Imagining the potential audience this show has in girls who treat the Columbine shooters like teen idols just makes me giggle.

I don't think you're supposed to like the main characters.

Of course the imagery evokes 9/11. The synopsis of this series evokes 9/11.

Okay, so that was about as satisfying as the show has been since the first episode. I'm not sure if it's going to end up being the classic it has the ingredients to be, but it's still good to see the bishi terrorists actually dealing with something out of their control.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:I just watched all six episodes that are out today today. Show started off strong but got dumb pretty quick. Who the gently caress is letting this madwoman set bombs in an airport? Who the gently caress is actually doing it? This makes no Goddamn sense. You know who this is believable to? Conspiracy theorists. This is set in a world where Bush did 9/11.

Darth Walrus posted:I like how this episode addressed how Five is so much less natural and more 'anime' a character than the rest of the cast. The Athena Project was designed to dehumanise its subjects, turning them into tools for the government (the names are a bit of a clue), and whilst Nine and Twelve managed to retain some of their humanity by escaping, Five ended up as the sole completed model. I wouldn't be surprised if that weird pseudo-schoolgirl outfit was designed by a corporation to make her more marketable or something. I think this is definitely what they were going for, and it was clear from the first episode that Nine and Twelve were from some weird anime universe that the rest of the cast wasn't. I wouldn't call them particularly great anime characters, but they were competently put together. I was looking forward to Five coming from the same kind of place, but she feels totally off and not in a good way. She's supposed to be smart and dangerous but also frail and feminine, but the writer seems unable to make that work in a way that doesn't completely cancel each other out. I could buy that she has the FBI under her control if the FBI was as anime as she was and goofily subservient, but they seem to be playing it so straight that her antics just don't make sense. As for Twelve, his turn into something more human doesn't really make any sense, and ruins that kind of devilish tone that made him fun to watch in the first place. However, the romantic bomb disarmament on a ferris wheel, despite being totally loving stupid, was hugely convincing in and of itself. This show is so weird in that it can pull off stuff like that, but then gently caress up so many big picture ideas.
