SpaceChampion Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Season 2 started and I love it. That Molly Cobb though, smexy, brave and with a death wish or something. Anyone else watching this? JGP and Ser Scot A Ellison 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm planning to watch it, so if I like it, I should be caught up in a week or so. Heard about it on the Jessie Gender channel and it sounds intriguing. SpaceChampion, Spockydog and JGP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Watching. Gordo's an affable mess [Dorman's fantastic though, totally down since Patriot] Love Molly and Wayne, particularly Wayne's effect on Karen over time [watching them share a doob on the golf course just made me smile] I'm here for the interpersonal dynamics, but it's a pretty good alt-history show too. No idea where it's going. Edited February 26, 2021 by JEORDHl Spockydog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think Ed is asking for trouble. Spoiler Gordo's still got the moon madness. He's gonna get someone killed. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna get someone killed. Spoiler The potential is there, sure. The pathos of the character and his general decency could see Gordo wash out with a bit of glory too. It'd be cool to see him redirect the narrative he's been living off to Danielle. As an aside, though not entirely unrelated, feels kind of weird Ed entirely skated on his international incident. And Tracy becoming exactly what everyone in the program feared, despite her determination to be an astronaut and how important that was to her, feels out of character. They should fill in the time jump a bit maybe, I don't know. Edited February 27, 2021 by JEORDHl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Pulling the trigger Spoiler Wow, that was pretty horrific seeing the cosmonaut burn up like that in the previous episode, and his charred remains in this one. I don't know how likely this is, but seems plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 This show is so good, I can't believe the lack of buzz around it. And, holy moly, the ending of the latest episode. Shit just got real. SpaceChampion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) The finale was freakin' amazing. The writing in this show is so good. Just like in Season 1, a bunch of episodes full of deep, unhurried character development paid off immensely towards the climax as people we cared about were put into increasingly perilous situations. I cried ugly for Spoiler Gordo and Tracey. Absolutely badass. Edited April 25, 2021 by Spockydog SpaceChampion and JGP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindwalker Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) I finished season 1 yesterday. After initial problems with the culture of the times - the cold war rhetorics still bother me from time to time - I enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that unless they are in real peril, I feel slighly detached of the characters, even though most of them are likeable or relatable. (My favorites being Molly rough-around-the-edges Moly and her laid-back husband.) Something about the narrative keeping me at arm's length. Still, very well done. Love what they do with contemporary pop music. Off to the eighties tonight! Btw., will there be a season 3?

Mindwalker Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Good to know. Oh Molly, this isn't going to end well. The intro reminds me of that of Star Trek Picard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Episode 4, and I'm activel... strongly disliking Ed by now. He's selfish and irresponsible, particularly with Gordo. The car scene was funny, though. What did Spoiler Clayton die from? At first I got the impression it was a long disease, but then his sister said he'd "killed himself". Is it just me or Spoiler are they setting up something between Karen and Danny? Ugh. Edited April 30, 2021 by Mindwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Northman Reborn Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well this show was the best thing I’ve seen in years. Until they went and destroyed it with Game of Thrones level messed up depravity. Talk about character assassination. Damn. No coming back from this for Karen. And if Ed ever takes her back he loses any self respect she left him after this humiliating betrayal. Ludicrous writing. Bold and Beautiful level shit. I reckon I’m done.

Teng Ai Hui Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) About two weeks ago, I binge-watched S1 and loved it. But, when I jumped into S2, it was difficult to adjust to the time jump. Then, some of the writing choices made me put it aside for a while (the large listening device that sat on top of a light fixture for 9 years, the over-the-top melodrama that ensued after Kelly told Ed that she wanted to go to Annapolis). This weekend I decided to just watch it to the end, and I'm glad that I did. In the last 3 episodes, almost every scene delivered a large emotional impact. Yes, the viewers had to sit through a couple ridiculous scenes and the big problems on the moon were resolved a little too quickly and neatly. But, wow, what a ride. For me, it's the best of 2021 so far. I can't wait to see what happens on Mars in S3. Edited June 12, 2021 by Teng Ai Modric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
