That was a really solid episode, with a nice mix of alt-history and cool spacecraft, and only a very light nod to all the family melodrama. Some great shots in there too including the aforementioned final one.

BooDooBoo posted:If we're heading a the Star Trek-ish future, first contact is a long way off in the 2060's and season 3 should be mostly about a take on Khan and the Eugenics wars, maybe that's what the NK stuff is leading to? I’m not sure they mean Star Trek as in aliens (although that would be fine), I think the context was Star Trek as in “optimistic, uplifting view of the future”.

The show depicts, approvingly: - USSR doesn’t fall (immediately, although it still seems a pretty grim place) - No Thatcher (the IRA got lucky once this time) - No HW Bush government - Good stuff and advances coming primarily from government action - Both the USSR and the USA having technical advancements that cover each others’ weak spots, with a strong implication that sharing this knowledge is a Good Thing It’s not a leftist show in the way that, say, Severance is but it’s a pretty solid left-liberal one. Taking an ideological position that no private corporation can ever under any circumstances be shown to succeed at anything would be a lot dumber than the show runners have so far shown themselves to be.

She’s very much in Margo’s image.

That’s a hell of a cliffhanger to end on

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:For those of you missing Gordo this season you really owe it to yourself to catch Patriot if you haven't yet. Imagine a spy thriller except everyone is very open and honest with each other about their thoughts and feelings. “He sings folk songs about his time as an intelligence agent. They’re…getting increasingly honest” Cut to Gordo singing “Last year in Tehran…I killed a guy….”

I enjoyed it. Danny 100% deserves what he gets at the end, gently caress Danny. Ed is absolutely right to call him out on wanting to assuage his guilt by taking a one way trip on the MSAM, go back to Earth and take care of your wife and kid, dipshit. Even if he is largely repeating Ed’s mistakes as a parent.

Well there’s at least one very justified “this show is nuts and is losing its internal logical coherence in favour of uninteresting drama”, with which I agree. I still like it though, nowhere else telling a somewhat optimistic story of how our species goes into space right now.
