  1. BANG ON, exactly what i thought - “that smile is straight Twin Peaks!”
  2. Amen!!! If you want to reward the kids, how about a good old fashioned game of War? Agreeing to hide and seek in the dark right before bed time seems like a super boneheaded choice - and if Flora’s so worried about being in bed before the witching hour, i’m not sure why she suggested it.
  3. Me too - re: dust in the eyes. Lead boy’s song for his mom really got me!
  4. I don’t think it should disqualify them, I just think if I was picking people for a three year mission to a distant planet and I had two equally competent candidates - one with young kids, and one without, I’d pick the one without. I don’t have kids so maybe I overestimate the number of young fit women without them, but it seems like there’d be a few who managed to not accidentally get pregnant during astronaut training.
  5. I couldn’t help but wonder why people with young kids would be selected. I’m guessing the first mission to Mars would be hugely competitive with heaps of candidates who were so committed that there was no space for kids derailing their focus. The show certainly didn’t go out of its way to demonstrate what Emma brought to the table that no one else could match and that rendered her split-focus worth it.
  6. Just wrapped up episode 10 - credit where credit is due, the last 20 minutes were quite stirring, and gave me goosebumps. Watching everyone in mission command waiting at the end of the countdown was nerve-wracking even though I as a viewer already knew they’d made it. I look forward to seeing Kwesi’s Mars garden.
  7. It’s been awhile since I watched Another Life on Netflix, but Away feels very similar to it - with the whole “female astronaut commander goes to space, leaving her deeply involved husband back on earth with their daughter” thing. Also the deeply dysfunctional crew thing. I echo a sentiment from earlier in the thread that I would expect if they’ve been training together for years (as was stated in the first episode) that they’d have a better handle on their interpersonal drama. Oh well. I’m always here for space drama, so I’ll be watching as long as they’re airing. And if Another Life got renewed for a season 2 (which shocks me, based on its abysmal reviews - although i enjoyed it fine) I have to hope this will too.
  8. I just finished watching the whole series for the first time over about a week. Fun, good natured show - and a few emotional punches here and there. I don’t mind the way it ended, but I did find Myka and Pete a bit out of left field. I was really buying their whole sibling vibe. I didn’t pick up on much sexual tension between them (and I’m all about the ships!) Going into it my viewing about all I knew was that there was a Bering/Wells fandom, and I did think those two had chemistry in spades. I cried when they said their final goodbye in season 5. I will say, I suspect this show aired during the tail end of the time where a lead character like Pete making boobie comments about every woman he saw would be portrayed as funny/cute. I don’t consider myself super uptight about tone, but i did cringe a few times. All in all though, I’d be thrilled if the Warehouse came a calling for me! Wish there were more shows in this vein. Guess I’ll start a Eureka rewatch now.
  9. I didn’t have any problems on mine. It was the icon for the “new movies” option yestersay when i hit the XFINITY button on my remote. Hope you’re able to find it!
  10. I watched it a couple days ago and was SO delighted. I was so glad Donald Glover participated, nice to see he’s still willing to be a part of the Community community. I’m rewatching the series now. It is still the best. Can’t WAIT for the table read to drop Monday!
  11. Another Scaper, here in Good Witch land! Who’d have thunk it? i’ve tried to watch season 1 a few times between when the show originally started and now, but this week is the first time i’ve been successful. I’m half way through season 4 now. Occasionally I wonder “whatever happened to Lori, or that boy Grace was friends with in season one?” but I try not to let it get to me. I’m sure it’s fine. This show is ridiculous, and sometimes I yell “STOP SMILING SO MUCH, YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID”, but I continue to watch it.
  12. I am a long time Bernadette Peters fan, and her character’s not-speech to Maggie about what you gain from loss brought to mind her sudden loss of her husband back in 2005 or so, and I just cried. She was certainly a welcome addition to the show, I was so glad for Maggie to have a sounding board.
  13. VERY beautiful show. I binge watched it all in the last 3 days. I found season 1 compelling, but appreciated that season 2 had a bit more of a hopeful note. The entire divorce episode brought me to tears, but Deirdre’s song most especially. And the duet between Peter and Jeff in episode 2 of season 2 was brilliant, but the sasquatch’s song took the day for me - as well as Jeff’s refrain in that song. “Up goes the barrel, Jeff feels anxious; down goes the barrel, Jeff feels free...” has been running through my head on a loop. I hope there will be another season!
  14. That’s exactly what I meant when I said More explanation was necessary - i know they can’t devise a sufficiently terrifying clip-reel, but having Jurati just say a few words about how what was put in her mind went beyond just seeing visions, and how viscerally terrifying it was, would really give some context.
  15. I’m a bit confused about who the third synth girl was, the one Rios met before - I thought they were built in pairs, were these ones triplets? I enjoyed seeing Picard give a good Picardian speech about how we are armed with curiosity and hope and sugar and spice and everything nice, and all they have is trickery and deceipt. Unfortunately, I am struggling to believe in a vision of synth-takeover so terrible that it makes you claw your face off, or beat your head in with a rock. They’re going to have to expand on that a little bit more. I’ll admit, at first I was like “Hmm, I think this past synth-takeover was shown on one of the Treks...” Then after a minute I realized I was thinking of the Orville, and the thwarted takeover by Isaac’s species, whoops! 😂
