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:

Finally feeling fannish this episode!! I think because Egan and Crosby's points of views solidified a lot more imo. Also the Egan bravado/pretending he's got it all under control thing has me intrigued. Egan saying he doesn't even feel it!! Not wearing the Jacket Buck hates!! Everyone walking on eggshells around him!!

Also Crosby reading Bubbles' letter literally brought me to tears, and I don't remember crying this early into BoB.

Yeah, I think the jacket thing was the first time I was really shippy about Buck Squared or whatever we're calling it.

That scene at the end is so tragic. You know it's coming, and yet... grate use of Chekov's letter.
