He even gets James Carville on there to roast him.

Getting roasted by Carville in 2022 is like getting admitted to a burn unit after eating mild salsa, just wildly embarrassing.

Just a massive disappointment for a show that was excellent in it’s first two seasons. Hope season 4 is a return to form.

Your obsession with the idea that the relationship is incest is weirder than the relationship itself tbh.

Harsh but fair.

I mean, Despair is still cutting herself in the one scene they had, I imagine we'll get a lot more in season 2. I mean, she always kind of had to be a big girl, that's the character, no? 

I guess this is part of the thing, all the Endless in the comics look pretty different depending on the artist and who's perceiving them. Despair doesn't always look goblin-like, but she does in some appearances. So I guess if you're going to normal up Despair like they did to Dream, sure she'd just look like a big girl. But the manifestation of Dreams looking like a normal dude hits different than the manifestation of Despair looking like someone you wouldn't do a double take on if you saw her on the subway.

Finished just now. Overall I really liked it! I think most of the "issues" I have are that the impact of some scenes don't match up with my head canon. But at this point, like I said in my earlier post, I can't really divorce whether or not that's because the show misfired or because I read the comics so much when I was growing up that my memories are punching above their weight class. In any event it's a high class problem and considering what a minefield adapting this must have been, it's hard to complain.

I will say the one thing I think they did an actual bad job on was Despair. She's just... a big girl? That's pretty fucking grim. I appreciate that they're not going to have someone naked and filthy and borderline orcish like she was in the comic for the most part, but that casting felt pretty mean.

I mean, if this was some schlub like one of us, they wouldn't need the fbi to investigate this in the first place. They just would have said, "revolvers don't fire on their own", and that would have been the end of that discussion. 

 

Obviously I don't know about this specific, individual gun, but the general Single Action Army model in question here CAN fire without the trigger being pulled, which is why people often don't chamber a round in the chamber directly below the hammer if they're carrying one.

Yeah, it feels as if they had a plan with the first two seasons and now they are winging this last season. And the season finale, ho boy... Its a lot. Regarding the kids, they do seem to be the common thread of fuckers running through everything at this point. Darn kids, always endanger the future of space exploration!

Also, the blast pattern on that bomb is something to leave Karin's whole face and body largely intact, but still able to sheer of the face of the building!

 

Honestly I can't even talk about the actual bombing because it makes absolutely zero fucking sense at all. The blast was big enough to rip off almost a whole side of JSC and completely destroy mission control but the only thing Jimmy, 25 feet away from the blast, suffers is the indignity of the world's most embarassing God of War cosplay? Dude should be vapor. The show has nuclear powered spaceships so I know we're adjacent to Hogwarts, but Jesus Christ.

I don't wanna be too hard on a show I genuinely really like, but...

i wonder if they've thought about the extent to which they're consistently cruel to the kids on this show. Shane is dead. Danny and Jimmy both deserve the death penalty. Kelly is having raw dog space adventures (goals) but we're not even using the rhythm method here?

And the Helios stuff was just... bad. Karen calling out Dev for behaving erratically, but we haven't known him long enough to see that? Pinning the company's issues on Karen getting an office when the board was apparently always there but didn't have a say in a straw poll that could have let a bunch of people die in space so they could get to Mars first? And then the fact that his idea saved Ed and Danny's lives apparently counts for no cache with the board? Or Karen? And Dev's got enough money to just start another company, but not enough money to pay people? I don't want to get into the weeds but that whole arc failed every vibe check.

Well that was certainly an episode of this show.

Spoilers below...

I guess one way to get yourselves out of the corner you painted yourself into is to literally blow it up.

I didn't like Jimmy's arc before this episode and now I think it just stunk. It wasn't even interesting, they could have gone full incel / conspiracy goblin or full simp but they did neither. I don't even know what I'm supposed to think he believes? That NASA lying about the shit that happened to his parents? Why? To what end? He's like a Q believer... except he regularly hangs out with people who'd be in on the conspiracy, one of whom is his brother, who tells him about shit like fucking Karen, so he'd definitely know if the conspiracies were real? I don't get this entire thread, it's just wildly unsatisfying. I know that conspiracy goobers IRL don't make sense but this is a TV show, you've got to stitch it together, you can't just throw a bunch of fabric swatches onto one another and call it a quilt.

We're meant to believe that nobody sussed out that Danny fucked up the drill? I'd need to go back and watch it, but weren't there shots of people side eyeing the decision to let him keep working at that station at the time? And their brilliant plan is to let an addict be by himself for a month at a time? He's gonna fucking die, or at some point they're gonna have to share a ride home so what exactly is the fucking point here?

This season spent so much time on the Stevens brother and the payoff was uh... not great.

The timing of Margo's "escape" sure was convenient. 

Poor Karen. It seemed like from the start of this season they didn't really know what to do with her. Astronaut's wife to small business owner? Sure. Leveraging her relationship with Tracy's husband to get a sick payout for selling the bar? Absolutely. Parlaying that into being the CEO of an aerospace company? What? I don't wanna be too unkind here but it feels bizarre to give her that much of a glow up and then blow her to kingdom come.

The stuff with the astronauts was generally really good all season. I wish they'd done something more with the North Korean dude. Ellen's stuff was very sweet even if it felt like it took a long time to get there. 

A couple lousy episodes of this show are still better than most other shows, so I guess I shouldn't complain all that much. But I think the reason that the stuff with the Stevens boys just kinds limped along was that they had the least amount of time in the oven, and given that we're in 2009, I wonder what the next season is going to be about. Ed was probably too old to be flying in this season, he for sure will be in the oughts, so... who knows. Maybe we'll run into aliens.

There are always going to be people who stand by their man regardless of actions. Certain people have more magnetism, or whatever you wanna call it, then others. Trump seems to have more than his fair share.

But this, "he will inevitably be POTUS" stuff is fuckin weird, especially given the fact that he just lost and not EVERYONE that voted for him is a true believer. Holding onto nuclear information like it's a trinket is fucking bananas, even for him, and r/TheDonald or Truth or 4chan, or kiwifarms, or Gab, or Parler or wherever the assassination of these g-men will be plotted are not effective litmus tests for literally anything.
