This is one of the densest episodes, with tour-de-force performances all around. But Coral Peña as Aleida that towers over them all, with a complex and nuanced reaction to meeting her mentor Margo, played by equally amazing Wrenn Schmidt.
I also love Ed's new direction, but I can't help but sympathize with the greatest hero of For All Mind, Danielle.
I can't wait for the next episode when everything will collide.
Ed's trajectory over this episode was so funny (in a good way), what a god-tier shit-stirrer when scorned.
Very good episode as all storylines work so well together on the season's main thread now, especially the engrossing earth stuff. And organized crime & organized labor happening simultaneously on Mars? Dev is in for a big unpleasant surprise when he gets there.
It’s weird how Aleida PTSD just vanished after she left NASA
Love the Earth storyline but bot a big fan of the ones on Mars. The meeting between Margot and Aleida was a long time coming and it was an amazing scene.
The story developed so well that it made it irrelevant, but it was funny that they needed to make it so no one had considered bringing the asteroid to Earth rather than Mars up until that moment. :joy: But, geez, did it payoff with all the mixed emotions of that scene.
The reference in passing to the strike on the Moon finally came back into play in a great way, and to have Ed of all people being a catalyst when everything was already set to explode was the cherry on top. And now I wonder if Miles will become some sort of mob boss, after all it's technically the prohibition era on Happy Valley and he just kneecapped his predecessor.
really? Thousands of scientists from 7 nations work for M7 and the scenario of bringing the asteroid to Earth isn't the first thing that comes to mind?
Margot and Aleida :sob: What a great scene.
