The Stars Our Destination

This is the lowest rated episode of the season and yet all the negative (and accurate) reviews are being downvoted. Strange. I guess only fanboys read reviews.

Anyway, if this were edited down to 22 minutes (the length of half and hour network tv) it would be a good episode. Keep the stuff that moves the way plot forward and get rid of the relationship stuff.

Episode summary: The "giant eye" formed in the sky by the San-Ti Sophon causes panic in the global population, leading to turmoil in major cities. Jin Cheng visits the imprisoned Ye Wenjie, questioning her about the need to attract the San-Ti to Earth.

Nothing of interest happened in this episode. They spent a lot of time on mr cancer, who doesn't look that sick, and his love for one of the others, who he rightly points out is stupid to pursue.

This ep was a student drama.

Apparently this one group of friends holds all the keys to the future, how amazingly talented and important they are.

I can't see anything special happening in the last 2 episodes so I guess this show couldn't keep it up and keep it interesting even though it showed good promise and sparks of interest, it turned out to be little more than hipster youtube video shallow thoughts that didn't stand much thinking about. I don't know if I can be bothered finishing the series now.

Wade assembles the best of the best, and plans to put together a scheme to save humanity.

I'm hoping this is the calm before the storm, pretty good, but obviously Judgment Day was going to be a tough act to follow. This was quite a dialogue heavy episode, but still had some really interesting ideas.

Imagine knowing the world was going to be attacked, was potentially going to end, how would society function, what would change, it's an interesting notion, the so called slow invasion.

What exactly is Wade's role in all of this, I don't think it's been explained yet, all we know, is that he has a lot of power and influence.

Did I hear Born to die, Lana del Rey? Superb choice, instantly made me download it.

Interesting.

7/10.

For those who had read the book, it's quite clear that this chapter is from book 3 and it's a preparation for something very important later on in this book. I immediately recognized the setting for the later events and tears almost rolled out of my eyes knowing what the scene will lead to. But for the general audiences who did not know what's going on then you might think it's a drag. Consider the very fast pace of the season in general, I'd think that this chapter is not an exception, just it's something that the viewers won't know until season 2 or 3. Or maybe it's the intention of the writers to lay something in the mind of the viewers and they will receive the explosive "revelation" later on.

It's a bright and beautiful chapter that has a slow pace but every scene is enjoyable. Brilliant cinematography that portrays the feelings of each character. Something depressive but if we really take it from another perspective we can appreciate how beautiful this chapter is, although I know it can be difficult after those accelerated and excellent chapters 4 and 5, it is a chapter that must be seen calmly and without thinking too much and we will be able to see what is hidden behind it In conclusion, it is a beautiful, slow chapter that leaves us with many messages that depending on each person it will deliver. To enjoy it more, you have to have a more relaxed look, take a short pause after chapter 5 and appreciate every moment of this chapter 6.
