  1. This is the first ep where I found the political stuff more interesting than the space stuff. I imagine that Ellen has got to feel like shit for throwing Tyler under the bus after he had the bravery to come out. Also, I'm really surprised that Larry is still fooling around on the side. One, it seems almost impossible that he could get away with it and two, I thought them having a kid together pointed toward them actually developing romantic feelings toward each other.
  2. Fun ep. Weird coincidence that this is the second time in the past week I've heard NWA's "Express Yourself" in a streaming show (FAM and the Boys). Anyway, I think it was a mistake for Karen to quit Helios. Wouldn't she want to keep tabs on what they're doing since the CEO has proven he's both shady and ruthless. Also, in agreement that the psycho Danny plot needs to end. I got a kick out of seeing Danielle and the cosmonaut rush out of the shuttle to be first on Mars.
  3. Wouldn't the ships have to be fairly close so that the cosmonauts could transfer over to Sojourner?

    S01.E01: Pilot

    I think being let down by the mystery is not going to be a problem with this show. It seems to be pretty straight forward for a genre show. They've fallen through a portal in time or perhaps an alternate dimension. In fact, the main character (forgot her name) seems to have figured it out already. I think any let down at this point is if this turns out to be a major swerve away from what's been presented. I think I'm turning into that guy. I seem to always want to correct people when they confuse crocodiles with alligators (or vice-versa). I don't think the hole was that big. Maybe a mile in diameter. That said I can buy that even if there were a McDonald's or two that fell, it wouldn't result in food laying on the ground. I imagine any restaurant would have collapsed in on itself or be buried underneath other buildings. Although, I do agree given the size of the collapse there should be far more rubble surrounding them. Anyway, this show surprised me in how bad it was. Is this what most network tv is like nowadays? The cheap CGI and bad acting had me thinking this show would've fit in on UPN back in the day.
  5. I think there was a nod to Lyra's actress appearing in Logan. It was when her daemon turned into a wolverine.
  6. Yeah but not every Supe is on Vought's payroll so there could be some out there who choose to live a normal life. Although, I can imagine having a power can lead to abusing them but I'm put off by Butcher's blanket judgement that all Supes are evil. One of the things I find fascinating about this episode is that Homelander felt the need to BS the passengers that everything was okay after he botched the rescue. Why do that? He could've just grabbed Maeve and flew away. I wonder if he craves adulation so much that he couldn't stand the thought of letting these people know he failed them.
  7. Honestly, chimps scare me more than any other animal. It's a combination of their near human intelligence, large canines and their shrieking that make them so damn scary.
  8. I think canonically, SSR turned into SHIELD. Did something in this episode contradict that?
  9. Why assume the Invaders existed? Up until the Avengers, the general public of the MCU seemed to have no idea that superhumans existed. Hell, I bet the general public didn't buy that Captain America was superhuman because he was used for propaganda. Yeah, I thought she had a problem with Mack at first but she seemed to scowl at several other white patrons.
  10. I agree with all of this! However I ain't gonna lie, I want someone from the movies or cartoons to make an appearance. I'm thinking Hondo would be a perfect cameo.
  11. Even though I love the series, I can't say I've paid the closest attention to the storylines so take my explanation with a grain of salt. Anyway, here's what I think was the plan. Lord No Nose (sorry, I forget his name) finds a member of the royal family who had been living abroad. He plans to use the exiled royal to challenge the queen's claim if she does not back the Ravens' Society's plans. Kidnapping the Queen was a reactionary response to what he believed was the government's plot to kill him at the summit. It was not meant to be the initial plan. However with the Queen as a hostage, he could use her to make himself Prime Minister and then get rid of her. He'd then have the exiled royal take the throne. I'd appreciate any corrections or a validation of this from someone else.
  12. It makes more sense to kidnap her though. If you use an impersonator, what's to stop the real queen from countermanding the impersonator's orders?
  13. I thought they were satyrs as well and puck might be a derogatory term. So is "pix" short for pixie and is that a derogatory term for fairy?
  14. This ep did show a different side of Maeve, A-Train and the Deep. It makes me wonder if Butcher's hatred of supes is just plain old bigotry rather than the Seven being evil. I kept thinking "please, don't have sex with the dolphin".
  15. Speaking of porn. The Deep reminds me of a pornstar named James Deen. And it's not just looks. Deen has been accused of doing stuff worse than the Deep.
