Finally watched.

Had to chuckle at Mitsuki’s Molotov buildout. After three direct hits, I instinctually was looking around for alcohol and cloth, wondering when she’d find time to craft more.

I know we’re supposed to dislike the tech billionaire guy for story reasons, but this show’s writing is so touch-and-go that I hate him for just being unbelievable as a human—even a sociopathic, narcissistic one.

Luke (the son) is such a little shit, which—having raised a moody teenager—is actually the most realistic character in this show. But it’s still uncomfortable because we don’t like our movie/tv teens to be quite as fucking annoying as in real life. Such a conundrum. Hopefully his psychic connection will make him more likable in the episodes to come.

So, the metal shard is a compass, right? After four months, how are people still in the dark regarding that alloy and its effect on the weird rot/terraform stuff and the obvious use as a weapon against the aliens? Did I miss something?

Damn, David Bowie’s estate is making money off this show. We got another playback of Space Oddity (after hearing it in S01E09 I think), and they threw Moonage Daydream into the end credits.
