Even though a lot of it seemed complete nonsense, I really enjoyed this episode a lot. I think the fact that the actor playing Robin brought it just to the edge of smarmy but kept it emotionally real

I can't watch Robin Hood stories without either a) breaking out in 'they're men, they're men in tights! Tight tights!' Or b) canceling Christmas :)

Hello! Long time no comment! (Although I just finished Leverage and I hate/love you and I'm writing things yay)

I watched Deep Breath back when it premiered and never followed up. I just had a hard time gearing myself up for Who again after last season (still not forgiving you for that terrible ending you gave the Ponds, Moffat)

So here I am, and it's about what I expected: I really like Capaldi, and I like we're getting a potential second companion (I really like having two companions tbh), am still wary of the show in general

Predictions:

Everybody lives!!!! (At least through half the season)
I'm actually enjoying the John/Aeryn slow burn not immediately acknowledging a relationship just because they had sex so I'm gonna predict a continuation of the insinuation that they are close but no outright statements
At least one more character will join the Moya
PILOT BACKSTORY PLEASE
Talyn and Crais will be in and out of the season
Even though the whole family will be together at the end of episode 1 they will have been apart long enough for a future episode to explain what happened in that time
In true muppet style the fourth wall will be broken at some time
So we covered a lot of sci if tropes last season, so this season I'm going to predict: BODY SWAP
John will reference at least one thing from my childhood: I'm thinking Ninja Turtles, Rainbow Brite, Cabbage Patch or possibly even hair bands

I loved how this felt immensely like a series finale (hello every season finale of Fringe) and gave the room for character as well as whiz bang action

Also Talyn is going to be a super distracting name only because one of my first (and favorite) Fantasy series had a Talen so I'm going to attribute tons of his characteristics to the ship

Things about this episode that were awesome in no particular order:

-M'Lee is totally Emily so my name was all over it
-Zhaan is a plant! (Insert spoilers about other plant aliens)
-John's character arc after being tortured: he is most definitely not ok, but using humor to cover the slight edge of hysteria
-AERYN AND PILOT AND BABY AHHHHHHH

Haha I'm an Emily too and it was super distracting

I think everyone has summed up most of the points I wanted to make, but I also loved how there's been a shift in Aeryn and John's dynamic but it isn't the normal 'oh we slept together and now it's going to be awwwwwwkard' one but a more adult hey we are more comfortable around each other communicate better one

This whole episode was a giant list of scifi tropes AND I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT

Pretender and Profiler were everything to me, and I think one of the last times I trusted a show on NBC to last any time
