Dandelion Sky

Just what the hell is going on. Everyone is acting like incompetent morons in fact it's been like that for a few episodes now.

Why would the minister even be in the flight control room giving opinions on why they shouldn't send drones to investigate the core.

Why hasn't holden tried to explain he didn't send the original message threatening the inners at any point since he left the ship with the the dead cop dude.

How does someone like julie Maus sister get literally anywhere on the ship without challenge. In fact the only point at which she is challenged is where she wants access to the air lock and is denied. The next scene she's accessing the air lock.

How does this version of the human race which has reached this level of advanced tech and ingenuity behave so dumb is beyond me.

It felt like... nothing happened at all? I am glad the series got renewed an extra year, but they definitely need to improve the pace. The last eps got me close to boredom. I was used to so much better!

I need some more specific motivation. Maybe I'm sort of dense, but not totally sure where this thing is headed. Everything seems to bank on the protomolecule which has so much control, it's hard to root for someone. There are so many stories, some of which are ethereal, that I can barely evaluate what I just saw.

Elizabeth Mitchel always plays some super-extra-mega-meek characters. She can do better, we saw that in Lost. But here it's still the good old Liz. Somehow her character feels responsible for a Navy Leutenant, no less, who decided that the best time to talk to a priest is when they are all going through an extra-terrestrial artefact and may be about to lose their space, time, life, human race. Then this obviously distubred man went to his cabin and blew his brains out. AND SHE'S RESPONSIBLE!? She "forgot why she was here"!?!? Come on, writers. That's quite possibly the weakest point of this show? Why was it even added!? It tells nothing new about the character, the "leutenant" has no future or past line in the narrative. WHY?

This episode is worth watching a couple times.

Not only does it tell the story, but interwoven are some deep themes on questions of faith.

Exceptionally well done episode...one of my favorites.
