I know deals, I make the best deals. If I were in charge of Mars, we never would have bowed down to the radical communist Russia, believe me.

Would Arnold have made it big in this time-line? Would a space-obsessed US go hard for sword and sorcery?Pinterest Mom posted:"If you switch reference frames you might have better luck inverting the matrices" is the single best piece of throwaway science babble I've ever heard on television. Gj show. Could get rid of some gnarly terms, might make sense. They didn't show what exactly the engineering girl was doing

Every time it switches to the Margo plot my eyes sigh. Watching her lurch around wordlessly is not my favorite. I didn't find a source for her exact age but this article claims she's in "her fifties", I don't know if that merits playing it like she's at death's door. I had quite enough of "old person who is working past their prime" in Secret Invasion this year.

This line is a great hook for an alt-history exploration that this show doesn't seem to care much about anymore. quote:Could get rid of some gnarly terms, might make sense.

I wasn't a fan of her plotline but it they keep cranking up tension, we might get something interesting. This episode was pretty decent on that front imo.

The show: Ed is the worst because he drove Danny to suicide. The audience: Ed is a hero because he got rid of Danny.

Es isn't NASA, he's Helios. Danielle replaced the American commander. Happy Valley has a setup where the commanding officer rotates between NASA and Roscosmos, and the XO is always Helios.

aBagorn posted:do we know for sure that the XO is always Helios (meaning did i miss some dialogue somewhere) or is it just de facto this because it's always been Ed One of the intra-season capsules explains that M-7 have contracted Helios to be the "sole company" running the day-to-day operations in Happy Valley. I don't recall a specific line of dialogue saying "the (specific title of) XO is always Helios", but they're the ones running the place in practical terms, and they presumably make staffing decisions.

Ed is an extra lovely Helios XO when you realise he's one of the people fully on board with most of the Helios plebs being stuck underground with lovely rations while the state sponsored scientists and astronauts are getting the good treatment.

Maybe this is the writers trying to prevent a Walter White situation where people kept thinking Walt was the hero despite being written to do really lovely things. If they keep writing Ed to be really lovely, people will stop thinking he's the big space hero. Otherwise, how can you be so brain dead that you're eating fancy pasta while someone tells you your employees are struggling and can't even talk to their families and you say they need to just suck it up because it's mars, baby.

I’m pretty sure the Helios security officer outfits are kind of a nod to the total recall goons who wore grey jumpsuits with grey helmets

Goddamn, I can't take Ed's old man costume seriously. He looks absolutely ridiculous in it. Dani's actor is so much better at playing an older person. But everyone else's old person direction instructions seem to just be "ok, now move like an old Soviet babushka on ketamine"Sivart13 posted:Every time it switches to the Margo plot my eyes sigh.

The way Margot sounds speaking Russian to me as a non Russian speaker is that it sounds like the actress is just reading the line in the most monotonous way possible. It sounds like the way the teachers talk in Peanuts. Does that sound accurate to Russian speaking people who have to listen to her trying to speak Russian?

She's just making sounds without any idea of what they mean(and consequently not using any intonation). I don't think they have anyone on set who helps with pronunciation or language mistakes.
