Great reaction! It’s been fun to rewatch this series with a new fan in the making 🙂. I’ve been ruminating on the Danny/Karen situation. While I agree Karen made a HUGE mistake with Danny, I’m not sure that a decade of Danny drunkenly stalking her since then is deserved. Should poor choices that can’t be taken back be “punished” forever? At the end of the day, they were two consenting adults, so even though their encounter felt icky to me too, it wasn’t illegal. I interpreted Karen’s check-in about the song at the reception as gauging the temperature of the stalking now that’s he’s clean and sober and married. Based on Danny’s not-appropriate reaction to her inquiry, she wasn’t wrong to be concerned that his unhealthy obsession is still simmering below the surface. Danny’s now almost thirty, married, sober, and STILL low-key stalking her. Karen bears the bulk of responsibility for the mistake of the original encounter, but Danny’s ongoing pining and stalking lands squarely on his shoulders IMHO. Let’s consider if the roles were reversed (think Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), if Rebecca slept with a friend’s dad (and I vaguely remember she did —Greg’s dad maybe?). IF Rebecca was still pining and stalking that dad almost ten years later, I think we’d long ago have let the dad off the hook for the unfortunate choices surrounding the original encounter, and turn our focus to Rebecca ‘s ongoing wrongdoing, and hoping she’ll get the professional help she needs to let it go and move on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just realized what the Danny stalking Karen Baldwin thing might have been inspired by.... https://www.denverpost.com/2007/02/05/diaper-wearing-astronaut-jailed-in-love-triangle-plot/#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17270563157510&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.denverpost.com%2F2007%2F02%2F05%2Fdiaper-wearing-astronaut-jailed-in-love-triangle-plot%2F edit: to clarify, this is not a spoiler for anything, just to confirm that even highly-trained and psychologically-assessed astronauts can go completely off the rails.

Dev is a self made billionaire who made his fortunes pioneering clean energy and making fossil fuels redundant. If you wait for a nice billionaire or government to take us to mars, you’ll be waiting until the sun explodes.

Interesting to consider the space hotel disaster with the ongoing testimony in the Titan submersible court case.

finally getting around to catching up--what a treat it is to rewatch this series alongside someone else!! (additionally, jumpscare anytime someone says my name... i don't hear it often except for in the context of this show or in reference to character actress margo martindale) can't wait to continue on this journey!!
