I didn't claim otherwise.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

This is a great idea! I'm still pondering picking up the Humble Bundle of audios, but sadly this doesn't seem to be one of them.

it became clear that the “truth” of the Fugitive was as up in the air for him as much as us

You know, as aggravating as it was that Chibnall seemed pretty uninterested in his own setups, it's nice that someone is playing with the toys he put on the shelf.

No word of a lie, "Has Been" is an incredible album.

Yeah, I exaggerate, but I think the message was definitely that it's okay to embrace your inner cockiness, which I think is an untraditional (but interesting!) message.

But despite a lot of talk about seaweed and “we’ve all got gills”, everybody looks peculiarly human.

I assume because this moon has (conveniently) become a desert over the years.

The responses are all live in the thread! Or you can check out the u/karim account to see them all in chronological order (but without the questions, which is...challenging).

Well, that was certainly a low-stakes palate cleanser after last week's more intense episode. Probably a little too low-stakes for my liking.

They seemed intent on inverting common tropes in this one:

The "arranged marriage" storyline didn't play out in a way that we've really seen before.

Similarly, Darem's overall arc of "I need to stop being such a people-pleaser so I can be my more authentic, dickish self" is...a twist.

Caleb and Genesis put any "will they/won't they" plotlines to rest (though I suppose they could revisit it).

And Genesis' deep, dark secret turned out to be...not that deep. As much as I appreciate the inversion and that she didn't turn out to be a Species 10-C spy or something, I feel like we still don't know enough about Genesis. We're going to have to meet her dad to really get to the bottom of her character, I think.

As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ready.
