I’m really looking forward to next week.

The whole ordeal of military personnel addressing female officers as, "Sir" is more of a Sci-Fi trope for militaries in their worlds. In the actual military we simply address female officers as "Ma'am" There were a few reactors who got thrown off by the first use of, "Sir" in this show back in 1x4. I'm not really sure why sci-fi shows/movies do this when the actual military does not.

Have to love Amos' expression after Prax made his statement of getting revenge. Amos can see the dark path Prax has turned to given how he perceives people. One thing the show BRUTALLY points out is that there is no black n' white good guy and bad guys. There's a TON of nuance just like real life. Many shows just have blanket good guys and blanket bad guys. Here no one is a 2D character, there's nuance, depth, and reasons (good or bad) behind why people are doing the things they're doing. EVEN the good guys have obvious flaws and the bad guys have some understandable points behind their actions. Though of course they're wrong they at least have reasons (selfish or otherwise). As Honey pointed out, it's just like the REAL WORLD! OMFG I can't wait to see the reaction from you two on 3x6!!!! It must've blown your socks off and I'm dying to see it!

Yeah, there are a handful of things that I feel like we in the reaction viewing world find ourselves having to constantly explain in comments, and the "sir" thing is one of them. As you say, it's surprisingly common in futuristic fiction, so much so that I think a lot of writers have come to believe that either this is the way the real military already is, or that it's obviously the way it's going to be in the future for some reason. I even remember a discussion some years back on Reddit or some such place where several people asserted that this is actually the way officers are addressed in modern militaries, only to have actual service members or veterans say no, not in any military they know. I think mostly it's a trope that's sort of fed on itself and grown more prevalent over the years, despite little actual evidence that it's the way things work in the real world, now or anytime in the likely future. So what ends up happening is that people just get confused, or worse, they become offended at "wokeness" among the writing staff, even though I'm not sure that's what the motivation was (or even what that term really means, but that's an argument for another day). I think it's just an idea that's spread because it sounds like something that might be plausible in the future. And, I don't know, maybe it could be, but it strikes me as a solution in search of a problem, so I don't think it's really likely. In the end, it's just a thing they tend to do in Sci-Fi. No need to dwell on it.

Yeah, as a vet of both the Army and Air Force I can also confirm that we do not address our female commissioned officers by, "Sir". It is a very interesting thing that it is done so much in fiction. "A solution in search of a problem."....well said! Thankfully nothing serious, just sucks that it does leads to slight confusion!

I think Honey and Tori you missed when Jules-Pierre transferred control of the hybrid pods to Admiral Nguyen on the Agatha King. Each of those have to be like Caliban that was aboard the Roci. So they have those failsafe modules in their chests, unless somehow I'm dead wrong. I sure didn't read the book yet 😜 But now they are being launched... Shiiiiiiite But yes, they all were once kids - and that's fucking heinous. Now Katoa is quickly finishing his transformation and, "He won't be talking to us again." Also... The WORK is almost finished. Katoa said, "You make it, and it works, or it doesn't." = Trial and error? "...the parts, all the parts, put together..." = use everything? "If this can use, then use... Not use, then... It turns." = some parts work others don't? "Find the pieces... For up..." = to get off-planet? "Building across... The Up... For the Work. = whatever it's making is is for space? "You can't stop the Work!" = Resistance is futile? sorry had to; but basically 'no interference allowed?'

I look forward to every episode. Even when you're confused or overwhelmed - this show is good at doing both obvi - I love your reactions. The next few are more than a bit 🤯🤯🤯
