They probably didn’t call it a prequel but it strictly speaking isn’t. A spiritual prequel maybe, but if you rolled straight from the end of Stampede into the first episode of 1998, it doesn’t make any sense. The finale was fine, the more I watched the season the more it reminded me of the Eva rebuilds. A retelling of a familiar story meaningful for how it alters it over time, combined with a slightly unhealthy does of magical nonsense it doesn’t really bother to explain. I’m not being critical of people who enjoy the new series in a vacuum, but I really do feel like a lot of the show relies on your previous knowledge to flesh people out. Still, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next season.

I still feel that the current day adds good and necessary texture to everything else. Knowing for example that Misty survives and is a basket case gives her actions in the past more context and irony. Teen Natalie’s circumstances are more tragic because we know that they’ve carried through to the rest of her life. Besides, Melanie Lynskie is easily one of the best parts of the show. Are we also going to deny ourselves the joy of watching Christina Rocco shoulder check Juliette Lewis out of the way to snort an entire plate of blow?

I can see where this leads to a divorce. If my wife was sitting on a collection of stuff worth eight figures and just hanging onto them instead of selling them so we could do stuff with that money, I’d probably be upset about it too. Having a fun collection is all well and good, but to be sitting on a fortune and doing nothing with it until you die? Feels like a waste to me.

Maybe it's an extremely meta take on the fact that Aliens is about the distance and incompetence of higher command creating an unwinnable clusterfuck?

People have a wildly unrealistic expectation of how well people in animation are paid. The only person I can recall who has made it really well from animation in recent memory is Seth MacFarlane, and that guy made THE biggest animation show of the past thirty years on a major cable network, a handful of other shows, and several movies.

People not immediately going to bat for Majors isn’t purely racial. Rolland and Tate directly cater to the incel and adjacent crowd, it’s their bread and butter. They’re far more about a mindset and lifestyle where Majors is just an actor some people liked. Taking down Majors isn’t viewed as an assault on a lifestyle.

The Martha’s Vineyard stuff is just peak conservatives missing the point, failing to accomplish what they hoped for, and then just running a victory lap anyway. Imagine knowing a couple who say they want to start a family, then arriving at their door one random night with three babies and shoving them into their arms. Then imagine going “I gUeSs YoU DiDn’T wAnT kIdS aFtEr AlL” if they were anything other than blissfully grateful. You didn’t make a point, you’re just an asshole.
