While it's not a major problem <i>yet</i> since we're only on the fourth episode, this series is gonna start getting really stale really fast if we don't start mixing up the interactions.<br /><br />Otherwise, I enjoyed the episode. I thought it was a step up from last week.<br /><br />Basically, if Mariner was a real person, she would fall asleep watching TNG. Freeman's evil plan to get rid of her daughter this week was to promote her and bore her to tears doing all the stuff they did in TNG. The crisis involving the terraforming goo allowed the two to find common ground... if only for a moment.<br /><br />Tendi goes to watch someone ascend to become pure energy, only to "ruin" it. She spends most of the episode trying to make it up to the guy, only to find that he was never going to ascend in the first place. However, through the power of true friendship with Tendi, he actually does ascend at the end of the episode... which appears to be a painful and freaky process. I didn't catch everything during the first viewing, but there was something about a koala? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>137th Gebirg</b> <br /><small>Member # 2692</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2020,7,27,21,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 27, 2020</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:28 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Last week’s episode was almost all Mariner/Ransom, in which there also seemed to be some interesting chemistry emerging (at least, before he sent her to the brig for not rolling her sleeves down at the end).

I agree we need more character combinations, but I did like what I saw between Mariner and Freeman. And Mariner first acting bored, then actually being bored when she got dragged into the senior officers’ activities, was freaking hilarious.<br /><br />I liked Tendi when we first met her, but she’s starting to annoy me a bit. Maybe it’s that when she shrieks in excitement she reminds me a lot of Cheryl/Carol from Archer. Minus the psychopathy, probably? (That bit where she demanded to know who didn’t like her was a little disturbing.)<br /><br />Apparently the universe lives on the back of a smiling koala? Yeah, that didn’t make any sense to me either.
