Masters of the Air: Episode Discussion 5

[muccamukk]

In which we (hopefully) welcome directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck!

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:

This isn't going to be a long comment because I was actually invested in what was going on! A much better episode all around in terms of tension, action, and continuity. There was no confusion aside from me still having a little trouble telling all the white men apart.

I loved that we got some more Lemmons with the boys! Even if his final scene was not a happy one. I also very much enjoyed Rosenthal as a character and what we saw from him here--it was very exciting to watch him pilot and the implications of his team being the only one that came back. I did tear up a little with Croz and the letter, that was really well done.

The preview for next episode also looks really interesting! Finally :D

Yes! I'm looking forward to spending more time with Rosie, and possibly not while wearing a mask flying a plane. I've been really liking him so far. An entirely ground-based episode might be a nice change.

The novelty! We'll get to see people's faces :D

I think it will be a nice change! I hope it gives us time to connect more with the characters as we get to know them (and what makes them tick) a little better.
