just finished watching the third episode of away… and wow that broke me
It was so well done! I’ve said before that I wanted more of them, and I absolutely do, but in a way, it was almost like a one-off from an anthology, their full story and leaving it at hope for their future. That last phone call especially, and with the piano playing, they really made it as lovely as possible and the actresses were so good. Though for all of Mei’s very expressive and believable crying, Lu’s restraint and that final whispered “until then…” got to me the most.
i wish we’d have gotten more of Mei and Lu :/ they were cute and i kinda hope we get a time jump or something next season
Saaame. As much as I love what we got of them and Lu overall, if I hadn’t watched it and just read about it, I’d be sideeyeing it pretty hard for just sending Mei off completely after the third ep. When I reskimmed the first two eps it was so nice to see her as their CAPCOM, just let her stay there! D:
I don’t really expect that we’ll skip through the whole of the time on Mars, but I wonder what kind of focus we’ll get, if it’ll be random things going wrong each ep and then them finally taking off in the finale? Or will that be left for a third season (if they get one)? But they must know we don’t really want to see a full season of them traveling home either…not when it’ll be a repeat of this season, in a way. I expect they’ll still work flashbacks into it, because they can’t really keep these characters totally separate from their people on Earth. I just hope we’ll at least get some more Mei that way. Although…I wonder if they’ll work her back into the mission somehow.
Hi again, I was the anon who asked about Gina R. in the first place. I really had no idea about her being problematic. Like at all. I just know her from Jtv and like 2 movies and know nothing else about her personal life since I also never looked her up on social media or anything. So I was surprised. Sucks to hear that she did do that shit. And it always sucks more when it’s from someone I wouldn’t expect. Thanks again for answering!
Wait, what two movies? Ohh…I guess I know her from two movies too, although I never watched Someone Great. No, yeah, I don’t follow her anywhere but it was just on Twitter and a bit of Tumblr each time it happened.
And yeah, it does suck and I was going to say this last time but then left it out because racism’s never excusable, obviously, but in her cases especially it really seems like…unforced errors, you know, like it’s very easy to NOT do what she did?
Gina Rodriguez is problematic and a bad actor, she always ruins projects for me lol
I’ll grant you the first part but I can’t on the second, I think she’s great on screen. Obviously the last part’s subjective, sorry about that for you, anon. 😮
Hi, what is messy about GRod?
Hi! Heh, still so polite.
Uh, well, she’s repeatedly been anti-Black racist in the last few years and despite outward apologies seems to just not really Get It? I dunno, I haven’t followed too closely, just the SM backlash each time.
