. There are so many interesting ways the show could have gone, so many fascinating intersections of politics and sci fi, could have been something in between our timeline and something 300 yrs in the future like The Expanse, but no, absolute garbage. The budget seems WAY smaller, a lot more tight shots of indoor corridors. Less cgi. Yuck, what an embarrassing piece of art. Also i was kind of able to ignore the stupid masturbatory neoliberal politics of the show because it was interesting, now it's hard to swallow. Even Ed's makeup looks terrible. Boring rear end show

That's really not fair. It's not absolute garbage, it's just somewhat garbage. If you take this show as a reference point for absolute garbage then what does that make something like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo? This show is not as good or bad as Honey Boo Boo
