Well, I owe a few people Cokes over Donald being an augmented human rather than just a robot from the start. And thinking it over, this is a much more interesting route to take. I imagine he and Rudy could have some interesting conversations. Also much appreciated to see him immediately press the issue rather than dragging the mystery out past any purpose it could have. It seems like fewer and fewer writers these days are able to tell when it's time to do that. Speaking of, I might have actually cheered out loud when it was revealed everyone already knew Shapesmith was a Martian. That whole thing was the one sour note for me in the season's first half, and now it turns out they weren't all just gullible idiots about it. But who can think about anything else when we've got that post-credit scene? It always felt a bit weird that they'd get the legendary Peter Cullen to just voice this old guy on the sidelines, so I am so pumped for wherever this is going. It looks like one shall stand and one shall fall on multiple fronts, and I have absolutely no idea how any of it fits together or what could happen next. Take it from an actual published sci-fi writer, that is not easy to do, and I salute anyone who can pull it off this well.

We did in fact, return with a bang with this show. It is nice, I agree, to open with a strong showcasing of Mark’s empathy. How he stays and helps the one planet rebuild, and then after Kim, pardon me, Andressa, that was it, made the plea that she did, agrees to take home his half-brother with him, mixed feelings though he doubtlessly has about it. Certainly, I loved the scenes where Debbie vented; I share your thoughts of her needing to get that out. I encouraged her, “I am all about that energy, Debbie!!” Which brings us to Cecil, who is remaining my favorite character in this. I find though I’m sympathetic to Mark’s being upset that Cecil is still monitoring the Grayson household, considering what happened, it’s not the most unfounded precaution. Likewise, I concur with you on if there wasn’t question of Cecil possibly having underlying motives with the baby, and I wouldn’t put it past him, you would be more receptive to the not invalid points he brings up of needing someone who could be well equipped to look after the baby when Debbie or Mark are unable to. I enjoyed your comments about Amber going through her own struggles with the death of her grandfather, and how it is an occasion where Mark’s work keeps them from being together, and it is difficult to navigate such a lifestyle. An excellent reveal of the Six Million Dollar Donald. I agree that they built it up superbly well, and I loved your observations on Cecil’s response to what happened. Love the reveal that the Martian’s subterfuge didn’t exactly fool most everyone in the group, complete with Cecil all but saying, “I’m paranoid to the point that Colonel Flagg seems like an overly trusting guy. You REALLY think I didn’t investigate you to see if you had any dirty laundry?” Now to Rex. You say, Jess, that Rex is climbing to the tippy top of your favorites for this show, top five if nothing else, my immediate gut reaction was to reply, “I’m so sorry.” I confess we differ on that opinion as he is a complete fucking douchebag whose buffoonery I cannot sanction. Though like you said, he is refreshingly self-aware enough about it. His scene with Eve was nice. Yeah, the ending, we’re in a tight spot twice over, your reactions to both said tight spots being fantastic. Horrifying seeing Rae die, I said, “Oh, that’s fucked up. Aw, that’s fucked up!” Likewise, it was horrifying to see Kate die. I think. I haven’t heard any definitive word on that one, compared to Rae. By all accounts, her fortunes look dismal if nothing else. It does lead to Rex having a pretty damned badass last stand followed by him facing death with annoyance more than anything, I give him points for that. Seeing how you went through the emotions during the last scene with Rex made me feel terrible for not liking him that much, leading me to quote a different more beloved Rex, “Great! Now I have guilt.” I will say, addressing your concern for Rex, I would think it’s likely that he will not be killed off JUST yet, because if they were going to do that, you wouldn’t leave it on the uncertainty. Still, you say you have the concern, now I have it too, seeing how his scenes affected you, Jess; it’s your concern catching fire from you to me. A nice silver lining that Allen lives. Interesting reveal about Optimus, er, Thaedus. Should be interesting to see how those developments play out. If nothing else, this was a lovely reaction, with even lovelier post-reaction thoughts. I greatly enjoyed all of it, Jess, thank you.

I kept my options open, though my thoughts leaned more toward Donald being essentially a Terminator. It’s a nice twist that he’s more like Inspector Gadget without the fancy bells and whistles, so far as we know, anyway. I remember you expressing hope that the Immortal especially seeing through Shapesmith trying to blend in, and just rolled with it. Thus, it’s refreshing to have it revealed by Cecil that they mostly had a “We all knew already.” which indicates that Cecil probably thought. “Ok, he’s a Martian. No biggie. It becomes a problem we’ll worry about it then.” Oh, I knew that Peter Cullen’s character was going to have some type of big part to play, I just didn’t know exactly what. Same here on the uncertainty of where all this is going.

To me Rex is a lot like Mark Ruffalo in Poor Things, where he’d be absolutely unbearable in person, but as a character onscreen the strength of the performance plus him regularly going through humiliations keeps him from ever getting too annoying (“Oh motherfucker!” at Cecil’s teleportation may be his funniest moment yet). And if they play it right, his first commanded mission going so disastrously wrong could lead to some genuine character growth which would be very welcome.
