I want moooore ;A;

That wedding had me SWOONING. And when Isaac put his hand on Ty's shoulder during Gordon's song omg

Also the B-plot had me seriously weirded out because I've been writing a fanfiction with almost that exact plot. It deviated near the end, but initially it was almost beat for beat. I was stunned.

Also also thank you for making these posts OP! ❤❤❤

[senshi_forever]

I also want more!!!! My favorite storyline wasn't even given an ending 😭

You mean you're writing a fanfic similar to the Majority Rule character plot???? Aww! That's so cool! I may have to write an Ed/Anaya/Teleya fanfic to get closure for that lmao

Oh, no problem! I really enjoyed making them! I was going to write about my thoughts on doing it but I got lazy and just didn't bother lol

What did you think of Alara showing up at the end??????? I was so happy to see her! If we get another season and she shows up for another similar reason (like a celebratory reason), she and Talla need to like, solve a murder together or something lol

[xpirate_queenx]

Yeah, it wasn't Lysella but rather someone I made up-- a 29 y.o. from around 2052 who due to...sci-fi (some kind of temporal plasma storm or something to do with the Aranov Device idk) ends up on the ship. Just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got sent to the future. As they try to figure out what happened and how to send her back, she takes in all the wonderful things the future has in store and upon thinking of what the climate change-ravaged capitalist hellscape she comes from, requests asylum aboard the ship (or in the future in general).

It was going to be a thinker about the ethics of keeping her there, how it would effect the time stream, etc. I'd been trying to figure out the ending and was leaning toward [Spoiler (click to open)]her request being granted and the 'how' of how she got there basically being 'man, even we don't know but we'll keep trying to figure it out'

That sounds awesome! It's also giving me "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" vibes.

The promo video

[senshi_forever]

I've posted the promo in this entry but now it's saying 'unavailable' even though it was working when I tested it. It is not showing up for anyone else?

Re: The promo video

[beesknees7]

Says unavailable for me too, was it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3mAiqkEKzU

Re: The promo video

[senshi_forever]

No, it was the one posted to the Hulu channel. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to edit posts once they're up though, or I would see if I could fix it (maybe switch it to this one and see if that helps) somehow.

Re: The promo video

[beesknees7]

No, it's definitely allowed to fix something that's not working.

[t_snake]

Thanks op!

I haven't watched this episode yet (trying to stay clear of spoilers) but this season has been excellent. I really really hope we get more.

The writing on some episodes was top. Hulu how about spending less money on the kardashians and more on this show?!

[senshi_forever]

Thanks for reading! <3

I hope we get more too. Fingers crossed!

I also want blurays, an extended Funko Pop collection, some movies... haha a girl can dream right?!

[libre_m]

It's been such a great season! I'm hoping the excellent critical reviews will make Hulu want to keep this going?

[senshi_forever]

If the show is renewed through official channels, I will post about it here so everyone knows and we can celebrate together <3

[kawaiiairbender]

I just started watching this show b/c someone on ontd said it was good. So thanks to whoever. It's decent. I think i'm on s1ep5

For some reason I thought it was a parody show?

[beesknees7]

Yeah, that's on Fox. They wanted to draw in Seth's Family Guy audience so the initial trailer and marketing stuff leaned heavily on the comedy. Then when it came time for critics to review the first three episodes, they eviscerated it because they weren't expecting it not to be a spoof.

[kawaiiairbender]

I understand why they'd do that but that's the opposite of what I'm interested in.

[beesknees7]

Yeah, I remember being excited to watch the show based on and when the first trailer came out being ??? the fuck?!? I'm glad I gave it a chance despite that. I hope you continue to enjoy it, it only gets better as you go on.

[beesknees7]

That was a weird episode for me, half filler, half series finale. Glad we spent so much time on a future daughter-aged girlfriend (btw you can see her on the new Ted series) instead of wrapping up that whole pesky Anaya thing.

But it was all very nice so yay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I will really miss these characters if this is the last time we've seen time.

[senshi_forever]

If this is the last season I will miss them a lot too. Comics and novellas won't do any future storylines justice if they decided to go that route in the wake of a cancellation.

[tlovesdolphin]

I don't think they could wrap up Anaya in 1 episode. Not after what her mom said to Ed in the previous episode. I'm hoping for another season and in that season we'll get Anaya wrapped up. They could take the first 2-3 episodes trying to track her down and finding her. OR, do a time jump and she's a zealot on her planet and Ed has to "save" her from her ways. I never thought she should have been left before. I still don't understand why they went in that direction because Ed as a character wouldn't have done that. He knew how fucked up Krill society is. I don't think he'd leave ANY child in that situation, much less his own.

[beesknees7]

In a satisfying way? Yeah, probably not. If they wanted a quick and dirty resolution, they could have sent a couple of people Krill'd up again and grabbed her and her caretakers while the planet is presumably in chaos over their leader being in custody.

I still don't understand why they went in that direction because Ed as a character wouldn't have done that. He knew how fucked up Krill society is.

Yeah, for me, it's more the tonal shifts are jarring. Shouldn't he be more concerned? Like all the time but especially now that the one person who was offering some semblance of protection for her is no longer able to?
