Well that was a hell of an episode. I did have to pause it at "Ok, the algorithm works like this." The implications were beyond horrifying. If next week isn't the finale I cannot even imagine where we go from here. Judd during the end sequence was amazing. He looked so happy.

So is the missile now going to go between the halves and zoom off into deep space?

Cojawfee posted:So is the missile now going to go between the halves and zoom off into deep space? Plus, spoiler for the next episode title: That's why they call it a missile. I guess my more complicated guess to the next episode's plot is that the engineers in the back half have to get the dopes in the front half to burn enough fuel with their engines (it is 2 ships sewn together after all) to make the mass actually equal. They accomplish it in time then some other disaster happens for the next season. That was yet another decent episode. Iris smiling for multiple cameras was the best bit. The system beeping good and bad when Doug says he's a father was next best. I have multiple nitpicky problems with it but am doing better about letting them slide. I kinda miss the old comedian.

How much are you ready to bet that if they somehow manage to reassemble the ship they somehow manage to do it backward?

I also liked the surprise that it didn't seperate right down the middle and instead took some cabins with it. As far as I'm aware the woman that gave birth was going into a bathroom with no exit right? If so an extra lol and I can't wait to see what happens with that.

My prediction, based on the idea that a season 3 will happen, is that the missile goes between, hits the lithium asteroid, and turns it into small rubble which then orbits the ship with the poop. That makes the ship suddenly immensely valuable and resumes the rescue mission.

The cancellation rumors were created by the fact that the actors were released from contract. However, they had to do that due to the pandemic delays. If HBO decides to order more, then I'm sure a new contract could be put in place if the actors were available.

If they get a third season they should take another marked step in softening up the sci-fi and do a Space Fantasy season with green skinned aliens and spacewalks where you just have to put a diving bell on

DaveKap posted:I'm sorry to say that the poop and dead bodies orbiting around the ship were all left behind when they did the maneuver at the end of Season 1. That's why you haven't seen them in Season 2. It's definitely not because continuity doesn't really mean anything on this show. Nope. Tiresome. I will say that I kinda miss terrible comedian guy.

Moetly good finale, though I'm more interested in the set up for next season than anything else. My friend pointed this out during the finale, but the season seemed to be unable to maintain a single plotline for more than an episode and a half at a time, and it might have been better to develop some ideas in a more prolonged way. That said, I'd rather have too many ideas than too few. Small White Dragon posted:I thought one of the interviews said we'd see a map of the US (or what's left of it), did that ever happen? I don't know about a map, but we see it from space at the end of episode six.

Kinda bummed they did not manage to match or even come close to the horror/hilarity of the airlock scene in season 2, easily one of the top ten TV moments of all time for me. And now we wait.

Aside from the few and very quick external shots this episode felt extremely cheap. Like they have no money so every shot is zoomed in and there’s only actually 8 people on set at any given time. Have they confirmed there’s another season? At this point they have fake leverage for a rescue so it’s sort of at an endpoint anyway.

While not on the same level, I personally found Ryan getting elected and the reveal of TV Ryan hit a lot of the same vibes. Just the idea of a whole bunch of people coming together to make the dumbest possible decision.

It was the ship seperating for me. Just the qtupidity of Judd, that no one asked how it will split apart, and the general intensity. Its not at the same level but it was close for me.

All in all I think this season was a big improvement. The space prison episode for example was great. Its not as sharp as Veep and the Death of Stalin though, which I think is because unlike those Avenue 5 actually has some characters that's trying to do some good. Also, the lithium crisis is very real. There's not that much lithium left.

Doktor Avalanche posted:everybody talks about the airlock scene because it's a microcosm of today's society or whatever, but my fave scene from season 1 is karen loving up with the luggage discharge It's a great scene, and I would argue that it works just as well as a reflection of our current issues: Karen, a civilian, fucks up due to personal ignorance and narcissism, and takes on all the blame for what happens. In reality, it's the much larger system (corporate corruption, lack of leadership, etc.) that made her gently caress up even possible in the first place. It reminds me of the current media environment that suggests to the public that we could solve climate change if you all just stopped using plastic bags at the grocery store..

Finished up the series(?) finale and thought season 2 was averagely enjoyable. The performances were great but the writing felt weak in the majority of the episodes, which is surprising given the fact that they had an 18+ month delay due to covid. You'd think they could have used that time to tighten up the scripts. Maybe we'll get a third season?

The Elena b-plot threaded throughout the season did not payoff in a meaningful way in this finale. It might have led to some novel situations throughout, but it was a complete anti-climax. Nobody watching cared if the throuple got properly married.

I liked the thruple plotline because I imagine that is exactly how Ryan got into his first marriage. Always the third wheel in a three-way marriage... I can also see this one ending the same way: too bad the partner that actually seems to care about him is the one he doesn't want to be around.  I'm sad the season is over: I got Rome'd again. I really thought there was one more episode after this.

The structure of the show is very solid. Watching different leaders come and go, exploring why dictators come to power in the first place worked well season 2. A season 3 with waring ship negotiations has a ton of potential. I hope this gets renewed.

It bugged the poo poo out of me that Matt spent the first 6 episodes fomenting a rebellion, things are finally coming to a head, he gets shot with a crossbow, episode ends on Iris' secret police rounding up the usual panickers. Then Matt is just instantly back into the inner circle at the start of the next episode helping sort out how to deal with the missile. gently caress that I wanted to see Matt's mutiny! Felt like every episode this season was written by someone who had a good idea of who the characters are, but they had only read a vague description of what happened in the previous episode. Despite that this show is still great and deserves more seasons for sure.
