The moon is going to war

Can someone explain what the significance was of the post credits scene in season 1? What is the significance of doing a partial underwater launch, and what is special about the new rocket?

Shantaram good. Hunnam's accent is dependably wobbly -- I laughed pretty hard when he lied and claimed to be from New Zealand, because my god his vowels wander all over the Tasman -- but he's otherwise pretty great in the role. I like the supporting cast too. Everyone feels colourful and textured, though they've also got some accent stuff going on.

I'm not familiar with the novel, so I can't comment on authenticity, but I generally don't give a monkey's about fidelity criticism anyway. I suspect the novel wasn't so aggressive in hitting the redemption stuff, but the first episode of this -- all I've seen so far-- is straightforwardly structured and paced.

It's gorgeous looking, and not just as is typical for an Apple original, this is a nice looking show. Colour grading is lovely, Bombay looks hot and wet, but also quite lush. And I appreciate that the Australia scenes were actually shot in Australia (which also looks hot but in a different way).

Camera work feels like it might be channeling Scorsese? There's energy to it at least, though it's inconsistently delivered.

Also, has a Farscape actor in it, so automatic 10/10.

(But nah honestly I liked it, but man the voice over is utter poo poo.)

The novel is probably the worst book I have ever read. Self-agrandizing white saviour bullshit.
