  • Just finished up and I liked the spy thriller premise but it does rank lowest in my D+ series ranking. The entire thing feels like a setup, but for… (fill in the blank with not a waste of time at some point in the future please)?

    Ritson’s response is painfully USian, so it tracked for me, but it’s like globally, aliens aren’t a new concept so… Why?

    So daft that you can’t somehow differentiate between good aliens and bad aliens and given that the globe is already dealing with the blip fallout and repatriation efforts a million seems like such a miniscule number, so, who cares?

    G’iah as super-super-super powered individual seems too much to me, even as I was accepting that Gravik had cracked the ability to get some powers, it still wasn’t an end all be all issue. Now you’ve introduced some potential meta-threat that’s just tacked on the end of one of the weaker D+ series and for what? Like what is going to be done with this character or is she just going to be shuffled off and sidelined?

    I don’t like the way that the series just did away with established characters (Hill especially, Talos because wholesome AF, liked him) so casually, though. Like the deaths felt they lacked any real weight to them. They felt like just things.

    I do like Varra. So, so much I like her. I doubt she’ll ever show up again but for what it’s worth, I like her.

    I feel for the Skull plight. I just wish that they’d gotten better than this. Surely there is more to it than Gravik vs. Talos/Fury.

    Maybe whatever it’s setting up will make it something I want to watch again in the future, but for now, sadly, one watch was enough.
