As long as Tex gets to throw Liz Röhm into a volcano at some point during the season finale, everything should be cool. But I feel like she's going to have some sort of convoluted escape and persist into next year.

The missiles are part of a weapon system called Liberty-killer, they can stay in the air for hours at a time thanks to their anti-freedomium reactors.

But 'Murica Actual has too much swagger to be stopped by that kind of weak-rear end poo poo.

Tony Stark has been put to shame. Delilah is a great name too. For a deadly missile I mean.

I like that the regional leaders are just slap fighting with each other.

"We have started a coup, and formed the libertarian ideal dictatorship"
"Yeah well gently caress you, stop mining someone elses territory"
"Oh yeah? How about I don't send workers?"
"Do you want oil? Because I'll loving cut everyone off."
"Where are my workers? I swear nobody in the entire country will get power"

I feel like they could have gone with making Chandler seem wrong and have people be okay with the regional leaders and actually have them accomplishing their goals of local governance and making things better, but nope, cartoonishly evil/stupid libertarians are slitting peoples throats. And it's great.

I'd be down with a plotline where the virus was an alien weapon meant to clear us off the planet so they could move in, but those drat aliens didn't count on HONOR and THE NAVY.

quote:

The Last Starship From Earth is a dystopian novel set in 1968 and 1969, but not the 1968 and 1969 that I remember, or lived through. In the world of this story, Jesus did not die on the cross, but was killed leading an assault on Rome. He was the Messiah that people expected. The government of John Boyd’s world is a global government run by Christians along “scientific” lines, where psychologists and sociologists in conjunction with the Church and an AI Pope rule the world. People marry and mate because of their genes, sort of like the film Gattaca, and the hero of our story is Haldane IV, M-5, 138270, 3/10/46, a math student of great promise, being the fourth in line of great mathematicians. Unfortunately Haldane gets the hots for Helix, a mere poet. By law and social custom Haldane is expected to have nothing to do with her, but as you’d expect he falls in love with her.


This sounds like a helluva concept for Netflix to take up for a new sci-fi show. AI loving popes man, too loving cool.

Little Miss Tex will have Ghost Dad to guide her quest to protect America from splittists and traitors. :patriot:

This episode ship action looked really good which is not surprising as it was directed by Peter Weller. When Robocop says the CGI needs to look good you go the extra mile.
