I did really enjoy the episode but yea as others have said this felt a bit like that episode of Simpsons where they were singing "have no fears we've got stories for years"

No way, bro!

You gotta pull a Westworld - get super butthurt, then throw your plot into a blender, and pour it out in a strange incoherent puddle

Wait what did they actually do here?

Are you talking about the sopranos? Cause everyone else was talking about Westworld lol

Oh that explains why their reply there is loving baffling.

Eh, I wouldn't say a lot. It hasn't aged well because of poo poo beyond its control but I still think the show was funny for almost its entire run

They clearly mean specifically the special. Hence "thing" singular.

I liked it a lot but yea I did think it was a bit weird that they thought they could kill the parasites without caring at all since we know for a fact the hosts are 100% definitely still alive and still themselves, if you take the parasite off there are no adverse affects whatsoever.

It doesn't really matter, it's just strange that they chose this time to "go wild" with that in mind.

The planet episode was decent but watching it back to back with the amazing Acid Vat episode really did take the shine off it.
It's a shame there's already only one episode left. i wonder how big the gap between this and the next bunch is going to be?

That’s all well and good for you to have decided after watching it but it’s 100% being billed and advertised as a science-fiction show.

Yea I'm genuinely glad I read this thread and saw these dissections for Tales from the Loop because even the setting they're using is more about sci-fi concepts and how they relate to us than just regular drama.

I wonder if Solar Opposites will be on any platforms outside of the US because I'm curious after the people going on about it here.
