Only 9 episodes, and this one was 40 minutes if you take the trailers and credits out. Not sparking joy.

The fog scenes at the start were really good! I loved the atmosphere and sort of eerie lighting. The flying shot when it's all going to shit was really evocative too.

I wish we'd met the crew we're supposed to care about now a bit earlier. It seems a bit like the Band of Brothers thing where they'd give someone a few lines just to remind us they were a character who existed, right before killing them off.

RIP Curt. You were my fave.

I'm confused about Croz. I thought he was going to be promoted to a desk job? Why was he on the mission? I did like the running thing between him and Blakely (sp) though, with the goblin quiz.

Also confused about why Egan was on the mission. Because he could? Do we want to ship him with anyone from SAS Rogue Heroes, since he's over on the right continent now?

I enjoyed Cleven's commander of steel bit. I'd seen the part where they start ditching stuff already, but it was still a great section. No Engine Cleven starts to pay off.

The show is starting to show how pointless this shit was. Cheering that on.

No women with speaking roles, so all the hair was fine. Bit concerned about episode 4, which looks like it's going to be making up for this.
