Finished up the season, and drat. That was really bleak and good. Knowing that the set had burnt down, you can really spot it in the final 2 episodes as they wander through bits of bare studio, and what looks like parts of a cross-Channel ferry (those metal corridors with the low ceilings scream maritime to me). So how quickly does the little shuttle get there? It seemed to take, like, a day? Could they not just do that a few more times? The music was really good, and invoked a terrible sense of dread. Incorporating the ship’s alarm sound directly into the soundtrack (or vice versa?) worked so well, and I loved the final episode’s end titles music.

My guess is we’ll see other human space stuff out there from next season onwards. The indications are there that there’s more humanity out in the solar system (Spike was the 30th person on Mars and that was clearly some time ago, the ship is an old freighter [travelling from earth to where?], the moon is a prison, etc. The background we get is that humanity is now heavily in space, but they’re conspicuously absent in the show. Possibly now that Ave5 is wildly off course, they’ll start running into other areas.

Arglebargle III posted:I think they were going from Earth to Earth with at least one gravity assist at Saturn. No, I’m talking about the original ship the Ave5 is built on top of. The Chinese freighter. Where was that travelling to that you needed a ship that size?

I honestly wouldn’t doubt there being a Jupiter Mining Corporation reference in there somewhere next season.

Arglebargle III posted:It's counterintuitive, but when they're way out by the gas giants would be the best time to adjust their course for a close encounter with the sun. Then at the sun they would be able to adjust their course for Earth more easily than on their current orbit. This general approach is called a bi-elliptical transfer and it can be faster for long trips. The orbital mechanics of it make sense. It’s how the Hermes goes back to get Watney, isn’t it?

Every time I think back on this show, it’s with an air of depression. There’s definitely this air of “oh my gOD THESE loving IDIOTS” since Covid and Brexit and god, just everything.

I like that the siren has returned to the score.

The science does bother me a little, like the 1 passenger shuttle taxi can get from Earth to Ave5 in seemingly a few hours, no matter where it is in the solar system, but this missile is taking quite some time to get there.

It’s essentially Red Dwarf with more people.

They never rebuilt the big atrium set.

Good season, but that last ep felt very weak.

Yeah, it wasn’t a finale, just an episode wrapping up that small arc.
