I'd actually started almost looking forward to the end song just to see what they come up with after ep 1 outroed with Mob Rules.
Having said that this is one of the biggest shows I've followed where I have to consistently remind myself "just let it go, just let it happen" regarding stupid. Despite Aliens being one of my very favorite movies I can still, after who knows how many viewings, sigh when everybody, everybody just abandons the Sulaco in orbit to go down on the drop ship. Then, after a combat drop of the team the drop ship, in a known threat area (the existence of the xenos is fully confirmed at this point) instead of being on station apparently lands so Spunkmeyer can go rub one out leaving the bay open. C'mon.
I knew we were in contrivance trouble when the Maginot, even setting aside it probably should have burned up in the atmosphere given the supposed issues, just kinda skips over a few buildings and settles largely intact into a building despite actually having forward thrust engines engaged even after the crash. (sigh)
Just to keep some of it positive I am interested in how they treat the OctoEye story. They're clearly setting that up as an actual alien intellect but to what end who knows. Wondering who it is that Kavalier picked out in his head to hook up with OctoEye that would allow for better interaction. Since they made a point about recovering Arthur's body I'm thinking he's a likely candidate. Also Kirsh is clearly up to something but we don't know what. (Plus I'm just an Olyphant fan anyway)
