Season 3 - Episode 4 "Gently Falling Rain"
Notes compiled while watching:
We fade in on a speech that sounds like it was cribbed from one Hitler gave on the Treaty of Versailles, but clearly she is meant to represent Trump.
Seth loves Broadway so of course we get the final song of Annie. It was hilarious to realize that singing about how the sun was going to come out sounded like a
horror story to the Krill.
Isaac in the Old West looked hilarious. Reminded me of A Fistful of Datas.
Clearly they mean to do some world building by taking us to our first Krill planet.
Ah, this time Ed leaves on the shuttle, but for the first time this season leaves Kelly behind. This time it would seem to make more sense to bring her along because it's only a diplomatic mission and besides, wouldn't she want to be in on the galaxy-shaking events? I think the show really telegraphs what's going to happen by the way they treat Kelly. By leaving her on the ship it's clear something important is going to happen there.
Hmm, the Expanding Helix maneuver and no seat belts. Something wrong with this picture...
Echoes of Star Wars space opera.
And now taking a left turn into Roe v. Wade.
Not too sure about the Krill salute. Looks like it would get tiring fast.
It's always the blue guys who get killed first. ;)
The show seemed like an unannounced part 1.
I guess I liked it, though maybe it wandered a bit too far into the space opera side. Maybe I'll appreciate it more when more of its issues find resolution.
