Masters of the Air: Episode Discussion 1 & 2

For all your chatting needs, as the show comes out. I'll hopefully post one of these every Thursday.

Rules:
  1. Don't be a dick. Specifically (but not limited to):

    1. Not liking something is fine, and negative comments are fine. Please do not directly tell other participants why the thing they like is bad or that they are bad for liking it.

    2. Kink shaming will be deleted.

    3. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, misogyny, etc will be deleted.

  2. Discussing material from the books is fine, but if you're going to discuss something that happens in future episodes, or the fate of historical characters, please put it under a cut and title the comment Book spoilers! or something similar.

  3. Likewise, wanting to treat the show as a self-contained unit and not engage with the books/history is perfectly valid.

How to do an in-comment spoiler cut:

Many of the same feelings. I liked the action (although really felt out of my depth for the tactics) and the group that I was watching with, we kept constantly reiterating: "they are flying in tin cans! Tin cans!"

I do really miss the ease and chemistry that Nixon and Winters had.

TIN CANS! They really were, though, it's wild.

I wonder if the MotA peeps did chemistry reads during casting, because they sure needed it...

It is! I kept thinking: it's 2024 now, but what if I just never get on a plane again

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! D:

Also I read your icon as "specificity is the ghoul of all good communication" and was like: truly a perfect icon for a comment like that lol

Yeah, the scene where Gale is just looking at all the holes in his ship at the end is very impressive.

I loved that. The cinematography for the series hasn't been doing much for me so far, but the way the camera keeps catching ragged air where there should be metal was very effective.
