In Space, No One… is a flashback episode, because why not? Noah Hawley likely thinks he’s being so smart to go back mid-season to tell me the story of what really happened in the USCSS Maginot and how Morrow ends up being in this season.
I mean, anyone that has seen the first episode knows that everyone except Morrow ends up dead, so eh, where is the suspense and urgency to watch the episode?
Mind you, what this episode really tells me is that everyone on the ship, except Morrow, is a complete idiot that deserves to die. I have no idea how they even managed to contain the eyeball alien thing we saw in the previous episode — I guess every new Alien show needs to introduce something new, because that freaking black goo hadn’t destroyed the lore enough — that long for it to escape and cause trouble.
You see, the thing easily escapes, so these morons hadn’t secured it properly.
Then, this episode introduces idiots that can’t stop wisecracking even when things are dire, making them look absolutely brain damaged. It also introduces staff members that forget basic protocols and make basic mistakes that make things worse. The lady running the ship can’t make a halfway decent decision to save her life, or anyone else’s, but she has the necessary girl boss attitude to show that “girl boss” is now synonymous with imbecile women.
There is an “engineer apprentice” that doesn’t even know where he is, what he is doing, and the most basic engineering thing. How did he end up on the ship, on a highly classified mission?
Oh, and the whole thing is the result of sabotage, but eh, who cares? The fact that the ship is run by this bunch of imbeciles is self-sabotage enough. The saboteur should have just sit back and let these imbeciles burn the whole thing down with their own unbelievable stupidity.
Also, shocker: Boy Kavalier engineered the whole sabotage. So, basically, this entire show is about dumb manchildren versus dumb manchildren.
So, once again, Marrow is the best thing about an episode, although that’s a low bar considering that everyone else is a complete imbecile, and even then, he’s constantly outsmarted by an eyeball alien. Sigh.
This show sucks xenomorph testicles so hard, and the CGI continues to be trash. I believe they had some guy in the xenomorph suit, but even that is hard on the eyes.
Anyway, don’t watch this thing. Just don’t.
