Hey folks from the future, please remember to refrain from posting spoilers!
Is this show worth a watch?
It was basically alright, and I kinda got into it as it progressed. But it has SUCH a slow start. First few episodes are basically pure character-building with no invasion going on whatsoever. And a few eps are so incredibly dark - and I don’t mean grim story, I mean black pixels with almost no visible details! - that they are unwatchable. I ended up skipping through about half an episode (the one in the house) because it was impossible to see what was going on, and just boring. Still, I was invested enough by the end of season 1 to give the new season a shot.
Off-topic, but it’s been like a month since either of the mods have done anything around here. I messaged them both a week ago, but have gotten no response.
I think instances admins can alter community mods if necessary. Maybe worth contacting them.
Just checked the profiles of the mods, lazyvar, on their proframmingdev account, I’d still active, the other hasn’t been active in a few weeks.
Ah thanks, I didn’t realize they had two accounts. I just messaged them.
Finally watched.
Had to chuckle at Mitsuki’s Molotov buildout. After three direct hits, I instinctually was looking around for alcohol and cloth, wondering when she’d find time to craft more.
I know we’re supposed to dislike the tech billionaire guy for story reasons, but this show’s writing is so touch-and-go that I hate him for just being unbelievable as a human—even a sociopathic, narcissistic one.
Luke (the son) is such a little shit, which—having raised a moody teenager—is actually the most realistic character in this show. But it’s still uncomfortable because we don’t like our movie/tv teens to be quite as fucking annoying as in real life. Such a conundrum. Hopefully his psychic connection will make him more likable in the episodes to come.
So, the metal shard is a compass, right? After four months, how are people still in the dark regarding that alloy and its effect on the weird rot/terraform stuff and the obvious use as a weapon against the aliens? Did I miss something?
Damn, David Bowie’s estate is making money off this show. We got another playback of Space Oddity (after hearing it in S01E09 I think), and they threw Moonage Daydream into the end credits.
I’m astounded this show was renewed for a second season.
