The Stars Our Destination

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.

This show has had issues before but they are amplified now that it's mostly become a melodrama about uninteresting characters and petty issues. Many characters don't seem to actually care about the events that just unfolded or the impending alien invasion. They are too busy being involved in their own personal problems rather than putting all of it aside. The narrow focus on the 4 scientist friends group drama is mind numbingly boring to watch at times. Saul and Will are often uninteresting at best. The Jin and Auggie characters are very arrogant and entitled.

This is extremely off putting as most of their esteem is completely unearned. They do their level best to show you how foolish, naive or immature they are. These characters are not believable as the elite and accomplished scientists that they are supposed to be. They act morally superior and make derogatory remarks against Raj and Wade (who are actually trying to win a war of survival) while acting like spoiled children and moody teens. It is completely out of hand and they are in need of adult supervision (along with the writers apparently).

The writers seem incapable of actually making these characters behave intelligently. They can't decide if they should grace humanity with their unique knowledge or do...nothing. It's unbelievable that these 2 can't be replaced. There are 1 million physicists in the world and millions of other intelligent people that apparently don't hold a candle to an alcoholic that never does any work but somehow produces cutting edge fibers or a physicist that has nothing going for her other than a BF out of her league. Auggie doesn't even run the company that makes the fibers! Meanwhile Raj and Wade are out there actually making a difference.

The Stars Our Destination slows down a bit compared to previous episodes, giving us time to understand how the characters are feeling after everything that's happened and is happening now. It's more about their emotions and decisions than big action scenes.

Actually, i think that the episode could've been wrapped up in a 10-15 minutes in the previous one or adding it up to the next episode. More or less, it didn't feel quite right.

While yes it might feel a bit slow, it's important for setting up what comes next in the story. Overall, it's a thoughtful episode that gets us ready for the next part of the adventure.

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.

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.
